Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Two quick notes, and then we'll talk training.
1. Sweatshirts and Hoodies.
We have a very limited number of Dinosaur
Training Hoodies and Grey Hair and Black Iron
sweatshirts in stock. If you're interested in
ordering one, email me for the price, and
the sizes remaining. We're not going to
re-stock these for awhile, so this is your
last chance to snag one.
2. The New Mini-Course.
We've been getting great feedback on my new
mini-course with digital delivery (meaning that
your purchase the course and get an immediate
link to download the PDF). Go here to grab the
little monster:

And, of course -- please let me know how
you like the course and whether you want
us to do more courses with PDF downloads.
3. Ask Yourself this Important Question!
Here's a very good question to ask yourself:
"Why did I start strength training?"
It's important, because the answer helps
you tap into the burning desire that got
you started.
At the beginning of every Iron Game success
story you find something that happened --
something that needed improvement -- a
problem of some sort -- something that led
to a lifelong passion for strength training.
For me, it was severe childhood asthma.
When I was a kid, I had terrible allergies,
and even worse asthma.
I remember the nights when I lay in bed
wheezing uncontrollably and gasping
desperately for breath.
I remember the family doctor telling my
parents that there was nothing he could
do to help me.
That I would always be weak and frail.
That I was too sick to play with the other
children.
That I would not be able to play sports or
outdoor games.
That I should stick to indoor hobbies like
reading, stamp collecting or building
model planes.
But at age nine, I read a book about Teddy
Roosevelt, and I learned -- to my great
astonishment -- that Teddy Roosevelt
had suffered from severe childhood
asthma that was very similar to mine.
But he licked it.
How?
His father set up a small home gym in
an extra bedrom -- and Teddy began
training with weights, pulleys, and
Indian clubs.
And over time, the exercise made him
bigger, stronger and healthier.
He ended up becoming an all-around
athlete and a rugged outdoorsman. He
boxed, rowed, canoed, sailed, rode
horses, camped, hunted and even
owned a cattle ranch. During the
Spanish-American War, he formed
the famous Rought Riders unit
that stormed up the steep slopes
of San Juan Hill to win a decisive
victory.
He went from invalid to hero -- and
it was exercise that did it for him.
That's what got me started -- and
even now, almost 50 years later, I
can remember the burning desire
to be healthy and strong -- and
how it motivated me to start
training.
And just thinking about it keeps me
going -- and keeps me focused on
that early goal of building strength
and health.
So ask yourself the question:
"Why did I start strength training?"
It's an important question. The answer is
your personal key to strength training
success.
As always, thanks for reading and have
a great day. If you train today, make it
a good one.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
