News: Carb Back-Loading, DH Forums, and Kiefer’s Kryptonite

Hey everybody, Naomi here. We have a bunch of important announcements to make. I promise if you read all the way down to the bottom it’ll be worth it.

Even superheroes have weaknesses

Thanksgiving came and went, and I was grateful for Carb Back-Loading. It’s nice knowing that when you’ll be faced with Aunt Laura’s insanely sugary pecan pie, you can plan to train hard before Thanksgiving dinner to make pie a feature of your progress rather than the emblem of your defeat.

Food poisoning - Kiefer's Kryptonite?

Kiefer's going to kill me for posting this.

Well, apparently for a certain “I don’t give a fuck” badass, Thanksgiving wasn’t enough. Sometime Saturday night, Kiefer came down with a nasty case of food poisoning. The details are unknown to me (I’m thinking it’s better this way, bleh) and I only heard from him by text message early Sunday evening while I was at the gym.

Reopening the Forums

We’ve quietly had this on the back-burner for a little while, because we didn’t want to make any extra promises before the Carb Back-Loading release. Now I’m pleased to announce that the Dangerously Hardcore forums are ready and waiting to accept your comments, questions, experiences, and nonsequiturs with open arms.

If you had a forum identity before the big site reboot last month, I regret to say that your old account couldn’t be imported. We’re using a different forum system from before, and we ended up with an insane amount of spam accounts due to the previous system not checking for spambots during site registration.

The new registration process should be quick and painless. I hope you’ll take a few seconds to join.

Really, have at it. Don’t make a big mess, I just swept up in there.

Can Haz Carb Back-Loading?

Man, you guys are awesome. So patient, so enthusiastic.

Here’s where things are at. We announced a November 30th full release date a few weeks ago, assuming we’d kick ass all through Thanksgiving weekend to get everything done.

Kiefer to the commenters

Jebus, look at those typos. He's obviously on his deathbed.

Now, with Kiefer’s temporary setback, I think we’re going to be a few days late. Neither of us is happy about that, as we’ve been pretty keen on keeping the pressure on, keeping up with comments, and meeting our own deadlines.

We feel pretty bad about the delay. And since we have a few days to kill before Kiefer fully recovers (although I see he’s already back responding to questions today!), I want to make you guys an offer.

How to Get the Carb Back-Loading Book Free

We have the book coming out at $87 when it goes live (hopefully at the end of this week), but we don’t have the “sales machine” set up yet, and I’m anxious to get this into someone’s hands.

Here’s the deal. The first 100 people who get on the forums and post about their experiences (good or bad!) using Carb Back-Loading to date, just based on your knowledge from reading Kiefer’s articles around the web, will be entered in a random drawing to win the book for FREE. We’ll pick 7 people out of that 100.

And for those of you who haven’t tried it, I’ll pick 7 out of the first 100 people who write a post describing something you find confusing about Carb Back-Loading and why you haven’t tried it yet.

Again, sorry for the delay! I can kick his ass all I want but it’s not going to keep him from eating one too many whole chickens, apparently.
