Hail to the Dinosaurs!
One quick note and then we'll talk
training.
Readers keep asking for links to my
kindle e-books. There are NINE of
them so far -- with more coming.
Here's a link to all nine:

On the training front, let's talk about
something that's very simple -- but
can improve your workouts
ENORMOUSLY.
Here it is:
When you go to the gym -- or to
the basement or the garage, or
wherever you train -- you should
always train with PPF.
What's PPF?
Three words:
Perfect.
Precise.
Form.
In other words, do all your reps in
every set -- including your warmup
sets -- in perfect, precise form.
Now, please note -- perfect, precise
form does NOT mean slow motion
reps or time-comtrolled reps or
"squeeze it and feel it" bodybuilding
style reps. I'm NOT suggesting that
you make everything you do look
like a slow mo concentration curl.
And I'm not talking about using baby
weights in your exercises.
I'm talking about heavy, hard training
on the basic exercises -- squats, front
squats, deadlifts, Trap Bar deadlifts,
military presses, bench presses, incline
presses, barbell bent-over rowing, pull-
ups, standing barbell curls, the farmer's
walk, grip work, etc. The heavy-duty
compound movements that build
strength and muscle.
But I'm insisting that you do them in
perfect, precise form.
And there are reasons for that -- good
reasons.
When you use perfect, precise form in
your training, you put the effort on the
EXACT muscle groups you're trying to
train with any particular exercise.
That's quality training (to borrow a term
coined by two-time Olympic gold medal
winner, Tommy Kono). It's the best way
to build strength and muscle in the
minimum amount of time.
Perfect, precise form allows you to train
harder and more efficiently. You get more
done in less time -- with fewer exercises,
fewer sets and fewer reps.
Many trainees spend endless hours searching
for the secret program that will somehow
transform them into a mountain of strength
and muscle.
But in many cases, the program is fine.
The problem is how they perform their
exercises. They're not doing them with
perfect, precise form. They're doing
sloppy reps -- lazy reps -- unfocused
reps.
And as a result, they're not getting much
in the way of results.
So start today with PPF. When you train, do
it the right way: with perfect, precise form.
It may turn out to be one of the best things
you've ever done for yourself.
As always, thanks for reading and have a
great day. If you train today, make it a
good one.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik

doing is worth doing right -- and that goes
double when there's heavy iron on the bar."
