My plan was to test 1RMs in 3 weeks, but I just found out I’m pregnant. I suppose I could still test, but I’m a little bummed it won’t be under optimal conditions.

Congratulations!

Caveat, I've never been pregnant, but I reckon you're pretty early so I think it shouldn't affect you negatively too badly 3 weeks from now? Or do you have terrible nausea that's affecting your ability to eat?

Thank you!! I’m very early on. The nausea hasn’t begun yet, but I’m starting to get way more prone to motion sickness, so I feel like it’s coming. We’ll see how it goes.
