Barbells for Boobs

CrossFit affiliates all over the US will be hosting ‘Amazing Grace’ fundraisers this month supporting Mammograms In Action. We have been inspired by this idea to hold our own charity event raising funds for a UK Breast Cancer charity.

In support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, CrossFit Tameside are hosting a ‘Barbells for Boobs’ Challenge on Saturday 30th October between 10am and 2pm. This year’s challenge will be to complete the CrossFit benchmark workout ‘Grace’, 30 Clean and Jerks, as fast as possible.

There will be a prize for the fastest male and female competitor completing the workout at the prescribed weight of 60kg for men and 40kg for women. Entry costs £5 with all the monies raised going to pioneering charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

This workout can be scaled for all fitness levels – if you can’t manage a barbell it can just as easily be ‘broomsticks for boobs’. This workout will be great fun in a supportive environment so come and have a go!
