Competition Prep 101 What do I do on the day or two prior to competition? • Hydrate... drinks plenty of water all day. • Practice all unfamiliar movements (Rope climbs / Rope Pulls, ring row, over the box jumps, snatches with light loads) in moderation.. Just practice, nothing too crazy heavy! • Eat clean nutrient dense foods. Pick and choose foods without food labels. Stay away from fatty cuts of meat and incorporate more fish, chicken , or Turkey (White meats) • Avoid excess salt • If you need to work out keep it low intensity ( light jogging , biking or rowing) no more than 20-30 minutes • Work on mobility ( i.e. Foam Roll and super band stretches) • Get plenty of quality rest What do I do the day of? (COMPETITION DAY) • Take a chill pill ( relax.. it’s just another WOD youve done this before) • Eat a normal breakfast. Eat what you would normally would prior to a WOD. Keep it simple. There is no need to change anything drastically at this point. EXAMPLE (2 Eggs, 1 Apple, 1 tbsp. of nut butter and tall glass of H2o) • Last big meal should be about 3- 4 hours prior to warming up • Stay limber and stretch often • Have confidence knowing youve trained and are prepared for this. I guarantee you have had harder WOD’s in the box WARMING UP • A proper warm up can make or break you. Adrenaline is very high prior to competition, use your warm up to ease the nerves to help avoid an adrenaline dump. • Warm ups should be similar to the ones we do every day you workout. • You should break a good sweat during your warm and be somewhat worn but not whooped. • Take as much time as you need to warm up. • Your warm up should feel like a mini WOD ( don’t be worried about being too tired before competing) • Drink about 8oz about 15 minutes prior to stepping on stage DURING COMPETITION • Have confidence knowing youve trained and are prepared for this. • HAVE FUN DUDE • Clam yourself…. Don’t stress and keep composure... (again it’s just a workout) • Drink fluids with a bit of carbs mixed with BCAA’s ( Gatorade, Coconut water, Pedia lite) • Refuel Properly in between WOD’s (Eat foods that are easy to digest) Fruit and Protein shakes are great in between workouts • Eat about 45 minutes-1 hour prior to WOD’s depending on tolerance • Kick ass then repeat
