In case you missed it last night, MADLAB begins THIS THURSDAY! SUBMIT YOUR FITNESS RATING!
This morning was a sad day. We said goodbye to Kathryn and Dean who are moving away to Hamilton where life is apparently more affordable. Hopefully they’ll realize that it’s freezing cold and miserable in Ontario and will hussle back to us.
Good luck with the next chapter of your life, Kathryn and Dean. You will be missed at CrossFit Vancouver.
Kathryn, Nat and Nicola in the early am.
In case you missed it last night, MADLAB BEGINS THIS THURSDAY!!
This year’s MADLAB is revolutionary as we’re pitting the morning crew against the evening crew.
All you have to do is show up this Thursday (7 am for the morning Madlab and 6 pm for the evening Madlab) WITH YOUR FITNESS RATING SCORE, bring $20 cash, and we’ll put you on a team. You will compete with that same team for the next four weeks.
What is your fitness rating, you ask??
Fill out your scores in this FITNESS RATING SPREADSHEET. HPC Fitness Score LOCKED
Knowing your fitness ratings (or at least approximate fitness rating scores if you haven’t completed all the workouts on the spreadsheet) will help us select well-balanced teams
After the four weeks are over, we’ll tally the scores and the TOP team from the morning and the evening will face off against each other in a winner takes all CrossFit competition on Saturday, December 1st with the Madlab Banner on the line.
Even if you’re not participating on December 1st, mark that date on your calendar and whether you’re a morning or an evening athlete, come out and cheer on ‘your’ team.
DO IT!!!!
Tuesday:
Tech:
5 heavy sets of:
3 Front Squats immediately followed by 3 Push Jerks
WOD:
PART A
30 Front Squat (205/125 lbs) – Scale accordingly.
Every time you drop the bar, do 2 rope climbs as a punishment
Ends with 2 rope climbs (so even if you’re a superhero and do all 30 205 lb. front squats in a row, you must end the WOD with 2 rope climbs)
REST 5 MINUTES
PART B
30 Shoulders to overhead (155/105)
Every time you drop the bar, do 20 sit-ups
Again, end this WOD with the sit-ups!
** Time is total elapsed time minus the 5 minutes rest

What is the base-line for a MadLab fitness score?
Or at least a ballpark???
I believe it used to be called the ‘Blewett Line”

Minimum requirement is to be able to do most of the standardized wod’s that do not include Handstand pushups and muscleup as RX’d
I think we call it the Carl stewart Standard…….or The Conrad Rusnak Line
Carl………what is your fitness score….fill this out best you can with your all time greats.
