Sam interviews Brandon Wynn
The former Worlds Rings medalist — and cover boy — Brandon Wynn is Sam Pezek’s first male guest.
Brandon is now in the fitness world. He wants to make an impact in that field. With passion.
He recommends we should all have some things in our life that are non-negotiable. Including our personal fitness regime.
Brandon gets very specific on best practice for artistic strength training. Do your specific strength at the beginning of training. General strength and exhaustion training at the end.
The goal is for the competition routine to feel exactly the same as in training. Brandon is a smart guy. He recognizes now some of the mistakes he made in his own career. He would have competed at a lower weight, for example.
… those strange deductions on Rings
At European Championships the Rings panel had SmartRings v6 software. It’s developed in Netherlands.
Deductions for strength hold flagged by that software were shown as extra deductions not included in the E-score.
I did see several occasions where the panel double checked the software by watching the video after the routine was finished. Perhaps it’s not foolproof yet.
Nobody I’ve spoken with knows exactly how it works. GBR coach Lee Woolls did post this.
