| Old-school champions like Reg Park always brought something a little different to their training - something that made all the difference in the world. |
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Things are hopping faster than 37 jackalopes
today - so let's get right into the important
stuff!
1. The May Dino Files
. . . is running late - because I've been
buried in a very big, unexpected project.
But it should be ready soon - and I'll send
an email when it's ready to go.
2. My New Course
I've got a brand new training course out, and
it's a good one.
It covers old-school arm training - not the
pump stuff, but the kind of training that
builds plenty of strength and power.
It's based on Doug Hepburn's workouts -
and Hepburn, you may remember, was
the only man in history to set World
records in:
1, The bench press
2. The military press
3. The barbell curl
Which kind of proves that he had pretty
strong arms - and that's why I based
this course on his unique and effective
training techniques.
It comes in a downloadable and printable
PDF - and you get a special bonus with it -
four workout charts. You can print them
out, make copies and use them to keep
track of your workouts.
Go here to grab the little monster:

And no, this is NOT a reprint of Dinosaur
Arm Training - it's a brand new course.
Also - it's the first in a series of courses -
so grab them all, starting with this one -
print them out and save them - and you'll
have the complete set - and a ton of great
training programs.
3. How to Train Like a Champion
And now, let's talk training -- as in,
real world, championship training.
Back in 1952, a young man named Tom
was working as a cook in the army. He
was based in California and was slated
to be sent to Korea.
He thought he would probably die there,
because this was during the Korean War,
and the North Koreans were using US
Army cooks for target practice.
They figured that they'd demoralize the
Americans by shooting all their cooks.
So Tom practiced his cooking -- and his
shooting. By then, all the cooks in the
army were carrying rifles while they did
their cooking.
But he also practiced something else.
Weightlifting.
And he was pretty darn good at it.
Good enough to win the USA National
championships and qualify for the 1952
Olympic Games in Helsinki.
So instead of going to Korea, Tom went
to the Olympics -- where he won a gold
medal.
Yes, I'm talking about Tommy Kono --
one of the greatest weightlifters of all
time.
But here's the important thing.
Tommy Kono had very limited time for
training. The Army didn't let him train
all day. He had to do his regular Army
job and Army PT and everything else a
soldier does.
So he developed something he called
Quality Training.
He trained just 3 or 4 times a week for
no more than 90 minutes per workout.
But he made every minute count.
He focused on squats, front squats, military
presses, squat cleans, squat snatches and
jerks.
He didn't do anything else because he didn't
have time to do anything else. He focused on
the important stuff -- and he trained it very,
very hard.
He coupled that with unshakable, iron
determination to be the best in the world.
And when he trained, he trained with zen-
like powers of concentration.
And it worked. He ended up winning six
World Championships, three Pan-American
titles, two Olympic gold medals and an
Olympic silver medal.
He set official World records in four different
weight classes: 148, 165, 181 and 198.
Tommy Kono proved that Quality Training
works.
You can do the very same thing. Follow the
abbreviated and ultra-abbreviated training
programs in my books and courses -- train
with focus and passion -- and the results will
astonish 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
