Incorporating exercises such as farmer's carries, dead hangs, and wrist curls into his training routine will help him improve his grip strength. He should also work on his overall strength through exercises such as deadlifts and pull-ups.
Strategies
During the race, Martin should focus on maintaining a steady pace and avoiding going out too fast in the beginning. Pacing himself properly will help him maintain his energy levels throughout the race and avoid fatigue.
He should also pay attention to his form and technique in each segment, making sure to execute each movement efficiently and effectively. Practicing proper form during training sessions will help him perform better during the race.
Additionally, Martin should strategize his transitions between exercise zones. Practicing quick and efficient transitions during his training sessions will save him valuable time during the race.
