Last Night's Workout

I love outdoor workouts on cool, crisp, Autumn evenings. When you're finished, you feel terrific!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Three quick notes, and then we'll
talk training.

1. The Bone Strength Project

John Wood has detailed his unique
Bone Strength training program -
which is proven to be effective by
DEXA scans - in issue no. 4 of the
Train Hard Bulletin. Go here to
grab it:

Kindle device to read Kindle
books. Amazon has a free app
that you can download, that let's
you read Kindle books on any
device.

4. Last Night's Workout

This is one of my favorite times of
the year for training. It's anywhere
from crisp and cool to downright
cold.

So I bundle up in several layers,
throw on an old knit hat (the kind
Sylvester Stallone wears when he
does roadwork in one of the Rocky
movies), slap my hands together a
couple of times, and say to myself:
"Let's do it!"

Then I set up the outdoor training
area at Dino Headquarters. That
means sweeping away the leaves
and the twigs - moving the stall
mats out of the garage, and then
moving the barbell and the plates
of the basement.

Getting set-up is a good pre-warm-
up warm-up.

Then I do the real warm-up. It lasts
about 15 minutes or so. When it's
hot, I do a 10 minute warm-up, but
I add 5 minutes when it's cool or
cold.

And then I train.

Last night I did split style snatches.

As always, I started light and worked
up slowly and steadily, focusing on
speed and perfect form on each lift.

I do three to five singles at each
weight in my progression. So the
whole workout is a long series of
singles.

I rest about one minute between
sets.

I don't time it. It just works out to
about one minute. Sometimes a bit
more if I add weight before the next
set.

I film each rep. After the set is over,
I watch the lift on video, looking at
my form, and focusing on things I
can do to make the next lift faster,
smoother and more explosive.

Last night's workout took about an
hour and 15 minutes - and when it
was finished, I felt GREAT.

There's nothing like a hard workout
on a cool, crisp Autumn evening to
perk you up and get your blood
moving.

I put the weights away, moved the
stall mats back into the garage,
locked up, and went upstairs.

Trudi had dinner ready when I
walked in the door.

That was a bit of a surprise, but
hey, I'll take it.

After all - I earned that dinner.

As always, thanks for reading and
have a great day. If you train
today, make it a good one!

Sets and Reps - What Works Best?

 

Like all old-time champions, John Grimek used a variety of set/rep systems - but over time, he found what worked best for him on any given exercise.

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

For some reason, I've been getting a
lot of questions about sets and reps.

Here are some of the most common
questions -- and my answers to them.

Q. How do I build up to doing heavy
singles?

A. Do 5 x 5 for three months, and then
do 5/4/3/2/1 for three months.

Or do 5 x 5 for three months, followed
by three months of 5 x 5, 1 x 3 and
1 x 1.

Q. You always talk about 5 x 5 -- but
what if I need to do more warm-up
sets?

A. Go ahead and do them. If it turns
out to be 6 x 5 or 7 x 5, that's fine.

Q. Does 5 x 5 mean you do five sets
with your heaviest possible weight?

A. No, it means you do a series of
progressively heavier warm-up sets
followed by 3 working sets with your
top weight -- or 2 working sets -- or
one working set.

Some related points:

Over the course of a training cycle,
you can move from 3 x 5 working
sets to 1 x 5. (This can be very
effective, especially for advanced
Dinos.)

You can do 3 x 5 in light weeks, 2 x 5
in medium weeks, and 1 x 5 in heavy
weeks. (In other words, vary the
number of work sets depending on
whether you are in a light week, a
medium week or a heavy week.)

The stronger you are, and the heavier
you train, the fewer work sets you
need (or can stand).

Older trainees usually do better on
one working set in any exercise.

Squats and deadlifts usually work
best with one working set.

Working sets are heavy sets but
not necessarily maximum effort
sets.

Q. Do heavy singles work well for
all exercises?

A. They work best for squats, front
squats, deadlifts, Trap Bar deadlifts,
bottom position bench press, bottom
position squats, push presses, military
presses, cleans, snatches and the
clean and press or the clean and
jerk.

Curls, shrugs, and lat exercises
usually work better with sets of
five or six reps.

Gut work and neck work is best if
you do sets of 8 to 15 reps. Ditto
for calf work.

Grip work varies depending on what
you do.

Q. When you do heavy singles, do
you lift your maximum possible weight
in your top set?

A. No, you do a series of progressively
heavier sets and work up to a weight
that is heavy, demanding and makes
you focus and work -- but it's not
your absolute max.

Q. Can I skip the warm-up sets to
save time?

A. No, warm-up sets are important.

If you don't have time to do warm-up
sets, you don't have time to train.

Q. What's the best system of sets
and reps?

A. There isn't one. The best system
of sets and reps for YOU will depend
on a variety of factors, and it will
change over time. It also will vary
from exercise to exercise.

Don't agonize over finding "the best"
way to train. Find a GOOD way, and
work it hard. You'll do just fine.

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

The Relationship Between Bone Strength and Muscle Mass

Mr. Universe Reg Park shows the link between thick, powerful wrists and massive forearms and upper arms.

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Experts have known about the direct
relationship between bone strength
(or bone mass) and muscle mass for
well over 100 years.

Alan Calvert wrote about it in a little
pamphlet published by the Milo Bar-
Bell Company.

Calvert noted that an adult man who
begins progressive strength training
with barbells and dumbbells should
be able to build a forearm that is
1 7/8 times the size of his wrist.

Calvert also noted that a man should
be able to build an upper arm that is
20 percent larger than his forearm.

In other words - a bigger, thicker
wrist means you have the potential
to build bigger, more massive
forearms and upper arms.

And the same holds true through-
out your entire body.

Larger, thicker and stronger bones
allow you to build larger, thicker
and stronger muscles.

That's true for the forearms and upper
arms, and it's true for the legs and hips,
the chest, the shoulders and the back
muscles.

This is one reason why John Wood's
Bone Strength Project is so interesting.

It's a complete system of specialization
on building the bones.

After you massify your bones, you go
back to more conventional training -
and the increased bone mass allows
you to build more strength and muscle
mass than ever before.

In other words, it's a way of increasing
your potential for strength and muscle
mass.

You can't choose your parents - and
you can't change your genes - but
you CAN increase your bone mass.
You just need to follow the right kind
of program.

That's the Bone Strength Project in a
nutshell. A bone mass program.

Very cool stuff - and well worth learning
about - and adding to your own training
program.

A Common Pattern Among Great Champions

World and Olympic champion John Davis hits a heavy clean and jerk at Muscle Beach way back in the late 1940's or early 1950's.

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Two quick notes and then we'll talk
iron.

1. The Bone Strength Project

I told you about this yesterday - and
many of you have grabbed issue no.
4 of the Train Hard Bulletin to see
for yourself just how exciting this new
program is.

Go here to grab a copy - you'll be very
happy you did:

https://www.oldtimestrongman.com/bone-strength-projectPDF.html

As I mentioned, this is a very
unique and unusual program.

In fact, it's unlike anything I've
ever seen before - and the results
 are documented in John Wood's
DEXA scans, which show an
enormous increase in bone
mass over the past couple of
years - in a man who's going
to be age 40 pretty soon.

That's pretty much unheard of,
but as I said, this is a very unique
and very effective program.

2. Strength Training Q and A

Go here to grab vols. 1 and 2 in
my Strength Training Q and A
series. We've been getting great
feedback on them:

of the Dinosaur Files newsletter is
a special bonus when you order vol.
2 in the series.

3. A Common Pattern

John Grimek trained in his backyard,
at midnight, after getting off his
second shift job.

In the winter, he moved his weights
up to the attic and trained there.

He became the best developed man
of his generation - and many believe
he was the greatest bodybuilder of
all time.

John Davis got started by working
out on the pull-up bar, rings and
other apparatus in a small park in
Brooklyn.

Later, he trained at a friend's house,
using a basic barbell and dumbbell
set.

As a World and Olympic champion,
he trained alone in the basement
of a church in Brooklyn.

He was the greatest weightlifter of
his generation.

Tommy Kono started training while
he and his family were in an intern-
ment camp for Japanese-American
citizens during World War II. He used
a basic York barbell and dumbbell set.

The guys at the camp pooled their
money to buy it. They didn't have
money or room for anything else.
They put the weights in the back
corner of a tent or barracks room
where they did the laundry!

Later, Kono trained in a YMCA that had
the standard, old-school barbells and
dumbbells of the day. The weights were
next to the boxing ring, and he had to
block out the rat-tat-tat of the speed
bag as he set himself for snatches
and cleans.

When he was a World and Olympic
champion, Kono trained in the basement
of his house in Hawaii. It featured a dirt
floor, a few boards to stand on, and home-
made wooden squat stands and benches.

He didn't have lifting chalk, so he kept
his hands dry by rubbing them against
the dirt floor in between sets.

Many believe he was the greatest weight-
lifter of all time.

Reg Park began training at his parents'
house in Leeds, England. He kept his
equipment outside and trained in the
back yard. In the winter, he covered
the equipment with a tarp to keep the
snow off of it. He had to wear two
heavy sweat suits to stay warm when
he trained out in the cold!

Park went on to win the Mr. Universe
title three times - and to become one
of the greatest bodybuilders in the
history of the Iron Game.

There's a common pattern here.

Can you spot it?

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

all had what I call the Iron Will to
Succeed. You can read about it

The Bone Strength Project

Paul Anderson may have been the strongest man who ever lived - but he probably would have been even stronger if he had followed the Bone Strength Program!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

A couple of months ago I attended a
special invitation-only strength training
seminar hosted by my good friends,
John Wood and Kim Wood.

One of the highlights of the program
was John Wood's detailed review of
the Bone Strength Project.

The Bone Strength Project is pretty
much exactly what it sounds like.

John has devised a specialized
training program to strengthen,
thicken and add mass to his
skeletal structure.

In other words, to increase his
bone mass - and his bone strength.

The theory being, for every small
increase in bone density, your body
increases its potential for muscle
mass by something like six pounds.

Not to mention, thicker and stronger
bones help you avoid injuries.

And thicker and stronger bones help
you age better. You stand tall and
erect - and you walk like a man,
not an ape. Even at an advanced
age.

John's been doing his special
program for a couple of years
now, and he had a ton of very
interesting findings to share
with us.

It was actually funny.

You had a roomful of 20 or 30
guys who have spent their entire
lives involved in serious strength
training - and they were literally
sitting on the edge of their seats,
straining to hear every word -
and making tons of notes - and
asking a bajillion questions.

Two things about the program:

1. It works. John shared his before
and after DEXA scans, and they
prove it.

a. They also shocked the heck out of
his doctor - because John is supposed
to be way too old to increase his bone
mass (or his height - which also
happened) - but hey, Iron Slingers
been shocking their doctors for a
long time, and why should we stop
now?

2. The program is unlike anything
I've ever seen before - or read about -
or heard about.

a. Yeah, it's similar to things that
other people have done before - but
there's a very important difference,
and to my knowledge, John is the
only person who ever did what he's
doing in the way that he's doing it.

Anyhow, it's a GREAT program -
and it will definitely give you some
serious food for thought.

You can get the details in one of two
ways.

First, you can grab a copy of issue no.
4 of the Train Hard Bulletin - which
covers the Bone Strength Project
in detail.

It's available right here in a down-
loadable PDF for just about the price
of a fancy mocha frothy capucino
pumpkin pie latte coffee and a
cranberry banana muffin:

https://www.oldtimestrongman.com/bone-strength-projectPDF.html

The other option is to join
The Iron League:

https://www.ironleague.com

You see, issue no. 4 of the Train
Hard Bulletin is available for all
Iron League members - along
with tons of great strength training
and muscle building books, courses,
and magazines.

The Iron League also includes my
old Dinosaur Training DVD's - as
well as some other material of
mine that you won't find anywhere
else.

So if you join the Iron League,
you get everything there is to
know about strengthening and
thickening your bones - along
with a library of other goodies.

Remember, building the muscles
is important.

But so is building the bones.

Always do both - and aim to make
both your muscles and your bones
as strong as possible.

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

Who Won the Big Dumbbell Pressing Contest?

 

Did you ever hear about the big dumbbell pressing contest between Mr. America and Mr. Universe, John Grimek (pictured above), and World and Olympic Weightlifting Champion, Tommy Kono?

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Back in the 1950's, Tommy Kono and
John Grimek challenged one another
to a dumbbell pressing contest at the
old York Barbell Club Gym.

The rules were simple.

Each man was to clean a pair of 110
pound dumbbells - sit down on a flat
bench - and perform as many reps as
possible in the seated alternate dumbbell
press.

At the time, Kono was the reining Olympic
and World weightlifting champion - and a
World record holder in the military press.
Grimek was the greatest bodybuilder of
the era - recently retired - and a former
American record holder in the military
press.

Grimek was also a specialist in the
alternate dumbbell press. It was one
of his favorite exercises. he'd been
doing it with big weights for many
years.

Kono was the younger man - but
Grimek was the heavier man.

Kono went first. He cleaned the dumb-
bells, sat on the bench, and began to
power them up and down, his powerful
arms pumping like pistons.

He finished somewhere in the high
teens.

That's a lot of reps with a pair of 110
pound dumbbells.

Then it was Grimek's turn.

He cleaned the bells, sat down, and
started to blast them up and down.

He, too, finished somewhere in the
high teens.

Strength and Health reported on the
contest.

The report said that the two men
couldn't agree who won the contest.

Grimek said he won.

Kono said he won.

It was something about someone
not counting a rep, or a rep not
counting because it wasn't locked
out - or something like that.

Fifty years later, I was talking with
Tommy Kono to get his input for a
course I was doing on the old-school
military press.

I asked him about the contest - and
about who really won.

Kono chuckled.

"I thought I did," he said. "But Grimek
thought he did."

"Yeah, but who really won?" I asked.

Kono chuckled.

"I thought I did," he said. "But Grimek
thought he did."

And just like that, he left the big
mystery unsolved.

We'll never know who really won -
or if it was a tie.

But we do know this:

That was a heck of a day for the Iron
Game - and a great contest between
two legendary champions.

Brooks Kubik

3. Make the Most of What You
Have!

There's a great true story about the
famous bodybuilder and strongman,
Chuck Sipes.

Sipes was an IFBB Mr. America and
Mr. World winner - great physique -
and a real strongman. He used to
do strongman shows after his posing
routine. Broke chains, bent big iron
bars, and did other fun stuff. Very
impressive.

Sipes bench pressed 585 pounds
back when a 600 pound bench
press was super-human. And he
only weighed around 220 pounds!

There's a great photo that shows
him lying under the back of a great
big pick-up truck - doing bench
press lockouts with the thing!

And - get this - Sipes did most of
his training at home - just like so
many Dinosaurs like to do!

Anyhow, Sipes grew up doing a lot
of hiking, camping, and lumberjack
work in the mountains of Northern
California and Oregon.

He kept on hiking and camping his
entire life.

One time, he and a friend were way
out in the mountains, and got caught
in a big snow storm.

Not to worry - they had a great little
survival tent, food, water, and plenty
of wood for the fire.

But they were stuck in the tent with
nowhere to go.

Sipes decided to pass the time with
a workout.

He didn't have any weights, of
course, but he didn't need them.

He did isometrics and dynamic
tension.

He did pushups, sit-ups, deep knee
bends and other calisthenics.

He had brought a rubber chest
expander, so he used that for
extra arm and shoulder work.

Sipes trained for several hours,
inside the tent, in the middle of
a raging blizzard - and he got a
terrific workout.

The next day, the men hiked back
down - and the following day Sipes
hit it hard and heavy in his home
gym.

That was a classic example of
making the most of what you
have - and it's an important
lesson for all of us.

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

Rainy Day Workouts

 

It's raining cats and dogs today - and it will stay that way all day long - so today's workout will be squats down in the basement.

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Two quick notes and then we'll talk
iron.

1. The Old-School Strength Training
Q and A


Do you have volumes 1 and 2 in
my Old School Strength Training
Q and A series?

If not, you can grab them right
here:

Vol. 1 in my Old-School Strength Q and A series has been a big hit - and so has vol. 2!

http://www.brookskubik.com/oldschool-qanda.html

And remember, there's a special bonus
with vol. 2 - a copy of the October 2017
issue of The Dinosaur Files newsletter.

2. Back Issues of Strength and
Health

We still have some six issue sets of
Strength and Health magazine
from the 1940's.

The November 1940 issue of Strength and Health - with rugged Louis Abele on the cover.

They're $60.00 plus s&h for each
set.

Old issues of Strength and Health
are a gold-mine of training advice -
and they give you a very clear
picture of what a man can do
for himself with nothing but a
barbell, dumbbells and squat
stands - as well as showing you
what old-fashioned, drug-free
muscular development looks
like.

If you're interested, shoot me
an email.

The outdoor lifting area at Dino Headquarters. It's not fancy, but it gets the job done.

3. Rainy Day Workouts

If I had my druthers, I'd be outside
doing snatches or clean and jerks
this afternoon - training in the out-
side lifting area at Dino Headquarters -
a/k/a some heavy rubber mats on the
drive-way behind our duplex.

I train there because I much prefer
to train at home - alone - where I can
focus and concentrate on what I'm
doing.

I do overhead lifting outside because
the garage floor slopes and has a big
drain in the middle - and the ceiling
in the basement is too low for over-
head lifting.

Rubber mats on a driveway are not
ideal, but they're not too bad.

You can do quite a bit with a minimal
amount of equipment - and you can
have a lot of fun doing it.

Anyhow, as I said, my preference
would be to train outside today and
do overhead lifting.

But it's raining cats and dogs right
now - and it's supposed to keep on
raining all day long - so I'm going
to stay inside and do squats in the
basement.

The indoor training area at Dino Headquarters. It's amazing what you can do with a minimum amount of basic equipment and a relatively small place to train.

I have my squat stands set up and
ready to go - right next to the old
beater bar I use for squats - and
next to the wooden plate-holding
frame my stepson Dan built for me
as a Christmas present a couple of
years ago.

So I'm all set.

Barbell, basement, lifter.

Is it perfect?

No - but it's pretty darn good.

And I'm looking forward to it.

Wherever you are, I hope you're
thinking along similar lines - and
getting ready to make the most
of each and every training day -
including the rainy days!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

P.S. For more details about why
I train at home - and for more
about making your workouts
fun and effective in adverse
circumstances, take a look at
chapters 14 and 25 in Strength,
Muscle and Power:

I'm not sure how many great workouts and training programs are featured in this book, but I know there are lots of them!

on training."
