C.CADDY Heads to Rouge HQ for Battle of the Ages 2026 Workshop

Big lifts, new skills and a whole lot of co-ordination. C.CADDY recently joined Ben Garard from Benton at Rouge HQ in Ingleburn to get ready for Battle of the Ages 2026, and what a day it was!

With the creator himself behind Battle of the Ages, we had the opportunity to run through the upcoming events, meet some incredible people and get everyone prepared for what’s shaping up to be an exciting competition. Set inside the stunning Rouge HQ facility, the workshop was the perfect chance to connect with the community, talk training and introduce a few new skills ahead of competition day.

Event 3 | Powered by C.CADDY

We’re proud to be powering Event 3 at Battle of the Ages 2026, bringing co-ordination into the competition with a fun three-ball juggling tiebreaker.

While the main event is all about strength, technique and strategy, the C.CADDY component adds a different challenge, testing timing, hand-eye co-ordination and body control under pressure.

The challenge: Establish your max weight in five minutes

Athletes will have five minutes to establish their maximum weight for the following barbell complex:

• 1 Clean

• 2 Front Squats

• 3 Shoulder to Overhead

Athletes can complete as many attempts as they like within the five-minute window, adjusting their weights as needed. All six reps must be completed and confirmed by the judge for the lift to count.

With a mix of strength, technique and decision-making involved, athletes will need to plan their attempts carefully and make every second count.

The C.CADDY tiebreaker: 30-second max three-ball juggling

After the barbell complex, athletes will have 30 seconds to rest before taking on a 30-second three-ball juggling challenge.

Each ball thrown up and caught by the opposite hand counts as one rep, with three balls provided by C.CADDY in every lane. Athletes get one attempt, with judges recording their reps.

The juggling challenge is not a scored event. It’s simply a fun tiebreaker designed to bring a different skill into the mix and give athletes the chance to try something new.

And if you haven’t tried three-ball juggling before, now’s the perfect time to start practising!

Getting Competition Ready

One of the best parts of the day was getting everyone involved in the C.CADDY juggling challenge and running through a few tips to help athletes prepare for competition day.

Three-ball juggling is all about rhythm, timing, focus and consistency. It can feel tricky at first, but breaking the movement down, starting with the basics and building confidence through repetition can make a big difference.

It was great to see everyone giving it a go, having a laugh and stepping outside their usual training routines. After all, co-ordination isn't just about getting the movement right. It's about learning new skills, challenging yourself and having fun along the way.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped for a chat, got involved in the workshop and picked up a C.CADDY Co-ordination Kit. We loved being able to share what we're building and see the kit getting into more hands across the training community.
