Monday, 4.2.12 (19 Weeks Preg.)

Warm Up: 2300m Row, 3 rounds of: 7 wall balls, 7 sit ups, 7 pull ups, 7 kettlebell swings

Strength: Front Squat 3-3-3-3-3

35x3, 65x3, 85x3, 115x3, 125x3, 135x3, 145x3, 155x3 (PR, I think)

Once I got to 115, it felt a little weird going down as low as I normally go for squats. To save Brad from reading all the "gross" details, I will get say it felt very heavy down "under" (like something, or lots of things, could possibly fall out...thats not too descriptive, right?) when the weight got heavier, so I had to not go down as far. I used a wall ball so that I made sure I stopped just below parallel and then came back up. Not sure if I like this kind of squatting because it didnt feel like I was doing much for my legs because the squat distance felt very short. I am too used to going all the way down, but I guess its going to have to be like this for a few months if I want to do more weight than 115!

Conditioning: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of:
- Push Press (115/75#)
- Burpees - touching a 1-foot mark above your max reach

Did the push presses easily, but the burpees took me some time to figure out. I did round 10, 9, and 8 pretty slow but by round 7 I figured out how to do the burpees faster. I would put my chest down first and roll slowly and controlled onto my stomach and then pushed myself up quickly so I was hardly putting any weight on the baby. After I figured that out, I did the last 7 rounds in about 4ish minutes. I am happy to say that I felt like I worked hard even with taking breaks to keep down my heart rate.
