    I just wear my old fat jeans and they fit nice and snug on the thighs again haha.

    It is clear that the majority of the population does not squat/deadlift though. Sad times!

    Also, 135kgx9x3 & 135kgx11 (PB) last night squatting.

    I did squats last night, because of the pregnancy and not going too heavy I did more reps instead. I did 5 x 15 @40kgs. It was actually really hard. I have always strength trained (max 5 reps), so this was something new. I can tell my legs are going to be way more sore than after a single max lift day, bizarre!

    Do you think it's harder b/c of the high reps or is the baby making it more difficult?

    Hmmmm probably both, I am in the exhaustion stage of early pregnancy so everything seems harder at the moment. But I do thing more reps gives worse DOMS than 5/3/1 for example.

    It's just a shock to the system. If you normally do 20reps and then do 3reps you could get some crazy DOMS or if you normally do 3reps but then do 20 you could. That is how it has always worked for me anyway. (assuming same exercise)

    Squatted 142.5kgx11 @82.5kg (181lbs) BW today after doing 142.5kgx7(x4 sets) prior. SOOOO happy with that. (314lbs)

    Yesterday I had a PR. I performed a weighted glute bridge with 50 lbs. on my hips. Not bad considering a couple of months ago, I was only doing them with bodyweight.
