My Favorite WOD

I think I saw Rick post something about asking people what their favorite workout has been. This brings up a great question. Most peoples favorite workout is probably the hardest one they have ever done. Something that really puts you on your ass, and reminds you that your fitness could be better. I love those! I feel when I get done with a workout and it makes me question what they hell I have been doing the past few months. Especially when I have been busting my butt to get back into shape. Those are the kind of workouts that always stick with me and remind me no matter how hard I work there are going to be workouts that will always get me motivated again.

My favorite workout- meaning the workout that kills me!

2009 Regional workout #1
300# DL x 10
400m run
3 rounds

I have done this twice, obviously once in Denver and once here at CFO.

This combines two of my weaknesses. 1st running (always) 2nd heavy and little higher reps. My back always gets tight when I run (poor running mechanics) and with the combo of DL it doesn't help my cause. I remember vividly about the time I did this in Denver. The second round during the run my mind and body were telling me hey you know what would make you feel better is to fall over and lay on the ground. Of course I did not but man did I want to. This one broke me mentally and I have been hating it ever since.

The last time I did is was sometime in the summer here at CFO and the exact same thing happened, the run killed me and the DL felt really heavy! This is just not one of my workouts. Its one of my favorites because no matter where I am at in my training I know I can go to this one and test how I feel. I may only do it once a year but its a good marker for my fitness.

If you have read my previous posts, it seems like DL is something that I need to work on. Well people what is yours either post it on the blog or post it on here. Explain why its your favorite, is it because its fun, hard, or just challenging for you. Let us know share your thoughts.
