Topic: How high can you monkey vault?

[Adam McC]

No its really not that bad. You just gotta really push with the arms and you're right over.

yeah, then you have to throw your whole body, sometimes in the beggining with things like this you might lift 1 of your arms too early

[Metahead]

Maybe this sounds scary, but don't remove ur arms. Try to bring ur legs in between, or to the side. Just do it. It can lead to another good move (vault to precision, which is standing on the railing).

[Adam McC]

You mean a monkey stall. Yes. Rather possible.

haha thanks too and yeah, i put it in the quotes .
i respect my higher ups too

[Scared Doggy]

Jus curious, are some of you guys confusing a two handed vault with a monkey vault? Because collar bone height is actually really high for a monkey vault, but decent for a two handed vault.

[Adam McC]

Yeah we're talking about monkeys, brah.

[Eli]

Actually clearing the obstacle: About Stomach at it's highest

Landing on the Obstacle: Chest height, or sometimes higher, depending on multiple conditions.

[zayn]

i can kong/monkey about my neck height now it took a while (im 5'5") i just need to work on the distance i can clear maybe a meter when doing higher vaults. im use to chest height though.

[Jacob Giles]

Well, Im 6", and I can comfortably monkey over a rail that goes up to  just below my shoulders.

[Jack Kendall]

YAY. I just went out training the other day and now my monkey is eye-level 

I've been doing a lot of squats, dead-lifts, and pull ups, and it's really paid off.

[Scared Doggy]

So just the other day at a jam I was monkey vaulting at chin level. I was surprised because I had hardly ever just monkeyed anything much before because I was under the impression that it was ridiculous(read above posts). But I've found that I'm quite good at it and it's a good thing to drill for parkour.

[Brian Rowe]

I can hit armpit height confidently, but haven't tried beyond that. For anything higher, I'd rather do a wall-hop.

[bryan]

anything above chest is usually uncomfortable. just make sure your careful when you do it

[Dan Elric]

I'm comfortable with it at my shoulders.  The benefit I have is my short legs.  I can tuck them out of the way easier than most other people could.  I used to be able to lazy shoulder height, but meh.  I've degraded since then due to injury (I'm focusing on ambidextrous vaults though, I've almost got a left handed reverse down).
