Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I had a great workout last night,
and I thought I'd tell you about
it.
It was one of those old school
workouts you see so often here
at Dino Headquarters.
I started with 10 minutes of
stretching and loosening up drills.
These include things like overhead
squats with a broomstick, shoulder
dislocates, and even some slow speed
snatches.
Next, I did old-school, split style
snatches - or Retro snatches, as Jim
Schmitz calls them. At age 60, I find
that these are working better for me
than squat snatches. They're much
easier on my shoulders.

And they're fast and fun. I really like
them.
I did singles, even on the warm-up
sets, striving for perfect form and
a precise movement pattern.
Next, I did snatch grip high pulls.
After that, I did front squats.
And that was it.
The entire workout took about one hour
and twenty minutes.
Today's a rest day, and the day after
that will be another training day. I'll
do a different workout, with different
exercises, but it will be pretty similar.

| 60 to 90 minutes of hard training 3x a week will work wonders - for anyone, at any age. |
That's the way it is at Dino Headquarters:
basic OL training 3x per week. In other
words, me and the barbell -- some chalk
and sweat -- and not much else.
I'm sure your workout is different -- but
in many ways, it's quite similar. That's
because Dinos focus on the important
things.
They focus on the iron. And they focus on
getting it done.
That's what I did last night. I got it
done. Went out to the garage, chalked
my hands, grabbed the bar and had a
great workout. And that's what Dinos
do.
As always, thanks for reading and have a
great day. If you train today, make it a
good one.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
