This year’s edition, The Hybrid Showdown 4, held on January 15-16, 2022 At HYBRID Performance Method Gym Miami, FL, is no exception and was like the Met Gala for powerlifting.

Besides the impressive total performances from Blake Lehew, Samantha Rice, and Hunter Henderson, The Hybrid Showdown 4 was based more around individual event performances like John Haack’s massive bench press, and Kiersten Scurlock’s squat. However, considering this was the first major competition in the year, means that in the near future, we can expect even better results from these athletes.
