Hail to the Dinosaurs!
A couple of quick things for you.
1. Dinosaur Mindpower
I covered a very important topic -- the
mental aspects of strength training -- in
an interview yesterday on SuperHuman Radio.
If you missed the live broadcast, you can
listen to it here -- at no charge. It's a
public service announcement for Dinos. You
can find the interview on the Superhuman
Radio website.
2. Older Lifters
I continue to get emails from older lifters
who want to know how to keep on training as
they move up in years.
The most important thing for older lifters to
do is to balance the amount and intensity of
their training with their ability to recover
from it.
For older lifters, recovery is everything.
If in doubt, go lighter and easier and less
often.
Use a simple cycling system where you have light,
medium and heavy days -- or light, medium and
heavy weeks. And remember that your light days
are ten times harder and heavier than what 99%
of the population (at any age) can do.
For more details, see Gray Hair and Black Iron.
It's solid gold for older lifters:

3. Iron Game History
If you've read any of my books, you know that I'm
a big fan of old time lifters and Iron Game heroes
from "back in the day."
I cover the great champions of the 1930's and 1940's in
the Legacy of Iron series. There are five books in the
series so far, with more to come.
If you're new to the Legacy of Iron books, start with
volume 1 -- Legacy of Iron - and work forward from there.
You need to read them in sequence to follow the story.

I also cover Iron Game history in my Doug Hepburn Training
course. It covers the life and lifting -- and the training
methods -- of the Canadian Hercules:

And then we have the new kid on the block -- a massive book
(over 400 pages) covering the life, lifting and training of
the legendary John Davis -- who may have been the greatest
Olympic weightlifter of all time:

The John Davis book is being offered with a pre-publication
special. It should be printed and ready to ship in about 6
weeks. I'm including a special bonus with all pre-publication
orders.
You'll see more Iron Game history from Dino Headquarters over
the coming months -- as well as more hard-hitting, no-nonsense
strength training books and courses.
So as you can see, we've been very busy here at Dino Headquarters.
And we're going to stay busy -- because we're committed to bringing
you the very best in strength training, physical culture and Iron
Game history.
As always, thanks for reading, and have a great day. If you train
today, make it a good one.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
P.S. Remember to listen to the radio interview -- it's a good one!
