Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Two quick notes, and then we'll talk about
John Grimek -- and whether he used Hi-
Proteen powder.
1. The September 2015 Dinosaur Files
Quarterly - Hard Copy Edition
We mailed the hard copy edition of the
new Dinosaur Files Quarterly on Thursday
of last week. If you reserved a copy during
the pre-publication special, you should be
getting it today or tomorrow -- unless you
live somewhere in the USA that's been
hit by the rain and flooding on the Atlantic
coast.
The rain and flooding will undoubtedly slow
down mail deliverythroughout the affected
region. How much, we don't know.
But wherever you live, shoot me an email when
you get your hard copy of the DFQ -- and let
me know how you like the little monster.
If you want the hard copy issue but haven't
ordered it yet, here's the link:

2. The September 2015 Dinosaur Files
Quarterly - Kindle E-Book Edition
We released the Kindle e-book edition of the
new DFQ on Sunday, and the little monster
zoomed right up into the Kindle Top 10 List
in its category -- which is pretty good for the
first day of a new release!
Here's the link to the Kindle e-book edition,
which is ready for immediate download:

If you grab the e-book edition, be sure to post
a review on our Kindle page. The reviews really
help us!
And before I forget -- a very big THANK YOU to
everyone who helped push us into the Top 10!
And now, let's talk diet and nutrition for strength
training and muscle building.
3. Did John Grimek Use Hi Proteen Powder?
When I was a kid, Bob Hoffman sold Hi-Proteen
powder in a big four-pound box. (And yes, they
spelled it "p-r-o-t-e-e-n.)
The box was blue, with photos of John Grimek,
Steve Stanko and Jules Bacon.
I bought the stuff because I wanted to look like
Grimek, Stanko and Bacon -- and hopefully, to
win the Mr. America title, just like they had done.
I figured that if Grimek, Stanko and Bacon used
Hi-Proteen to build their muscles, it would work
the same for me.
I was wrong. It didn't build much of anything.
And eventually, I stopped taking the stuff.
But here's the funny thing.
Grimek won the Mr. America in 1940 and 1941.
Bacon won the Mr. America in 1943.
Stanko won the Mr. America in 1945.
Hi-Proteen didn't go on the market until the
early 1950s.
In other words, Grimek, Bacon and Stanko
did NOT use Hi-Proteen to build their muscles.
They did it with barbells, dumbbells and plenty
of good, solid food.
Grimek once said, "Meat is my baby!"
He never said that about Hi-Proteen powder.
And yet, the stuff was marketed with photos
of Grimek, Bacon and Stanko on the box.
There's an important lesson there -- but I have
to admit, it took me a long time and many
boxes of Hi-Proteen powder to learn it.
As always, thanks for reading and have a great
day. If you train today, make it a good one!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
