30 years old in a few weeks, 4 times French Full contact champion, and vice world champion for the 3rd time, on his way to his ultimate goal! 🥇
We were able to gather his testimony:
▶️ Can you describe your sporting career?
- I'm 3 times vice world champion in full contact, 2 times vice world champion in kick light, winner of the Paris international open, 4 times French champion and I've won 7 French cups.
- Taking part in the French championships was a special experience for me, especially as I'm approaching my 30th birthday in less than a month's time.
Originally, I hadn't planned to take part in this competition, as I was preparing for international events in two months' time.
However, given my state of fitness, we decided at the last minute to sign me up.
Despite the seven-hour drive and a short night's sleep, I woke up in the morning feeling no particular fatigue, excitement or stress.
When I saw the fight schedule, I immediately knew it was going to be a tough day, but I took it as a challenge to become French champion today.
Physically, I felt incredibly well. All my little aches and pains, including my tendonitis, seemed to have disappeared. During the fights, I was able to manage my energy efficiently, taking it easy when I needed to and speeding up when I had to.
In the end, I'm extremely happy with my performance, because winning the French championship is a great achievement for me.
- To prepare for these major competitions, I'm very rigorous in my preparation.
First of all, I train daily, following an intensive CrossFit-based physical training program.
Then I have strength training, cardio sessions and, of course, specific practice of my sport.
At the same time, I pay close attention to my diet, taking care to eat balanced meals rich in essential nutrients to optimize my performance and promote good recovery.
My sponsors also help me achieve optimum recovery. STIMCARE patches, and recently the IAKOTA sleep mattress topper.
Mental preparation is also a crucial aspect. I work with a mental coach to improve my concentration, self-confidence and stress management before and during competitions.
Finally, I prepare for these major competitions by constantly striving to find a balance between my sporting life and my family life. This involves rigorous management of my time and energy, as well as open and honest communication with my family so that they understand my sporting commitments. I take care to maintain an optimal mental and emotional balance.
Discipline, determination and the support of those close to me are essential in this intense preparation.
- As far as my physical ailments are concerned, like any athlete, I have to deal with various constraints linked to intensive training and competitions. Among the most common physical problems I have to deal with are minor tendonitis and muscular pain due to training load and repeated efforts.
That's where STIMCARE comes in.
This innovative brand offers high-end recovery solutions that have truly revolutionized my recovery routine.
The advanced technology and recovery techniques offered by the patches enable me to relieve muscle tension, speed up recovery after training and prevent injury.
In short, STIMCARE plays an essential role in my physical preparation, enabling me to stay in top shape and perform to my full potential during competitions.
- My main objective is to prepare for 100%.
In two weeks' time, I have my first CrossFit competition, for which I want to be physically and mentally ready. After that, I'll be concentrating entirely on the World Championships in June, where I aim to represent France to the best of my ability.
What's more, a very big international tournament may be looming on the horizon at the end of August. This is a further source of motivation to stay focused and determined in my preparation. I'm ready to take on any challenge with determination!
CrossFit® is much more than just a workout; it's a way of life that requires total commitment, unfailing determination and proper recovery to perform at your best.
On the occasion of the French Full Contact Championships, we interviewed Rémi Senal, a fan of STIMCARE products.
A study of trail runners was carried out during two 21.6-kilometre races.
It measured strength, proprioception and subjective fatigue parameters before, during and after the trail to identify the effects of recovery.
