I took it a bit easy today, even though I didn't feel tired at all. At 34 weeks, I'm a month from term (ie: ready to deliver), and feeling the baby so much that it really seems like a living thing in there. So I'm feeling a bit... cautious and protective. I'm not sure if I'll keep feeling this way or if it's just today, but I kind of think it's okay if it persists.
Row - 2000 m/10:27 min
Push-ups (full-length, suspended*) - 3, 2
Thrusters - 40 x 13, 11, 10
RDLs - 60 x 15, 15, 15
Press - 60 x 4
Row - 1000 m/5:25 min
* Feet on a step bench, hands on 10 lb dumbells. I lowered til my belly touched, and elbows bent further than 90 degrees. These were hard. I just wanted (again) to see if I could.
Another quirky pregnancy symptom: sweat. As in, my ability (or tendency) to do so recently increased yet another notch. That's probably all I need to say about that.
Weigh-in: 155. Back down, despite ongoing randomized swelling. Must've been the extra helping of chocolate pudding that Angela force-fed me last night. No wait, that's not how it works... ?

by the way, i checked out the strength standards for women. all the usual caveats apply but it seems you're an intermediate lifter for a 132 pound woman. of course you're not 132 pounds . . . i'm just saying. anyway, long story short, you're doing amazing.

Yay! At the end of the summer (ie: 10 weeks pregnant :-)), I did some max rep testing on the bench press, and I'm pretty sure I hit the intermediate range for that too. Considering I was doing 5 rep sets of 115 for squats, I probably could've hit the 127 required for a intermediate there... So this summer, I'm going to have to get moving on the DLs and cleans!
