Strength, Slogs and Sprints

There are the ten physical skills… but it’s so hard to remember them all.  Let’s simplify and try and describe all WODs as either strength based, a slog or a sprint.

A strength based WOD is easy to spot.  Low reps, high weight.  Think 3,3,3 dead lifts or 1,1,1,1,1 back squats.  The slog – also easy to spot.  Lots of rounds and lots of reps.  Think Filthy Fifty or Mr. Joshua.  And finally, the sprint – easy to spot.  Lighter weights, between one and three movements.  Think Fran or 500 meters for time. 

Alright.  So they’re all easy to spot.  Now come two tough questions: which one are you good at?  Which one are you crummy at?  And then the tougher question: what are you doing to overcome your weakness?  Surely the brave will post the answers to these questions in the comments.
