Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Here the answers to yesterday’s 10 clues to help you guess the title of my new, soon to be released, strength training book:
1. The title is three words.
And remember that earlier I had said they were all one syllable words – and that they all shared one letter of the alphabet – and that other than that one letter, they had no letters in common.
2. The first word begins with the same letter as the first name of Tommy Kono’s brand new book on Olympic weightlifting.
The letter “C” – the title of Tommy’s new book (which is excellent!) is “Championship Weightlifting.”
3. The second word begins with the first letter of the stage name used by the legendary French strongman, Louis Uni.
The letter “A.” Louis Uni performed under the stage name of Apollon.
4. The third word ends with the first letter of the first name of the author of the old book, “Scientific Weightlifting” – which Bill Hinbern just released in a modern, reprint edition.
The letter “T” – Thomas Inch wrote “Scientific Weightlifting.”
5. The first word in the title is something that helps lifters.
6. The third word is something that’s often fake in the photos they use in the muscle comics.
Hmmm. Well, if they spray water on the guy to make it look like he’s sweating, the answer would be “sweat.”
7. Go to the Dinosaur Training Blog and look for a post I put up 7 – 10 days ago titled “Heavy Singles – What Works Best?” It gives you three HUGE clues. Look for what I repeat.
This sentence is repeated 3 times: “When I finished the workout I was covered with chalk, dripping with sweat, and breathing like a locomotive.”
8. When Doug Hepburn first traveled to New York City in the early 1950’s, an Iron Game author met him at the train station, and later wrote the famous words:
“So broad was he, so massive, so striking in appearance, that everyone around stopped, stood, and stared. His very carriage, his step, deliberate, yet light and springy, spelled power.”
The first letters of the author’s first, middle, and last name are the same as the first letters of the three words in the title.
The author was Charles A. Smith – so the letters are “C” – “A” – and “S.”
9. The three words in the title are the mark of a successful workout.
Go back and reread no. 7.
10. The three words in the tile will get you kicked out of 99% of the “gyms” in the world – and ALL of the chrome and fern pleasure palaces.
All the places that don’t like heavy iron, hard work, chalk – and – sweat.
Can you guess the title now?
I bet you can. Many of you already guessed it.
CHALK AND SWEAT
I don’t know about you, but I think it’s a darn good title for a book that focuses on the kind of hard, heavy, no-nonsense training we teach here at Dino Headquarters.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
P.S. I’ll reveal the winner of the “Guess the Title of My New Book Contest” next week. He did it the hard way – using the first clues I gave you way back in November.
