Half-Psychic

Okay, so HQ is calling for a Total today (Friday).

"CrossFit Total"

Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep

Huzzah! Everybody loves the Total. However, a bunch of you turned in some very fine 1RM efforts on the back squat yesterday, so totalling today is out. Come in for a TBD metcon ass-whupping. You can make up the total next week. Everyone who didn't squat yesterday, get set for some heavy, heavy lifting.

Edit: Heh! The metcon turned out to be a smoker:

In 20 minutes, as many rounds as possible of

5 reverse burpee to a handstand push-up
10 55lbs kettlebell swings
20 double-unders

“Neanderthal displays of caveman bravado, such as excessive grunting, hissing and huffing when lifting weights, are also not appreciated and should be assiduously avoided,” it said.

Sounds good, but I am going to have to sit this one out as well. I am just getting over the flu (who the hell gets the flu in May?) but will be ready to go on Monday.
