3. Seven Old-School Strength Training
Tips
I thought you'd enjoy seven quick training
tips from the old-school champions - so
here they are.
Each one is from a different old-time
champion.
1. A Tip from Sig Klein
Perform all of your exercises in perfect form,
with no cheating. Work the muscles over the
complete range of motion on every rep.
2. A Tip from Steve Stanko
To build strength, do plenty of heavy singles
in the big exercises.
3. A Tip from John Grimek
Always focus on the muscle group you are
exercising with any particular movement -
and concentrate as hard as possible on each
rep - try to feel the muscle working over
every inch of movement.
4. A Tip from Bob Hoffman
You can't train on your nerve too often. It's
always best to alternate light, medium and
heavy workouts.
5. A Tip from George F. Jowett
One of the best ways to progress in your
training is to begin with relatively simple
exercises, and gradually move up to harder
and more demanding movements.
6. A Tip from John Grunn Marx
Use thick-handled dumbbells to build your
grip strength. Depending on the size of
your hands, gradually work up to 2, 2.5
or even 3 inch thick dumbbell handles.
7. A Tip from Earle Liederman
Specialize on building bone, tendon and
ligament strength just as much as building
muscle strength.
So there you go - seven training tips from
seven old-school champions.
Let me know how you like these - if you
like them, we can do plenty more of
them!
Meanwhile, and 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. Speaking of building bone, tendon,
and ligament strength - my new course
on heavy partials will do exactly that -
and FAST!

P.S. 4. Thought for the Day:
"Old-school strength training and muscle
building is the royal road to physical
excellence!"
