Full body

I had another go at the CrossFit Total today, but didn't do as well as I expected. I don't think it's anything to panic about; I just felt a bit stiff during the routine, which might be because I didn't warm up enough.

My previous max weights are in brackets.

"CrossFit Total"

Back squat - 1 rep max:
215 x 1, 230 x 0, 225 x 1 (225)

Shoulder press - 1 rep max:
85 x 1, 90 x 0, 90 x 0 (90)

Deadlift - 1 rep max:
295 x 1, 315 x 1, 330 x 0 (275)

Total: 225 + 85 + 315 = 625 (225 + 90 + 275 = 590)

So that's a 35lb increase, but it all came from the deadlift. My back squat was the same as last time, and my press dropped by 5lb. I'm a little pissed about that, but like I said, I don't think I warmed up enough. Also, last time I had 5 attempts at each 1RM, whereas today I stuck with the RXed 3 sets. 

Yesterday I watched a video of a woman athlete doing this routine and at the beginning she said she was going to go for larger increases in weight after each successful set, as she sometimes takes small steps. That worked for her, so I did the same strategy with the deadlifts, but without any success. I jumped from my 1RM - 315lb - to 330lb and could barely move the weight (it felt like I got it to an inch from the ground). Even though that was my third and last attempt, I took off 10lb to see if I could get a new PR of 320lb, an increase of only 5lb. That got a bit higher, but still nowhere near a completed rep.
