Thank goodness Events 3 & 4 of @battleofbenton are only 5 minutes long 😂 These runner’s knees aren’t about to make any miraculous strength gains in the next week, so the lifting event may be a rather short-lived affair. 🫠 The burpees, however? Those have my name written all over them. Well, at least I thought they did until about round 6 when I started questioning my enthusiasm. 😂 Anyway, nothing like a little pre-comp reality check to keep the ego in check! EVENT 3 | MAX WEIGHT COMPLEX ⏱ 5 minutes to establish max weight • 1 Clean • 2 Front Squats • 3 Shoulder to Overhead EVENT 4 | DEADLIFTS & BURPEES ⏱ 5-minute time cap For time: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 • Deadlifts @ 65kg • Lateral Burpees Over Bar Oh, and did I mention these two events are BACK TO BACK?! One minute to change plates and straight back into it. Such a treat! 😂 #eventprep #crossfit #travelandtrain #metcon

Increase or decrease weight as needed. • Clips must be on the barbell. Confirm weight with your judge before each attempt. • Judges must confirm each rep before you move on.

MOVEMENT STANDARDS: • Clean: power, squat or split clean. • Front squat: hip crease below knee, full lockout at the top. • Shoulder to overhead: strict press, push press, push jerk, split jerk or any combination. • You may finish the complex if the bar leaves the ground before the 5-minute mark. • Chalk provided.

A little introduction to By Hollie Media 🤎 What started as a love for capturing sport, movement and the moments in between has grown into something a little bigger. Having spent years building a business myself, I know how much goes into creating something you’re proud of. I also know how difficult it can be to capture all the things you wish people could see. The little interactions throughout the day. The work happening behind the scenes. The details you’ve spent hours getting right. The moments that make your business yours, but are so easily missed when you’re busy making everything happen. And it’s not just business. As someone who has spent plenty of time competing myself, I know how much it means to look back on an event and see the moments you didn’t get to experience from the outside. The effort, the emotion, the people cheering you on. The expressions you didn’t realise you made and the moments you barely remember because you were so caught up in what you were doing. There’s something pretty special about seeing your own experience through someone else’s lens. That’s what I love about photography and videography. The opportunity to capture things the way the people involved would want to remember them. By Hollie Media brings that approach to photography, videography and content creation across a range of industries. From the slower, everyday side of business to the bigger moments: brand photography, behind the scenes content, social media reels, sporting competitions, events, launches, accommodation, athletes and Airbnb photography, and everything in between. Sometimes it’s about creating content that helps tell the story of your business. Other times, it’s simply about having someone there to document something you’ve worked incredibly hard towards. Because so often, the person putting everything together is the one who ends up with the fewest photos of themselves actually enjoying it 🫶🏻 Whether you’ve built something, achieved something or brought people together, I believe those moments deserve to be captured with the same care and intention that went into creating them. Welcome to By Hollie Media. Photo | Video | Content Hollie x

“Hybrid Dream Wreckers” showed up and lived up to our team name 😈😈😈😈 I put this team of random CrossFitters together on two weeks’ notice. A last minute rego decision to see if we could ruin the repeat for the @98gymsydney @98gymrileystreet boys and try humble them at their own game. We talked it up in the lead up so they’d bring their A-Game and then backed it up with a clean sweep 6 from 6 event wins🥇 No free rego entry. No prize money. We all actually lost money by being there (and I got a parking fine lol) but we walked away with all the glory. Sometimes that’s a price worth paying. Targets on our backs now. Whoever wants some can come get it! Proud of my boys!! We’ll be there to defend our title next year 🏆 @98gamesofficial @ryan.mulvaney @lachlan_park_ @destrytamai

It requires the most coordination, accuracy and decision making of the five events. We’re looking forward to seeing which option athletes choose and how those decisions play out on competition day. Get practicing. Test both options, figure out what works best for you and build your strategy before you hit the floor. Register via the link in bio. Questions?

THE LONG HARD NIGHT SATURDAY 21 NOVEMBER | 8PM TO 8AM BENTON GYM MIXED TEAMS OF THREE Some nights are harder than others. This one is going to be hard by choice. We’re really proud to be hosting The Long Hard Night at Benton Gym this year in collaboration with @lskd and @movember Men’s mental health is something we’ve been personally affected by, as have many people close to us. We know how many families and communities have been impacted by it, and we also know there are so many people struggling that you would never even know about. It’s probably far more common than most of us realise. So when this opportunity came up, we wanted to play our part. The goal is simple: 40 TEAMS 120 PEOPLE 12 HOURS 1 PERSON ALWAYS WORKING Teams of 3. Mixed gender. You’ll rotate through the Air Runner, SkiErg, RowErg and BikeErg, working together to accumulate as many kilometres as possible over the 12 hours. But this isn’t really about the kilometres. It’s about getting together, having the conversations, suffering together, raising money and doing something that challenges you. We’ve never done anything like this ourselves, so this will be a completely new experience for us too. And honestly, 12 hours of suffering is nothing compared to what some people and families go through when they’ve been personally affected by men’s mental health. So even if you’re not ready to speak up. Even if you don’t know what to say. Even if you haven’t been personally affected, or don’t know anyone who has. Come and suffer with us anyways. Grab two mates. Build a mixed team. Make a commitment. Every cent raised goes directly to Movember. AND THERE’S MORE. Your ticket includes a full LSKD team outfit for every team member. Top + bottom, chosen by you. Let’s make it a night that means something. A night that creates awareness, starts conversations and hopefully encourages people to make a change, speak up and get the help they need. ENTER YOUR TEAM. SUFFER TOGETHER. START THE CONVERSATION.
