Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Here's an email I sent one year ago. It
announced the opening of something
new and terrific for Dinosaurs: THE
STRENGTH ARCHIVE.
Also known as THE IRON LEAGUE.
Since we're now at the one year
anniversary of the little monster,
I thought it would be fun to go
back and see what I said about
it when I broke the news to the
Dino Nation.
Of course, my original email said the
Strength Archive would be opening it's
doors on May 13, 2015. Don't let that
fool you - the Strength Archive has
been open and going strong for one
year now!
THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
Synchronize your watches and be ready to
take immediate action at 9:00 a.m. EST
on Wednesday, May 13.
That's when John Wood is going to open
the doors to his Strength Archive.
The Strength Archive is a very unique
project.
I know about it because John is a good
friend -- and because I've been one of
the beta-testers for the Strength Archive.
In other words, I've been able to log in
and take a look -- and watch as the little
monster grew bigger and bigger -- with
more and more really terrific material.
Do you remember the line from The Blues
Brothers?
"We're on a mission from God."
Well, John Wood has been on a similar
sort of mission. He's been working like
crazy -- sometimes until 3:00 or 4:00
in the morning -- to put more and
more great material into the Strength
Archive.
Right now, it has enough material that
it would take you a very long time to
read it all.
But John is going to continue to add more
and more material to the archive -- so no
matter how hard you try, you might not
ever read all of it.
Every time you think you're almost there,
something new will appear.
It reminds me a little bit of a story about
the great American novelist, Thomas Wolfe.
I think he even tells the story in You Can't
Go Home Again -- but it's been almost 40
years since I read the book, so I may be
conflating things.
Anyhow, Thomas Wolfe went to college
at Harvard -- which has one of the biggest
and best libraries anywhere in the world.
So he decided to make the most of the
opportunity.
He decided to read every book in the
Harvard library -- starting with A and
working to Z.
I forget how far he got -- but never made
it through all the books. There were just
too many of them -- and more and more
kept coming.
And the Strength Archive is a little bit
like that. It doesn't have as many books
and magazines as the Harvard library --
but it's got PLENTY to read.
And here's the other thing.
It's not just the stuff you see everywhere
else.
Sure, you may have seen some of the
material in the Strength Archive -- but
I guarantee that there's a ton of material
you've never seen.
I've been a student of the Iron Game for almost
half a century -- and I have a pretty good set
of materials in my personal library -- and I've
seen lots of other material over the years --
but there are MANY books, courses and
articles in the Strength Archive that are
brand new to me.
Here's a link that shows a small number of
books, courses and magazines that you'll
see in the Strength Archive. Take a look
and see how many of them are new to
you:

Anyhow, as I said, the Strength Archive
goes live tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. EST. It's
a members only site, so you'll need to
start by grabbing a membership. They're
not expensive, so don't let that stop you.
And after that -- it's Happy Reading Time
for strength fans!
Which means some of you are going to
dive into the archive and not surface for
a week or two. So pack food and water --
let your spouse or significant other know
you'll be gone for awhile -- and be sure
someone takes care of the dogs and cats.
As always, thanks for reading -- and get
ready for plenty more great reading when
you enter the Strength Archive!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
