| I get this question all the time - and my answer is always the same. |
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
One quick note, and then we'll talk training.

Here's the link to grab the March issue of
The Dinosaur Files. It's a great issue,

good feedback from Dinos around the
world.

2. Does Abbreviated Training Really
Work?
Yesterday I received an email from a reader
who asked whether abbreviated training
really works.
Apparently, he's been reading "stuff on the
internet" that tells him he has to follow long,
frequent workouts to make any sort of
meaningful progress.
So let me offer a counter view to the inter-
web stuff.
I'll make it very simple. I'll give it to you
in six short words -- and they even rhyme,
so that will make it very easy to remember.
If you over-train, you won't gain.
Period, end of story.
And that's what the Interweb whiz kids all
forget.
It's not just how how hard you train. It's how
you recover from your training. No recovery
means no gains in strength and muscle mass.
Most trainees start off by making good gains,
in part because they're not strong enough to
over-train.
But as they grow stronger, they start to over-
do things. And at that point, their progress
comes crashing to a halt.
Many trainees train for years without making
any progress because they over-do things in
the gym and they are barely able to stay even,
much less make significant gains in strength
and muscle mass.
Go to any gym in the world, and you'll see
this happen over and over. It happens to
99% of the trainees at the typical gym.
And no one seems to be able to figure it
out -- which is utterly amazing, because
the answer is very simple and very obvious:
Train less, but train harder and heavier.
So when someone asks, "Does abbreviated
training really work?" the answer is this:
1. Yes, it does.
and
2. Try it and see for yourself.
And remember , there's an enormous army
of Dinosaurs around the world who've found
that abbreviated training brought them the
best results of their lives.
If it worked for them, it will work for you.
As always, thanks for reading, and have a
great day. If you train today, make it a
good one.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik

"Train hard and heavy to stimulate gains

give your body the time it needs to
recover and grow."
