Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Three quick notes - and then we'll talk about your
favorite exercises.
1. My fingers are NUMB from writing personal "Thank
You" notes to everyone who reserved a copy of Knife,
Fork, Muscle. Once we get the books from the printer,
we'll fire them on out at Dino-Double-Warp speed,
with the Thank You notes and the bonuses. I'll keep
you posted as I get more info from the printer.
I am writing many Thank You notes to readers who
bought the first edition of Dinosaur Training back
in 1996, when I signed and numbered every copy --
so that makes almost 20 years together. It's been
fun.
2. The order page for the new quarterly Dino Files
should go up very soon. I'll forward a link when it's
up there.
3. I'll be on the 1:00 hour with Carl Lanore's Super-
Human Radio today. Listen live or catch the download
later on.
And now -- I asked about your favorite exercises --
and you responded!
And you had some good ones:

as always, thanks for reading. If you train today,
make it a good one!
Yours in strength,
