OUTAthletics Pride Fundraiser!

Jun 2, 2022

In celebration of Pride Month, Solidarity is collaborating with OUTAthletics for a fundraising workout to support their OUTAthlete program on Saturday, June 11th at 10:30AM. The event is open to our entire CVille community with a suggested/voluntary donation directly to OUTAthletics here. The workout will be scalable for all fitness levels! The event kicks off at 10:30AM and we will run the workout in first come, first served heats.

OUTAthletics is the world’s largest initiative for bringing together LGBTQ+ athletes and allies to sweat for a cause in a safe & inclusive fitness environment. Their mission is to remove the barriers that block LGBTQ+ individuals’ access and participation in fitness, health, and wellness, ensuring their success. The OUTAthlete program provides a one year scholarship for LGBTQ+ youth at local gyms with a full spectrum of support services such as nutrition counseling.

Strength

Bench Press @ 32X0

  • x 8 x 4 sets

Notes

Today’s strength is bench press. You will complete 4 working sets of 6-8 reps. Each rep is performed with a :03 descent, :02 pause on the chest, and no pause at lockout. You can build throughout the 4 working sets, but all 4 working sets should be within 20% of your top load.

Aim for the top end of the rep range each set. If you can maintain the tempo for all 8 reps, add weight.

Conditioning

For time:

  • 10-8-6-4-2 Wall Walks
  • 20-16-12-8-4 Toes to Bar

12:00 time cap

Notes

Today’s workout is a simple couplet of wall walks and toes to bar. Your score is the time it takes to complete the prescribed reps or the number of reps completed under the 12-minute time cap.

If you cannot maintain a pace of 5 wall walks per minute throughout the workout, consider adjusting the rep scheme or lowering the target height.

The toes to bar should be completed in no more than 4 sets at any point in the workout. Adjust the rep scheme or substitute knee raises or sit ups.
