Hail to the Dinosaurs!
(Note: I wrote this on Wednesday, the day
before Thanksgiving, but have only now
had a chance to post it for you. We've been
super busy filling orders for Knife, Fork,
Muscle.)
We'll talk about the cell phone workout in
just a second, but first, three quick updates:
1. The Dinosaur Files Quarterly
The first issue of the new quarterly Dinosaur
Files was printed on Friday, and we mailed
them on Fri, Sat and Mon. If you ordered
the Dinosaur Files quarterly, let me know
when you get your issue, and how you
like it -- and what we can do to improve
the little monster.
2. Knife, Fork, Muscle
Was printed on Friday, shipped to us on
Monday, received on Tuesday, and we mailed
a bunch of them out the door yesterday. We'll
mail as many more as possible today and keep
on going on Friday and Saturday -- and on
Monday, if necessary.
There's a lot of books to pack and ship, but
we're working fast and furious, and it's going
pretty quickly.
If you ordered Knife, Fork, Muscle, let me
know when you get your copy and how you
like it.
BTW, everyone who ordered Knife, Fork,
Muscle gets a handwritten note with their
order. Be sure to look for it and read it. It
will be buried somewhere in the package,
along with the book and the bonus bulletins.
3. Here's the link to the interview I did with
Nik Hawks of Paleo Treats -- and as I noted
in yesterday's email, it's a good one:

Slide on over and check it out -- and leave
some feedback!
And now . . . the cell-phone workout.
One of our longtime Dinos was training the
other day at a commercial gym and noticed
a guy who was doing the cell-phone workout.
You may have seen it sometime.
1. Do set of bench presses, squats, curls or
any other exercise.
2. Sit down on bench.
3. Pick up cell-phone.
4. Talk on cell-phone, look at Instagram, Facebook
or YouTube -- or the news scroll -- or Twitter -- or
whatever -- for 2 or 3 minutes.
5. Do next set.
6. Repeat steps 2-4.
7. Continue for the entire workout.
That's the cell-phone workout. And it's probably
the most popular and widely performed workout
in the entire world.
As our Dino watched, he wondered if he should
try to help the guy.
He decided to give it a try.
"Excuse me -- but I can give you a tip that will
double or maybe even triple your results. I mean --
if you're interested."
That caught the guy's attention.
"What is it?" he asked.
Of course, he probably thought it was roidskies. Or
the latest super supplement. Or maybe the latest
mega-muscle blitz blast program.
"Turn off your cell phone and don't turn it back on
until your workout is over."
The guy looked up in disbelief.
"But what will I do between sets?" he asked.
"Focus on the next set."
And then our Dino went back to his workout.
I don't know about you, but I think that was
pretty good advice. Maybe the best advice the
other guy has ever heard.
I just hope he was paying attention.
As always, thanks for reading and have a great
day. If you train today, make it a good one.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
