Hail to the Dinosaurs!
When you write about real world,
no nonsense strength training and
muscle building, you walk a lonely
path.
Most of the other stuff is about
totally different stuff:
Drugs
Supplements
More drugs
New drugs
More supplements
New supplements
Gossip columns
Bodybuilding contests
The "latest" version of the Super
Blast Mega-Muscle Bulgarian Blitz
program - or whatever they're
calling it this week.
And so on.
And that's the world of the mass
market muscle media.
My world is much different.
There's a very small number of
people who write about MY kind
of training.
Bill Hinbern is one.
Bradley J. Steiner is another.
And John Wood is a third.
And that leads me to something that's
nothing short of amazing.
Yesterday we released my new book
on Kindle:
100 Strength Training Tips for
Combat Athletes
http://www.brookskubik.com/100-combat-tips.html
So last night I went over to take
a look at the sales numbers - and
the little monster was ranked No.
1 - meaning NUMERO UNO - in
new releases in the category of
weight training books.
Number 1 in less than 24 hours.
That's fast.
And it's also pretty amazing for a
book that focuses on hard and
heavy, back to the basics
strength and power training.
But here's something else that's
even more amazing.
The top six books in New Releases
for weight training books included
one by me - and two by John Wood.
That means that the old-school, hard
and heavy, roll up your sleeves, grit,
grime, dig deep, puff, pant and
perspire stuff was kicking the
heck out of all of the other the
other stuff.
In other words, the Dinos had taken
over.
The bunnies were in full retreat.
Chrome and Fern Land was shaking
at its very core.
The Gentle Blasters were running
for cover.
John's two books in the top 6 were
on Trap Bar training. I assume you
have them, but if not, grab them -
they're very good:
Trap Bar Training Book No. 2
http://www.oldtimestrongman.com/trapbartraining2.html
Trap Bar Training Book No. 1
http://www.oldtimestrongman.com/trapbartraining.html
If memory serves correctly, both
of John's books had been No. 1 in
new releases - and since they're
still in the top 6, they're still selling
like hotcakes.
And to make things even more fun,
I had another book in the No. 1
spot in Kindle's new releases just
a couple of weeks ago.
It was my book on Heavy Partials for
building strength and power:
Dinosaur Strength and Power -
Course No. 2 - Heavy Partials
Kindle edition
http://www.brookskubik.com/heavypartials-kindle.html
PDF edition
http://www.brookskubik.com/dinosaurstrengthandpower-02.html
Anyhow, do us both a favor.
Help keep us in the no. 1 spot for
as long as possible - and help keep
us in the top 6 rankings for as long
as possible.
Grab any or all of our Kindle books -
leave reviews for them - read and
rank other reviews - tell your friends
and workout buddies about our
books - spread the word on social
media - and generally do everything
you can to help share the message.
Our goal is total and complete
domination - meaning that we
won't stop until strength training
is back where it needs to be - with
its original focus on the real world
stuff that gives great results as fast
and efficiently as possible.
I can't do it alone - and neither can
John Wood - but with your help, we
can all do it together.
Thanks - and happy reading!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
