"CrossFit Total"

WOD:

CrossFit Total

This workout is set up similar to a powerlifting meet.  You have 3 attempts each to lift as much weight as possible for the following lifts:

Back Squat, 1 rep

Shoulder Press, 1 rep

Deadlift, 1 rep

So, knowing that you only have 3 attempts per exercise, choose your loads wisely.

You might want to open with a previous PR or the heaviest weight that you KNOW you can lift.  This is a security measure in case your next 2 don't happen.  For the second and third attempts, go for it.

And remember, your spine treats you well if you treat it well, so get a stabilization strategy in place before attempting max loads.

Have fun and go hard!

Post the total of your 3 highest lifts to comments. (i.e. 350 + 180 + 420 = 950)
