Once Athlete A completes run and push-ups, Athlete B resumes the hang hold where Athlete A left off.

The lifts MUST be completed in order (Clean, Bench Press, Overhead Squat). Athletes may use their own barbell and a single rack. They may assist each other loading their barbell. All attempts must be completed BEFORE the 18-minute time cap. Any attempt where the athlete is still in motion after the 18-minute cap will not count.

Meet Joe and Rocky, Co-founders of BattleGrounds Fitness and the Battle Buddy brawl!
Joe and Rocky are two Marine Corps veterans who served in active duty together in the early 2000s, deploying to Eastern Europe, South America, and Iraq.
After nearly a decade apart, they reconnected and their shared passion for health & fitness led them to co-found BattleGrounds Fitness, in memory of their good friend and fellow Marine, SSGT David H. Stewart, who was killed in Action in 2014 in Afghanistan.
In 2022, they co-founded the Battle Battle Brawl. An event dedicated to honor and help those who serve. This CrossFit competition is run by Veterans to support other Veterans, and takes place on Veterans Day weekend—a perfect tribute to their service and commitment to the community.
Their goal is for Battle Buddy Brawls to take place at Crossfit gyms accross the world. If you are interested in hosting a Battle Buddy Brawl at your gym, please contact us at battlegroundsfit@gmail.com
