    Thanks. I'll keep that in mind if book sales slow down.

    Though I'd say I enjoy the fact that Rip doesn't sell this kind of thing, in some ways. Having a bunch of "Rip brand" merchandise would have sent up warning flags to me back when I first heard of Starting Strength. That's just me, though.

    I will only buy them if they say "YNDTP" on them, also waiting for the YNDTP shirt.

    OK-OK-OK to paraphrase Joe Pesci in Lethal Weapon. I've had my fun. But if you are seriously considering actually doing this, you could reverse engineer them the old fashioned way that the PRC and Rooskies would always try through open sources. The manufacturer may not talk, but maybe, just maybe some trade association like say something like the Textile Manufacturer's Association (or whatever) could put you hot on the trail of the folks who made the fabric for the wraps. While Harbinger might be vigilant with it's product OPSEC, it may be lax with respect to non-disclosure agreements with it's suppliers. If so, the whole riddle wrapped in an enigma could be bypassed with Harbinger by finding the source and dealing with them direct. This is an entirely legal form of competitive intelligence gathering and is commonly used by business and marketing people all the time. Just sayin'.

    Rip, can you sell me some hundred fifty dollar capri pants and maybe a jacket too? They don't have to look nice. The goofier the better.

    You fucking guys, I will never be in the textile business, the equipment business, the hamburger business, or the laundry business.

    You need to give me some time to practice my Brazilian accent and buy a pair of plaid boxers.

    Oh, yeah, and some time to get my squat up to 500.
