ENDURANCE WOD

Choose ONE Of The Following Sports:

10 meters on then min. every minute add 10 meters. This can be done 2 ways. 1) either measured on a watch/computer (i.e., Garmin, Polar, bike computer, compu trainer or pool markers) and stopping each successive 10 meters by moving forward. This is the way that it should be done for cycling or swimming. Or 2) set up 2 cones 10 meters a part, and add one return trip each minute on the minute... Either way, you are to add 10 meters each round until you can no longer continue.

CrossFit Total (CFT)

This WOD is a way of determining your 1 Rep Max for the 3 Central Lifts of Squat,Press and Pull (Deadlift).
This total will give you a reference point to compare future WOs and a method of caluating approx loads for other strength based protocols used in the WODs[eg: 5x5,7x3]
Ideally you should have some approx loads in your mind for 5 Rep Max, 3 Rep Max and 1 Rep Max.

How do I go about it?

Warm Up

Aproach the first lift by doing 15 to 20 reps at a light weight paying attention to form.[eg:empty bar]
Rest
Perform 5 reps at a greater load but below your 5 rep max.
Rest
Perform 3 reps at a greater loads but below your 3rep max
Rest
Perform a Heavy single at approx 3 Rep Max
You are ready.

You have 3 attempts to achieve the best 1 Rep Max you can perform.
Rest >3mins between attempts

Gee yourself the F up,or get your partner to charge you up!!(feel free to be creative in this process and send all photos or vids to CrossFitSydney)

First Attempt Your 3 Rep Max or slightly above[Use the result [Fail or Clean lift] to determine whether to attempt more or less load. ]-Rest
Second Attempt Your 2 Rep Max or slightly above[Use the result [Fail or Clean lift] to determine whether to attempt more or less load.] -Rest
Third Attempt
Load what you believe to be your Maximal Effort,attempt the Lift.Your performance in the previous two lifts should guide your load.

Continue the Process for the next Lift.

Some Precautions From Coach M Rippetoe

Don't be a F ing Idiot
Don't CFT if you are injured to the extent that a CFT will aggravate the problem.

Don't Overreach
Be ambitious not greedy.

Don't Cheat
This is a test,its designed to measure whats there,not create something that's not.
That's what training is for.
