The 100 Word Challenge!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Two quick notes, and then we'll get
to the 100 Word Challenge.

1. The Dinosaur Files Quarterly

Issue no. 3 of the Dinosaur Files
Quarterly is ready to go -- and it's

2. Questions for Bill Hinbern

Many of you sent in questions for my
interview with Bill Hinbern. Bill and I
reviewed the questions before the
interview, and we answered some
of them -- but there are more we
need to answer.

We'll try to get to them in follow-up
interviews and/or via our daily emails.
For example, I covered one of them in
yesterday's email about common
deadlift questions.

Also, I assume you have the link for the
interview on YouTube, but if not, here
is Part 1 -- and from there, you can link
to Parts 2 thru 5:

If you have follow-up questions for
either of us, send them in!

The 100 Word Challenge

Here's a challenge -- let's see if I can give
you 100 Biographical Summaries of Great
Iron Game figures in a total of 100 words
or less.

1. John Grimek

The best example of old-school strength and
muscle. Inspired thousands to start training.

2. Bob Hoffman

Tireless promoter of weightlifting.

[Note: that's 21 words -- I'm gonna
do it!]

3. John Davis

All-time great lifter -- almost forgotten today,
which is tragic.

4. Bernarr MacFadden

Mr. Physical Culture.

[Note: 37 words. I will make it!]

5. Steve Stanko

The Big Champ. The first 1000 lb. total. And
then, tragedy.

6. Reg Park

Mr. Massive (strong, too!). Inspired so
many of us.

[Note: That's 61. On track.]

7. Doug Hepburn

The most inspiring champion ever!

[Note: 68 -- Piece of cake!]

8. Peary Rader

Mr. Integrity. Tireless promoter of real
world training -- and the 20-rep squat!

[Note: 82 now. Still on track.]

9. Harry Paschall

Bosco. One of my favorite Iron Game
authors.

[Note: 92. It's getting close.]

10. Alan Calvert

Super-Strength and the Milo Barbell
Company.

[Note: 100! It's a darm good thing that the
book "Super-Strength" is hyphenated so it
counts as one word!]

That one eneded up being closer than I
thought it would be. We'll try another
challenge sometime and see how it goes.

In the meantime, thanks for reading --
and remember to grab your copy of the
Dinosaur Files Quarterly -- and to watch
my interview with Bill Hinbern -- and to
shoot in any follow-up questions for us!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik
