Crossfit Total - It’s all the wrong way round!
I did a Crossfit Total today, that’s 3 single lifts each of:
- Back Squat
- Shoulder (Military) Press
- Deadlift
Then you add up the weight of the best lift you did in each.
However for some reason, I managed to do an odd thing today: I lifted more on the Back Squat, than I did on the Deadlift! In kilograms my lifts were:
- Back Squat: 140 - 150(Fail) - 145(=Personal Best)
- Shoulder Press: 50 - 52.5 - 55(PB)
- Deadlift: 140 - 150(F) - 150(F)
In pounds my lifts were:
- Back Squat: 308 - 330(Fail) - 319(=Personal Best)
- Shoulder Press: 110 - 115.5 - 121(PB)
- Deadlift: 308 - 330(F) - 330(F)
Giving me a Crossfit Total of 340 kg or 748 lbs. That’s a respectable days lifting I think, but backsquatting more than the deadlift, what’s all that about? My deadlift PB is 160 kg (352 lbs) and I got nowhere near it today.
Just tired I guess?
