Worked allllll week on this! Had so much fun and learned a ton from this piece. ❤️

A sleeping Fennec sleeps under a giant mushroom in a forest, leaning against his basket of berries. Half eaten berries are scattered around him.

I cut for a very long time and it naturally became very mentally taxing near the end and my sleep suffered. It feels good to prioritize strength nowwww

I’ve officially entered my first dedicated muscle building phase and…I’m so excited to eat more food

Lat pull-downs will also help build that strength as well!

Thanks!! I have two upper body days a week and during those days I do 3 sets till failure on the pull-up assist machine! I’m mainly focused on building muscle but the machine helped get a feel for the execution of the movement :)

Do it! Highly recommend!

The easier version apparently is with the reverse grip! (Wrists facing you) More commonly called chin-ups :)

Every video of ICE getting chased and bullied away on my TikTok feed extends my lifespan
