Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Three quick notes, and then we'll talk
training.
1. The Dinosaur Files
We just released the Nov-Dec issue of the
Dinosaur Files in PDF format - and readers
are loving it.
Go here to grab your copy of the little
monster:

2. Christmas Orders - It's Getting Close!
We bought a Christmas tree yesterday,
and that means that it's getting close to
the big day - so please get those orders
in so we can fill them for you. The big
storm is slowing down mail delivery a
bit, so don't delay.
3. Something for Older Dinos
Last year we did a great new mini-course
on effective training for older Dinos --
with a brand new workout. It's available
in PDF with immediate electronic delivery:

Many of you already have this little
gem, but if you don't, grab it now. I
Know you'll like it.
4. How Long Should a Workout Take?
I get tons of emails from readers who want
to know how long a workout should take.
They've read about two, three, four and
even five hour workouts -- and about
'"champions" who supposedly train all
day long -- and they wonder how they
can fit all that training into their schedules.
Some trainees even give up and QUIT
because they think they have to train for
several hours in every workout, and they
don't know how they can do it.
It's frustrating, because trainees have been
facing this issue for over 50 years -- and
the answer has been out there for just as
long -- but most trainees still don't get
it.
That's because the good information gets
lost in a sea of bad advice. Or nowadays, in
a cyber-sea of bad advice.
And that's why we all need to keep beating
the drum for sane, sensible, effective and
productive strength training and muscle
building.
So let me do exactly that.
Fifty years ago, Bradley J. Steiner, Peary
Rader, Arthur Jones, and a small handful
of other writers told their readers:
1. Long workouts are not necessary.
2. Most trainees actually do better on
shorter workouts.
3. You can get a terrific, result producing
workout in just 45 to 60 minutes.
a. You even can do it in 30 minutes.
b. Or 20 minutes.
4. Of course, you need to make every
minute count.
a. You need to focus on QUALITY in your
training.
b. Focus on the best exercises -- and follow
the best set/rep systems.
c. Train with concentration and focus.
5. Train for strength. Always try to get
stronger. Always work on improving your
performance from workout to workout.
My own workouts usually take 50 to 75
minutes. Most of them clock in at right
around one hour.
That's one hour, three times a week.
And it works great.
Give it a try, and see what happens!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik

LONG you train, it's HOW you train that
counts." -- Brooks Kubik
