Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Three quick updates and then a special Dino
Quiz -- with a prize for the winner (if
there is a winner, which I doubt -- you guys
are good, but this is a tough quiz).
Here are the three updates:
1. There's still time to order Dinosaur Bodyweight
Training and grab the pre-publication bonus, but
you need to act soon:
http://www.brookskubik.com/dinosaur_bodyweight.html
2. We're on target to ship Dinosaur Bodyweight
Training right around mid-November, so for
everyone who ordered a copy, it won't be long now.
As soon as I get the books, I'll fire them right
out the door to you. And as always, we'll fill the
orders in the same order we received them.
3. Dinosaur Arm Training was our most popular
product in September -- and again in October --
and the reviews have been great. If you missed it
earlier, we still have plenty of copies:

And now -- here's that Quiz -- and the contest.
The FIRST person to get ALL of the correct answers
will win a free autographed copy of Legacy of Iron or
any other book or course that we sell at Dino
Headquarters -- OR a free Dinosaur training
t-shirt.
The contest ends at midnight EST on Monday, 10/31/2011.
One answer per question -- and one set of answers per
reader. Send your answers to me at Dino Headquarters.
Good luck. This one is a toughie!
OLD SCHOOL TRAINING ADVICE
Name the person or persons who said:
1. "My first pointer is this: Don't overdo."
2. "Resolve to go easy; for bodybuilding must
be a gradual process."
3. "Always incorporate the progressive element
when it is practicable; make the work harder,
or longer, or more difficult -- advance in
some way. This is the great 'secret' of
physical strength and development by exercise."
4. "When your exercise is heavy, like wrestling
or weightlifting, the every-other-day plan will
suit most persons."
5. "If you are exercising for development
primarily, intense concentration of the
muscles is of great help."
6. "Do not do your extreme best on an exercise or
feat more than two or three times a month."
7. "Avoid staleness. When you have no heart for
your training, or when you seem to tire too easily,
take three or four days rest and avoid all thought
of exercise."
8. "Sleep is the best thing in the world for
avoiding staleness and for hastening the results
of exercise. Sleep is the energizer par excellance
for the athlete and the bodybuilder. I cannot say
enough in its favor."
9. "I have found it a good plan to take a certain
number of deep breaths between movements while I am
resting the muscles. But deep breathing WHILE you
are doing heavy leg work is of especial value."
10. "Don't neglect to strengthen the feet and ankles.
They bear the weight of the whole physique. When a
140-pound man succeeds in adding 40 or 50 pounds of
weight to his body, it is no wonder the ankles feel
it. Strengthen them as you go along."
There you have it -- 10 old-school training tips --
can you guess the person or persons who said them?
Remember, the FIRST reader to get all 10 correct
answers is the winner. So -- get ready -- get set --
GO!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
