About

You are invited to test your one rep maxes in a rare, women’s only environment of badassery. Compete for awesome prizes and cheer on female feats of strength. This meet is open to all women; you do not need to be a member of Crossfit South Brooklyn to compete. We have space for 60 participants, so sign up soon!

All lifters will have three attempts to lift one maximal rep, in the following order, for:

1. Back Squat

2. Bench Press

3. Deadlift

The sum of the heaviest successful attempts will constitute each lifter’s Total. For each weight class, a first, second and third place will be awarded to the highest Totals.

Weight classes: 123lbs and under; 132lbs and under; 148lbs and under; 165lbs and under; Over 165lbs

Team Award: The team with the highest score will be awarded a special prize. A team’s score will be based on the combined placings in their weight classes of team members. Points are: 1st place = 10 pts; 2nd place = 8 pts; 3rd place = 6 pts. There is no limit to the number of lifters on a team. Teams (and their members) should be declared 48 hours in advance of the competition.

All ages are welcome.

Iron Maidens Stay Strong Scholarship

We are thrilled to partner with Grace Outreach, a Bronx based nonprofit that works with women to further their education and gain financial independence. Through competitors’ fundraising efforts, we will create the first annual Iron Maidens Stay Strong Scholarship to assist low-income women in paying for their college tuition.
