3 Deadlift (60% of your Deadlift Max)

If you do not know your Deadlift max (1 RM), then do what feels comfortable today.
We do not advocate maxing out during pregnancy. Work up to a weight you are comfortable with, but do not strain or hold your breath during the movement. During your first trimester you will most likely be able to lift close to your max. Listen to your body and please do not push yourself to the limit
