This weeks focus is to get our members tested on the CrossFit Total. This is a great indicator of general strength and power and consists of:
1-rep max on:
Back Squat
Shoulder Press
Deadlift
You take as many sets as needed to build up to a lift of the heaviest weight that you can safely and correctly perform for one repetition. You will end up with three weights for the three exercises. These are then added together for a total score - the CrossFit Total.
Its a good benchmark to do and one that will leave you knowing your abilities in these three important lifts. We will then re-test in a few months time and see the difference your training has made. Theres nothing like seeing how your totals leap up and knowing that all the hard work during training has been worth it!
We will make this the priority during classes this week. For those that have completed it during a subsequent class we will have an alternative WOD lined up for you.
Happy lifting!
