• Struggled with overcoming jetlag last week after coming back from India, leading to poor sleep, a weaker immune system, and nagging cold symptoms last week.
• H20, Vitamin C, and sleep are the key to a speedy recovery.
Personal Highlight 😄
• Despite not being at 100% physically, hit a new PR in the gym (4x90lb weighted pullups)
New PR 💪🏽
10x45lbs followed by 4x90lbs
Even if it takes months, nothing more satisfying then putting in work day after day after day and seeing the results months later
