  • Training Strategy: Incorporate resistance training focused on upper body and core strength. Work on pulling mechanics and posture to optimize force application.
  • Exercises: Sled drags with increasing weight, bent-over rows, deadlifts, and core stabilization drills.
• Sandbag Lunges (01:23 slower than average, 97th percentile)
  • Training Strategy: Focus on leg strength and stability. Practice proper lunge form with a focus on knee alignment and core engagement.
  • Exercises: Weighted lunges, Bulgarian split squats, and balance drills using a BOSU ball.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:34 slower than average, 79th percentile)
  • Training Strategy: Enhance explosive power and improve cardiovascular endurance. Prioritize efficient movement transitions.
