Geoff's Miscellany

When I was a personal trainer I had always hypothesized that strength training would lead to positive outcomes for pregnant women and the child, particularly if they had been training prior to the conception of their child.

Since I'm not a research center and such training could be high risk, I just wouldn't train a pregnant woman. The wisdom in the early 2000s was, "don't engage in strength training if you're pregnant." Among trainers the wisdom was, "that doesn't make any sense, but don't do it to avoid a lawsuit."
