"They emphasize as some of their main tenets full body coordination but do not test it in their weight lifting total?"
The dead lift is a full body movement. It is expected to be easily the largest single component of anyone's total.

Okay. Good so they got one right. Back to the military press. Why would you eschew one of your tenets when doing a benchmark that should be representative of your training?
Its like a powerlifter bragging about his reverse hyper numbers (barring Westside degens) instead of focusing on his DL/Squat numbers. It seems to be a piece of a whole instead of the entire thing.
My main problem with Crossfit is 1) the absurdity of some of their stances 2) their exclusion of other methods of thought 3) their lack of consistency within their own dogma.
