Garden Battle vol. 3 2019 - results

Garden Battle vol. 3, always held in May as a spring battle in the garden, brought some very interesting results to the season and showed the emergence of a new generation.

This year the competition was held on a structure from WOclub, who supplied the Street Hard Workers team with a set of four trapeze bars. Amix Nutrition donated 2 x large 4kg proteins to the competition, as well as 2 x 2.5kg proteins, 2 x BCAAs and kickers, vitamins and minerals, shakers, towels and many other exciting prizes.

At registration each athlete was given a 50g protein bag, water, fruit and vegetables were taken at each athlete's discretion.

At the beginning all the exercises were explained how they should be done correctly to be recognized by the jury. The competition started at 1pm and the first event was the push-ups.

In the men's snatch, Petr Teplík was the most stacked with 31 snatches in absolutely perfect quality, followed by Michal Kosty and Jan Husak with 25 snatches.

In women Martina Kovaříková gave the most shifts with 20 shifts and the second was Arleta Krausová with 17 shifts and the third was Nikola Křišt'anová with 8 shifts.

After the push-ups followed the performance of the Chomutov group dedicated to acroyoga under the direction of Jana Kuklova. The performance was conceived as an exercise for parents and children and showed a very interesting view of how to work out together and how to show how to work with the body in a very aesthetic way to music.

The second discipline in which the competition was held was the dips on the bars. The dips on the parallel bars were done in the form of a battles. That is, two fighters against each other and dipped to their maximum. Michal Kosty did the most dips in the men's division with 84 dips, and Petr Teplík and Jan Husák did 45.ti dips each.

After this discipline, the Street Hard Workers group came out and showed a freestyle demonstration on the trapeze, bars and ground with demonstrations of the absolute hardest exercises, such as maltesers, planche, front lever with pull-ups, back lever with pull-ups and on one arm, etc.

The demonstration was followed by push-ups! The king of push-ups was Jan Husák with 125 push-ups, followed closely by Michal Kosty with 119 push-ups and Petr Teplík with 110 push-ups.

In the women's division, Arleta Krausová gave the most push-ups with 75 push-ups and the second place was taken by Martina Kovaříková with 59 push-ups and the third place was taken by the local Nikola Křišťanová from Žatec with 33 push-ups. It should be added that the girls did the same classic push-ups as the men.

The last discipline was squats and for men it was with added weight on the axis of 100% of own weight and for women with 50% of own weight. It is often said of street workout athletes that they only train on the trapeze and don't train their legs or only with their own weight. This event, however, showed that even a street workout athlete has trained for squats and was dropping very nice numbers.

The most squats among the men was given by Petr Teplík with 54 squats and the second was Michal Kosty with 51 squats and the imaginary third place in this discipline went to Jan Husák with 40 squats.

It should be added that Petr Teplík will be 46 years old this year and Jan Husák 39 years old and the winner of the Garden Battle Michal Kosty will be 20 years old, so there is a situation where athletes with a big generation gap compete with each other and yet the younger generation has big problems to win.

In the women's squats, Arleta Krausova reigned supreme, lifting 50% of her weight exactly 220 times and setting a new competition record. She surpassed Klara Curikova, who in 2017 gave 200 squats with 50% of her own weight. Martina Kovaříková did 100 squats with 50% of her own weight and Sabina Kopčová from Pilsen did 76 squats.

The whole event was in a very friendly spirit, where athletes supported each other and encouraged each other to better performances. At the end of the battles there was an after party where we had a barbecue and discussed the experiences from the event and from the training.

Next battle will be 02.06.2019 in Chomutov - Street Hard Workout Battle 2019
