Sufferfest recommendations?

Decided I’m gonna spring for a few of these to help cope with the bad winter.
Any recommendations?

Thanks!

They’re actually all really good… and wait for each ending, it’s worth it… Each has a different purpose (eg time trial, max power, climbing etc)… and they are different lengths of workout. Have a look on the website and they have a comparison list.

Or they do a package deal on the whole lot.

Wife and I both use them on the indoor bike, highly recommended…

Goto the Lavender Room and try to work through all the political threads…

I have the videos and just started using them. There was a thread a while back where ‘everyone’ rated them, I would search.

I like:
Downward Spiral, Local Hero

depends on what you want. i love fight club the most. then angels. then local hero. then the hunted. a dark place is burned but i haven’t done it yet. downward spiral is good. don’t really like revolver.
i think the music is better on angels and fight club. i think as you get to the newer videos, they really are put together better.

I have Angels and Revolver. I find Revolver makes me hurt more. x15 one minute intervals
Angels is fun but it is really difficult to simulate a good climb on a trainer.
I am debating my next one, leaning towards Fight Club.

I did my first ever Sufferfest ride last night. - Fight Club. I’m sold and will be getting more.

I have fight club and a very dark place. I like both, but I just did a very dark place this weekend and it kicked my ass, so I will recommend that. It is set up as a series of 4:00 intervals at TT pace or higher (IOW, from unpleasant to unbearable). The video segments themselves were great, the music is great, and the intermittent commentary is on point and hilarious.

I have fight club and it will make you hurt. Will be giving other videos a try this season.

I wish they have better footage especially in the “attack” actions. The guy look like he is taking a break when you should be in attack mode.
I usually watch them on my iPad on mute and just follow the workout with tour de france or IM Kona on TV and listening to my own music on my iPod.

I’d get the package deal if I had to do it again.

All are good and you get out what you put in. I like them better that Spinervals or Chris Carmichael. Music is pretty good as well

I like to do fight club and treat the whole TT/world champ section as one big TT

fabian is good motivation for the final bit

Agreed, Fight Club is motivating the whole time and race Fabian at the end tops it off perfectly. And you are completely crushed after it, great video

I enjoy Local Hero

I like Downward spiral and Angels a lot and am doing a phase doing each of those 2* a week. I’m not a big fan of Revolver or fight club. Hunted and Local Hero are ok for certain parts of the preseason, once my fitness is back up after my lazy period. I haven’t tried a very dark place yet.
