Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Two quick notes, and then we'll talk
training.
The Feb Dino Files . . .
is just about finished. I did my final
edits yesterday. We were a page short,
so I did some fast typing and added the
missing words. Now we're at 12 pages,
which is a very big issue.
I'll send an email as soon as the little
monster is ready for you.
In the meantime, if you missed the Oct,
Nov, Dec and Jan issues, grab them here
so you have the complete set:

By the way, if you prefer a one-year,
12-issue subscription, we can make
that happen. Send me an email and
I'll tell you how to do it.
The John Wood Report
Have you seen the first issue of The John
Wood report?
It's really good. 12 pages - a quick read -
with some great training tips - including
some things that you won't see anywhere
else.

Some Quick Thoughts on Strength
Training
I thought I'd do something a little different
today and share some nuggets rather than
doing a long post on a single topic.
So here are some quick thoughts on
strength training.
1. Nothing beats the basics, but some
of us do better if we modify them a little -
especially older trainees with dings and
dents.
2. When you try a new exercise, you are
a beginner for that exercise - so start light
and easy, and make gradual, slow and
steady progress on it.
3. A burning desire to succeed is the key
to great results from your training.
4. Rest days are more than merely okay -
they're an important part of your weekly
schedule.
5. No one has ever done a true long-term
study on the effect of life-long, drug-free
strength training - but we don't need a
study to tell us that it's a good thing.
6. After a certain age, it doesn't matter
what you're lifting as long as you're still
lifting.
7. From day one in your career, make
bone strength a priority.
8. If it's impossible to do both strength
training and cardio training (as some
believe), then how do wrestlers develop
superb levels of strength, power and
conditioning?
9. What works for me may or may not
work as well for you - but it will probably
work pretty darn well.
10. Think, plan, take action, evaluate
the results, and make any necessary
adjustments. Nothing ever happens
by accident.
I could keep going for a very long time,
but that's enough for today. I hope you
enjoyed these nuggets.
As always, thanks for reading and have a
great day. If you train today, make it a
good one.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
