“CrossFit Total”
Your goal for today’s workout is to find your one repetition max in 3 attempts at each lift.

Back Squat 1-1-1
Press 1-1-1
Deadlift 1-1-1

Below is an excerpt from the CrossFit Journal Article describing the ”CrossFit Total”:
”Anyone in a position to attempt a legitimate CrossFit Total should be familiar enough with their capabilities on the lifts to have a fairly good idea of just what might be possible for a one-rep max (1RM). This number is what you warm up intending to do. A meet situation will involve three attempts, and this is a good way to determine a true 1RM.
The first attempt would be a weight you know you can do for a heavy set of three. The second attempt would be a weight you know without any doubt that you could do for a single, having just done the first attempt. And the third attempt is the weight you want to do, based on your performance on the previous two attempts.”

–CrossFit Journal Article December 1, 2006

Link to full article 

Notes: Athletes will perform proper warm up set (3 sets x 3-5 reps) before making their 3 attempts at a 1-rep max. Each movement will have a 15-20:00 clock.
