Previous: 75-50-107 - 232 reps on May 23, 2011

It is a variation of the “CrossFit Total”. The “CrossFit Total” focuses on a 1 rep max effort on each movement. The variation which is named the “CrossFit Total Devastation” focuses on max amount of reps in 10 minutes with a 5 minute rest in between efforts. This variation will turn a Strength Movement into a Met Con. If you desire to work more on Strength than Met Con just increase the load which in turn will shorten the reps.
