PR's for PRIDE

PR stands for "personal record". In the world of strength training, it's a goal of many folks to see how much weight they can lift for 1 repetition.

The Queer Care Fund is a project of the Reproductive Freedom Fund of New Hampshire and 603 Equality that donates its funds to help support health care for our LGBTQIA+ community.

That's ok - our event is beginner friendly! We will walk each participant through the process, no matter what their experience level is. We will also send out a "what to expect" email to all participants prior to event day.

No! Our highly qualified coaches would be happy to introduce you to how fun deadlifting can be at our event.

Yes! With proper instruction and good form, deadlifting is completely safe. *We recommend all folks check with their doctor before starting an exercise program.

An "opener" is the 1st weight you wish to attempt for 1 repetition for a barbell deadlift. Each participant will get 3 attempts to lift as much weight as they'd like. We will ask you what your opener is so that we can organize the participants, but this can be changed, even on event day.

No! This event is open to all ages. *If a minor wishes to participate in the deadlift event, their parents/guardian will need to sign a waiver of liability and be in attendance for their participation.
