An extension of the worldwide success, #OccupyStrength, the Power Athlete Team Series is where trash talking meets performance in the ultimate team challenge. The question is, where will you and your training partners rank among the strongest and fastest Power Athletes in the CrossFit Football nation?
Assemble your army of 4 people, men and/or women, and prepare to do work. Each individual will be required to do one of the CFFB Total lifts (Power clean, Squat, Bench, Deadlift) as well as a corresponding metcon testing the athlete’s power, speed, and agility. Just as sport allows teams to “stack the deck” placing adept players in key positions, the Power Athlete Team Series emphasizes displaying the same soul crushing dominance in his/her wheelhouse. The competition will culminate in a head to head team prowler event for the top three teams.
This event is an excellent forum for novice and veteran Power Athletes alike to gain experience competing and pushing beyond their perceived athletic potential. Each person will have the opportunity to showcase their talents as well as thrive within a team dynamic to prove that just as iron sharpens iron, so does one athlete sharpen another.
Does your team have what it takes?

Late Registration begins June 30.
