Will You Take the Dinosaur Challenge?

Reg Park built one of the greatest physiques in history through old-school training combined with tons of hard work and gallons of sweat.


Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Last week, I sent a number of what I thought
were good, interesting, informative, inspiring
and useful e-mails.

They all focused on old-school training and
old-school thinking.

Hard work, heavy iron, progressive training
on the basic exercises, persistence, dedication
and determination.

And in response,  we had several readers
unsubscribe from our email list.

Yep, they unsubscribed.

Got up, walked out, let the door slam behind
them, and kept on walking.

They decided they didn't want to hear about
old-school strength training and muscle building
any more.

And that's a shame.

The sad thing was, they were all YOUNGER
Dinos.

Last week's emails were aimed at younger Dinos --
to encourage them to give sane, sensible, real
world training a try -- and to push themselves
to make the most of their training in their teens
and twenties, rather than wasting those years on
high volume boobybuilding routines, "bombing,
blasting and blitzing," and similar silliness.

And I even gave some examples of old-school
champions who trained the right way from day
one -- and made great gains in strength and
muscle very rapidly.

I THOUGHT it would be an encouraging message
for the younger Dinos -- but apparently, some of
them didn't want to hear it. Perhaps it even made
them a little mad.

I think part of the reason for that is that so many
younger trainees have grown up hearing nothing
but bad advice -- and they've never been exposed
to the kind of training that really works.

They've only learned about the silly stuff.

So when I share stories about old-timers like John
Grimek or Steve Stanko making great gains in their
first couple of years of training, the younger readers
just don't believe it.

That's a shame, because it keeps them from trying
the kind of programs that will give them really good
results -- and it keeps them hooked on the kind of
programs that don't deliver.

So let me say this to everyone out there who's
still doing the conventional workouts and not
getting very much in the way of results.

Give Dinosaur Training a try.

Don't sit there and scratch your head and wonder if
old-school training works.

Test it.

Start in on an abbreviated training program, use the
exercises, sets and reps that I teach in my books and
courses, follow the diet and nutrition advice in Knife,
Fork, Muscle
-- and see what happens.

Give it an honest try. Work hard. Make it a 3 month
or a 6 month commitment. Don't just try it for a week
and then jump to something else. You need to stick
to a training program long enough to make some
strength and muscle stick to you.

If it doesn't work, you can always go back to whatever
you were doing.

But if it DOES work -- if you discover that LESS training
(but doing it the RIGHT way) gives you much MORE in
the way of results -- then you have learned something
very important -- and very valuable.

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

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

A Dinosaur Challenge -- Who Said It?

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Let's do something a little different today.

Let's have a special challenge to the
Dinosaurs.

See if you can guess who said each of the
following quotes from famous Iron Game
figures. Shoot me an email with
your answers.

The first Dino to send me an email with all
10 correct answers wins a free Dinosaur
Training T-shirt.

The contest ends at midnight EST on Monday,
November 17, 2014.

If there is no winner, we'll try again in a
week or two, with another quiz.

And there may very well NOT be a winner --
because this one is darn hard.

In fact, it's really tough . . . but regular readers
may be able to piece together some of the
answers based on the words used in the
quote, the point of the quote, or even,
in some cases, some of the spelling
choices or capitalizations, which I am
reproducing exactly as they are in the
original quotes.

Still, it won't be easy . . . but even if there's
no winner, this is worth doing because these
10 quotes contain some very valuable nuggets
from the old Iron Mine.

Are you ready?

Get set.

Go.

WHO SAID IT?

1. "Unfortunately, dreams and reality are
different states. Just to dream that you can
lift 300 lbs is no sign that you can do it."

2. "Provided you are not organically sick,
a heavy training program, sensibly organized
and built around teeth-grinding squats, can
start you growing in size and strength like
a Dinosaur!"

3. "Most men will gain fine on two heavy
workouts per week, especially if there is plenty
of heavy leg and back work included."

4. "How shall we determine the proper amount
of exercise? This, in our opinion, becomes the
question of most vital import between the
instructor and the enthusiastic seeker after
results in physical improvement."

5. "The man who tries to develop all his body
by the use of a pair of light dumb-bells, is
laboring under a tremendous handicap."

6. "To build really big arms, the chest, lungs,
heart and other internal organs must be
strengthened and enlarged first."

7. "Poundage progression is critical. Never be
satisfied with any particular weight in any
particular exercise. This is NOT new information,
but modern trainees seem to have lost sight of it
entirely."

8. "To build muscles and strength, to build
stronger attachments, tendons, ligaments,
and cartiliges, it is necessary to use heavy
poundages."

9. "To be free from winter ailments this year,
two things are highly essential for you to
observe, and I reiterate: Diet and exercise."

10. "To maintain youthful spirits, the great
muscles of the body -- in fact all the muscles --
must be used with a certain amount of
regularity. That does not necessarily mean
daily -- most people hate a routine, but they
should be used frequently and vigorously
enough to thoroughly stir the circulatory
processes."

So there you go. Good luck!

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. 4. Thought for the Day: "Today's Friday. That
means it's either a good day to train, or a good day
to rest and recover from your most recent workout.
But it's got to be one or the other " -- Brooks Kubik
