So this ideal equilibrium (and level since it is not only a matter of harmony but also one of raw ability) may mean that relative to the highest recorded performance in each attribute, we are:

-at 70% of strength
-at 90% of power
-at 60% of endurance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These must be cross-fit numbers as I have never seen them nor do I really understand them.

I'm not sure those numbers are meant to be exact quantifiable results. I interpet it to mean that Cross Fit alone will produce very good results in all aspects of fitness; speed, strength, power, endurance etc. This would provide a base level of fitness at least as good as many other athletes. If these results are not sufficient for your level of competition you would the want to add sport specific exercises as needed. No one program can be all things to all people. As I understand it, Cross Fit's goal is to improve the participant's level of fitness in all areas.
