Thursday, 5.24.12

Pre-Warm Up: 1 mile run with Carter

Warm Up: 1100m Row, 3 rounds of: 8 sit ups, 8 push ups, 5 back squats (45lb bar), 10 overhead walking lunges (25lb plate)

Strength: Back Squat: 3x5 @ 85% 1RM

65x3, 95x3, 135x3, 175x3, 165x5, 165x5, 165x5

My 85% of 205 should have been 175, but I could only do 3 reps at that weight today. My legs felt like they could take the weight, but I felt like I would have had to tighten my core too much to where I would have pulled something, so I dropped the weight. My squats (front, back, and overhead) are definintly being affected by this pregnancy because I can't use my core like normal.

Conditioning: For Time:
- 150 Push Ups

done in about 15ish minutes

I actually did this at 8:00am before I came to the gym. I had somewhere to be so I knew I wouldnt have time to finish the workout at class. I had to break up the sets into 3,4, and 5. It's amazing how bad I am at pushups, but maybe its because of the 18lbs I have gained. I did make sure to touch my chest to the floor at every rep. I don't feel like I have done a pushups unless my chest hits the floor, which amazingly it still can even with the belly! (I just have to tilt forward slightly).
