Welcome to your first round of performance testing within your Complete Racing Solutions Performance & Nutritional Program! I am excited to be working with you and your motorcycle related fitness. Before we get into the program elements, I just want to bring a couple of things to your attention. First, you will notice that there are numerous resources available to you as a member of this program (CompleteRacingSolutions.com). The more you utilize these resources, the more information you will have on how your body is adapting to consistent, motocross specific training. Within this program you will be tweaking your strength, endurance, nutrition, flexibility and mental program specific to riding faster and longer than ever.
To maximize your productivity within this program we have to begin by capturing some baseline data – welcome to Week #1. Here are the first three steps within your Complete Racing Solutions Performance Program:
Step 1: Download and save the Phase 1 – Week 1 Baseline Testing Protocols attachment.
Step 2: Please review each day’s notes and protocols closely. Please keep in mind that there isn’t a pass / fail in regards to these protocols, it just provides both you (the rider) and me (your human performance coach) a specific baseline of your current muscular strength and endurance. As you complete each assessment, you will want to document your results in your attached CRS Performance Report Card (see notes below on how to utilize).
Step 3: Download and save each of your CRS Performance Resources:
- Performance Report Card-Time Trials: As you complete the various assessments (based on the equipment available to you), drop the data into the appropriate tabs listed at the bottom of your CRS Report Card File.
- Plyometric Baseline Assessments: Keep detailed notes within the spreadsheet provided within your printed schedule so that you can compare your progress when we reassess in at the beginning of your next training cycle. Please notice that there are video links to illustrate exactly how to complete the provided exercise. Please watch these videos prior to beginning your strength assessment.
To help you clearly understand all of these files, please watch the videos below. Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything clarified. Be patient during this first couple of weeks as we begin to capture a tremendous amount of information about your current fitness and performance abilities. The more consistent you can be with learning how certain physiological principles are applied to your riding, the faster and more durable you will become! Remember our goal of working together – Work Smart, Not Hard and Avoid Overtraining!
Yours in sport & health,
-Coach Robb, Coaches & Staff
