Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I ran this a few weeks ago, and got a ton
of responses from Dinos around the world.
I'll announce the winner tomorrow.
In the meantime, since it's been awhile, I'm
going to send it to you one more time.
Take a look, study the clues carefully, and
see if you can identify the Mystery Man.
The contest is over - we have a winner - so
you don't need to send in a response - but
see if you can figure out who it is.
The story is going to lead us to some very
important points in future emails . . .
So with that said, here's the original Name
the Mystery Man email:
Let's change things up and do something
a little different today.
We're going to have a little contest.
The winner gets a free copy of Legacy
of Iron.
So here's the contest.
Name the Mystery Man based on the
weights he used in his very first workout.
He was 17 years old and he weighed 165
pounds.
He began his workout with standing barbell
presses.
He used a whopping 40 pounds.
To put that in perspective, I was pressing
40 pounds at age 11 - weighing all of 86
pounds.
Or consider this.
A standard Olympic barbell weighs 45
pounds.
So that 40 pound press was less than
the weight of an unloaded Olympic bar!
He then did floor presses with a barbell.
He used 60 pounds on this one.
That's an Olympic barbell with a 5 and
a 2 1/2 on each side.
Next, he did curls with 40 pounds.
After that, he hit some straight arm
pullovers with 30 pounds.
He finished up with some barbell
triceps pushaways behind the legs
(which I guess are similar to dumbbell
triceps kickbacks).
Not sure what he used on that one.
Probably 25 or 30 pounds.
Or maybe just the empty bar.
That was it.
No leg work.
No back work.
And some pretty light weights.
In fact, some VERY light weights.
It wasn't much of a workout - and it gave
no hint of the strength and muscle mass
that he would one day develop.
And yet, he became an Iron Game legend.
Can you guess his name?
