TOTALS!

AWESOME! Never done this before and I've been wanting to.

Here's what Sea Monster says about it:

The CrossFit Total is the sum of the best 3 attempts of the Back Squat, Front Press and Deadlift, the three most effective lifts in existence for developing and testing functional strength.Anyone in a position to attempt a legitimate CrossFit Total should be familiar enough with their capabilities on the lifts to have a fairly good idea of just what might be possible for a one rep max (1RM).

Warm up:
uuummm....I didn't warm up much today. I just ran two laps.

WOD:
Back Squat , 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep (I couldn't do this today because my shoulders are messed up from tendonitis)
Deadlift, 1 rep

Breakdown:
One note: Today Ox lifted freakin 400 POUNDS!!! KILLER!
Back to me:
Back squat - 125#
Deadlift - 200 POUNDS! YEEEAAAA!!!!!
Shoulder Press (from a few days ago) - 65#

Total: 390 (next time I need to add it up on the spot so I can tack on that last 10 pounds if necessary)

Divide that by body weight: 144 (from two days ago at the dr.'s office) which means that I can push/lift/whatever 2.71 pounds for every one of my pounds. I have no idea if this is good or if this means anything. But it sounds cool and mathematical.
