| During World War Two, World Champion John Davis was shipped overseas - "somewhere in the Pacific" as they would write in the letters they sent home - and brought a barbell with him when he shipped out. The barbell made it to Hawaii, where he had to leave it behind - but other servicemen who followed Davis were able to use his barbell while they were in Hawaii. I don't know what happened to that barbell, but it must have been a very special piece of iron. |
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
We got a ton of great responses
to yesterday's email asking you
to name your three favorite pieces
of training equipment.
Meaning, the equipment you would
take to a desert island - knowing
it would be all you had for training.
Here's what some of you had to
say:
MY BIG THREE
1. A pair of adjustable dumbbells
up to 100 or more pounds - for
heavy farmer's walks and presses).
2. A plate-loading barbell.
3. A sledgehammer (great for
forearm strength, shoulder mobility
doing rotations, and for working on
the island).
Michael H.
THE TOP THREE
1. A pair of gymnastic rings
(nothing better for working the
upper body pushing and pulling
muscles)
2. One plate-loaded dumbbell with
lots of iron for one-arm swings,
snatches, presses, weighted one-
legged squats, etc.
3. One 53 lb. kettlebell (for serious
cardio training)
That's it - simple, but they were
not easy choices!

MY CHOICES
I would take my thick-handled, plate
loading dumbbells, lots of plates, and
my two 10' climbing ropes.
Adam S.
Those are all good choices. What about
you?
What training equipment would you
take to a desert island?
Send me an email and let me know!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
