from our sponsor angry calf
Angry Calf was launched in February 2018 with the simple goal of making high quality Crossfit gear that was affordable for athletes and actually made a difference to performance.
Around the same time as our Company was launching, a new Masters competition was being developed across Australia branded MastersHQ. To be fair we didn’t know a lot about Masters Competitions and it was only through a chance encounter that we were introduced to Mel Robinson and the team who run the MastersHQ season.
As a small start-up Crossfit brand with a limited following, we reached out to the HQ crew and asked if we could participate as a prize sponsor for the season and we were delighted when they took the chance on Angry Calf and bought us on board for their inaugural competition season.

These workouts are tough, challenging and some participants may struggle to complete SOME aspects, or they rise to the occasion. By no means is it a battle of survival, but we do aim to challenge all competitors.
