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:
