12/22/20

Today was supposed to be a rest day, but had to cram in this workout due to travel we are doing around Christmas ... Today was overall a very good workout... felt a bit tired this morning, but once I got warm I felt decent. Had some pretty decent DOMS in my chest/shoulders today, benching didn't feel great.
