Hail to the Dinosaurs!
As you know, I'm chained to the computer,
pounding away at the keyboard as I work on
the new course about John Grimek's life and
lifting -- and his training.
A little later in the week -- perhaps on
Wednesday -- I'm going to put up a special
sales page so you can go ahead and reserve
a copy during the pre-publication
special.
Everyone who reserves a copy during the
pre-publication special gets a special bonus
when the course is printed and I fill the
orders. In fact, I think I'm going to do
a double bonus this time. Grimek deserves
a double bonus, don't you think?
I did take a short break earlier in the
day.
One of my buddies came over, bringing one of
the coolest pieces of training equipment you've
ever seen. I off-loaded it off his truck --
which was quite a workout -- and it now sits
in the garage, staring with menace at the
other barbells and dumbbells.
What is it, you ask?
It's a coal crusher from a coal mine in West
Virginia.
What's a coal crusher?
Well, it's a great big iron ball.
It measures 32 inches when you slap a measuring
tape around it.
What it weighs, I don't know. But it's heavy.
They call it a coal crusher because they dump the
coal into a roller, and the ball's inside the
roller, and they spin it all around, and the
ball crushes the coal.
In other words, it's like an atlas stone --
but it's solid iron. And yes, it's gonna
be lots of fun in my workouts -- as long
as I don't drop it on my foot. A coal
crusher is one thing; a foot crusher is
another.
I'll try to get a photo posted in the not
too distant future -- but for now, I need to
get back to work on that Grimek course!
I tell you, though -- I wonder what Grimek
would have done with a coal crusher?
Probably juggled the thing -- or maybe used it
for a quick game of volleyball with Steve
Stanko!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
P.S. If you're busting at the seams about the
Grimek course, I've got some good news for
you -- you can start learning more about Grimek
