Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Many of you are asking about my new training course: what's in it, what does it cover, what will it teach me?
So I thought I'd share the Introduction to the little monster - because that will give you the answer.
By the way, you can grab the Kindle edition of the new course right here:
We'll release the course in hard-copy as soon as we get it formatted.
The hard-copy (paperback) edition will be printed and shipped by Amazon. I 'll send a link when the hard-copy edition is ready.
And get this - if you're an Amazon Prime customer, you get free shipping - which is hard to beat!

INTRODUCTION
I began
writing for Stuart McRobert’s Hardgainer magazine back in 1991, and began to
receive training questions from readers almost immediately. In 1996, I published Dinosaur Training, Lost
Secrets of Strength and Development, and the questions doubled or tripled – and
then the Internet arrived on the scene, and soon everyone had email, and before
you knew it, I was getting hundreds of questions every week. That’s continued to the present time, and it
will probably last for the rest of my life.
I’ve always
tried to answer questions as they come in.
Sometimes I send a short personal response. And other times, when
several readers have the same or similar questions, or when it looks like
something that many readers might be wondering about, I answer it in my daily
emails and post it on the Dinosaur Training Blog. (If you’re not already getting my emails, go
to my website at www.brookskubik.com and sign up for them. They’re a great way
to stay up to date with the latest news from Dinosaur Headquarters – and they
give you a goldmine of training advice.)
Questions
from readers are very important. If one
person sends me a question, there are probably hundreds of others who have the
same question. So when I answer one
person’s question, I’m really answering a question for hundreds or perhaps
thousands of your fellow Dinos around the world.
My
experience in this regard is hardly unique.
Every Iron Game magazine for the past 100 or more years has run question
and answer columns and articles, and some of the top names in the business have
spent plenty of time answering training questions from readers. The list includes Eugene Sandow, Bernarr MacFadden,
Alan Calvert, Mark Berry, George F. Jowett, Bob Hoffman, Harry Paschall, Peary
Rader, John McCallum and John Grimek.
Interestingly,
many of the questions that trainees asked 100 or more years ago are almost
identical to the questions that trainees are asking today. It seems that trainees today have the same
questions and concerns that trainees had 50, 60 or even 100 years ago. And that makes sense, because the human body
is the same today as it was then – and barbells and dumbbells are the same today
as they were then – and the basics of building strength, muscle and power are
the same today as they were when Arthur Saxon thrilled the world with his
amazing feats of strength.
I was
talking about this with my good friend, John Wood, who runs the Old-time
Strongman, Functional Hand Strength and Trap Bar Training sites (as well as his
new member site, The Iron League). John
suggested that I begin a series of short books collecting my answers to various
training questions that might be of interest to a large number of
trainees. That sounded like a good idea,
so I rolled up my sleeves and got started.
This is the
first book in that series. I hope you
enjoy it, and I hope it answers some of the questions that you might have.
I also hope
that you’ll help me with future books in this series by continuing to ask
training questions. You can send them to
me at info@brookskubik.com. Don’t be shy
– we love to hear from you.
Yours in
strength,
Brooks Kubik
