Horse on the left was in the lead; horse on the right was closing the gap and starting to pass. Instead of the horse on the left putting more effort into gaining (and keeping) the lead....he reaches over and bites the horse on the right. Meanwhile, the horse on the right has his ears laid back and his eyes on the prize. Guess which horse won the race? Yep, the one on the right. Moral of the story: Don't entertain the nonsense. Have a purpose, stay focused, and never let others bring you down. Have you set your Q4 goals yet? How close are you to reaching your 2017 goals? It's not too late - eyes on the prize and stay focused (or re-focus today). Strength: BN Jerk, Chin-ups, DB Floor Press Conditioning: Tabata Push-ups, Pull-ups, Sit-ups, and Squats  We did it!
