This is an important note specifically for people who are competing this summer. Most comps will start to warn/inform you of certain exercises/disciplines/full workouts that they will be testing a few weeks our from when their comp is. If you see this and think “oh no I haven’t done any of that” then there is a flaw in your preparations for competing. I will go straight to the point and what I want you competitors to do.
Find out online what comps you want to do this Summer, then write down a list of important things you need to work on and start doing those things once per week. It could be:
- Get Upside down (handstand – Hold/push ups/walk)
- Go to the Pool and swim
- Climb a Rope
- Start doing ring work (Holds/dips/turn over drills/muscle ups)
It could be a bunch of other things. Find out what you need to get better at. If you start these things now you will be in a much better position when your competition comes up. That way you also don’t need to do a bunch of extra work 2 weeks out and maybe get hurt doing something in excess that you haven’t done before. If you feel your list is too long there is even more incentive to get started now. Pick a few things every month until you only have a small list left. You wont get better at swimming by reading about it.
You have three great coaches at your disposal who are more than happy to give you guidance in how to approach a few extra things in the gym after training or in your own time out of the gym.
Start preparing slowly now so you can build it up over time, rather than starting too late and break yourself down.
