Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Two quick notes and then we'll talk iron -
and cover another important tip for building
strength and muscle mass.
1. The December Dino Files Is Here!
Go here to grab the little monster - and
if you missed the Oct and Nov issues,
grab them, as well:
http://www.brookskubik.com/dinosaur_files.html
If you prefer a one year, 12-issue sub-
scription, we can make that happen.
Shoot me an email if you prefer an
annual subscription to The Dinosaur
Files.
2. Strength, Muscle and Power
We're getting near the end of the run
for the most recent printing of Strength,
Muscle and Power, and because Trudi
and I will be moving to the Pacific North-
west sometime in 2018, we won't be
doing another printing for awhile - and
perhaps not at all.
We're not down to the last box, or the
last couple of books - but we're getting
close.
So if you want a copy of the little monster,
grab it now:

3. Ultra-Abbreviated Training Programs
This is tip no. 10 in my series of emails
giving you important keys for building
strength and muscle mass.
In my most recent email, we talked about
abbreviated training - and about how
effective it is for building strength and
muscle.
Ultra-abbreviated training is the next
step - and for many trainees, it's the
most effective type of training they
can do.
Ultra-abbreviated training means you
do ONE exercise per workout - or ONE
primary exercise and some gut, grip or
neck work.
Or TWO primary exercises if they're not
super-demanding movements. For example,
you could do presses and one-arm dumbbell
rowing in one session. But don't do squats
and deadlifts in one workout.
You train two or three times a week.
You can use the same primary exercise
in each workout, or you can rotate
between two or three primary
movements.
For most trainees, it's better to rotate
between two or three different move-
ments.
For example:
Mon
1. Squats
2. Neck work
Wed
1. Military press, push press or
bench press
2. One-arm dumbbell rowing
3. Gut work
Fri
1. Bent-legged deadlift with Trap Bar or
straight bar or clean grip high pulls
2. Grip work
That doesn't sound like much work - and
it's not.
But for many trainees, its the RIGHT amount
of work.
It's what their bodies can recover from.
And remember, it's not how long or how
hard you train that matters.
What matters is whether you:
(1) stimulate gains in strength and muscle
mass,
and
(2) recover from your workout so your
muscles can grow stronger and bigger.
And that's what makes ultra-abbreviated
training so effective.
It lets your train HARD - but it also lets
you RECOVER from your workouts.
Give abbreviated training a try. It has worked
wonders for many trainees over the years -
and I've gotten tons of letters and emails
from Dinos around the world who report
great progress with ultra-abbreviated
workouts.
Yours in strength,
