Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I just finished an interview on
SuperHuman Radio. It was scheduled
at the last minute so I wasn't able
to give the Dinos advance notice.
But if you missed the live broadcast,
you can listen to it later in the SHR
archives.
We covered a topic that I've been
promoting for around 20 years:
ABBREVIATED STRENGTH TRAINING.
Carl Lanore, who runs SHR, has been
getting great results with short, hard,
heavy workouts. In fact, he's been doing
so well on this kind of training that when
another guest cancelled at the last minute,
he called and asked if I'd talk about it
on today's show -- and naturally, I agreed
to do so.
We called the show COUNTER INTUITIVE
TRAINING -- because everything thinks the
more you train, the better you do.
Not so.
In fact, the vast majority of trainees would
improve their results by reducing their workout
by 50 percent.
That's right -- 50 percent.
Most people spend the vast majority of their
training time on things that are unproductive
at best and counter-productive at worst. The
vast majority of what they do is simply wasted
effort.
They use the wrong exercises.
They do too many sets and too many reps.
They don't use good form.
They don't train hard enough and heavy enough.
They train for a pump instead of training for
strength.
They do more and more work -- and get less and
less in the way of results.
In contrast, Dinos get BETTER results with LESS
work than the typical trainee.
If you're a regular reader, you know what I'm
talking about -- and if you've given it a try,
you already know that short, hard, heavy
workouts -- Dino style abbreviated training --
will give you GREAT results.
If you're a new reader, or if you've been
skeptical, then you owe it to yourself to
read up on abbreviated training -- and to
give it a try. See for yourself. Experience
the power of abbreviated workouts.
Obviously, I can't give you all of the details
in an email message -- and the details are
important. I cover abbreviated training in
Dinosaur Training -- in Strength, Muscle and
Power -- in Gray Hair and Black Iron -- and
in Chalk and Sweat -- and I apply the principles
of abbreviated workouts to bodyweight training
in Dinosaur Bodyweight Training. You can find
all of them at the usual spot:

And no, I didn't invent abbreviated training --
but I sure am glad I found out about it -- and
I'm even more glad I decided to give it a try!
As always, thanks for reading -- and have a great
day! If you train today, make it a good one!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
P.S. We have a three way tie for the most popular
book or course of the year -- it's between these
little monsters -- and all of them teach you how
to train short, hard, and fast for GREAT results:
