The CrossFit Total is the sum of the best of three attempts at each of the following movements:
-Back Squat
-Shoulder Press
-Deadlift
Read the blog post from the last time we did this. Seriously, read it.
The new normal. From a triathlon/marathon background, I thought I was strong on endurance until I could not last through the 7 min initial assessment workout. In my first month at CFMC I went from 3 legit pullups to 99 in a recent WOD! And I went from not being able to get into an overhead squat position to actually getting weight on the bar. Someone observed that I was ‘All Show, No Go’ and doing CFMC is helping to turn that observation around, one pullup at a time! Other workouts just don’t have the camaraderie, intensity, or results as this weird mix of exercise called CrossFit. Welcome to the new normal. — Quang N.
