Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Two quick notes, and then let's talk training.
Note No. 1 --
I'm getting great feedback from Dinos who want
to attend a Dinosaur Strength Training Seminar
in 2012.
If you're interested, shoot me an email and let
me know where you live, any nearby cities you
could get to easily, topics you'd like me to
cover, and any ideas about gyms to use as
seminar venues.
If you own a gym and you'd like to host a
Dinosaur Training Seminar, let me know asap.
Note No. 2 --
We're getting tons of Holiday orders from wives,
girlfriends, sisters, and moms -- and I always
try to email back and ask if they want me to
autograph the book or course, and if so, the
name of the person who is getting it so I can
personalize what I say.
That takes time, though -- so if someone is
ordering a present for you, pls ask them to
ASK FOR AN AUTOGRAPH -- and let me know who
is getting the present. Use the Special
Instructions section of the on-line order
form to request the autograph.
Someday, those autographed books and courses
will be worth much wampum! Some of the autographed
first editions of Dinosaur Training (I numbered and
signed all 3,000 of the first edition) are
selling for crazy numbers now (like 100 or 150
clams).
TRAINING TALK
When I was a high school wrestler, I noticed that
the really good wrestlers -- the top guys in the
district or the state -- fell into two distinct
groups.
Group one included the guys who had an amazing
number of different moves -- and they were really
good at all of them. You never knew what they were
going to hit you with.
Group two included guys who had one or two bread
and butter moves -- usually simple ones -- and they
worked them and worked them until they were
unstoppable.
Both methods worked. Both methods produced champions.
Strength training is similar.
Some guys do best if they use a wide variety of
different exercises. Not in the same workout, but over
the course of the year. Six weeks on one program, and
then change things around a bit.
Or use military press as your primary pushing movement
for awhile -- and then switch to alternate dumbbell
presses - and then train on incline presses -- and
then use push presses -- and then use the clean and
press.
Other lifters do best if they stick to one workout for
a long period of time -- or if they stick to one exercise
for a long period of time. They need to work the exercise
until they master it completely -- and then they need to
squeeze every last drop of benefit out of the movement.
I know where I fall (the latter group) -- but only YOU
know where you fall.
It's important to figure it out. It's part of what makes
you a distinct individual with a very distinct "best
approach" to training.
So think about it -- and decide which approach works better
for YOU!
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. I offer many different exercises, different workouts,
and different ways to train in my various books, courses
and DVD's -- and in the Dinosaur Files newsletter -- but
one thing is certain: every single one of them will
build T-Rex levels of strength, muscle and power:

P.S. 2. Remember, if you want an autograph, all you need to
do is ask for it!
P.S. 3. Thought for the Day: "Every person is a unique
individual, but the basics work best for everyone." -- Brooks
