Firebreather Announcement: CrossFit Total Update
We have long held that the Firebreather standard in our gym for the CrossFit Total (best effort on your squat, press and deadlift) should be above 350% of your bodyweight. This concept was derived from the fact that weightlifting competitions have weight classes and thus we created the standard to level the playing field for the heavy and light athletes amongst us. The trouble with this concept is that we are a CrossFit gym and bestow CrossFit values and fitness definitions on our members. So, with that, we have decided to change the CrossFit Total standard for our Firebreather benchmark and kick off this new standard by completing it this coming Saturday for our 9 & 11am classes.
Pink Bra Tour
The Barbells for Boobs team have been throwing Amazing Grace events for 3 years now. Last year they embarked in a cross country tour, stopping at CrossFit gyms all over the map to promote their message of breast cancer awareness. This year CrossFit Costa Mesa is honored to be picked as the official tour stop in Orange County. We’re kicking the tour off at our gym and we need your support!
