Hail to the Dinosaurs!
In the Middle Ages, alchemists tried to
find a way to change iron to gold.
Some men spent their entire lives in a
fruitless search for the magic formula
that would change ordinary iron into
beautiful, shining gold -- gold that would
make them wealthier and more
powerful than emperors and kings.
They never suceeded.
Iron was iron, and gold was gold.
But hundreds of years later, other men
made a remarkable discovery.
They learned how to unleash the magic of
iron.
These were men like Alan Calvert, Mark
Berry, Harry Paschall, George F. Jowett,
Sig Klein, Bob Hoffman and Peary Rader.
The men who put barbells and dumbbells --
and the secret of how to use them --
into the hands of thousands of eager
trainees around the world.
And make no mistake about it. Barbells and
dumbbells are quite literally miracle tools.
Properly used, they can transform your
physique, adding many pounds of muscle,
and building enormous strength and power.
With the right kind of training, you can double
or even triple your starting levels of strength
and devleopment. And some trainees do even
better than that.
To me, that's magic. Far more magic than
turning iron to gold.
But it doesn't stop there.
Barbell and dumbbell training works because it
is a form of progressive resistance training. You
start by handling weights that are managable but
challenging -- and you gradually increase your
reps in each exercise -- and then you add weight
to the bar, drop back on the number of reps, and
build back up again.
And you repeat the process over and over.
It's a series of small steps -- but every step is a
step forward. With every step, you move forwards
toward more strength, more muscle and more
power. Every step is a victory.
You end up transforming your body -- but more
than that, you end up transforming your mind,
your heart and your entire being.
You learn some of the most important lessons
a person can learn.
You learn that hard work leads to great results.
That success occurs step by step.
That whatever you can conceive and believe, you
can achieve.
That nothing can stop you.
And that you and you alone control your destiny
and your future.
And that's REAL magic.
If you train, you know what I'm talking about. If
you don't train, or if you stopped training, now's
the time to start (or start again) -- and to grab
some of that magic.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
P.S. More than any book ever written, Legacy
of Iron captures the magic of barbell and dumbbell
training -- by taking you back to the 1930's and
letting you share the magic with a young man
named Jim Miller -- who needed a miracle -- and
found it when he discovered barbell training:

P.S. 3. Thought for the Day: "If you're looking
for magic, look no further than the nearest
barbell." -- Brooks Kubik
