This chart tells you at about what level you are according to total bodyweight. Most novice athletes are encouraged to set training goals. Initially, as you begin your journey through Crossfit we ask that you set reasonable goals with an eye toward constant improvement. For instance, I would suggest a deadlift goal for females of 1.5 x BW; for males: 2 x BW. Bodyweight is a mere measure and most handy for those just starting out. Once you hit those strength goals we can focus on tightening up technique and setting new goals.
(NOTE: These numbers are your Crossfit TOTAL: Back Squat, Shoulder Press, Deadlift added together.)
Great job everyone! SP 145# (pr) BS 165# DL 375# = 785#
Ahhh. Had I of gotten just 15 more little pounds on backsquat, I would be elite, haha.
Shoulder press- 95# (PR :))
Back squat- 215 (after many failed attempts)
Deadlift- 320 (it was ugly)
CrossFit total: 630
This is the right blog for anyone who wants to find out about this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
How many reps is it? I can’t remember if it’s a 3 rep max or just 1 rep max?
@JimFTCF, I think you mean 685 but a year later it may very well be 785!!
