Tactical Athlete Total
Three attempts each at:
Back Squat
Double KB Military Press (start in the rack position, hand must be below chin, press to lockout)
Deadlift
Weighted Pull
The CrossFit Total was created by mark Rippetoe. He compiled the three most effective lifts for developing functional strength into one contest. Now, all you have to do is add the weighted pull-up. Be sure to pull with your palms facing out and make sure the front of your neck (not your chin) touches the bar; otherwise it’s just a good try.
Caleb the son of Jephunneh is an excellent example of a warrior having strength in the later years of life.
“Now behold, the LORD has let me live… I am eighty-five years old today. I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me (i.e. 45 years earlier); as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in.” – Joshua 14:10-11
