Rope Jumps, SL Deadlift, Hang Cleans

3 rounds
20 rope jumps
20 SL Deadlift (75 pounds)
20 Hang Cleans (15 pound DBs)

Time: 18min 26 seconds

I completed the WOD after my push-ups training. On SL Deadlifts, I was having more burn in my triceps (holding up the bar) than I was in my hamstrings.

I took a 2 minute rest between round 7 and round 8.

Side note: Turns out my exhaustion was completely warranted these past few weeks. My blood tests on Friday revealed I am anemic. That explains a lot.

Pregnancy Status: 27 weeks, 4 days

Good Mornings, Lunges, Training: Push-ups

I accomplished another goal and didn't even realize it!

Lunges: 15 pound DBs, 10 reps. Perhaps I should have set my sights a little higher :)

Today we also had group exercise, but we basically had 3 different workouts. Elizabeth just came back after her surgery (6 weeks ago), Dallas is having trouble with her IT band, and I'm 6 months pregnant.

I also had great difficulty with the push-ups. Every time I make progress, it feels like I take two steps back because I'm gaining weight (and my muscle growth doesn't keep up with it).

Elizabeth:
9-15-21
Step Ups (10 pound DBs)
SL Deadlift (light bar)

Dallas:
75 snatches (17.5 pounds)
20 SL Deadlift (55 pounds)

25 snatches
20 SL Deadlift (65 pounds)

Squats Training

My push-up training has taken longer than I expected because I lowered my incline. I decided against pull-up training for a variety of reasons, including the fact that I have so much extra weight on me and it's not necessarily the best use of my time.

I started squat training today so I can reach 200 squats. I really need/want strong legs when this baby comes, so this should help me accomplish that.

Initial Test: 61

OH Squats

OH Squats
Goal: 10 reps, 45 pounds
Mission: Accomplished

Round 1: 10 reps, 32.5 pounds
Round 2: 10 reps, 42.5 pounds
Round 3: 10 reps, 45 pounds

And for good measure:
Round 4: 10 reps, 50 pounds

Feels good.

I know I can't go all the way down in a squat because my belly hits my thighs, but it still feels good knowing 50 pounds was easy. Makes me realize I should have marked this off earlier.

Push Press

I tried to reach 75 pounds again, though I did eke out one more press. Monday, definitely Monday.

Push Press
Goal: 10 reps, 75 pounds

Round 1: 10 reps, 45 pounds
Round 2: 10 reps, 55 pounds
Round 3: 5 reps, 65 pounds
Round 4: 7 reps, 75 pounds

Push Press, Deadlift

I am still feeling pretty nauseous all the time and with my workout partner out of commission for the past 6 weeks, I've slacked big time (focusing mainly on stretching and walking--lame).

Tonight I decided to get over myself and make a real effort toward my goals.

Push Presses
Round 1: 10 reps, 45 pounds
Round 2: 10 reps, 65 pounds
Round 3: 6 reps, 75 pounds

I wanted to reach my goal today (10 reps, 75 pounds). Just 4 away...

Deadlifts
Round 1: 10 reps, 45 pounds
Round 2: 5 reps, 65 pounds
Round 3: 5 reps, 75 pounds
Round 4: 10 reps, 85 pounds
Round 5: 5 reps, 95 pounds
Round 6: 5 reps, 100 pounds

I DID IT!!!!

I hit both of my deadlift goals tonight, at 6 months pregnant no less. And the icing on the cake? My little man only has a couple of words at 21 months (arf arf, daddy, oh, and the occasional up). But tonight I said I was doing deadlifts, to which he responded, "De-lif?" Love it.
