Hail to the Dinosaurs!
One quick note, and then we'll talk
iron.
1. A Very Big Thank You!
Our t-shirt sale ended at midnight
last night, and it was quite a
success.
I want to thank everyone who
stepped up and took action. We
appreciate it.
We're talking with our printer
today to place the order for all
the different shirts, and we'll
keep you posted about when
they will be printed and shipped.
It should be 2 to 3 weeks, but it
will depend on how many other
jobs are in front of us.
Again, to everyone who ordered a
shirt - THANK YOU!
2. Training the Power Zones.
Yesterday we talked about the
Power Zones.
That was Brad Steiner's term for
what he regarded as the four
most important areas of the body.
The areas to train as hard and
heavy as possible - with the goal
of developing each of them to the
absolute maximum.
The Power Zones are:
1. The legs and hips
2. The back
3. The shoulder girdle
4. The chest area
Steiner's preferred exercises for
training the Power Zones were
as follows.
For the legs and hips, Steiner
preferred:
1. Squats - full or parallel
2. Front squats
For the back, Steiner liked:
1. Barbell bent-over rowing
2. Power cleans
3. Power snatches
4. Bent-legged deadlifts
5. Stiff-legged deadlifts
6. High pulls - using either a clean
grip or a snatch grip
For the shoulders, Steiner
recommended:
1. Military press
2. Press behind neck
Note; Perform these in a standing
position, not seated.
For the chest, Steiner advocated:
1. Barbell bench press
2. Incline dumbbell press
Of course, you wouldn't use all of
these in one workout - or even in
one program. You'd pick three to six
movements, train them hard for a
while, and then replace some or all
of them with different exercises.
We'll cover sets and reps tomorrow.
Be looking for it.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
