Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I know that weekends are a good time to
grab a book or course and expand your
knowledge of real-world, no-nonsense
strength training and muscle-building.
So I thought I'd make it easy by giving
you an email with some links that might
be of interest.
Some of them are hard-copy and some
are e-books. Even if you don't read e-
books, follow the links and check out
the rankings, the ratingas, the feedback
and the reviews. They change all the
time, and they're always interesting.
And it shows Amazon that there's a
real interest in old-school, Dino-style
strength training and muscle building.
And that's a good thing.
I'll give you seven links -- because, well,
seven is a lucky number.

Dinosaur Style Hand Balancing
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I cover hand-stand pushups in Dinosaur
Bodyweight Training and in the Dinosaur
Training Military Press and Shoulder Power
Course.
And I describe John Grimek's off the chart
hand-stand pushup and tiger-bend workouts
in my John Grimek training course.
So it's probably not surprising that many
readers have asked me to do a book or
on Dino-style handstand training or
Dinosaur hand balancing.
For example, this was in the e-mail box
last night:

But here's the problem.
I'm not a hand balancer. Never have been.
When I did handstand pushups by the bushel
basket, I did them with my feet touching the
wall, not the free-standing kind.
And I can't learn hand-balancing now
because I have glaucoma or pre-glaucoma
(the doc isn't sure which), and upside down
training is on the "don't do" list.

Learn Hand-Balancing with One of the All-Time Masters!
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
In my new training course, Dinosaur Training
Secrets, Vol. 1, I talk about famous old-time
strongmen.
One of the men I mention is Sig Klein,
the long-time gym owner in New York
city.
Klein was a truly remarkable man. Harry
Paschall called him "The Old Maestro" --
and it was a good name. Sig Klein was
a master of old-school physical culture.
In fact, he was what we would now call
a Triple Threat:
1. He was a weightlifting champion.
2. He was a bodybuilding champion.
3. He was one of the greatest hand-balancers
of all time.
And if you think about it, all three of
those things go together pretty darn well.
The combination of weight training and
hand-balancing may be the ideal way to
build strength, muscle and power -- and
to develop a perfect physique.
That's what Sig Klein believed -- and it's
one of the reasons he wrote a complete
course in hand-balancing.
That old course is incredibly rare. I've
seen almost all of the old-time books and
courses, but I've never seen this one. In
fact, I've never even seen a photo of the
cover.
But now -- after more than half a century --
Sig Klein's long-lost hand-balancing course
is available once again.
My friend John Wood has prepared a
great looking modern reprint edition
of the course, complete with John's
detailed commentary and guidance
to supplement the original course.
It's an outstanding course -- and it's
available right here:
http://www.oldtimestrongman.com/klein_handbalancing.html
So run on over and grab the little
monster -- and add some serious
hand-balancing to your training
program TODAY!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
P.S. If you like the course -- and I
know you will -- please post a review
on John's Kindle page. Help him get
the word out!
P.S. 2. If you don't have Dinosaur Training
Secrets, Vol. 1, go here to grab a copy:
http://www.brookskubik.com/dinosaur_secrets_01.html
And please post a review -- they really
do help!
P.S. 3. Thought for the Day: "If you want to

Important News and Updates for Dinos!
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I'm going to cover a couple of
quick updates in this post. So
I may bounce around a little,
sort of like Paul Anderson
repping some fast squats with
800 pounds.
1. Yesterday's Email Message
I received a ton of great feedback
to yesterday's email. Thanks very
much to everyone who sent a reply.
Several of you noted that you have
been diagnosed with glaucoma or
pre-glaucoma, and you appreciated
my comments about finding exercises
that won't generate potentially
harmful internal pressure for
your eyes.
Others said you were going to get an
eye exam and glaucoma screen -- which
is a good idea, and one of the reasons
why I sent the email.
And one reader unsubscribed. I was
sorry to see that, but hey, it happens.
2. The Diet and Nutrition Book
I've been working full-time seven days
a week on this one, and really putting
a lot of effort and energy into it.
The goal is to get it finished and out
the door to readers as soon as possible.
I'll keep you posted, but rest assured --
it won't be long now.
Also note -- this is "not just a diet
book." It's a book about making smart
choices that will help you build and
maintain life-long strength and health.
It's geared to strength athletes, of
course, and it covers trainees of all
ages.
We'll talk about protein, carbs, fats,
how and where to get the healthiest
and most nutritious foods, my take on
supplements, gaining weight, losing
weight, special advice for older
trainees, and how to sort through
all the diet and nutrition mumbo-
jumbo and peudo-science out there.
And it will NOT be a one-size fits all
book.
Far from it.
One of the things we'll cover is how to
develop an individualized diet and
nutrition plan that's best and most
effective for YOU.
Anyhow, I'm very excited about how it is
coming together, and I'm really looking
forward to the day we launch the big
pre-publication special.
3. Other Dino Projects
As soon as the diet and nutrition book
is finished, I'm going to work on some
more training courses -- and launch the
Dinosaur Files newsletter in expanded,
bigger than ever quarterly format. The
goal is to get two issues out the door
in 2014 and 4 issues out the door in
2015.
On the courses front, we'll probably start
with volume 3 in the History's Strongest
Men series. I have someone in mind, and
I think you're going to agree that he
deserves a course of his own!
4. Questions from Readers
The bad part about being so busy with
Dino projects is that I can't keep up
with the emails I receive from readers.
So if you send an email and I don't
get back to you right away, that's why.
There just aren't enough hours in the
day.
I will try to answer all questions --
but understand that I receive MANY of
them every day, and it is impossible to
get back to all of them right away.
5. Something Terrific for Hand-balancing
Fans!
Finally, if you haven't already seen it,
here's something new and terrific for
hand-balancing fans -- a very rare
hand-balancing course authored by
none other than the Maestro himself,
Sig Klein. My buddy John Wood has
done a reprint edition of the course,
and it is getting rave reviews.
John is doing a hard-copy version
and a Kindle version of the course.
I understand the hard-copy version
is not yet ready, but you can grab
the Kindle version right now -- by
going right here:
http://www.oldtimestrongman.com/klein_handbalancing.html
I understand the server crashed 2x
yesterday after John launched this
little baby, so it looks like it's
an official best seller.
6. The Wrap-Up
That's it for now. I have to get back to
the diet and nutrition book!
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. Did you know that John Grimek was
a master hand-balancer? I cover some of
his hand-balancing feats in my John
Grimek training course:
http://brookskubik.com/johngrimek_course.html
P.S. 2. My other books and courses are
right here:

two directions are forward and back.
Forward is the best choice."
