Battle of The Ages creates an event where athletes of all ages and levels can participate in a meaningful way.
Our four person, mixed decades team concept creates a format of great strategy that draws out many first time competitors.
Just about everyone will be on a team with someone that they have not competed with before.
This creates a magical environment that provides long lasting memories for everyone!
We do have scaled and RX divisions but also create our workouts so that stronger more advanced athletes can do the higher level movements and newer athletes can do the basics.
Everyone is ready for BOA.
Most previous participants say BOA is the most fun and memorable event they have ever participated in. Click here to see over 150 reviews from athletes.

Thruster Ladder
Each athlete will complete 2 thrusters per weight within a 1 minute period. This is meant to be somewhat of a speed ladder. A thruster is a front squat to a push press. On the squat the athlete must squat until the hip crease breaks the plane of the top of the knee. Then the athlete must continue up out of the squat into a press. This is a push press and not a jerk. The lift is complete when the elbows are fully extended with the barbell directly above the head. If the athlete is unable to complete the lift but able to bring the bar to the front rack position they may attempt the lift again as long as it within the 1 min time limit. At each station, two lifts will be completed at two different weights. Once an athlete is unable to successfully complete two reps at a weight then they are eliminated from the ladder. The score will be a combined total of each athlete's final successful lift. The ladder will be set up like this. Bar 1 - 35,45 Bar 2 - 55,65 Bar 3 - 75,85 Bar 4 - 95,115 Bar 5 - 135,155 Bar 6 - 185,205 Bar 7 - 225,245 Bar 8 - 255,275 Bar 9 - 295,315 Bar 10 - 335,355 Divisions will start at different weights.
