Halloween Throwdown
Although we are still holding off on large scale competitions open to the public, we will be moving forward with an Outliers only Halloween Throwdown on Saturday October 23rd. The competition will be focused around fun, community, and inclusivity. Some details:
- Teams of 2 (MM, MF, FF)
- Halloween costumes encouraged
- Lunch and hangout to follow
- Pricing and workout details will be announced in the next few days. For now, please note the following:
- 3 workouts
- One workout will be a clean complex, where teams will build to their own max weight (no jerks, or overhead).
- The most “complex” gymnastics movement that we will be doing is toes-to-rings (read: no muscle ups, HSPU, HS walks, TTB).
- No snatches or overhead squats.
- Scaling will be permitted if needed
This competition will also be a fundraising effort for the families of the sailors who died in the Navy helicopter crash on August 31st. Military families have always been important at Outlier, and we are taking this opportunity to support them via this fundraiser. Proceeds from the competition will be donated to the GoFundMe set up for the families:
