8 and 9 am CrossFit: Pride WOD!!!!!"Stonewall"
AMRAP 15 Minutes: 6 Squat Cleans 135 (Marsha) / 95 (Sylvia) 28 Double-Unders 6 Shoulder-to-Overheads 135 / 95 9 Burpees Today we’re running a workout called “Stonewall,” in honor of the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion. Stonewall was a weekend-long demonstration and riot at the end of June against police raids and harassment at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, which many mark as the birth of the modern LGBTQ rights movement. What is lesser known about the Stonewall Rebellion and the growth of the LGBTQ rights movement is that it was led by transgender women of color, Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson. Instead of the usual “male” and “female” Rx weights, these suggested loadings will be named after the late Sylvia and Marsha in honor of their contributions to the LGBTQ movement.
