Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Can anyone identify the following workout
from way back some 40 or 50 years ago?
It was written by a pretty well-known outfit
(as in, one of the biggest in the business),
but the answer will surprise you.
So for bragging rights -- take a guess.
Who wrote it?
Who used it?
Where did it come from?
Did any of you follow it?
What do you think about it? Good program for
beginners? Thumbs up? Thumbs down?
THE MYSTERY WORKOUT
1. Warm-up exercise -- Power snatch. Do one set
of as many reps as it takes to feel nice and loose
and warmed up.
2. Military press with barbell 1 x 10
3. Barbell curl 1 x 5
4. Full deep knee bend 1 x 5
5. Light barbell pullover with deep breathing 1 x 6
6. Floor press 1 x 5
7. Two dumbbell press 1 x until tired
8. Two dumbbell curl and press 1 x until tired
On each exercise, you added one rep at a time as
your strength permitted (two reps on squats).
You have 24 hours to guess the source of the MYSTERY
WORKOUT. The first Dino with the correct answer gets
a free copy of Legacy of Iron -- and bragging rights
for a job well done!
By the way, I just read this email to Trudi -- she
knows the answer, of course -- and she's laughing
because she doesn't think anyone can get it. So
take that as a challenge! (And don't bother to
ask her -- she's not telling!)
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. As I mentioned, the first reader with the
correct answer gets a free copy of Legacy of Iron.
