    The article called you best selling, that's quite the compliment. SS appears to be growing.

    Do they approach best sellers for those bands or is it a case of proactive marketing on your behalf?

    How do these 'bands' make you 'feel'?

    Gotta love other programs on the list:

    "New Year's Resolution Dumbbell Plan, 12 Minutes of Hurt, Block Run Fun, Bodyweight Conditioning, Interval Running Plus, Jump Start Your Fitness, New Year's Resolution Bodyweight Blast, Quick Dumbbell Workout, Simple Lower Body Strength, Simple Total Body Strength, Simple Upper Body Strength, Tabata Kettlebell Swings and Tabata Alternating Kettlebell Swings & Box Jumps ."

    By "partnering" with Mark Rippetoe does that they actually came to you because the program works and wanted to flesh out the details, or were you simply in the top 10 when they did a Google search?

    (I guess it would be a IE search for those poor souls at Microsoft HQ)

    They approached me. And The Band is guaranteed to add 50 pounds to every lift. Get yours today!

    Can I trust this overly enthusiastic Mark Rippetoe who uses exclamation marks?

    What's the difference between this band nagging me and my ex wife?

    You don't occasionally have sex with the band.

    I would be reluctant to pose this as a challenge, for fear of the repercussions.

    Well, he said "ex wife". There's no telling how low he's sunk since he couldn't have sex with her.

    Pretty low, admittedly.
    I'm up for a challenge.
