Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I checked my author's page at Amazon yesterday,
and was astonished to see that we have another
no. 1.
Amazon has a category of "Hot New Releases" --
and in the "weight training" category, Dinosaur
Training Secrets, Vol. 3, was ranked no. 1.
That's amazing.
Not because it's a good book -- it is -- but because
it doesn't have any of the glitz, glamor and silly
stuff that sells books and magazines nowadays.
It's nothing but old-fashioned, hard-core strength
training advice -- and over a dozen detailed
progression systems (each with a complete
workout) designed to let you make regular,
consistent, steady progress without over-
training, burning out, going stale or hurting
yourself.
It's what I call "real world" training advice --
and in a world of Fantasy Land training advice,
that makes it as rare as an eight-legged
stegosaurus with purple spots playing a
Beethoven symphony to open a Bon Jovi
concert.
In short, something you don't see every day.
The vast majority of what you see ignores
the element of progression. It's almost as
if it were the dirty word in physical training.
It reminds me a little bit of the barbell sets
in so many high school and college weight
rooms. We had them in my high school weight
room, and if you're my age, you probably had
them in yours, as well. The coaches liked them
because they kept the place neat and clean,
without having plates lying all around.
The outside collars were welded to the bars.
You couldn't take them off and add more weight
to the bar.
You were stuck with whatever was on the bar.
Now, I know they had other barbells, and the
idea was to move up to a heavier barbell as
you got stronger -- but still, the idea of a
ZERO PROGESSION BARBELL is kind of
contrary to the whole idea of weight
training.
After all, the name of the game is PROGRESSIVE
strength training. You're supposed to be able to
add weight to the bar.
But many trainees are locked into training
with zero progression barbells. Even if they
use adjustable barbells, they don't (or can't)
add weight to the bar on a regular basis.
Sometimes, they don't even know they should
try. And if they do, they don't know how to do
it.
That's why I wrote the new course, and that's
why I covered old-school progression systems
in detail. To help trainees break free from those
zero progression barbells.
Judging from the response at Amazon, it looks
like a good idea -- and it looks like a lot of trainees
around the world are going to be making some
serious progress. And that's terrific!
Of course, we couldn't have done it without
you. So let me say THANK YOU to everyone
who stepped up, took action and ordered the
little monster -- and to everyone who posted
a review on our Kindle page.
As always, thanks for reading and have a great
day. If you train today, make it a good one!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
