Segments to Improve
Wall Balls: Being 3:08 slower than average, this segment offers substantial room for improvement. Focus on improving shoulder endurance and core stability. Suggested exercises include:
Wall Ball Shots: Practice with lighter balls to perfect form, gradually increasing weight.
Overhead Squats: Enhance shoulder stability and core strength.
Wall Sit with Medicine Ball: Build endurance while holding a medicine ball above head.
Sandbag Lunges: At 1:23 slower than average, enhance leg strength and balance. Recommended drills:
Weighted Lunges: Perform with varying weights to improve strength and stability.
Step-ups with Sandbag: Mimic the motion under load to improve muscle memory.
Core Rotations: Use a medicine ball to improve core stability during dynamic movements.
Burpees Broad Jump: To close the 26-second gap, focus on explosive power and endurance:
Plyometric Drills: Box jumps and burpee box jumps for explosive strength.
Core Drills: Plank variations to maintain strong form throughout the motion.
Farmers Carry: Slightly slower by 5 seconds. Focus on grip strength and core endurance:
Heavy Farmers Walks: Use heavier weights to enhance grip strength and core stability.
Dead Hangs: Improve grip strength and shoulder endurance.
Race Strategies
