Re: Help with decathlete inverting please

I think the take off is good and there lies the ability to invert. He's got the package. Punch the hips up violently, don't look at the bar. The shoulders will drop if he let's them.

Re: Bracing at takeoff

There is a video out there with Petrov and Isenbayeva doing the sand pit drill "correctly". I say correctly because I think that Petrov's drills and training are the standard. As Monteo says, staying behind the pole means staying behind the pole. We work in the sand pit on accelerating int...
