Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Let's do something a little different today.
Let's have a special challenge to the
Dinosaurs.
See if you can guess who said each of the
following quotes from famous Iron Game
figures. Shoot me an email with
your answers.
The first Dino to send me an email with all
10 correct answers wins a free Dinosaur
Training T-shirt.
The contest ends at midnight EST on Monday,
November 17, 2014.
If there is no winner, we'll try again in a
week or two, with another quiz.
And there may very well NOT be a winner --
because this one is darn hard.
In fact, it's really tough . . . but regular readers
may be able to piece together some of the
answers based on the words used in the
quote, the point of the quote, or even,
in some cases, some of the spelling
choices or capitalizations, which I am
reproducing exactly as they are in the
original quotes.
Still, it won't be easy . . . but even if there's
no winner, this is worth doing because these
10 quotes contain some very valuable nuggets
from the old Iron Mine.
Are you ready?
Get set.
Go.
WHO SAID IT?
1. "Unfortunately, dreams and reality are
different states. Just to dream that you can
lift 300 lbs is no sign that you can do it."
2. "Provided you are not organically sick,
a heavy training program, sensibly organized
and built around teeth-grinding squats, can
start you growing in size and strength like
a Dinosaur!"
3. "Most men will gain fine on two heavy
workouts per week, especially if there is plenty
of heavy leg and back work included."
4. "How shall we determine the proper amount
of exercise? This, in our opinion, becomes the
question of most vital import between the
instructor and the enthusiastic seeker after
results in physical improvement."
5. "The man who tries to develop all his body
by the use of a pair of light dumb-bells, is
laboring under a tremendous handicap."
6. "To build really big arms, the chest, lungs,
heart and other internal organs must be
strengthened and enlarged first."
7. "Poundage progression is critical. Never be
satisfied with any particular weight in any
particular exercise. This is NOT new information,
but modern trainees seem to have lost sight of it
entirely."
8. "To build muscles and strength, to build
stronger attachments, tendons, ligaments,
and cartiliges, it is necessary to use heavy
poundages."
9. "To be free from winter ailments this year,
two things are highly essential for you to
observe, and I reiterate: Diet and exercise."
10. "To maintain youthful spirits, the great
muscles of the body -- in fact all the muscles --
must be used with a certain amount of
regularity. That does not necessarily mean
daily -- most people hate a routine, but they
should be used frequently and vigorously
enough to thoroughly stir the circulatory
processes."
So there you go. Good luck!
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. 4. Thought for the Day: "Today's Friday. That
means it's either a good day to train, or a good day
to rest and recover from your most recent workout.
But it's got to be one or the other " -- Brooks Kubik
