Before the book even came out, I got a blistering email from an editor who'd gotten an advance copy and was furious that I'd told him to do sets of 15 lunges at 3-1-1. I agree that would be torture. Hell, I don't think they'd even do that at Guantanamo.

But, for what it's worth, it's not what I meant.
