It's here - the August-September issue of the Dinosaur Files! (We ran late on the August issue, so this is a combined issue for both months.)
It's another terrific issue - with tons of real world, no-nonsense training advice, iron game history, and plenty of Dino-sized motivation and inspiration.
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
by Brooks Kubik
This month's editorial
begins with a training report from a 42-year old Dino who's
been doing something a little different, and has been making
great gains with it - in fact, his massage therapist couldn't believe the improvement.
Now, I'd like to tell you that this was the result of the latest
monster muscle-mass workout where you train six days a week for
ten hours a day, do 17 exercises for every body-part, and bomb, blast and blitz to the max.
But it's a little bit different than that - and a heck of a lot more effective.
