A Queer Trans Strength Powerlifting Event and Fundraiser!
Hosted by barbell and strength-training collective QueerTransStrengthNYC at CrossFit South Brooklyn, Strength and Pride offers a platform for amateur queer and trans athletes to show off their gains in the three powerlifting events: back squat, bench press and deadlift! This event is a pride celebration and strength exhibition, to raise funds for a good cause! There will be no age/gender/weight categories. Note: This event is for queer and Trans lifters or lifters in the LQBTQ+ community. We encourage allies to the community to attend and cheer on these folks or volunteer to support the event!
