| World and Olympic Champion Paul Anderson had massive bones - and his bone mass gave him the perfect foundation for building superhuman strength and power. |
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
What's the difference between an
Olympic shot putter and an average
man?
It's six pounds.
Six pounds of bone mass.
Scientists have measured the bone
mass of Olympic shot-putters - all
of whom are essentially Heavyweight
weightlifters - and on average their
skeletons are about 6 or 6 1/2 pounds
heavier than the skeleton of an average
man.
That bone mass is directly linked to
muscle mass.
The greater your bone mass, the more
muscle mass you can build.
The ratio is about 1:5. In other words,
if you add one pound of bone mass to
your body, you have increased your
potential for muscle mass by five or
six pounds.
So the Olympic shot-putters had the
potential for about 30 to 35 pounds
more muscle mass than they would
have had with lighter bone structure.
That's one of the reasons why heavy
training is so important.
Heavy training builds bone mass -
and increased bone mass helps lay
the foundation for increased muscle
mass.
And this is why John Wood's Bone
Strength Project is so intriguing.
It's a detailed training system that's
specifically designed to increase your
bone mass through a specialized
training program.
No drugs - no special diet - just a
special training program.
One that's simple to understand,
easy to learn, and simple to do -
although as you might expect, it
involves some very hard and very
demanding workouts.
And the program really works. In
fact, it works amazingly well.
John had his bone mass measured by
state of the art DEXA scans before he
began the program - and then at regular
intervals while he was on the program -
and the DEXA scans proved that he had
increased his bone mass significantly.
And this was for a man in his mid to
late 30's - a former Big 10 football
player, who has been training hard,
heavy and serious for pretty much
his entire life.
So an increase in bone mass was a
very unusual thing. His doctor couldn't
believe it. (Sorry, Doc - but unusual
training methods can lead to unusual
results.)
Luckily, the program is not secret. I
can do it - you can do it - the entire
Dino Nation can do it (and probably
should).
John has written the Bone Strength
program up in issue no. 4 of the Train
Hard Bulletin.
You can grab it right here - and it's
very much worth grabbing. The Bone
Strength Project is a game-changer:

I'm going to incorporate some Bone
Strength training into my own work-
outs, and I'll keep you posted on the
results.
If you try the program, let me know
how it works for you!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
