Pregnancy lifting question
Of course, after my horrible first tri nausea ended, I got back to CrossFit for a week or two and promptly got sick again with terrible allergies last week. So I had to take another week off. I finally got back again this morning, and oof...I feel so out of shape!
Anyway, my question. Today's WOD involved power snatches. I did mine at 42#. The weight didn't feel too heavy--I cranked out 9 sets of 12 without feeling like my muscles were fatigued. The only issue I had was that I noticed some quick twinging/pulling/cramping in my stomach as I was using my core to complete the lift, kind of like round ligament pain.
Normal? Does this mean I should dial the weight back further?
Re: Pregnancy lifting question
I have been wondering this, too. I don't do CF, though. I stopped doing free weights to some extent and started using machines again so I have more control (my balance has suffered!). When I do certain leg exercises, I notice that I use my core - possibly too much? I usually lower the poundage and it goes away, but then I don't feel like I'm getting as much of a workout.
It's annoying to try and get into a routine again, isn't it? Something always seems to come up that throws a wrench into everything I do, ha.
