Sleep is one of the most underrated tools to improve performance and recovery.

Had to do a modified Karen
150 DB thruster – used 25# DBs
9:39
Previous time – 9:51 with 20# ball

Lots of times went down for sure. It has been a while since I did this, as I did not do it 6 weeks ago cause I needed a rest day. So this time was 7:18 RX
