Training Programs for Beginners - My Top Recommendations!

Chalk and Sweat ranks high on my list of recommended books for beginners.

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

A reader asked about the best
training books for his teenage
son to use to get started in the
Iron Game.

That's a great question, because
the kid needs some good advice.

Otherwise, he'll get buried in the
endless sea of training insanity
out there.

And he'll be a sucker for the super
supplements, the silly pumping
programs, the goofy YouTube
exercises (a/k/a "squats on roller-
skates"), and the steroids and
other drugs that infest the Iron
Game.

So let's help him avoid that stuff -
and try to get him training the
right way from the very beginning.

My advice would be to start with
the beginner's programs in Dinosaur
Bodyweight Training. These will lay
the foundation for good results when
he moves on to barbell and dumbbell
training.

They also will teach him how to get
on a training schedule and stick to
it - as well as helping him develop
the Success Habit and start to under-
stand and use the mind-muscle
connection.

Next, he should use the beginner's
barbell and dumbbell programs in
Chalk and Sweat. Those would be
perfect for him at this stage of his
career.

I'd also suggest getting the Legacy
of Iron books, and letting him read
about Jim Miller and how he got
started in the Iron Game - and
how it worked for him.

There's nothing like a little bit of
motivation and inspiration, and
the Legacy of Iron books will
provide plenty of it.

They'll also help him learn about
the true champions of the Iron
Game - the men who did it without
drugs and super supplements. That's
very important for a young man to
know about.

Next, he should read my three-volume
series, Dinosaur Training Secrets I, II
and III. These will give him a terrific
overview of sane, sensible and effective
training - the old-school, all-natural,
drug-free way.

Another excellent book for younger
trainees and newbies is A Complete
Guide to Effective Barbell Training,
by Bradley J. Steiner. My buddy Bill
Hinbern has done a modern reprint
edition (with Steiner's express
permission). I recommend it highly.

The Complete Guide came out in the
early 1970's, but in my opinion it's
one of the very best training books
ever written.

Anyhow, those are my top recommend-
ations - and I wish the young man
the very best of success!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

An Email from Amazon

Amazon sends me emails telling me what I might like in the Kindle bookstore. Most of the suggestions have been pretty good guesses.

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

I woke up this morning and had an
email from Amazon waiting for me.
It was one of those "Thought you
might like this" emails.

And it was pretty much on point.

It included:

John Wood's Trap Bar Training
Guide

http://www.brookskubik.com/trapbartraining.html

Good guess. I like it quite a bit.
I even contributed some material
for it. Including a brand new Trap
Bar workout.

John Wood's Old School Training
Articles, Vol. 1

http://www.oldtimestrongman.com/oldschoolarticles001.html

I definitely like that. John did
a great job with it.

The Dinosaur Strength Training
Notebook, Vol. 1

http://www.brookskubik.com/dinosaurnotebook001.html

Yep, I like that, too. (Heck, I
wrote it.)

The Master Method of Health,
Strength and Bodybuilding,
Lesson 1

http://www.brookskubik.com/mastermethod-001.html

Written by David Willoughby
and my good friend, Bill
Hinbern.

Yeah, I like it. Like it a lot.

Like it so much, I wrote a
special introduction for the
Kindle version.

Brooks Kubik's Old-School
Strength Q and A, Vol. 1

http://www.brookskubik.com/oldschool_01-kindle.html

And that was also a good guess.

I like it very much - as I should,
since I'm the author.

Anyhow, I think Amazon has
me pegged.

It knows what I like.

How about you? Are you getting
any emails from Amazon?

If so, I hope Amazon is letting
you know about the good stuff
out there - including the stuff
John, Bill and I are putting into
the Kindle bookstore. 

Yours in strength,

Grab Them While You Can!

 

Bill Hinbern's modern reprints of old-school books and courses are one of the very best resources for authentic, real life, old-school training and lifting.

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

I just want to give you a
quick heads up.

My buddy Bill Hinbern is
almost completely out of
stock for two great books
on old-time training - and
he's not going to reprint
them.

So this is "last chance to
get them" time.

The books are by W. A.
Pullam, the famed "Wizard
of the Weightlifting World."

They're two of the very
best guides ever written
about how to perform the
old-school lifts - and about
how the old-timers trained.

The titles are:

1. Weightlifting Made Easy
and Interesting

and

2. How to Use a Barbell

Right now, you can grab
them right here:

http://superstrengthtraining.com/william-pullum

But as I said, there aren't
many left - and when they're
gone, they're gone.

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

Reg Park, Brad Steiner, and Much More!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Several days ago I shared an email
about Bradley J. Steiner's list of the
21 "Essential Exercises."

I noted that when I started in the Iron
Game, Steiner wrote for Peary Rader's
old Iron Man magazine, and was one of
the most popular Iron Game authors in
the world -- as well as one of the most
honest and most direct.

Steiner taught old school training --
and told his readers to stay away from
the muscle pumping nonsense that was
(and still is) so very common -- and also
told his readers to stay away from
steroids and other drugs.

He often wrote about the mental aspects
of strength training and muscle building.

He focused on physical culture -- a great
term -- and on making yourself the very
best and strongest person that you could
be, both physically and mentally.

He also talked about using your training
to enrich your life rather than making
your life revolve around your training.

As in, train three times a week for about
an hour per workout. That's plenty of
time to build tons of strength and
muscle -- and it allows you to live
a full and rewarding life.

In other words, he taught old school
training and old school values.

So you can see why I enjoyed reading
his books and articles so much.

Anyhow, I've received a ton of emails
from readers asking where they can find
more from Bradley J. Steiner.

There are three places to look.

1. The Iron League

The first is John Wood's Iron League,
which includes old issues of the very
same Iron Man magazines that carried
Steiner's articles "back in the day."

John has a special license to post these
old issues of Iron Man -- and a complete
collection of them -- and a ton of other
great stuff, including several boxes of
rare old materials from my personal
library, which I have loaned to him
to share on the Iron League.

He also uploads old video -- including
my old Dinosaur Training videos from
back in the 1990's. In fact, it's the only
place to find them. I'm letting John do
that because I think the Iron League is
a really important project, and I want
to help support what he's doing.

The Iron League is a members only,
curated website with an incredible
collection of old Iron Game books,
courses and magazines.

One of our Dinos calls it "The Library
of Congress of Strength" -- and that's
a pretty good name for it.

Go here to join The Iron League:

http://www.ironleague.com/

So that's the first place to find old
articles by by Bradley J. Steiner.

2. Bill Hinbern's Website

The second place to look is Bill
Hinbern's website.

Bill has been selling old books and
courses for something like 50 years
now -- and he sells a great looking
reprint edition of Steiner's otherwise
impossible to find, classic text, The
Complete Guide to Effective Barbell
Training.

Note that Bill did this with Steiner's
express permission and approval --
which is how you do these things.

Go here to grab The Complete Guide:

http://superstrengthtraining.com/complete-guide-effective-barbell-training-bradley-steiner

And that's the second place to find
more training wisdom from Bradley
J. Steiner.

3. Brad Steiner's Website

The third place to look for material
from Bradley J. Steiner is at his
website.

It focuses on self-defense training,
but includes plenty of info on effective
strength training, as well.

Go here to check it out:

http://www.americancombato.com/

4. Reg Park Specialization Courses

I mentioned Reg Park in the title of
this email/blog post, and you may be
wondering why, since I haven't
mentioned him yet.

The answer is this -- Bill Hinbern has
just released a series of specialization
courses written by Reg Park.

Bill used to be the North American
distributor for these courses -- but
they haven't been available for over
40 years.

For more information on these VERY
RARE and one of a kind courses, go
here:

http://superstrengthtraining.com/reg-park-mr-universe-specialization-courses

Be sure to tell Bill I sent you. I've been
buying stuff from him for over 40 years
now, and he's a very good friend.

Anyhow, I hope that answers the questions
about where to find more OLD GOLD from
Bradley J. Steiner -- as well as some terrific
old courses from Reg Park.

As always, thanks for reading and have a
great day. If you train today (as I will)
make it a good one!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

10 Training Tips from Reg Park!

Reg Park -- one of the best developed and strongest men who ever lived.

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Two quick notes, and then we'll talk training.

1. Get Those Orders In!

We're down to the wire to fill Christmas orders,
so please get them in as fast as possible. And
remember, if you want me to autograph a
book or course for you, all you need to do
is ask!

2. Physical Culture Radio

Yesterday's show on Physical Culture Radio

generational differences between trainees,
why old school training materials are worth
reading and studying, and much more. Go

3. Ten Tips from Reg Park

I received a package from Bill Hinbern
yesterday. It contained THREE great
training courses written by Reg Park
in the early 1950's.

As you might expect, they're very good.

Bill outdid himself in putting together
a truly excellent modern reprint edition
of each course, with photos and bonus
material not seen in the original. For
example, one of the courses has Reg
Park's bench press program that let
him become the second man in history
to bench press 500 pounds! That's not
in the original course, but Bill thought
you might like to see it!

Anyhow -- here are ten tips from Reg Park
that I have taken directly from the new
courses:

1. Sometimes, a complete change of your
training routine is better than a lay-off.

2. John Grimek and Steve Stanko did lots
of dumbbell training -- follow their example.
3. Dumbbells have always played a big part
in Reg Park's training.

4. Wear a heavy track suit to keep your
muscles warm while training.

5. Wear lifting shoes or boots while training.

a. Park liked boots because of the added ankle
support.

6. Wear a lifting belt while performing squats.

7. Train deadlifts on a separate training day,
all by themselves.

8. Bodybuilders should practice strength and
power training, not pump their muscles with
light weights.

9. Focus on the big muscle groups, like the
thighs, hips and back, not on smaller muscles
like the biceps.

10. Reg Park always gave extra attention to
squats and shoulder training.

There are many more tips -- and some detailed
training programs -- in the new courses. You can
find them right here at Bill Hinbern's website:

http://superstrengthtraining.com/reg-park

There's also a great chapter on Reg Park
and his training methods in my book, Strength,
Muscle and Power. Go here to grab it:

http://www.brookskubik.com/strength_muscle_power.html

The more you learn about the training
methods of the old-time champions --
men like Park, Grimek, Stanko, Davis,
Hepburn, Kono and so many others --
the better you'll do. In strength training,
knowledge truly IS power!

As always, thanks for reading and have a
great day. If you train today, make it a
good one!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

4. Darth Vader's Dumbbell

The World Premier for the new Star Wars
film, The Force Awakens, was last night
in Los Angeles, and by all accounts it was
quite an event.

And that reminds me of a Dinosaur Training
connection to Star Wars.

It involves Darth Vader's Dumbbell.

It actually exists, and it's one of the most
famous dumbbells in Iron Game history.
I actually saw it once -- and tried to lift
it -- but I couldn't budge it.

But that was okay, because a very long
list of famous strongmen have tried to
lift it -- and were unable to do so. Heck,
Arthur Saxon tried -- and failed. And
Arthur Saxon bent pressed more weight
than any man who ever lived.

Arthur Saxon? Darth Vader? What are
you talking about, Kubik? Have you
lost it?

Not at all. Let me explain.

In the first three Star Wars movies, the
character of Darth Vader was played by
two men.

James Earl Jones supplied the voice --
and a very large British weightlifter named
Dave Prowse supplied the body.

Prowse was an enormous man -- and if
Darth Vader looks BIG on screen, it's
because he really was.

Dave Prowse owned a gym in London --
and in the gym, he had the original Inch
Dumbbell -- the legendary "Unliftable
Dumbbell."

How Prowse ended up with the Dumbbell
is a long story. I'll share it sometime.

Anyhow . . .

I was in London once, on vacation, and I
went to Prowse's gym with fellow Hardgainer
author Mike Thompson.

We each tried to lift the dumbbell.

Neither of us could budge it.

And get this -- on the same trip, I trained
with Mike and made a 1-hand deadlift with
435 pounds. So I had a pretty good grip.
It just wasn't quite good enough to lift
Darth Vader's Dumbbell.

So there you have it: a Dinosaur connection
to Darth Vader -- and to Thomas Inch -- and
Artghur Saxon -- and a host of legendary
strongmen.

As always, thanks for reading and have a
great day. If you train today, make it a
good one!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

strongmen, here's a terrific book on old
school dumbbell training:

strength training." -- Brooks Kubik

***********************************************************************************

Old School Training with Reg Park

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

One of my all-time favorite weight
training articles is John McCallum's
account of watching Reg Park train.

This was in Vancouver, British
Columbia, and it happened while
Park was on a big tour of North
America. He gave lifting and posing
exhibitions at various shows, and
trained at all of the famous gyms
across the USA and Canada.

He also met all the top bodybuilders
and lifters, and all the famous people
in the Iron Game -- and was invited
to a gazillion or so dinners featuring
all the steak or roast beef the Iron
Gamers wanted. I think it caused a
trans-continental beef shortage.

Now, if memory serves correctly, this
was back in 1957 or 58 -- a long time
ago, and a time when bodybuilders and
weightlifters had much more in common
than they do today.

There were bodybuilders who placed
high in weightlifting contests -- and there
were weightlifters who placed high in
bodybuilding shows.

And then there was Reg Park. At almost
250 pounds of solid muscle, Park was the
top bodybuilder in the world.

He also was one of the strongest men in
the world. He proved it many times, perhaps
most famously by becoming the second man
in history to bench press 500 pounds --
shortly after the Canadian Hercules, Doug
Hepburn, had broken the 500 pound barrier.

McCallum's account of Park's training was
great.

Get this -- the workout lasted just one
hour and five minutes!

But it was one hour and five minutes of
hard, heavy training -- focusing on the
BIG exercises.

It would have been great to have seen
it -- or to have trained with Reg Park.

But here's the next best thing.

Reg Park wrote a number of great training
courses back in the day. The originals are
very rare and almost impossible to find --
but my good friend, Bill Hinbern, has
reprinted SEVEN of them in high quality
modern editions -- including many new
photos, some you probably have never
seen.

They're the next best thing to training
shoulder to shoulder with Reg Park back
in that gym in Vancouver -- and you can
find them right here:

http://superstrengthtraining.com/reg-park

Note that Bill is offering a special deal if
you order all seven courses together.

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. After you grab those Reg Park courses
from Bill, jump over to The Dinosaur Training
site and grab Dinosaur Training Secrets, Vol. 1,
2 and 3. We offer them in hard-copy editions,
Kindle e-book editions, and e-books with
immediate electronic delivery:

http://www.brookskubik.com/products.html

We've added special sections to our products

Kindle e-books and the links to the electronic
downloads. Of course, if you have any questions,
shoot me an email.

Goerner the Mighty!

Hermann Goerner

 Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Hermann Goerner had some of the strongest

hands and fingers of any man who ever

lived -- and he had tremendous all-around

strength, as well.

On October 8, 1920, Goerner performed a

one-hand deadlift with a barbell weighing

727 1/2 pounds!

He performed a one-hand snatch with a

barbell weighing 220 1/2 pounds on Nov-

ember 30, 1919 -- and performed a one-

hand clean and jerk with a barbell weighing

264 1/2 pounds on November 9 of the same

year.

On March 21, 1920, he performed a one-

hand swing with two kettlebells having a

combined weight of 220 1/2 pounds.

In the same year, he deadlifted 793 2/3

pounds, clean and jerked 390 1/4 pounds,

and performed a front squat with 474 1/2

pounds.

Goerner was 6' 1/2 inch in height, and weighed

just 220 pounds at the time he made these

amazing lifts.

Later. his muscular weight increased to

about 245 pounds, making him one of the

most impressive looking of all strongmen.

Goerner had a unique training system to

strengthen his hands, fingers and grip.

I cover it in detail in Strength, Muscle and

Power -- and it's one of the best programs

there is to build truly Herculean grip strength.

After all, it's the program Goerner used to

perform that amazing one-hand deadlift.

What a powerhouse he was!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

Power right here at Dino Headquarters:

training methods, grab his biography,

P.S. 3. Thought for the Day: "You can argue

about  a lot of things, but you can't argue

about the training methods of a man who

deadlifts 727 1/2 pounds with one hand."

Are You a Strength Training Specialist or a Generalist?

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Two quick notes and then we'll talk training.

First, we're releasing Knife, Fork, Muscle as
a series of e-books. The first three books in
the series are available on our Amazon Kindle
pages. Go here for the links to all of them --
and the links to our other Dinosaur Training
e-books on Kindle:

http://www.brookskubik.com/products.html

Second, we had a great show yesterday on
Physical Culture radio. Bill Hinbern kindly
joined us at the half-way mark, and stayed
for the rest of the show. You can listen to
the download here:

http://superhumanradio.com/shr-1694-physical-culture-radio-super-strength-in-60-seconds-a-day-and-other-nonsense-super-human-science-roundup.html

A big THANK YOU to Bill Hinbern for
sharing his time and his knowledge
with us. Bill is a true gentleman,
and a real credit to the Iron Game.

On the training front, let's talk about
specialists and generalists.

Earlier in the week I outlined my current
training program, and noted that I am
specializing in Olympic weightlifting --
so I limit my workouts to weightlifting
exercises: the snatch, the clean and jerk,
high pulls, front squats and back squats.

There are lots of other good exercises
and lots of other good equipment and
good training tools -- many of which I
have used in the past -- but as I said,
I'm specializing on weightlifting now,
and it makes more sense to focus all
of my energy on weightlifting.

Also, at age 58, my recovery ability is
more limited than when I was younger.
So If I were to add other things to the
mix, I'd probably end up overtraining.
And that's never a good idea.

And also -- I like to concentrate on one
thing at a time, and work very hard to
master it. That's just how I am.

But many other Dinos have a different
approach. Some enjoy doing a much
broader variety of things.

Thus, we have Dinos who combine
strength training with martial arts
training.

We have Dinos who like to add strong-
man training to their workouts.

We have Dinos who enjoy rack work
and heavy partials -- or heavy supports
to build stronger and thicker bones.

Kettlebells are popular with many Dinos.
So are dumbbells -- and cables -- and
bodyweight training -- and specialized
grip training.

Those are all great. I've done many of
them at different times in the past --
and I've had lots of fun doing them, and
gotten good results from them.

As I often say, it's all good, and it all
works.

So don't be worried if you like to do
something that's different than what I
like to do. The basic principles are the
same for all of us: hard work, progression,
and regular, consistent effort are the keys
to success.

So are the mental aspects. Concentration,
visualization and focus work wonders no
matter what you're doing.

And, of course, you need to find the right
balance between doing enough exercise
to make gains and not doing so much that
you outrun your recovery ability.

I cover that issue in detail in Dinosaur
Training Secrets, Vol. 1. It will help you
find the right balance between too little
and too much -- and help bring you some
terrific gains, whether you are a strength
training specialist or a generalist. If you
don't have a copy, grab the little monster
today -- it will help you enormously.

In the meantime, today's a training day
at Dino Headquarters -- and I plan to
hit it hard! So if you hear reports about
a small earthquake in Louisville, you'll
kniow it's just a 58-year old Dino having
some fun in his garage gym.

As always, thanks for reading, and have
a great weekend. If you train today, make
it a good one!

Yours in strength,

Living and Lifting in the Real World

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Two quick notes, and then we'll talk iron.

1. Double Broadcast?

I'm still not sure if you some of you received
"Workouts for the Working Man" twice. If you
did, I apologize. It was a tech glitch, and not
intentional.

2. The Bill Hinbern Interview

My 5-part interview with Bill Hinbern is on
YouTube and it's getting great reviews from
Dinos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFIy3f80GIE

And now -- let's talk training!

Several readers have asked about living and
lifting in the real world. Those are my words,
not theirs, but they all have similar concerns:

How do you train when you have a tough job
with long hours?

Or a physically demanding job?

Or two jobs?

Or you have a crazy job with long hours and
(get this) you're 73 years old?

Or you have a job with long hours, a couple
of small kids, a mortgage, older parents to
look after, tons of respobsibilities, and hardly
a minute of free time.

Or -- well, I could go on and on. The list is
endless because that's what life is like in the
real world.

Here's the answer:

1. You make time to train on a regular basis,
even if it's only one, two or three times per
week.

a. Make a point of training on a regular basis,
even if it is a short, fast workout.

b. A short, fast workout is always better than
a missed workout.

2. Focus on the important exercises: the big,
basic compound movements that build plenty
of real world strength, muscle and power.

a. Squats, front squats, presses, deadlifts,
Trap Bar deadlifts, clean and press, rowing,
pull-ups, etc.

3. Use sane, sensible set/rep systems. I like
multiple sets of low to medium reps.

a. Olympic weightlifting coach Jim Schmitz
likes 5/4/3/2/1 for trainees who live and
lift in the real world. He calls it "5/4/3/2/1
Done!" and that sums it up very well.

4. Schedule relatively short workouts. You can
get tremendous results from 45 to 60 minutes
of training -- provided that it's the right kind
of training.

a. When you train, use concentration and focus
to make every minute count.

b. No wasted time!

c. Let me repeat - no wasted time! You can rest
between sets, but FOCUS on the next set while
you are resting.

5. If you're super-strapped for time, do ultra-
abbreviated workouts.

a. Pick three exercises and train each of them
once a week.

b. Or pick 4 to 6 exercises, and train each of
them once over a two-week period.

c. Or train two or three times a week and do
two exercises in each workout.

6. If you are totally buried, just do 10 or 15
minutes of pushups, pull-ups and deep knee
bends.

a. Or keep some dumbbells, Indian clubs,
grip blasters or chest expanders handy --
and just do 15 minutes of light, fast, easy
stuff to get the blood flowing and help keep
you in tone.

7. On days when you are extra-tired, sore or
beat up, take it easy. Hit a fast workout where
you do some progressively heavier warm-up
sets, and then call it a day.

a. Or work up to a five rep working weight, hit
it for a single, double or triple, and then call it
a day.

b. The point is, don't skip the workout -- just
make it an easy one.

And that's how you get it done when you live
and lift in the real world.

By the way, if you have kids, it is a very
important life lesson to let them see you
working out even though you are very,
very busy. In fact, it's one of the most
important life lessons for them.

As always, thanks for reading and have a
great day. If you train today, make it a good
one!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

The Dinosaur Training YouTube Channel

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

About four weeks ago, I went to Cincinatti
to attend a surprise birthday party for Hall
of Fame Strength Coach, Kim Wood.

As you might expect, this was a big deal,
and a number of friends and fellow
Dinosaurs were there.

My good friend, Bill Hinbern, drove down
from Michigan for the big event. If you
don't know who Bill Hinbern is, run on
over to his website and take a look at
the most comprehensive strength
training and Iron Game bookstore
in the world:

http://superstrengthtraining.com/

Long story short -- Bill and I were in the
same place at the same time -- which is
highly unusual, because we are both so
darn busy. Neither one of us gets out
much. The Dino business keeps me
busy 24-7, and Bill's book business
keeps him just as busy. Maybe even
busier.

So I had a crazy idea.

"Let's do an interview," I said. "We'll
film it, and put it up on YouTube for
all of our readers to watch."

"That's a great idea!" said Bill.

So we did a two hour interview the
morning after the birthday party --
and filmed it -- and later, when I
got home, my tech guy edited the
interview and split it into five parts.

Then he set up a YouTube channel and
loaded the videos. All five of them.

Anyhow, the interview is up on YouTube
and ready to watch. You can find the first
part right here, and link to the other parts
from there:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFIy3f80GIE

We've had a great response to the
interview, so I am going to do some
more videos and put them on YouTube
for you. In fact, we shot two more short
videos last night -- and my tech guy will
edit them and put them up later in the
week. I'll send an email when they're
ready to go.

The two new interviews are just me,
sitting at a table at Dino Headquarters,
sharing some fun stuff with you. One of
the videos features a very old book once
owned by a man who coached World and
Olympic weightlifting champion John Davis.
The book is filled with marginal comments,
notes and underlining -- and it gives us an
interesting insight into one of John Davis'
greatest lifts.

I have lots of fun old stuff to share with
you -- like those old IronMan barbell plates
I described in yesterday's email. So head
on over and watch my interview with Bill
Hinbern -- and while you're there, subscribe
to the Dinosaur Training YouTube channel --
and be watching for updates about what
we post for you.

And yes, we'll have more interviews with
Bill Hinbern and others. Some of you sent
in questions for Bill, and we didn't answer
all of them. We'll get to them next time!

As always, thanks for reading, and have a
great day. If you train today, make it a good
one!

Yours in strength,

2. Questions for Bill Hinbern

Many of you sent in questions for my
interview with Bill Hinbern. Bill and I
reviewed the questions before the
interview, and we answered some
of them -- but there are more we
need to answer.

We'll try to get to them in follow-up
interviews and/or via our daily emails.
For example, I covered one of them in
yesterday's email about common
deadlift questions.

Also, I assume you have the link for the
interview on YouTube, but if not, here
is Part 1 -- and from there, you can link
to Parts 2 thru 5:

If you have follow-up questions for
either of us, send them in!

The 100 Word Challenge

Here's a challenge -- let's see if I can give
you 100 Biographical Summaries of Great
Iron Game figures in a total of 100 words
or less.

1. John Grimek

The best example of old-school strength and
muscle. Inspired thousands to start training.

2. Bob Hoffman

Tireless promoter of weightlifting.

[Note: that's 21 words -- I'm gonna
do it!]

3. John Davis

All-time great lifter -- almost forgotten today,
which is tragic.

4. Bernarr MacFadden

Mr. Physical Culture.

[Note: 37 words. I will make it!]

5. Steve Stanko

The Big Champ. The first 1000 lb. total. And
then, tragedy.

6. Reg Park

Mr. Massive (strong, too!). Inspired so
many of us.

[Note: That's 61. On track.]

7. Doug Hepburn

The most inspiring champion ever!

[Note: 68 -- Piece of cake!]

8. Peary Rader

Mr. Integrity. Tireless promoter of real
world training -- and the 20-rep squat!

[Note: 82 now. Still on track.]

9. Harry Paschall

Bosco. One of my favorite Iron Game
authors.

[Note: 92. It's getting close.]

10. Alan Calvert

Super-Strength and the Milo Barbell
Company.

[Note: 100! It's a darm good thing that the
book "Super-Strength" is hyphenated so it
counts as one word!]

That one eneded up being closer than I
thought it would be. We'll try another
challenge sometime and see how it goes.

The Seven Most Common Deadlift Questions

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Two quick notes, and then we'll talk training --
and answer the seven most common questions
about the deadlift.

1. My Interview with Bill Hinbern

Is in five parts, and is available at my new
YouTube channel. Here's Part 1 -- after you
go there, you can link to parts 2 thru 5:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFIy3f80GIE

I hope you enjoy the interview. If you
do, please leave a comment. And if you
can, share the interview on Facebook
and other social media. Bill and I are
trying very hard to get the word out
about this project.

And, of course -- please subscribe to
my YouTube channel. We're going to be
posting lots of fun stuff for you.

2. My E-Books

Here is the complete list of all 11 of my
Dinosaur Training e-books on Kindle:

http://dinosaurtraining.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-complete-list-as-of-july-13-2015.html

Please post a review on our Kindle
page whenever you read one of our
e-books. The reviews really help us!
Also, it helps us *enormously* if you
visit our Kindle pages once in awhile
and rank the reviews from other
readers.

And now, let's talk iron.

The Seven Most Common Questions About
the Deadlift

Q. 1. Which builds more strength and muscle
mass -- the sumo deadlift or the regular
deadlift?

A. The sumo deadlift is more of a leg and hip
exercise. The regular deadlift works the back
harder and over a greater range of motion.

Some trainees can lift more weight in powerlifting
comps by using the sumo deadlift, but for all-
around strength and muscle building, the regular
deadlift is a better exercise.

Q. 2. Should I use a reverse grip when I do
deadlifts?

A. I prefer using a reverse grip on the deadlift.
You can handle more weight with a reverse
grip.

Alternate your grip from set to set.

The obvious exception would be a weightlifter
who is doing deadlifts to improve his clean and
his snatch. A weightlifter should always use an
overhand grip for any pulling exercise.

If you are doing stiff-legged deadlifts, you won't
be using as much weight as if you do bent-legged
deadlifts, so the overhand grip might work fine
for you.

Q. 3. Is it okay to use straps when I do deadlifts?

A. If you are an Olympic weightlifter, using straps
for deadlifts (if you do them) is okay. Everyone
else should skip the straps.

Q. 4. Are Trap Bar deadlifts any good?

A. Trap Bar deadlifts are a great exercise. Many
Dinos use them as their primary lower body
exercise. They are especially good for older
Dinos.

I like the ORIGINAL Gerard Trap Bar:

http://www.trapbartraining.com/

Q. 5. If I do squats, is it still necessary to
do deadlifts?

A. Even if you do squats, it is always better
to include a pulling exercise of some sort in
your training program. If you don't like the
deadlift, then try power cleans, power
snatches, clean grip high pulls, or snatch
grip high pulls.

Q. 6. Are stiff legged deadlifts safe and
effective?

A. They work well for some people. They
don't work very well for other people. You
can try them and see how you like them,
but if you do, start light and easy. And if
your back says, "No!" then stop doing
them, or do them with a light weight as
a stretching exercise.

Q. 7. Are dumbbell deadlifts any good?

A. I prefer using a barbell or a Trap Bar,
but you can get a heck of a workout with
dumbbell deadlifts. Some Dinos like to do
sets of 10 to 30 reps with a pair of heavy
dumbbells (80 to 100 pounders are good,
and a pair of 120s is excellent).

You get more range of motion with a pair
of dumbbells, so it becomes a very tough
exercise.

I hope that helps, and if you have more
questions about the deadlift, send them
on in!

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. Strength, Muscle and Power has a great
chapter on deadlift variations for building
superhuman grip strength -- as well as
plenty of other old-school training advice:

And yes, we have more books on the way!

And now  . . . let's talk iron.

SEVEN THINGS I HAVE IN COMMON WITH
BILL HINBERN

I recently did a long interview with Bill
Hinbern, and learned that we have a
number of things in common. Here
are seven of them. There are more
than that, but these are some of the
most important ones.

1. Why we got started in the Iron Game.

We both got started in the Iron Game to
try to overcome severe childhood illnesses.

Bill had rheumatiuc fever. I had severe asthma.

We both were so weak and so ill that our doctors
wanted us to stay in bed and rest and not to play
sports. We didn't like that -- and we decided to
try to do something about it. So we began
exercising.

2. We both began with Charles Atlas.

We both read the Charles Atlas ads in the
comic books and magazines. Bill actually
bought the Charles Atlas course. I opted
for barbell and dumbbell training. But both
of us started training because we wanted
to be big and strong -- just like Charles
Atlas.

3. We both read the muscle comics.

And we even believed them. I even
followed Sergio Oliva's (supposed)
Mr. Olympia workout -- when I was
an 83 pound beginner!

4. We both discovered Peary Rader's
IronMan magazine.

We both discovered peary Rader's old
IronMan magazine -- and it taught us
how to train the right way.

And for both of us, that made all the
difference in the world . . .

5. We both used Hoffman's Hi-Proteen
powder.

I forgot to ask Bill if it worked for him.

It didn't work for me -- other than as
an industrial strength laxative.

6. We both use the term "physical culture."

We both talk about the Iron Game in terms
of "physical culture" -- which encompasses
all that is good about it in one very useful
term.

7. We don't like roidskies.

And we even tell you why -- it's in Part 5 of
the interview. Hint: it's probably not what
you think it is. And our reasons are slightly
different.

Of course, we have many more things in
common. You can learn what they are by
listening to the five part interview on my
new YouTube channel. Part 1 is right here --
and from there, you will have the links to the
rest of the 5-part interview:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFIy3f80GIE

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy
the interview!

Yours in  strength,

Brooks Kubik Interviews Bill Hinbern!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Several weeks ago I did a long in-person
interview with my good friend, Bill Hinbern.

Bill is one of the top collectors in the Iron
Game, and has been running the no. 1
physical culture bookstore in the entire
world for close to 50 years.

He's met, talked with or corresponded
with virtually EVERYONE in the Iron Game,
and he has a wealth of information to share
with us.

We talked for almost two hours -- and covered
a wide variety of topics. It was great -- and you
would have loved to have been there.

So let me give Bill Hinbern a great big, T-Rex
sized THANK YOU for doing the interview!

But it gets better.

When I got home, I sat down with my tech guy,
and we reviewed and edited the interview. We
broke it into five chunks of about 20 - 25 mins
each.

We created a Dinosaur Training Youtube channel
and loaded the five parts of the interview. So
they're up there and ready to watch.

Here's the link to Part 1. Once you are there,
you can find links to parts 2 - 5, and you can
go aheead and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

I plan on doing more YouTube videos this year --
including more interviews with Bill Hinbern --
so be sure to subscribe to the channel.

The Bill Hinbern Interview, Part 1:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFIy3f80GIE

I hope you enjoy the interview. If you do,
please leave a comment, or share the link on
Facebook or other social media. We're trying
to get the word out about this project, so we'd
both appreciate anything you can do to help.

I'd also appreciate it -- and I know that Bill
would appreciate it as well -- if you would
go over to his website and sign up for his
daily email tips:

http://superstrengthtraining.com/

And while you're there, be sure to look
around. He's got over 70 great books and
courses, so I know you'll see something
you'd like.

Enjoy the interview, and have a great day!

The Dinosaur Power Breakfast

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Two quick notes and then we'll talk about
my favorite power breakfast:

1. The Dinosaur Files Quarterly

Issue no. 3 of the Dinosaur Files is ready
to go -- and it's a great issue, with tons of
terrific articles and photos:

Hardcopy

http://www.brookskubik.com/dinosaurfiles_quarterlyorder.html

By the way, the little monster has
jumped up to no. 4 in the Kindle Top
10 list in its category -- and that's in
just 24 hours. A big THANK YOU to
everyone who made that happen --
and to everyone who grabbed a hard-
copy edition, as well.

2. My Interview with Bill Hinbern

Is about 2 hours long -- covers some great
topics -- and should go up on YouTube very
soon.  I'll send an email when it's ready to
go.

We're breaking it into 5 chunks for
easy viewing and listening. Each
segment runs about 20 or 25
minutes.

3. The Dinosaur Power Breakfast!

As I'm typing this, Trudi is downstairs in the
kitchen working on a Dinosaur Power
Breakfast. That's good, because I had a
hard workout last night, and I'm hungry.

I always wake up hungry after a hard
workout -- even thought I follow the
workout with a big dinner. I think it's
because hard training -- with lots of
leg and back work -- kicks your
metabolism into hyper-overdrive.

So here's how Trudi does it.

She starts with one small blue or purple
potato, which she cooks in the microwave
and then sets aside to cool down. We like
blue and purple potatoes because they have
so many antioxidants -- even more than
blackberries or blueberries.

We grow our own potatoes, and can also
get them from the local farmers' market.
The potatoes from Happy Jack's Pumpkin
Farm are our favorites.

While she's cooking the potato, Trudi is
frying some bacon. It's from pastured
pork raised by Stan Gentle of Dreamcatcher
Farm. Stan is a regular at the local farmers'
market, and we buy all of our pork and beef
from him.

When the bacon is ready, she pours the
grease into a glass jar to save for future
use. We use bacon grease for frying eggs
and cooking grass fed Dino burgers for
lunch.

Trudi cuts the potato into bite-sized chunks
and fries them in butter until they are a
light golden color.

Sometimes she adds a small sliced carrot
for extra flavor and extra nutrition.

She tops the potatoes with spinach or other
fresh greens from the garden, covers the
pan, and lets it sit a while off the flame.

That allows the greens to steam cook. They
don't need much time or much heat. You
don't want to overcook them.

Now it's omelet time.

Trudi mixes four eggs from free-range, scratch
in the dirt chickens -- adds the potatoes and
greens -- and then adds the bacon, which she
cuts into bite-sized pieces.

She cooks it in bacon grease in a big frying
pan.

She serves the omelet with sliced tomato and
sliced cucumber on the side -- and sometimes
a sliced radish or two.

No toast, muffins, cereal or other grain
products -- just bacon, eggs and veggies.
The whole thing takes about as much time to
make as it took me to write this -- and it's a
pretty good breakfast for a hungry Dino.

Lots of protein, lots of Omega-3s, healthy
fats, high protein and medium to low carbs.

You can read more about diet and nutrition for
strength training and muscle building (and for
whacking the Lard Lumps) in Knife, Fork,
Muscle. It's available in hard copy, and
we're also releasing it in four parts as
Kindle e-books on Amazon. The first
part is already available -- the others will
be available soon:
