Full time athlete, physiotherapist, and trainer from the Netherlands.
Under the name Max Hybrid, I combine extreme strength with endurance and explosiveness: an unique combination.
I completed the Deadlift Mile Challenge: deadlifting 500 lbs (227 kg) and running a mile in under 5 minutes on the same day. Only a handful of athletes worldwide have ever achieved this.
An unique hybrid test day to test my strength, endurance and speed.

My whole life I’ve been obsessed with sports. It’s what brings me the most joy, challenge, and purpose. In my younger years I played all kinds of sports, and around the age of 16 I discovered the gym and became fully invested in it. At the end of 2020 I got back into athletics, and after just 7 months of training I managed to run 49.36 in the 400m. With that insane progress in such a short time, I decided to go all in on athletics to try and go pro.
I sadly didn’t make it. Injury after injury kept setting me back, and eventually I broke down mentally because my achievements weren’t where I expected them to be. That’s when I decided to shift my focus, training more all-round instead of hyper-focused, and that’s how I found hybrid training. I fell in love with it quickly; it challenges me in an extreme but broad way, exactly what I had been searching for.
I love pushing my limits and helping others push theirs as well. Together we always keep moving forward.

I’m on the road to becoming the world’s strongest Ironman.
