Gymnastic-based core workouts.
On high bar:
straight legged leg lifts to parallel with ground (3X10)
Same thing but go all the way to the top of the bar (3X8)
Same thing and finish on top with a bubka (3X6)
If you can do all that in 1 day your core is ready to vault 17'+.
Those are the intense ones we do. You will want and need core muscle endurance (crunches and sit ups) before you start muscular strength training.

Can you provide any visual?
Hard time picturing the half way inverted one...
