I tend to do well with short and heavy, power and strength oriented workouts.
But I'm very humble to say my weaknesses certainly outnumber my strengths.
It keeps me grounded as I strive hard to continually improve to find my best.

Making it to class.
Once that happens, I'd probably say most bodyweight movements (pull up, push up,squat), and met-cons between 6 and 12 minutes long.
It's easier to talk about weakness. I have a ton of those...
I hope, in a year or two, I can say that stength IS my strength.
My strengths are definitely anything bodyweight which is why I love Cindy and Angie (although my time isn't great)! But anytime they get thrown into a strength oriented metcon my bodyweight movements go to sh*t! Basically I just gotta get stronger and keep working on my weaknesses!
Low heavy reps... and fast... but anything longer than 12 minutes just kills me. Also ROWING... or anything else that honestly just involves one motion and continuous pain. YICK.
Strengths... um, none?
Weaknesses - everything.
Seriously though, there are no strengths in the gym, only likes and dislikes for me.
Finishing a workout when I would rather not, regardless of time or placement in the class.
Strengths: Rowing, Burpees, Knees to Elbows, running, KB swings. You know, the easier, non-technical movements.
Weaknesses: HSPUs, WallBalls, Anything heavy, Muscle-ups, overhead squats, all Oly lifts, any workout over 10 minutes, etc.
This is why I keep coming back. Eventually I'll be "good" at my weaknesses and better at my strengths.
WOD time today, 11:18. . .pullups man. . . .I WILL GET BETTER. . . .in addition to of course after the fact, I look back and just know I could have been mentally tougher on the PCs. Could have been closer to 10:00.
Strengths in the gym.....
Not really a 'strength' but something I'm decent at is Bodyweight (met-con) movements with a HUGE exception to Push-Ups, which make me angry.
Lots of weaknesses BUT I love the X!
Denise - that is DEFINITELY a strength because it is definitely MY WEAKNESS! :)
I don't really think of myself as having "strengths" in the gym. I'm just about where I should be based on the training I've done. So my squat is strong relative to someone who hasn't trained their squat as much, but it's weak relative to someone who has trained it more or who has better levers for the movement. I guess I could say that following a training program is one of my strengths. Eating is my weakness. Also kipping.
Haha ok, Erin. I'll take some of your strength and you have some of my metcon and we are GOLDEN!!! :)
Btw, I did the PC/Pull-Up 10,9,8....1 today and it was terrible (in a good/sick kind of way). The rx'd weight was 95lbs, wasn't it??
It was 105 Denise.
Cruel, cruel realization...
Oh shit!!! Really??? That thing kicked my ass!! Ok, I'll give it another shot in good time!! Not for a while though, ha. Thanks, Justin :) (on the inside it would be a :( Lol.
