Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Last week we covered the time-honored
5/4/3/2/1 system -- and we also talked
about food supplements and whether or
not they're necessary.
In response to both points, Bill Norman
shot in the following email. Bill's a guy
who trains on Dino-style abbreviated
workouts -- and so far, he's gained 180
pounds of muscle!
This is a good one to save and reread
from time to time -- especially if you're
tempted to drop your heavy training and
jump into the latest and greatest muscle-
pumping program or spend your next paycheck
on super supplements.
Bill wrote:
"I found the best supplements to be gallons
of nonfat milk, pints of cottage cheese, egg
white omelets, and cans of tuna. I also found
all you can eat buffets to be helpful.
Over a 12 year period my weight increased from
140 to 320.
I am sure lots of 5/4/3/2/1 workouts were also
helpful. The lifts I used were squats (mostly
front style), standing press (on occasion, 60
degree incline), high pulls and curls."
So, in answer to the question, "Can you do it
without supplements?" -- and the related question,
"Does abbreviated training really work?" -- the
answer is -- Just as Bill!
As always, thanks for reading, and have a great
day. If you train today, make it a good one!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
