Pre-Test Prep and Saturday’s WOD

May 1st, 2009, by

Just a reminder that Ultimate Test Lab will be at our facility from 8:00am - ?? tomorrow. Everyone is invited, but those who signed-up are being expected. Please show up with the understanding that testing will be conducted on a "first come, first served" basis. This doesn't mean that you should wait until noon to show up. If all tests are completed and nobody else is waiting, the lab will pack-up and go home.

With that being said, here are some guidelines to help you prepare for the tests:

RMR

  • Be as relaxed as possible
  • No exercising of any kind for up to 5 hours before testing
  • No eating for up to 3 hours before testing
  • No caffeine or stimulants for up to 4 hours prior to testing

VO2-Max

  • Come as if you were ready for a moderate to intense workout
  • No eating before testing
  • Wear running shoes with laces that won't come undone
  • Come well hydrated

Hydrostatic Body Composition

  • Any type of swimsuit may be worn
  • T-shirts are also acceptable

Please note, the RMR test must be completed before the VO2 test.

As for tomorrow's WOD, class will not be affected by the testing. A couple of people may miss class due to testing, but everyone else will enjoy Team Saturday as only CrossFit Fire member's can.

See everyone tomorrow!

  • Thanks for setting this up guys. It was good to get some sort of context for our training and also some hard numbers to prove how the programming really does work. Other than how sexy we all look, of course.
