Hail to the Dinosaurs!
A Big Thank You!
Let me start with a big THANK YOU to
everyone who stepped up, took action,
and ordered my new Dinosaur Secrets
training course yesterday.
We had a great day, and smashed our
previous records for e-book sales in one
day.
We also shot the little monster right up
to no. 1 in Amazon's Top 10 list for Kindle
e-books in the Men's Health category.
Plus, we made it to no. 2 in the Sports and
Outdoors category -- and no. 3 in Health,
Fitness and Dieting.
And in Australia, we made it to no. 1 in two
of the top 10 lists.
And that's not bad for one day.
By the way, you can help that process just
by going to our Kindle page and looking at
the e-book -- and by posting a review -- or
even by reading and rating the reviews that
other people post.
In any case, THANK YOU for your support.
It was overwhelming, and it means more
than I can tell you.
How Does Your Training Make You Feel?
On the training front, let's talk about the
three measures of training progress.
Bradley J. Steiner wrote about this more
than 40 years ago. I read his words when
I was in high school, and I thought he made
a lot of sense. Over the years, I've come to
agree with him more and more.
Steiner said there were three ways to
measure the effectiveness of your training:
1. How you look.
2. What you lift.
3. How you feel.
Of these, he believed the third element -- how
you feel -- was the most important.
I agree with that.
One of the problems with modern bodybuilding
is that the focus is 100% on the first element --
on how you look.
That's important, but it's not the MOST
important.
What you lift -- in other words, how strong you
are -- is just as important (if not more so) than
how you look.
But most important of all is how you feel.
Your training should make you feel terrific.
It should energize your body from head to
toe.
Clear out the cobwebs.
Banish aches and pains.
Put the smackdown on the minor illnesses that
most people experience on a more or less
regular basis.
Fill you with that wonderful "It's great to be
alive" feeling that everyone knows but few
experience.
Fill you with optimism, courage and quiet
confidence.
Bob Hoffman's first book had a title that captured
it all: "How to be Strong, Healthy and Happy."
To me, that's the goal of physical training --
and the very best measure of the effectiveness
of your training program.
Of course -- and this is very important -- none
of that is going to happen if you over-train. If
you over-do things, your training wears you
down, and over time, it makes you feel WORSE
rather than BETTER.
That's one of the big problems with the super
programs, the high volume workouts, and the
spend all day in the gym approach -- and it's
one of the reasons I always promote sane,
sensible training and real world workouts.
As always, thanks for reading and have a great
day. If you train today, make it a good one!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik

should always make you feel better than if
you didn't train. If not, there's something
wrong with how you're training." -- Brooks
