All 4

While it wasn't my favorite WOD it was a good one. 

Nasty Girls

3 Rounds for Time

50 Squats
14 Jumping Pull Ups
14 Dips (using a box)
10 Hang Squat Cleans - 45lbs.

Time: 21:39

Just another reminder at how horrible I am with the squats.  I started out trying really hard not to lean forward.  That is so hard.  And the more the rounds went on the more tired I got.  I know I was very slow doing them but I was trying to focus on doing them correctly.  It seemed like the more I tried not to plop down on the box the more I did.  I don't even know what was up with all that. 

I do need to make myself jump higher when doing the jumping pull ups.  I did get a good laugh from the coach when he had me try using a band.  I couldn't pull myself up.  And I have to admit it was a tad bit scary being on the band with no support like a box.  What I didn't understand is everyone tells me I'm strong and have upper body strength so why couldn't I pull myself up?  Did I not try hard enough?  What did I do wrong? 

The box dips are okay. 

I really tried to concentrate on using my shoulder on the Hang Squat Cleans.  One of these days these lifts are going to click and I'm going to nail each and every one of them! 

All in all it was a good workout.  I hadn't seen this coach in about 2 weeks and as much as I hate to admit it I've missed him fussing at me and making me work and try harder and then still give it some more effort.  I like all the coaches.  Only thing that would make it better is having all 4 of them there at the same time.  They each have different things about their styles of coaching that I like and can get through to me at times.  I bet that would be an awesome WOD!
