IP Workout April 4 & 7

Friday April 4 S2, Week 1, Day 3
Squat
2x8 @ 45lb
3x75lb, 3x95lb, 3x115lb, 3x135lb, 3x155lb
My knees have been hurting since I started squatting again, but not today.  yay! Form started to break down at 155lb.  I'll post a video when I figure out how.  Basically my butt started coming up first.  Is this due to a weak posterior?

Single Leg RDL w/ 35lb kettlebell, 2x8 e/s
DB should press 2x8 @ 15lb (heaviest dumbells that I own)
Rotational medball throw 2x20 (I used a basketball)
Overhead DB extensions 2x8 @ 10lb.  Started using 15, and then dropped the weight because it was too heavy.

Monday April 7 C2, Week 2, Day 4
Totally didn't want to work out today.  I procrastinated for awhile and then dragged my sorry butt to the gym.  Workout wasn't great, but at least I got through it.

10' conditioning block - Elliptical.  Steady State.  Too lazy to do intervals.
5' Recovery

15' Workblock 1
3 Deadlift - 95lb (this weight seemed really light to me, but it is 50% of my BW so I stuck with it)
3 Pullups - Used assist machine on 70lbs.  Tried 40lbs thinking that would be my pre-pregnancy weight and couldn't even get 1 with a little kip.  Today my lats are feeling it so I think this was a good weight.  I struggled to get 3 each round, but I was able to get them.
10 Pushups  I had to do knees on the up, and full plank on the down.  These were really hard for me.  Probably due to the giant milk jugs that are attached to my chest. 
5 Rounds
5' Recovery

10' Conditioning block - Stationary Bike.  Spent most of the time making a new playlist on my phone.  Then did a few 30s intervals. 1.61 miles, Ave HR 119

15' Workblock 2
5 Box Jumps - 13 inches (Gonna need a few new sports bras.  My milk shake was bringing all the boys to the yard!!!!!) Next time will use a higher box.
3 Barbell Rows - 75lb
5 DB shoulder Press - 20lb
8 Rounds

01-Apr-2014 Started IP Program

Started an 8 week program written by Will Heffernan (Informed Performance)
Week 1 Day 1
S1
Mobility & Stability Warm up

Dead lift
2x8 @95lb
3 @115
3 @135
3@155
3@175
First day dead lifting heavy in about 6 months. 175 felt heavy but maintained form. Couldn't have gone much heavier. 

Step ups 2x8

Overhead press
2x8@45lb
3@55
3@65
Had to stop there because baby got hungry. 65lb felt ok but wasn't going to add any additional weight. 

Overall felt good to get back in the saddle after several months of doing nothing because I was pregnant and walking across the parking lot was a workout for me. Especially felt good to do mobility. My body is pretty whacked. I needed that more than anything. Also need to go to chiropractor to straighten out my hips.
