We want to lift 1,000,000 pounds to fight breast cancer! There will be a collective of nine designated lifters who will get pledges for the total amount of weight(volume e.g. 200lbs lifted 10 times is 2,000lbs). The tenth lifter will be called a guest, these people pay $20 to participate and add to out total volume. We would be using the 3 core lifts squat, bench and deadlift. Thank you once again and hope to hear from you soon.
The event will also include challenges, games, giveaways, music and fun for all ages!
Rules and How it Works!
• There will be a minimum of nine participants (ranging from football players, gymnast,, soccer moms and bodybuilders. etc.) Each key participant will get a minimum of 10 pledges/sponsors.
• They will have to account for a minimum of 100,000male/50,000female pounds each for key participants.
• For the non-key participants who donate for participation they just have to pay a $20 fee that will be used for donations.
• The tenth (guest) lifter will be a collective of people who want to contribute to the total volume. They will receive 10 sets.
• The amount of weight is broken down by each exercise number of reps and weights i.e. Bench Press 5x10 at 200lbs equals 10,000lbs lifted. (athlete will choose 3 specific lifts i.e. Bench Press, Squat, Deadlift)
• Pledges will pay for every 10,000lbs lifted.
• So if someone pledges 5 dollars and the a participants lifts 100,000 lbs then the pledge pays $50.
