Power Racing Formats

​

Power Race

In the shortest amount of time possible complete:

• 50 Deadlift reps

• 50 Bench Press reps

​

The weight used will require you to use multiple sets per event. Find your working weight and reps for pull-ups on the Power Racing Weight Tables. At the Advanced and Elite levels the weight is higher and pullup reps increase. The principle of Power Racing events is to work every muscle in the body. The combination of pull-ups, deadlifts, and bench press do just that. By the end of a Power Race you will have moved 10,000 - 20,000 lbs in 10 - 30 mins. That's some serious power output. Checkout the race rules and test yourself.
