2. Running 8: This segment was significantly slower for Camron. To improve his performance, he can focus on specific drills and exercises that target his running endurance and speed. Plyometric exercises like box jumps, jump squats, and bounding can help improve his explosiveness and power, which can translate to faster running times.
3. Sled Push and Sled Pull: These segments were slower for Camron compared to the average. To improve his performance in these exercises, Camron should focus on building his lower body strength. Squats, lunges, deadlifts, and hip thrusts can help improve his leg and glute strength, which are crucial for pushing and pulling the sled.
4. Burpees Broad Jump: Camron lost significant time in this segment. To improve his performance, he can focus on both his upper body strength and explosiveness. Incorporating exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and medicine ball slams can help improve his upper body strength. Additionally, plyometric exercises like broad jumps and tuck jumps can help enhance his explosiveness.
5. Sandbag Lunges: This segment was slower for Camron. To improve his performance, he should focus on improving his lower body strength and stability. Exercises like walking lunges, Bulgarian split squats, and step-ups can help strengthen his legs and improve his balance and stability during lunges.
Strategies
