Regret is....

...the feeling you get halfway through a WOD that sucks as much as the one today. You can replace the word regret with pain, remorse, anguish, defeat, overwhelming or sexy.

Deadlift:
1x5 225
1x3 265
1x3 285
1x3 315
1x3 330

15 minutes after

AMRAP 20
25 Bastards over unloaded barbell
15 Bodyweight barbell squats, 190lb

4 rounds + 15 bastards

Hole-y Swiss cheese Batman, this was rough.
The deadlifts were a nice warm up but they always end up wearing me out more then I plan. I don't necessarily feel beat after a deadlift workout, but whenever I do a met-con following, I seem to get fatigued faster. I did lighter sets today hoping to avoid this trend. On Tuesday, when envisioning this WOD, I thought I would be able to get 5 rounds plus some bastards. I certainly underestimated the energy that the squats would require. They absolutely took everything I had. The words I listed in the beginning of this post were going through my mind as the sweat dripped off my forehead during every squat attempt. It was the word "sexy" that kept me going. I knew that once I was finished, I would feel sexy as hell. A pro from this WOD was the improvement I noticed in my low-bar back squat. Since I was forced to will most of the squats, the bar tended to shift to on my back, I stuck with a lower position across my shoulders, this increased my efficiency. Regardless, there is no way I could get sloppy on squats. During most met-con's your form breaks down and you are able to complete reps by just muscling the weight or completing reps with bad rhythm. With 190lb squats, for me at least, I could not get sloppy. Every rep from 1 to 60 was strict, below parallel and agonizing, this is the main reason that my legs are now jello and my body is sore, especially my trunk. This WOD kicked my ass and I am glad its over. I feel like I have grown as a Crossfitter after enduring it.
