3RD PLACE | 125KG OPEN

What a weekend 🥹

A massive thank you to my team @everlasting_strength_coaching for all the support across the weekend, especially the man behind my return to three-lift, @markgilbert.sc. Couldn’t be more grateful for the work we’ve put in to get back here.

To @kat.j.lifts, @staaaaccee and @fitzys__adventures, thank you for being in my corner as the day unfolded. Having you guys there made a huge difference, and I couldn’t have competed at the level I did without your input and support.

Now to the numbers 😤

🇼🇸 685KG TOTAL | +5KG PB

SQUAT
205KG 🫡
225KG 🫡
240KG 🫡 +5KG all time / 3 lift PB

BENCH
155KG 🫡
165KG 🫡
170KG 🫡 2.5KG under my 3 lift PB

DEADLIFT
260KG 🫡
275KG 🫡 Equal 3 lift PB
285KG ❌ So damn close 😭

And probably the biggest win of the entire weekend…

I DIDN’T BREAK 😂

Feeling strong and so stoked to be back competing across all 3 lifts. That alone is something I’m seriously grateful for.

Now it’s time to shift the focus to @hybridhard Doubles, which unfortunately means one thing…

Lots of cardio 😭

2 years of Hybrid 22 today.

We didn’t know what this place would become when we opened the doors. What we did know is we wanted to build somewhere that felt different the second you walked in.

Two years and more lessons than we ever expected later, swipe through for what running this gym has actually taught us. About the business, about ourselves, and about the community that’s carried us here every step of the way.

Thank you for trusting us with 2 years. Here’s to year 3 ❤️ taken in Hybrid 22 by @taylen_create

Recap of the last 2 weeks…
The highlight was meeting an absolute idol of mine, @jadentysonlaing. Meeting him was the catalyst for me to start posting more. by @taylen_create

Introducing @chrispowerlifts and Mr Ratio @joshua_genever
If you remember the battles between @critta_ and @arseflip this is the next generation!
These boys could jump up 2 weight classes and podium in any pro show, The real deal!
With both totalling over 10 x body weight this will be an epic match up you do not want to miss!
The hardest part of the u82.5 class invites was trying to get people to put their hand up to go up against these monsters! These guys definitely have my respect 🫡
Which one of them will reach the podium? @johnnyepta73 the m2 legend from NSW or @harrybartlett__ and @kayden.randall2001 the young Tasmanian up and comers?

First squat session back since the big 2 5 0.

Today I decided to squat bare knees, as I was only programmed 150kg. I now know why I can never go back to bare knee 🙃 these sucked.

I was going to hold off from posting, to get “prime time”. But that kinda defeats the purpose of “randomly posting”, so here’s another for your Saturday night / Sunday morning viewing. by @taylen_create

SNAPSHOT | Project: Hybrid 22

Another mini concept for the page, with plenty more to come. I build brands for a living, so I’m thinking it’s about time I start building one for me.

Happy Saturday, fam. by @taylen_create

Hey famsssss,
Jumping back on my content game… 😬

Kicking things off with a little mini series documenting my training journey, “Training Log.” Quick clips of my top sets, with a bit of insight into what my training looks like under the guidance of the one and only @markgilbert.sc 💪

I’ll also be sharing a lot more of me on this platform.

I feel like I’m constantly trying to figure out the right things to post or talk about, when in reality, I live a pretty crazy life with so many different things happening at once.

Somehow, I end up hitting the pause button because I feel like I’ve got “nothing to talk about,” when the reality is, there’s probably too much to talk about 😂

Between training, business, events and everything else life throws at me, there’s always something going on. I think I’ve just spent too much time trying to figure out what’s worth sharing instead of simply sharing it.

So from now on, expect more random posts, more behind the scenes and a lot more of whatever I’ve got going on.

Less overthinking, more sharing.

Thanks for sticking around 🫶

@hybridhard Doubles 2026 🫡

Firstly, a massive thank you to my queen and partner in crime, @jesssrarity. You inspire me every day, and watching you push yourself to your limits only motivates me to keep doing the same. ❤️

To my coach @markgilbert.sc, thank you for continuing to push me and believing in what I’m capable of. Another comp, another step forward, and I’m grateful to have you in my corner through all of it.

To my crazy @hybrid22_ family, you are the reason we get to create experiences like this. My mission will always be to bring this community nothing but the best. I’ll keep doing the work to make sure this place, and every person who walks through those doors, feels welcomed, supported and excited to come back.

To my parents, thank you for your constant support. This week was a massive one for all of us, and I’m so grateful for the long nights and hard hours you put in to help get the space where it needed to be.

To all of our sponsors and partner brands, thank you for backing what we’re building. I genuinely love connecting with so many of you, and it’s special knowing we can continue growing alongside each other.

To my team at H22, what can I say…

WE DID IT. 🥹

There are definitely moments where we question whether we’ve gone too far 😂 but I’ll always walk the distance with you. Proud of what we continue to build together.

A particularly special moment for me this weekend was seeing our culture represented through the dance activation by @rosaosalafai. It genuinely brought me to tears seeing so many people come together, engage and celebrate our people. ❤️

Envision the thing.
Build the thing.
Compete in the thing.

Standing side by side with my H22 fam this weekend as we go to war on the platform and out on the track.

There’s something special about building something from the ground up, then getting the chance to step into it yourself.

Blessed to be here. ❤️ by @taylen_create
