I'm not talking about what has worked more for you, as in training/dieting. I'm talking about a workout that has been a killer for you. Made you puke, want to cry, made you sore during/after/nextday. What did that training session consist of? Gym weights only.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
What has been your hardest workout?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
One time when I was lifting with my buddies on a leg day we did the following and I never want to do it again,my legs collapsed several times the following days and they were sore a hour after I left the gym. There was 3 of us so we would work as a team for every work out;
-Hack squats,1 person lifting,1 person on each side ready to pull a plate as needed. They loaded up 4 plates on each side,I would do that as many times as I could then say 'plate' and they removed one plate from each side then I continued until I couldn't do 3 plates and then I said 'plate' and would do as many as I could with 2 plates on each side. Try that for 4 sets.
-Leg presses,same thing,1 person on each side,we loaded up 6 plates on each side and worked out way down to 3 plates. Again for 4 sets.
-Dumbbell deadlifts,this was easy,it kind of like an intermission. Again 4 sets.
-Modified Dumbbells Squats,really hard to explain so I will skip this,but put it this way,until this day my legs still give after every set of these. 5 sets.
-Leg Curls,don't laugh these things are hell after a HARD a55 work out. 3 sets.
I remember it perfectly cause my lifting buddies were laughing cause my leg gave out when I went to go upstairs for a drink of water and I was in sooo sore for the next week. Normally we wouldn't go balls to the walls like that but my buddy is prepping for his contest and he feels his legs are behind so he's pushing it.

Pretty much all cardio before I quit smoking. My lungs would burn and my head would spin after just 5 minutes high intensity.
Second to that would be a night loading job I did. 4 hours per night lifting and throwing around 30-60lbs cement sacks and 100lbs+ flat packed furniture, and carrying them up and down ladders. I even did it with the flu and one night I did it with a migraine. I used to get cut up and banged pretty bad too. That job gave me some of the most intense all round workouts I've done and really made a man out of me!
As far as gym exercises go, I'd say squats are the hardest by far.

grappling conditioning and 20-rep squats.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Leg day (the only day that has ever made me puke)
20 rep x 4 sets of leg presses with 5, 6, 7 and 8 plates on each side followed by 4 sets of lunges of 80,90,100,110 pounds x 12 reps each set followed by the bastard for 3 sets (glute press) followed by leg extensions, leg curls x 15 reps for 3 sets followed by calf raises followed by romanian dumbell deadlifts for 4 sets.

I don't remember what I lifted that day, but I remember one day I went to bed at like 3am and got up at 6 with only 3 hours of sleep, ate no breakfast...then lifted weights. Yeah I puked my guts out that morning.
stronglifts
Master Don Juan
Speed reps are pretty hard
14 doubles Front Squat or Power Cleans at 80% intensity in 14 mins.
And of couse max attempts squat/deadlift involving heavy grinding.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
rugby training no question. On top of lifting on a regular basis, especially legs, I had to do hitting drills. I guess I don't have a strong shoulder since I hurt it during hitting drills once. The whole experience got me in shape, but was the hardest workout, when coupled with a good gym routine. It defiantly goes to show it takes alot of self discipline to get in that good of shape by ones self.

Well one day i woke up and i was thinking about going to the gym. so i popped one of my vitamin pills before i was gonna go but i did it on an empty stomach and just hacked it up. and another time i went to my maximum cardiovascular output on a training bike, which was something like 200bpm ending at 15 minutes. that one ended bad.
