Starting Strength's Influence in North Korea

[James Rodgers]

Sir,

It appears that the North Koreans read the website and have taken Professor Ebner's article advising us to eat dogs to heart: Kim Jong-un orders North Koreans to hand over pet dogs — so they can be used as meat

I presume that they missed out on the satire in translation.

This does mean that the site's serious advice on strength training will be literally and rigorously applied to (presumably) the entire population of North Korea.

How long do we have until South Korea and Japan are overrun by millions of 405 squatting North Korean super-soldiers? Will we never have to worry about this because the wonders of communism allow only one person in North Korea to run a caloric surplus?

They are more susceptible to suggestion than I would have imagined.
