CrossFit Total

Yesterday we
headed to our local CrossFit affiliate for what is
called the CrossFit Total workout. The workout
consists of working your way up to max reps in three
lifts: squat, press and deadlift. This is intended to
be a benchmark for overall strength. I’ve only been
barbell lifting since the end of August, but my
numbers landed firmly in the Intermediate range, I
think in part because of all the kettlebell lifting
I’ve done previously.
My squat max was 265 (probably should have tried for 270, but 275 wouldn’t go up). My max strict press was 130 (tying with my brother, Ryan) and my max deadlift was 315. So my CrossFit Total score was 710 (the three lifts added together). There are a lot of strong guys in my class, so I have a lot of work to do if I want to keep up!
Here are some photos from the workout:
