Segments to Improve

1. Sled Pull: Grela lost significant time in the Sled Pull segment, being 02:51 slower than the average. To improve performance in this segment, Grela should focus on building upper body and grip strength.

Additionally, practicing proper sled pulling technique and finding the optimal pulling rhythm can also make a difference.

2. Wall Balls: Grela struggled in the Wall Balls segment, being 01:51 slower than the average. To improve performance in this segment, Grela should work on his lower body strength and explosive power.
