Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Today I'm going to share seven secrets for great
workouts and great gains that apply to all of us,
no matter how we train or what equipment we
use.
They're not really secrets, I suppose - but they
sure seem like it - because almost no one knows
about them.
And that's a shame.
Because these seven secrets can make all the
difference in the world for you.
1. Set a long term goal.
Goals motivate you, and inspire you to train
harder and more productively.
Don't just "train." Train with a mission.
2. Break your long term goal into a series of
short term goals.
Short term goals give you many small victories
as you work toward your long term goal -- and
the small victories keep you motivated and
enthusiastic.
3. Always show up.
In other words, don't miss a training session.
Make your workouts a regular part of your
life.
If you HAVE to miss a workout -- and in the
real world, that happens to all of us -- make
it up and stay on course.
4. Use a simple but systematic progression
system.
A progression system helps you keep taking
the small steps forward that will allow you to
hit those short term goals.
See Dinosaur Training Secrets, Vol. 3. for a
smorgasboard of old-school progression
systems for steady gains in strength,
muscle and might.
5. Focus on small steps.
Slow but steady gains are the way to achieve
seemingly superhuman results.
6. Don't second-guess yourself.
The famous frontiersman, Davy Crockett,
said it very well:
"Be sure you're right -- then go ahead!"
In other words, make a plan, and stick to
it - and don't let the Interweb silliness and
the social media chatter get you off track.
7. Concentrate!
Always train with pinpoint focus and total
concentration. Use the power of your mind
to unleash the true potential of your body.
Make no mistake about it. Learning to tap
into the power of your mind and spirit is
CRITICAL to your training.
It's the true secret of championship training
and championship performance.

one!
Yours in strength,
