What all have people been doing so far when it comes to training? We have been doing a lot of conditioning, core work, and toning stuff, but we are just starting to get into speed work, mid weights, and pole drills. We wont jump til at least middle of november. Our new coach has been working us hard! Just wondering what all else people are doing..

We've been doing only conditioning, speed work and lifting up until this week at Point Loma Nazarene University. Pole drills started yesterday.

the decs just got the poles in our hands today. did some walk plants, pole carry and slide box stuff.

anyone else put on A LOT of weight so far??? i'm 15lbs up from my fighting weight from last year.

First day of jumping from very short run 3 steps and 5 steps starts tomorrow. Mostly its been conditioning, some speed work, lifting, and then a few pole drills the last couple of weeks.

I've put on about 6 pounds so far...about 8 since last season.

I am up about 5-10 pounds from last year. We have definately been lifting a lot, and a lot of walking plants, along with an amazing amount of core and ring workouts!!

We have been doing short run vault stuff for over a month now. I moved back to 6 lefts last week. We are vaulting two times a week and incorporating speed work and technical stuff into those vault days. Other days are conditioning, speed work, gymnastics, weights etc.

I put on like 7 pounds for a bit then it just went away so I am back at 163.

I feel kinda to say this but I havent done a dang thing!!! The last time I vauslted was at the regionals meet and the last time I worked out was well I havent...I need to start but Im a f-ball trainer so I cant do it during or after school .. But I'll start soon..I NEED SPEED

ps. 6'5" 207lbs

the first week we had 5 morning conditioning workouts, 5 afternoon strength and circuit training workouts, 3 lifting workouts, and a gymnastics workouts, and a 4 left drill day on sunday

the next 4 weeks was 2 morning condition, 5 afternoon, 3 lifting, a gymnastics, and a 4 left drill day,

last 3 weeks we have had 2 mornings, 3 afternoons, 3 litftings, 2 gymnasitcs, 2 vault days (this week we have gotten back 5 and 6 left vaults

this week we are in a recovery phase.. just lifting and some light running


and i was up to a 6'4 190 for a bit. but now that weve vaulted ive dropped back down to 185... feeling good too.

Training this year has been great

our vault coach finally got a full time job here at uconn so now we have a great training schedule. for the first 2 months sept and oct, have been doing nothing but running lifting gymnastics rope work,

all my maxes have increased by atleast 10 pounds since last fall and my times have dropped a large amount in my running trials.

gymnastics training has been helping a lot too to keep us toned and keep our strength to weight ratio up . and all the rope climbs are paying off as well

i have lost 10 pounds since last last spring which is awesome because im stronger and more fit than i have ever been

im around 175 lbs now at 6' 1"

im ready to start vaulting though, i havent touches a pole since the summer, i get to go to get on the runway in november finally

Yeah I am only 5'10... But I am due a growth spurt this year.
