HOW I’VE SHAVED OVER 1 MINUTE OFF MY SLED PULL 👇

No increase in strength. Just better technique, efficiency and ex*****on.

HYROX isn’t just about how hard you can work. It’s about how efficiently you can move while conserving as much energy as possible for the rest of the race.

The Sled Pull is a station that can make or break your race and is one of the most important stations to get right.

My top 3 tips:

1️⃣ Take the slack out of the rope immediately.
Get tension through the rope before you start pulling so you can get the sled moving straight away without wasting time or energy.

2️⃣ Long, straight arms + hinge.
Keep your arms long and use more of a hip-hinge position rather than sitting into a deep squat. Think about using your entire bodyweight to move the sled efficiently.

3️⃣ Use the entire box.
Practise exactly how many steps you can take backwards before reaching the back of the box. This means you’re not constantly looking behind you or second-guessing where the line is on race day. For me, 5 steps is the magic number. 🎯

Small technical improvements can make a massive difference over an entire HYROX race.

These tips have made a big difference for both myself and my clients, but they may not work for everyone. Practice different techniques in training and find what works best for you!

Happy Sled Pulling team! 🫡

Save this for your next HYROX session and share it with a friend if it helped! ⚡️

HYROX Perth Men’s Pro 🇦🇺⚡️

🥇 1st Place
✅ 105 points secured
⌚️ 55:14

3rd race of the APAC Tour and stoked to come away with another solid win and secure my spot in the first Elite 15 race in Hamburg!

Another awesome event from HYROX Australia & New Zealand 🔥 The standard continues to improve and it’s great to see the incredible growth happening across the sport and the region 🚀

Extremely proud of all 36 MVMNT MTHD athletes who raced in Perth. The community we’re building is really special and I’m grateful to be a part of it 🙌

Now keen to get home, spend some quality time with the family and then get stuck into the build towards Hamburg 🫡

Massive appreciation to everyone who continues to support me and especially to the incredible brands behind me 🙏

One tip for every station before HYROX Perth this weekend! 🔥

A few simple reminders I like to use that have helped me and the athletes I coach recently.

The goal is always to race smart, stay composed and get the most out of all the training you’ve put in.

Hopefully these help… and hopefully I can take my own advice and not try to win the race to the SkiErg 😅

See you in Perth! 🚀

HYROX Bangkok Men’s Pro 🇹🇭⚡️

🥇 1st Place
✅ 105 points secured
⌚️ 55:49

Quick pitstop in Bangkok but definitely worth it! It’s amazing to see how much HYROX has grown across Thailand and the Asian region. Massive thank you to everyone who came out and supported, the atmosphere was incredible! I’ll definitely be back Bangkok! 🇹🇭🙏

Felt steady and controlled throughout the race, with some key areas still to improve but some positive progress in others. The extra work on the bike has definitely helped my lunges, which was a big positive from today. Keen to keep building 🧱

Now it’s time to get back to the family, recover and go again in Perth next weekend 👊🏽

Thanks to HYROX Thailand and everyone involved for putting together another incredible event 🙌

Give this MVMNT MTHD workout a crack 👊🏽🔥 Big thanks to Damian Votta - HYBRID performance coach for the push!

3 Rounds (30 mins)
E2MOM (Every 2 Minutes)

1️⃣ 40cal Ski
2️⃣ 40cal Row
3️⃣ 40cal Bike
4️⃣ 40 Burpee to Plate
5️⃣ Rest

Stay controlled and consistent across the three machine stations, then push the pace on the burpees before earning your rest. Aim to hold a steady output throughout and finish the final round just as strong as the first.

Suggested Targets:
🔹 40cals / 40 burpees
🔹 30–35cals / 30–35 burpees
🔹 20–25cals / 20–25 burpees

I’d recommend scaling the calories and burpees so each station takes around 1:50 to complete, leaving just enough time to transition. That’ll give you the intended stimulus while helping you maintain a consistent effort across all three rounds.

Wearing the LSKD Greatest of All Time Rep Muscle Training Tank and Greatest of All Time Functional Training 7” Shorts. Super comfortable and perfect for sessions like this.

HYROX race day nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated. Keep it simple, familiar and carb-focused.

The priority is arriving at the start line with maximised glycogen stores without feeling heavy, while minimising gastrointestinal load. This is achieved by prioritising rapidly digestible carbohydrate sources that are low in fibre and fat.

Here is exactly what I did for HYROX Sydney (5:30pm race start). Remember, this is unique to me based on my bodyweight, food preferences and what I’ve practiced over time. This shouldn’t be replicated by everyone, but there may be a few ideas you can take away and test in your own training.

My go-to supplements 🫡

💪 Creatine (5-10g daily): Supports strength and repeat power. I use PILLAR Performance®

🥛 Whey Protein: Helps recovery and maintain lean muscle mass. I use PILLAR Performance®

🔥 Beta-Alanine (4-6g daily for 4+ weeks): Buffers acidity and helps delay fatigue.

🚀 Citrulline Malate (6–8g, 60 mins pre): Supports blood flow and may reduce fatigue.

🫜 Beetroot/Nitrates (400–800mg daily for 3–5 days + final dose 2–3 hours pre): Improves exercise efficiency. I use

☕ Caffeine (2–4mg/kg, 45–60 mins pre): Reduces perceived effort and enhances performance. I use Nodo tablets

🥦 Nomio (Broccoli Extract, ~3 hours pre): Potential reduction in uring high-intensity exercise

The biggest takeaway? Don’t try anything new on race day. Practice your nutrition and supplementation strategy throughout your training block so you know exactly what works for you.

What works for me may not work for you, but hopefully this gives you a few ideas to help build your own race-day plan. 👊🏽

HYROX SYDNEY ⚡️
🥇 1st Place Men’s Pro
⌚️ 55:19

What a race in Sydney! The crowd was electric, the energy was unreal, and the atmosphere was epic.

It’s crazy to think that two years ago, at this exact venue, I lined up for my very first HYROX race. To come back here and see how much the sport has grown in our region over that time is pretty special.

Massive congratulations to for an awesome race and for keeping the pressure on from start to finish. This man has a serious future in the sport!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support tonight. It was awesome to see so many athletes, clients, and friends out there putting together incredible performances. Happy days! 🙌

Thanks again to and everyone involved in putting together another fantastic event.

Reflecting on the 25/26 season

The 25/26 HYROX season was built on consistency, learning, and steady progress. I gradually improved across the year, while also navigating a big personal change in becoming a new dad. Balancing business, training, racing and family life wasn’t always easy, but it’s been an incredible experience and one I wouldn’t change for the world 🙏

The highlights were qualifying for the Elite 15 World Championship race in Brisbane and finishing top 10 in Stockholm. I’m proud of those performances and learnt a lot about what is required to succeed at the top of the sport.

Off the course, building the MVMNT MTHD community continued to be a big focus, with more athletes stepping into the sport for the first time and others achieving milestones they never thought were possible. Alongside that came new partnerships with amazing brands, travel to new countries, meeting great people and sharing the journey with family, which added a lot beyond the racing itself.

Overall, a solid season with plenty to learn from and build on heading into 26/27.
