I know there are some pro vaulters in here and i know that there are alot of good coaches 2. So i was just wondering what sort of training that all of the pro or "elite" vaulters do to get in shape for the season and even during the season. I want to know like what sort of crazy training they do to get in shape to jump 19"!!!

Dean Starkey used to have his workouts posted on vaultstuff.com. They've moved everything over to trackcityusa.com and I am not sure if the workouts are still online.
Sky Jumpers has a little stuff up on their website

Actually, I wasn't being sarcastic at all. I honestly believe everyone on this board, with minimal training, can jump 19".

Only if you're not allowed to tuck your knees into your chest!
