Hail to the Dinosaurs!
We'll talk arm training in a minute, but first,
let me cover some important updates:
1. An Interview with Bill Kociaba
I had great fun doing an interview with Bill
Kociaba of Kociaba Fitness. We covered a
lot of interesting topics, including updates
on the new quarterly Dinosaur Files and why
I believe it's important to go old-school and
offer a hard-copy printed on paper magazine
that covers real world strength training and
muscle building. (And think about it -- there
aren't too many of them left.)
You can find the podcast right here. It starts
with me rather than Bill, and there's some
background noise at first, but give it a few
minutes and it clears up -- and I think you'll
really like it:

3. Autographs for Christmas orders
I autograph all books shipped in December. If
you want a personalized message with the
autograph, pls ask for it in the special
instructions section of the on-line order form.
If someone orders a book for you, be sure they
know about this and ask me to sign the book
to YOU as opposed to whoever orders it for
you.
4. Italian Dinos
Shoot me an email if you'd like a good deal on
back issues of The Dinosaur Files from 2010 and
2011 and some other Dino goodies. We have one
set to offer on special terms -- first come, first
served.
DINO STYLE ARM TRAINING
And now -- let's talk arm training . . .
Back in the day, the vast majority of trainees --
particularly beginners -- were arm crazy.
They would spend endless hours curling themselves
into oblivion . . . while neglecting their squats and
deadlifts, and often forgetting to do anything other
than pumping their bi's and tri's.
That was crazy, and it resulted in zero gains for
many trainees.
Of course, the muscle mags fueled the frenzy. You
saw a new super-duper arm blasting program in
almost every issue of every magazine. And all the
latest and greatest training techniques coming to
you straight from Muscle Beach were designed
primarily or exclusively for arm training:
super-sets
tri-sets
cheating
forced reps
burns
pre-exhaustion
peak contraction
Somehow, the muscle mags always pushed these
"advanced" training techniques for curls and triceps
work, NOT for squats and deadlifts and standing
presses.
Of course, all of that was silly.
If you want to build big, strong, powerful arms,
there's a much better way to do it.
It involves plenty of squats, deadlifts, upper body
pulling movements and upper body pressing
movements.
Multiple sets of low to medium reps.
Training for strength, not for a pump.
And working the entire body, not just the
arms.
I cover it all in my DINOSAUR ARM
TRAINING course.
It gives you three progressive programs
to build your arms the right way -- by
combining sensible training for the entire
body with just enough extra arm work to
pack some extra strength and mass into
your arms (and your shoulders, as well,
because you'll be doing plenty of presses).
Grip work, too -- serious, old-school grip
working. Because you don't want gorilla
arms and a bunny grip.
It's actually a pretty good program for all-
around strength and devleopment.
And it doesn't feature anything from Muscle
Beach -- or anything from the Land of the
Muscle Pumpers.
It's real world, common sense, no-nonsense
strength training and muscle building.
DINOSAUR ARM TRAINING is about old-school
arm training -- the kind of arm training that men
like John Grimek and Steve Stanko followed. And
face it -- they did okay.
As always, thanks for reading and have a great
day. If you train today, make it a good one.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik

best, and that goes for building big arms as
much as anything else." -- Brooks Kubik
