Crossfit Total – The Results

Earlier this week Abby suggested that we try Crossfit Total, a workout designed to get your one rep max for three major lifts. After completing the three lifts you add the weight total for all combined and based on a table of measurements, determine what level athlete you are.

Josh, Mara, Abby, Graham and Micah did the workout today (we miss you Andrew!) and here are the results — (others please add your ranking below)

Great Graham

Mara the Muscle

Bulk Vanderhuge

- Based on the chart, I am a Novice weight lifter. But I say, “F the chart” cause I did my first muscleup today! Suck on that Crossfit Total! — MICAH

-My score was 390.  I guess it’s ok, I mean I’m in between Intermediate and Advanced, but I was pretty upset I couldn’t pull heavier weight.  It was a great exercise though because now I have an idea what I want some of my goals to be. ==Abby

Crossfit Total

So my super awesome friend, Thera, works out at Crossfit Coastal and just did the Crossfit Total, check out CF FAQ, the other day to find out her fitness status.  What is Crossfit Total?  Well, it’s a ranking system based on your 1 rep mas weight for back squat (1 rep), shoulder press (1 rep), and deadlift (1 rep).  When you’re done throwing massive weight, you add the total poundage and that’s your score.

Thera got 505#
165# Back Squat (PR)
85# Shoulder Press
255# DeadLift (PR)

Which makes her an elite athlete, which in turn makes her a beast.

This ranking system has me pumped to figure out where the members of FAHBG stand on this Crossfit strength scale.  Who’s with me??
