He should also work on his technique and practice efficient wall ball shots to minimize time wasted.
- The Farmers Carry segment was another area where Philipp lost time. To improve in this segment, he should focus on grip strength and overall endurance. Exercises such as farmer's carries, dead hangs, and forearm-specific exercises can help him improve his grip strength. Additionally, training his cardiovascular fitness through running and high-intensity interval training can help improve his endurance for this segment.
- The Ski Erg segment was slower than average for Philipp. To improve in this segment, he should focus on improving his overall cardiovascular fitness and technique on the Ski Erg. Incorporating interval training, such as sprints and tabata-style workouts, can help improve his cardiovascular endurance.

Strategies

- To improve overall race performance, Philipp should focus on pacing himself appropriately throughout the race. It is important to avoid starting too fast and burning out early, as well as to maintain a consistent effort level throughout the race. Proper pacing will help him avoid fatigue and maintain a steady performance across all segments.
- Additionally, Philipp should focus on efficient transitions between segments to minimize time spent in the Roxzone. This can be achieved through practicing quick and smooth transitions during training sessions. He should aim to minimize rest periods and optimize his movement between stations to save time.
- Lastly, Philipp should consider incorporating specific training sessions that mimic the demands of the Hyrox race. This can include interval training that combines running or rowing with strength exercises, as well as practicing the specific movements and equipment used in the race. By simulating race conditions during training, he can better prepare himself for the demands of the actual event.
