Lucas Parker, from Victoria, BC, is one of the World's most elite Crossfitters. In 2012, Parker earned a 15th place finish at the Crossfit Games, which is an international competition that tests all aspects of human fitness. Only four men and women from Canada each year are invited to compete at the Crossfit Games. This year, 4255 athletes in Canada started the Crossfit season. Through the first round of qualifying, Parker placed in the top 40 in Western Canada to qualify for the Regional Championships. Only the top two finishers at the Regional Championships, Eastern and Western Canada, are sent to the Crossfit Games. The Western Regional Championships are being held in Vancouver, BC this weekend, Jun 7 - 9, 2013. Parker is now focused on winning this competition and stamping his third ticket to the Games.

Parker uses strength and power training to increase his capacity as a Crossfitter. While Parker has demonstrated many astonishing feats in the gym and competition, I recently caught him on video front squatting 405lbs at 180lb bodyweight.
