Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Yesterday was a Red Letter Day here
at Dino Headquarters.
My stepson came over and helped me
set up my new power rack.
It's a big one - industrial strength - so
it was definitely a two-person job.
I haven't had a rack for a long time now,
and I'm looking forward to having some
great workouts with the new one.
I had a nice rack before, but I sold it to
a friend when Trudi and I downsized,
sold our house and moved in 2015.
I had some great workouts on that
rack, and I'll have some great work-
outs on the new one.
I found the new one by accident.
Trudi wanted to look for some kettle-
bells, so we went over to a Play It
Again Sports store not too far away
from us . . .
and I walked inside . . .
and there stood THE RACK.

| I walked into the Play It Again Sports store - and there it was! |
It's old school - heavy - strong- thick -
and just the right color: black iron.
And it was a great price.
So even though we don't have the best
possible place for it - and even though
I wasn't looking for a rack - I grabbed
it.
I had to.
I didn't want to leave it for someone
who might use it as a curl rack.
Anyhow, the rack is set up and ready
to go now.
I'm going to be doing a lot of the Bone
Strength exercises that John Wood has
covered in his Bone Strength Project.
I'll also be doing some of the old-school
power rack workouts that I cover in so
many of my books and courses, including:
Dinosaur Training: Lost Secrets of
Strength and Development
Strength, Muscle and Power
The Dinosaur Strength Training
Archive, Vol. 1
I'm looking forward to it - and I think
that doing some specialization work for
my bones (as well as my tendons and
ligaments) is probably a pretty good
idea at age 61.
Bones, tendons and ligaments help
keep you strong - and keep you
straight - meaning that you stand
tall, with good posture - and that
you move freely and athletically.
Strong and straight is a good thing
at any age - but it gets better and
better (and ever more important)
with every passing year.
And training for strong bones is how
to get there.
Anyhow, my old friend is back - and
I'm looking forward to some great
workouts together.
As always, thanks for reading and
have a great day. If you train today,
make it a good one.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
P.S. I mentioned a number of terrific
resources about power rack training
and Bone Strength workouts.
