Segments to Improve
1. Sandbag Lunges: Alain SCHANET spent 00:06:09 on the Sandbag Lunges, which was 01:49 slower than the average. To improve performance in this segment, he should focus on building strength and endurance in his lower body. Specific exercises to incorporate into his training routine include squats, lunges, and deadlifts. Additionally, he should work on his grip strength to better handle the sandbag during lunges. Adding exercises like farmer's walks or grip strength exercises can be beneficial.
2. Roxzone: Alain SCHANET spent 00:06:30 in the Roxzone, which was 01:16 slower than the average. To improve this segment, he should aim to improve his overall fitness and reduce transition time between exercises. Incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and circuit training into his workouts can help improve his cardiovascular endurance and make transitions between exercises more efficient.
3. Sled Pull: Alain SCHANET took 00:05:39 on the Sled Pull, which was 01:06 slower than the average. To improve performance in this segment, he should focus on building strength in his upper body and legs. Exercises such as deadlifts, rows, and sled pulls can be incorporated into his training routine. Additionally, he should work on his technique and form during the sled pull to maximize efficiency.
4. Sled Push: Alain SCHANET spent 00:03:34 on the Sled Push, which was 00:40 slower than the average. To improve this segment, he should focus on building strength and power in his lower body. Exercises such as squats, lunges, and sled pushes can be included in his training routine. Additionally, practicing proper technique and pushing with maximum effort can help improve performance in this segment.
Strategies
