Take a read here to get a better understanding of what the CFT is all about.

There is a difference between doing the Crossfit Total as a WOD and exploring your limits and doing it in a competition.  Today we are doing it as a WOD.  The number one rule today is “Don’t be pig headed!“  You need to be well tomorrow to workout again. If you are not familiar enough with the lifts, then do NOT attempt a 1 rep max today.  Focus on building consistency with correct form.  Do 3-5 sets of 5 at a lighter weight.

If you are doing CFT today, for each movement, warm-up at a light weight or better yet, a couple light weights before lifting anything heavy.  Then take three attempts to achieve your max lift.  There is definitely some thought that will have to go into this WOD to get your best score.
