Suffice it to say that the 2023 Rogue Strongman Invitational is absolutely packed with some heavy hitters.
Originally the show was a CrossFit only event at its inception, but has since expanded to Strongman as well. This has allowed the event to reach a wider audience. With the total purse being offered to athletes, including CrossFit, reaching $1,533,263, the Rogue Invitational offers the highest payout to strongman competitors. As such one has to wonder if the event will eventually become the premiere competition for strongman athletes.
