Welcome to Power Hour!
4 Teammates - 12 Workouts - 1 Hour
November 8th & 9th, 2024
What is Power Hour?
Power Hour is a competition that involves 12 workouts split amongst a team of 4 (2 females and 2 males), all done in 1 hour.
The workouts include:
4 Strength Events (as much weight as possible for the exercise)
4 AMRAPs (as many rounds as possible in a given time)
4 For Times (complete the amount of work in as fast a time as you can)
There will be RX and scaled options.
There will be individual & teams of 2, 3 and 4 style workouts
Teams will be ranked by their scores in the workout and whether they chose scaled or RX.
The whole competition in 1 hour?!
Yup! This whole competition is like a 60 minute For Time. We will have 9 heats with 3 teams in each heat. Three heats on Friday (3:30pm, 5pm, 6:30pm) and six heats on Saturday (7am, 8:30am, 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2:30pm). Those 3 teams will have 1 hour to complete as many of the 12 workouts as possible.
Most of the workouts are designed to take 3-8 minutes and the team shares the load so no 1 person is doing all 12 workouts.
Friday’s Schedule:
Heat 1: 3:30pm-4:30pm
Heat 2: 5:00pm-6:00pm
Heat 3: 6:30pm-7:30pm
Saturday’s Schedule:
Heat 4: 7:00am-8:00am
Heat 5: 8:30am-9:30am
Heat 6: 10:00am-11:00am
Heat 7: 11:30am-12:30pm
Heat 8: 1:00pm-2:00pm
Heat 9: 2:30pm-3:30pm
RX & SCALED Options
Every workout has scaled and RX options, however there will be only 1 leaderboard.
This means that instead of having a scaled leaderboard, we will instead use a penalty for choosing scaled over RX. Such as, 3 minutes of added time to your “For Time” workouts or 30 reps taken off of your final “AMRAP” score.
This can be a part of your strategy to finish the most workouts. For example, if Workout 6 will take you 12 minutes to finish RX, but 6 minutes to finish scaled, then choosing scaled and having an adjusted score of 9 minutes is better than 12 minutes.
Would you like to volunteer?
We need people who know movement standards well and are not afraid to give an athlete a “no-rep” when they do not fulfill those standards. We have several shifts you can sign up for. All volunteers get a free shirt!
Check out this Years shirt!
This year you can add a shirt to your order! If you add the shirt to your registration, they are $20 each. You can also buy a shirt at the event for $30.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we do workouts simultaneously?
No, only 1 workout can be done at a time and any teammates not involved in the workout must stand behind the rower.
Can we do the workouts in any order?
The 4 individual strength workouts must be completed first (in any order). Then the remaining 8 workouts can be completed in any order.
Are we able to warm-up before the clock starts?
Absolutely, we encourage you to come in 30-60 minutes before your heat time to warm-up and plan for your heat.
Can a workout be completed by some members of my team as RX while other members do scaled?
No, the whole team must either choose to do any given workout RX or Scaled.
Can 1 workout be completed as scaled and the next one be completed as RX?
Yes, you can complete one workout as RX and the next as scaled, i.e. AMRAP Event 2 - RX, For Time Event 3 - Scaled.
How is this going to be scored?
Each workout your team does will be scored from 1st to last place. 1st place gives 1 point and last place gives the total amount of teams we have in points. So if we have 11 teams and your team gets last, that is 11 points. If your team doesn’t start a workout, it is automatically given last place. If only 4 teams do a workout, then those 4 teams would get a score of 1-4 and the rest of the teams would be given last place points, i.e. 11 points in our example
