Pole Vault Workout

Bill Ford created the energy-conserving and reliable pole vault trainer that is known as the "Rick Attig Swing Up and Invert Device" that many pole vault teams are finding provides a great pole vault workout. It is used to improve the technique by all athletes on the pole vault team. The machine promotes proper muscle firing and correct timing so that after you repeat the pole vault workout several times, it converts into correctly programmed and retrievable muscle memory. With proper spotting and consistent training with the pole vault simulator, an athlete will convert created speed on the runway into a strong aerial phase of the pole vault.

The use of the SI Device for a regular pole vault workout will lead to a more successfully completed aerial phase which will in turn allow the athlete to continue the upward movement of the hips which will convert into a greater flyaway and thus the clearance of higher bars. The aerial phase of the pole vault requires the swing up, the close off, and the launch. Until this piece of equipment was developed, there was no single piece of equipment that allows athletes to get a pole vault workout that would simultaneously and sequentially practice all components of the aerial phase in one succession of correct movements.

When Bill Ford realized that what was needed for a pole vault workout that would be effective was a machine that was all-inclusive so that athletes could correctly and successfully feel the appropriate body positions and timing necessary to utilize their speed, jumping ability and the pole's recoil for the highest and safest vault possible. He created this device to provide a pole vault workout that would slow down the aerial part of the vault while safely spotting the athletes. He was convinced that the device would allow them to safely and correctly feel and execute the movements in the aerial phase. After many attempts, much welding and cutting, and trial-after-trial by Bill's son Michael, the Rick Attig Swing Up and Invert Device was created.
