| Double rope pull-ups - one of the many unique and effective exercises in Dinosaur Bodyweight Training. |
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Two quick notes and then we'll talk
training.
1. Something New Is Coming!
We have something new for you, and
we're trying to launch it today -- but
we're running into some technical
snafus.
We're working at double warp speed
to get everything ready to go -- but it
may take another 24 hours or so. Not
sure.
Anyhow . . .
Be looking for the big announcement
later today or tomorrow, as soon as
we get everything sorted out. And as
I mentioned before, I think you are
REALLY going to like this.
2. Our Daily Emails
We're pruning our email list, and that
may knock a couple longtime Dinos off
the list by accident. If you don't get any
of my daily emails tomorrow or Wednesday,
shoot me an email and we'll double-check
to be sure you are on the list -- and if not,
we'll put you back on.
3. The "Whaddaya Think About It?"
Question
I get a lot of "whaddaya think about"
questions.
"Whaddaya think about [fill in the box
with the name of any book, course,
training system, workout, supplement,
trainer, coach, or piece of equipment
that you can imagine]."
Whatever it is, someone wants to know
"Whaddaya think about it?"
The answer is almost always the same.
Answer: "I don't. I think about old-
fashioned, Dino style strength training.
And you should do the same."
In other words, don't waste your time
and your energy reading and worrying
about the silly stuff. Keep your focus
on what works.
Of course, sometimes the question is
about something that might actually
work for someone. For example,
"What do you think about doing
squats one week and deadlifts the
next week?"
Or, "What do you think about switching
from 5 x 5 to 10/8/6/4/2?"
Or, "What do you think about doing
deadlifts on a two-inch riser?"
Or, "What do you think about doing
body rows instead of barbell bent-
over rowing?"
Or perhaps, "What do you think about
doing weight training once a week
and bodyweight training twice a
week?"
The answer to THAT type of question
is something like this:
"I've never done that, but it's worked
well for other Dinos. Why don't you
try it and see what happens? Shoot
me an email and let me know how
it works for you."
Or:
"I tried it once and it worked well for
me. Give it a try and see if it works
for you. Keep me posted on your
results."
Or:
"I tried that, and it didn't work very
well for me. But it's worked well for
other Dinos. Give it a try and see if it
works for you. Let me know what
happens."
Notice the pattern?
If something is worth trying, the answer
is to DO IT and see what happens. If it
works for you, that's great. You've added
another arrow to your quiver.
If it doesn't work for you, that's okay. You
gave it a try, you learned something about
your body and how it responds to different
things, and you can use that knowledge to
move forward and make progress.
Remember, the key is DOING something.
Testing it. Giving it a try. And doing so with
total concentration, full focus and intense
effort.
As long as it's not goofball stuff (and most
of the stuff out there is goofball stuff), feel
free to give it a try and see what happens.
That's the only way to know.
As always, thanks for reading and have a
great day. If you train today, make it a
good one!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
