Desert Island Training Equipment, Pt. 2

 
You don't need much in the way of equipment to get a terrific, result-producing workout.


Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Two quick notes and then we'll talk
iron.

1. The Dinosaur Files

The March issue of The Dinosaur Files
strength training newsletter is running
a little late - but it should be ready to

2. The Retro-Strength Store

John Wood keeps adding great stuff to
the Retro-Strength store - be sure to
check it out:

The new caber tossing tee-shirts are
pretty cool - but so are the John Grimek
and Sig Klein shirts - and the strongman
coffee mugs - and - heck, it's all pretty
cool.

3. Desert Island Training Equipment,
Pt. 2


What would you take with you if you
were going to a desert island and could
take just THREE pieces of equipment?

I asked the Dinos this question last
week - and I've been flooded with
responses ever since.

We ran some of them last week -
here are some more:

Basic and Simple

My personal choice is:

1. A pair of adjustable dumbbells.

2. Lots of plates.

3. A combined pull-up and
dip station.

My Top Three

My top three would be a plate-
loaded barbell, pull-up bar, and
a 24 k kettlebell.

A Military Solution

It's very simple.

One military bag or knapsack,
with shoulder straps so you
can wear it.

You can fill it with sand to do
clean and press.

Then you can wear it and do
squats, weighted push-ups
amd weighted pull-ups (using
as tree branch for the pull-ups).

Three Interesting Choices

I would take the following (in
preferred order):

1. Olympic barbell with tons of
plates, including those lovely
2.5 and 1 pound plates.

2. Thick-handle plate loading
dumbbells.

3. My lifting shoes (they keep
me lifting without knee issues,
and push presses are more stable
in them - or course, I'd need to
make a platform or lift on a hard
surface to get maximum use out
of the shoes).

Those are all very good answers
answers.

They show you that Dinosaurs know
how to get the most out of their
equipment.

They also show you that you don't
need a lot of equipment to get a great
workout.

And they give you plenty of ideas
about what to focus on in your
training - and about what you'll
need if you ever set up a home
gym.

What about you - what would YOU
take?

Shoot me an email and let me know.

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

P.S. Another good thing to take
with you would be a copy of
