7 habits of highly successful athletes:1. Don't be a fattie:-Stop eating a bunch of crap food. Cut out breakfast cereal and kill the fast food-Stop skipping breakfast. You may have heard about intermittent fasting while reading the 50 blogs that offer different advice, each more confusing than the next...Bottom line, your body needs fuel to perform!Commit to eating stronger, more nutritious foods.2. Live by your word:It's a shame. An honest person is hard to find. If you say you're going to do it, then do it—and go all out. If you give your word, don't make excuses; make it happen.3. Leave everything in the gym:This boils down to honesty. Be honest with yourself. When you look yourself in the mirror after your workout, ask yourself, "Did I give my all today?"Break records and always train to become at least one percent better than the last workout.4. Excuses pave the road to nowhere:Really? You only train twice each week and on the other five days you can't train? The athletes who make excuses are simply giving themselves a green light to lose. You must be brutally honest with yourself if you want to achieve success.Avoid making excuses and learn to take responsibility for all your actions.5. When things go wrong keep fighting:There is always a way to train, to rise above, to conquer and crush obstacles. You will see big changes in your success when you have the right mindset.6. Beat the guy next to you every time:When you train, get in there and compete. Average doesn't cut it in sports or life. The two go hand in hand. When you train, you should push at high intensity and make everyone else rise to your level.7. Don't be afraid to fail:This is where many athletes go wrong. They set their sights on small goals, feeling they are not ready for the bigger goals.You must decide that you are going to achieve a big, specific goal. That goal will drive your actions to greater heights. Every rep, every set, every workout, every meal—they will all be done with the motivation to kick ass and take names to achieve your goal. Without a big goal, you will go stale and you'll hit a wall.***Strength:Find 1rm Back SquatWod: Fran21-15-9 Thrusters and Pull ups (95/65)***Article from Bodybuilding.com(full article here, http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/the-7-habits-of-highly-effective-athletes.html)[learn_more caption="NEWS"]***Do you have UnitedHealthCare for your health insurance?
