Am I allowed to lift while I’m pregnant? I’ve found guidelines that state that I should not be lifting >36 pounds before 20 weeks’ gestational age and no more than 26 pounds after 20 weeks’ gestational age, but that’s not even the weight of the bar!
Hi there –
This is a topic we’ve discussed several times before both on the forum and in our YouTube videos, so I’d recommend searching for those to get some guidance. Good luck!
In addition to the resources offered by Austin and Jordan on this topic, a recent consensus statement regarding physical activity thoughout pregnancy is published here https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/bjsports/52/21/1339.full.pdf
