I haven’t lifted in 3 weeks…(I was going crazy) 🤯

I strained my rib cage before bench worlds and only pushed through so I could compete | these last few weeks I completely stopped lifting so I could heal properly. 

Although taking a step back from the gym was very hard for me to do, I am glad I was able to heal and not further the injury. 

After breaking my ankle 3 times when I was a gymnast and never letting it heal properly, I’m a big advocate for taking rest when your body absolutely needs it. 

It seems like my strength keeps getting hit again and again this year by sickness and injuries 😭 but there isn’t a better way to prove I can persevere then being knocked down time and time again and continuing to get back up!!
