Tuesday Workout: CrossFit Total

CrossFit Total

The CrossFit Total is the sum of the best of three attempts at the squat, the press, and the deadlift… There is no time limit for each lift or for the length of the session in which they are all performed, but they must all be performed during one session—i.e., you cannot leave the area to rest or perform other activities between the three lifts.

The first attempt would be a weight you know you can do for a heavy set of three. The second attempt would be a weight you know without any doubt that you could do for a single, having just done the first attempt. And the third attempt is the weight you want to do, based on your performance on the previous two attempts.

Make sure you have an hour to get through everything. We won’t start anyone after 6:15PM on Tuesday.

UPDATE: Scoreboard!

  4. squat-177

  5. the press is an isolated shoulder press, no hips allowed correct?

    1. Chris, correct. The bar is racked in the starting position with the elbows under or slightly ahead of the bar. The bar path moves as close to a straight line as possible with your head moving out of the way of the bar and the finish is fully locked out shoulders with the head coming through the arms at the top.

  6. S: 243
    P: 143
    DL: 392 <——-UGLY!!
    Total: 778 I added wrong on the board.

    Really need to focus on a DL progression where I don't work anything really really heavy and focus on keeping my back locked.

    1. watch this vid (#4)…think we should work on this:

      tate goes over the dimel deadlift…looks like a neat technique to build up that explosive strength so it doesn’t look like we are dying on the way up.
