Amidst all of the totally unnecessary and (given the paltry 1RMs of the internet toughguys talking shit) hilarious shit talking about the deadlifts at the Crossfit Games, a question arises: Would you compete in a team powerlifting competition with the same format? Each team has 6 minutes to complete three attempts per lift. Top three lifters per team have their lifts tabulated for scoring (I guess using Wilks or somesuch to account for bodyweight- most crossfitters are within 20-30 lbs of each other in bodyweight), and there would obviously be some standardization for guy/girl ratio. Lets kick it up a notch and use Sean Katterles format, adding the overhead press as a 4th lift. Id love competing in that- quick meets, cool format, and it adds an element of teamwork and strategy. What say you?
