Training for Week 7/23 [Rough Week...]

Feeling like absolute sh*&t this week, but keeping it pushing. It's been a while since I've had a week where I barely wanted to move let alone train, but these are the week's where I feel like I can "grow" the most. Not necessarily in strength, or muscle, etc. but in mental toughness and "grit".

I may not go above and beyond this week, and I may not hit any PR's, let alone my "regular/standard" numbers, but I can get in and do the work when most people wouldn't. #GritGainz
