    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!

    Totally! I always thought I was working harder doing strength training in comparison to the body building boys:) Not so sure now :)

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

    I just improved on my PB of the wide lat pull down!

    From 33kg to 38kg and did 1 set of 15 reps! Yay!

    I've talked to my PT and we're doing a 1 rep max weights session on Monday! I shall be back then with my new weights :bigsmile:

    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.

    Well, my numbers are relatively small compared to a lot of you, but I guess I'm a smaller person. Yesterday I hit a PR for squats...on the 4th set (to failure) I was able to squat 165lbs for 10 reps. I'm 119lbs, if that makes any difference :)

    Today was an extra workout to focus on some upper body weak points. I did weighted chin-ups ramping-up to a 5RM of 55lbs, not bad I thought.

    After 5 Months of CrossFit:

    2 RM:

    Clean: 95 -> 160
    Snatch: 65 -> 115
    Push Press: 95 - 145
    Squat: 185 -> 225 (This number is low because I go up very slowly due to hernia surgery in Feb)

    Still haven't done a bench press once :)

    My proudest accomplishment was making the 1000 lb club in high school

    Bench - 310
    Power Clean - 250 (weak lol)
    Squat - 510

    However I was about 300 lbs at the time, so I feel like that was somewhat of a factor. I haven't lifted in what feels like forever, but I'm hoping to get into a gym once I'm done with marathon training

    Weak?? Yeah, I don't have a 250lbs Power Clean or 510 Squat my friend. LOL. Nice!

    Compared to the rest of my lifts though, the clean was lagging a lot.

    Although I suppose it had a lot to do with not-so-great form...

    I think the Clean and the Snatch are so dependent on form more than any other movement. One can be stronger than **** but bad form will cause low strength all the time. Personally I'd like to shoot for cleaning, from the hang, my body weight. I'm really close, about 10lbs off from 205.

    I'll vote on this 100%. I've been going for years on bad form every time I tried lifting anything. Dying out at 300 lb raw squat, 185 lb bench, and don't even mention deadlift. Then I actually found people willing to help me correct foot position here, timing there. In two months I've added 200 lbs to squat, 45 to bench (although that's only been with one week of work), put the deadlift to shame, and still gaining!

    Today wasn't bad, hit a 335 Box Squat for a single. My head wasn't really into it today for a few reasons, one being it took me forever to get the moveable bench from some jag's that were bull****ting too much while hogging it; I was a little pissed by the time I finally got it. I start a new gym soon and shouldn't have this problem much longer. I'm going to swap the Back Squat with the Box Squat on DE days to work on that.
