Nasty Girls

I had a little encounter with a workout called Nasty Girls this morning. I think at some point I saw a video of this, pretty sure it was Eva T and several others. Anyway, I was in the mood for some type of 'clean' movement, and found the Nasty Girl WOD in my archive. Here's the original, some mods made below...

3 rounds for time:
50 squats
7 muscle ups
10 hang power clean, 135lbs

I don't have rings, and if I did, it's unlikely I could do a muscle up, so I typically do the 3/1 conversion using pullups and dips. Today I just did the 7 pullups and x3 on the dips, and I added 20lbs to the clean:

3 rounds for time:
50 squats
7 pullups
21 dips
10 hang power clean, 155lbs

Things started off well enough, then got to the cleans. They went OK, but I could tell it was going to be a grip blaster, which normally I say, GAME ON SUCKAS!! I got through to the tail end of the cleans on round 2 when things got dicey. After about 5 reps, I needed to add a second or two in between reps which put even more strain on my grip as I was holding it longer. I got through 9 reps and my forearms were on FIRE! I kind of hunched over and attempted to rest the bar as much as possible on the top of my quad before pulling the last clean. I straightened up and hit it....and...my hands went up in the air MINUS the bar!!! Bwahahaha, grip FAIL. The bar dropped from slightly above my waist. No one was around (train at a globo, no bumper plates). I got through the final round, but had to break up the last set of clean (boooo).

Time was 12:13:05.

Ack.
