Segments to Improve

• Sled Pull (09:48, 97th Percentile)

  This was the most challenging segment for Giuseppe, where he was 03:30 slower than average. To improve:

  • Drills: Incorporate sled pull workouts with varying weights to improve pulling strength and endurance.
  • Exercises: Focus on deadlifts, bent-over rows, and grip strength exercises like farmer's walks.
  • Technique: Practice efficient footwork and body positioning to maximize pulling efficiency.
• Wall Balls (10:18, 77th Percentile)

  Giuseppe was 01:26 slower than average in this segment. To enhance performance:

  • Drills: Perform wall ball sets with varying weights and heights to build muscle memory and endurance.
  • Exercises: Strengthen legs and core with squats, lunges, and core stability exercises.
  • Technique: Focus on maintaining a consistent rhythm and efficient squat-to-throw motion.
• Sled Push (04:48, 85th Percentile)

  Improvement is needed, as Giuseppe was 01:04 slower than average. Suggested improvements:

  • Drills: Practice sled pushes with incremental loads to build leg and core strength.
  • Exercises: Include leg press, lunges, and core workouts in training routines.
  • Technique: Work on body alignment and foot placement for optimal force application.
• Farmers Carry (03:43, 93rd Percentile)

  Giuseppe was 01:02 slower here. To boost performance:

  • Drills: Practice longer farmers carries with various weights to build endurance.
  • Exercises: Focus on grip strength with exercises like dead hangs and heavy holds.
  • Technique: Work on maintaining a steady pace and posture during carries.

Race Strategies

• Transition Efficiency

  Although Giuseppe's Roxzone time was slightly faster than average, optimizing transitions can shave off crucial seconds. Practice quick equipment handling and transition drills to reduce time spent in these zones.

• Balanced Pacing

  Given Giuseppe's strong running capacity, it is important to maintain a steady pace throughout the race. Avoid starting too slow by building confidence in the initial kilometers through paced interval training.

• Strength-Endurance Balance

  To balance his running proficiency with improved strength performance, Giuseppe should incorporate hybrid workouts that simulate race conditions, combining running with strength exercises to enhance endurance under fatigue.
