Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls - 01:24 slower than average (86 Percentile Rank)
  • Training Strategies: Incorporate wall ball drills focusing on technique, such as maintaining a consistent squat depth and using the hips for power. Regular circuits involving high-rep wall balls can improve endurance and efficiency.
  • Exercises: Squat to overhead press, med ball slams, and box squats to improve explosive power and endurance.
• Roxzone - 00:39 slower than average (69 Percentile Rank)
  • Training Strategies: Focus on transition drills to minimize time spent between exercise zones. Practicing quick transitions during training sessions can enhance agility and reduce overall race time.
  • Exercises: Shuttle runs, agility ladder drills, and timed transition practice between different exercises.
• Sandbag Lunges - 00:45 slower than average (83 Percentile Rank)
  • Training Strategies: Enhance leg strength and stability through progressive overload on lunges and incorporate core stability exercises.
  • Exercises: Weighted lunges, Bulgarian split squats, and core strengthening exercises like planks and Russian twists.
