Hello all,

I’m getting pumped for Chest/Shoulder/Triceps/Ab Ripper X tonight and I was skimming my hardbound copy of "Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield. It is the novel of the same story as the movie "300". One of my favorite chapters is the very end of the first days hostilities between the Spartans and their Persian enemies. I will quote the final paragraph of the chapter:

Out front, where the enemy were falling back in wild disorder, the victors of the moment could see Polynikes, on his feet, alone, with his arms raised toward the fleeing foe. He wrenched his helmet from his skull, dripping with blood and sweat, and flung it in triumph upon the earth. "Not today you sons of %*@’s!" he bellowed at the foe in flight. "Not today!"

Pumped yet? I’m ready to go workout!!!!!!!

Live Strong,

Mike
