Photo of the Day: Ben Garard Snatch & Lights

I was recently on a photo shoot with Ben Garard. Afraid he may hurt himself before this years CrossFit Games season, I suggested he go light with the weight, as he had also just completed CrossFit Workout 14.1.  

Telling Ben to avoid the heavy weights was all the fuel he needed to go heavy and consequently hit a new Snatch PR of 121kg under the bright lights.

I have photographed many athletes, across many disciplines, but I don’t think I have ever come across a man as driven as Ben Garard.
