How to Add Three Inches of Muscle to Your Quads - Fast!

John Grimek would have liked the training program described in today's Blog post - in fact, he used something very similar as a young man!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Everyone wants to build their arms
when they start training.

You know - the old "baseball biceps"
and "horseshoe triceps" thing.

The "big guns."

The "pythons."

Now, there's nothing wrong with
wanting to build bigger and
stronger arms (heck, I've written
several courses about how to do it).

But leg specialization is better and
more important.

Add an inch or two - or even three -
to your upper thighs, and you'll
literally transform your body.

You'll be bigger, thicker, stronger and
more muscular - better conditioned -
and those T levels that everyone
worries about nowadays will go
right through the roof!

That's why I like to include leg
specialization programs in The
Dinosaur Files strength training
newsletter.

And the Sept-Oct issue has a very
good one.

It's a very unusual program built
around the 20-rep breathing squat.

Now, that may sound like something
you already know about - but it isn't.

This one is different.

It starts different than the standard
program - and it includes a unique
and very effective progression
system.

And it works.

How well?

Get this.

The Dino who used it added THREE
INCHES of muscle to each thigh.

He also doubled his strength in the
20-rep squat - and increased his
endurance enormously.

And that's something worth reading
about.

The Sept-Oct issue of The Dinosaur
Files is right here - in a downloadable
PDF format with immediate electronic
delivery:

Check it out - and give the program
a try.

I want to see more Quadzillas walking
around!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

Squats Are Zen

Reg Park trained hard and heavy on basic exercises. Squats were one of his favorites - and as you can see, they worked pretty well for him!

2. Squats Are Zen

The Small One went to the gym and
trained for many hours.

He bombed, blasted and blitzed.

He did all the exercises he read about
in the muscle magazines.

He used all the machines - some of
them twice!

He did high reps, peak contraction
and burns. Pumped everything to the
max. Double pumped his pecs. Triple
pumped his delts.

He finished with three hours of Mega-
Maxi Super Insanity Ultra Intensity
Monster Maker Hypertrophy Training
for his bi's and tri's.

After his workout, he stopped to watch
the Big Man.

The Big Man was training, too. He was
doing a strange exercise with many
plates on the bar.

The Small One had never seen this
exercise. And he had never seen so
many plates. He wondered where
they came from.

The Big Man did rep after rep of the
strange new exercise. The bar bent
as he did his reps.

The Small One watched him curiously.

When the Big Man had finished his
set, the Small One walked over to
him.

"What are you doing, Big Man?" he
asked.

"Squats," said the Big Man.

"What are squats?" asked the Small
One.

"Squats are zen," said the Big Man.

"I did 20 sets of Himalayan curls,"
said the Small One. "Are they zen?

"They're probably not even Himalayan,"
said the Big Man as he loaded more
plates onto the squat bar.

"Why are squats zen?" asked the Small
One.

"Do squats today, and tomorrow your
legs will give you the answer," said the
Big Man.

He taught the Small One how to do
squats. The Small One did five sets
of five reps.

The next day, the Small One's legs were
so sore he could barely walk. It was a
big surprise to him. He never got sore
anywhere else, even if he pumped for
hours and hours. Being sore was a
totally new experience for him.

"My legs are trying to tell me something,"
he said. "I wonder what it is."

The Small One went to ask the Big Man.

"My legs are terribly sore," said the
Small One. "What does it mean?"

"It means that squats are zen" said
the Big Man.

Moral of the Story:

1. Strength training is zen.

2. 5 x 5 and similar set/rep systems
are zen.

3. Hard work on basic exercises is zen.

4. Concentration, focus and intensity
are zen.

5. Muscle magazine silliness is not
zen.

6. Himalayan curls are not zen - even
if you do 20 sets of them.

7. Squats are zen.

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

And remember - grab the March issue of
The Dinosaur Files. It's zen, too:

Last Night's Workout

Barbell, basement, lifter - the good things in life never seem to change.

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

The winter weather has been crazy this year,
and I know that many of you are staying at
home - or working on shoveling out, which
is a full time job for many Dinos in places
where it has snowed.

We haven't had to deal with snow or ice,
but it HAS been bitterly cold here in Louis-
ville.

My last outdoor workout was on Christmas.
Since then, I've been training down in the
basement.

But even in the basement, it's been pretty
darn cold. So I bundle up in double layers,
throw on a fisherman's hat, and stick to
basic, easy to perform movements that
work better when it's hard (or impossible)
to get a good warm-up and stay loose and
limber.

Last night I did back squats, using my Dave
Draper Top Squat device. It's a good exercise
for cold weather training.

I really like this piece of equipment. It's made
to order for older Dinos with tight shoulders
that make it difficult or impossible to hold a
squat bar with a conventional hands on the
bar grip.

Anyhow, I warmed up - as much as I could -
and then did *lots* of squats for the next
hour or so.

I twisted my back in June, and have not been
able to do squats or front squats for about
five months, so I am working back into them
very slowly and conservatively.

Right now, I am viewing the Top Squat work
as more of a rehabilitation program than any-
thing else.

That means light weight and many sets. I do
five reps per set.

Last night I did 20 sets of five reps - which of
course is way more than I would do if I were
using heavy weights on my work sets.

But for the present - in rehab mode - the high
sets work pretty well.

Rehab work means light weight and many reps -
although you can break them into many sets, as
I did last night.

I also super-setted some laundry with my squats.
We have a washer and dryer down in the base-
ment, and they both put out a bit of heat - so I
made sure I had both the washer and the dryer
going for half an hour before I trained - and for
the entire time that I was training.

It didn't help much, but it helped a little - and
that was good.

When it comes to cold weather training, every
little thing that helps keep you warm will help
you have a great workout.

And besides, super-setting squats and laundry
is a good way to keep your wife happy - and
that's always a good thing!

Anyhow, that was last night's workout - nothing
heavy and nothing earth shattering, but all of it
a step on the road toward achieving my strength
and health goals for the coming year.

You're probably doing something very similar -
so if you train today, STAY WARM - and make it
a good one!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

Rainy Day Workouts

 

It's raining cats and dogs today - and it will stay that way all day long - so today's workout will be squats down in the basement.

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Two quick notes and then we'll talk
iron.

1. The Old-School Strength Training
Q and A


Do you have volumes 1 and 2 in
my Old School Strength Training
Q and A series?

If not, you can grab them right
here:

Vol. 1 in my Old-School Strength Q and A series has been a big hit - and so has vol. 2!

http://www.brookskubik.com/oldschool-qanda.html

And remember, there's a special bonus
with vol. 2 - a copy of the October 2017
issue of The Dinosaur Files newsletter.

2. Back Issues of Strength and
Health

We still have some six issue sets of
Strength and Health magazine
from the 1940's.

The November 1940 issue of Strength and Health - with rugged Louis Abele on the cover.

They're $60.00 plus s&h for each
set.

Old issues of Strength and Health
are a gold-mine of training advice -
and they give you a very clear
picture of what a man can do
for himself with nothing but a
barbell, dumbbells and squat
stands - as well as showing you
what old-fashioned, drug-free
muscular development looks
like.

If you're interested, shoot me
an email.

The outdoor lifting area at Dino Headquarters. It's not fancy, but it gets the job done.

3. Rainy Day Workouts

If I had my druthers, I'd be outside
doing snatches or clean and jerks
this afternoon - training in the out-
side lifting area at Dino Headquarters -
a/k/a some heavy rubber mats on the
drive-way behind our duplex.

I train there because I much prefer
to train at home - alone - where I can
focus and concentrate on what I'm
doing.

I do overhead lifting outside because
the garage floor slopes and has a big
drain in the middle - and the ceiling
in the basement is too low for over-
head lifting.

Rubber mats on a driveway are not
ideal, but they're not too bad.

You can do quite a bit with a minimal
amount of equipment - and you can
have a lot of fun doing it.

Anyhow, as I said, my preference
would be to train outside today and
do overhead lifting.

But it's raining cats and dogs right
now - and it's supposed to keep on
raining all day long - so I'm going
to stay inside and do squats in the
basement.

The indoor training area at Dino Headquarters. It's amazing what you can do with a minimum amount of basic equipment and a relatively small place to train.

I have my squat stands set up and
ready to go - right next to the old
beater bar I use for squats - and
next to the wooden plate-holding
frame my stepson Dan built for me
as a Christmas present a couple of
years ago.

So I'm all set.

Barbell, basement, lifter.

Is it perfect?

No - but it's pretty darn good.

And I'm looking forward to it.

Wherever you are, I hope you're
thinking along similar lines - and
getting ready to make the most
of each and every training day -
including the rainy days!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

I train at home - and for more
about making your workouts

circumstances, take a look at

Squats and Vitamin D

 

Time for some squats and Vitamin D at Dino Headquarters!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

It was a cold but sunny day, so I
decided to train outside.

Vitamin D is a good thing.

I bundled up. Three layers on top,
with the last layer being my York
Barbell Club hoodie (purchased
from John Wood). It's gray with
black letters (guy colors) and it's
nice and warm.

I went down to the basement,
opened the garage door, and set
up the rubber mats to make my
outdoor lifting area.

Then I moved the squat stands
and the the barbell outside.

The plates came next.

The drive-way was now a fully
equipped, fully functional old
school gym.

You can see photos of it on my
Instagram page:

https://www.instagram.com/brooks_kubik/

And you can read more about
it - and see some embedded
video - in the February issue
of the Dinosaur Files:

http://www.brookskubik.com/dinosaurfiles-february2017.html

I warmed up, got loose and ready
to go, and then I hit it.

Front squats, starting light and
working up to five heavy singles.

Finished up, put the squat stands
and the barbell back in the
basement, and put the rubber
mats back in the garage.

It was a simple drive-way once
more, instead of a world-class
gym.

I went upstairs to grab some
dinner.

I had earned it.

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

The Squat Every Hour Program!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

I thought today would be the perfect
day to unveil the big breakthrough in
strength training and muscle building.

It's guaranteed to put 200 pounds on
your squat in just one week - while
doubling or perhaps even tripling
the muscle mass of your thighs,
hips and lower back.

It's been tested at major universities,
and in double-blind tests, previously
untrained college freshmen have
increased their one rep max in the
squat by an average of 157 pounds
per week for the entire 12-week
program.

In addition, they increased their
vertical jump by an average of
8.497 inches per workout.

They also increased their speed in
the 40 yard dash so much that it
became impossible to accurately
measure their speed of motion.

Of course, as you might expect, the
pros are all using the new system -
and reporting great results. One top
champion with over 20 years training
experience increased his total body
mass by over 40% in just three
days. He says it's the most effective
training program he's ever used.

Here's the program:

You perform 12 workouts every day.

Each workout is 30 minutes long.

For the first workout of the day, you
perform five warm-up sets in the
back squat, followed by one set to
maximum muscular failure.

Then perform five lighter sets to
keep the blood pumping into the
quads. Rest 10 seconds between
the pump sets.

The entire workout takes only 30
minutes.

This is your mass and hypertrophy
workout.

Rest 30 minutes, and then repeat the
workout. However, in the second workout,
do five warm-up sets followed by 10 singles
with your maximum weight. Rest 15 seconds
between the singles. Perform all reps at 125%
of your maximum top speed.

This is your strength, speed and power
workout.

Rest another 30 minutes and then take your
third squat workout. This is your light session.
Do 2000 continuous reps with bodyweight on
the bar. This helps recovery and prepares your
body for the next heavy workout.

Alternate the three workouts every hour for
12 hours.

Perform the 12-workout per day program
every day for 90 days, adding weight to the
bar every third day.

The program is called Maxabolic Hyperbole
12-Phase Gain Blast Training, or MH 12P GBT.

Of course, before giving it a try, you might
want to check the date on the calendar.

Happy First Day of April, everyone!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

P.S. The March issue of The Dinosaur Files
newsletter doesn't cover MH 12P GBT, but it
does give you tons of great training tips
from me and from your fellow Dinosaurs.

The Man Who Sprinted Up the Rocky Mountains

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Many years ago, a man who lived in
Alliance, Nebraska went on vacation
way out in the rugged Colorado Rockies.
His name was Peary Rader. He was the
founder, editor and publisher of the old
Iron Man magazine.

Back home in Nebraska, there were few
opportunities to climb mountains -- and
certainly no opportunity to climb anything
remotely like the Rocky Mountains.

But to his surprise, Peary found that he
was as fast and nimble as a mountain
goat.

He literally ran up the side of some of the
steep slopes, leaving his friends far behind
him as they trudged slowly and doggedly
up the trail.

He also discovered that he had tremendous
endurance.

He could climb mountains all day without
feeling tired -- and when he woke up the
next morning, he was ready for more!

Now, you might ask if he did a lot of running
back home to get ready for the trip.

Surprisingly, he did none at all.

You might wonder if he did some sort of
intense cardio training -- perhaps riding
a bicycle?

Again, he did none at all.

Or long walks?

Nope.

Or you might think he was on some kind
of special, six-day a week, high volume
training program to build maximum work
capacity.

Again, the answer is no.

Peary trained just twice a week, using a
simple program and a small number of
basic exercises.

His primary exercise was the squat.
He did one set of 20 reps with all the
weight he could handle.

He did breathing squats -- meaning that
he took several huge, enormous breaths
in-between every rep. He breathed so hard
the plates rattled on the bar.

He used the breathing squat program as
a way of gaining muscular bodyweight
and strength. It worked great. In his first
two years on the program, he gained
close to 100 pounds of muscle -- and went
on to be a regional weightlifting champion
for several years.

But the squats also gave him tremendous
endurance. The trip to the Rocky Mountains
proved it.

It's another example of what we talked about
yesterday -- using your weight training to
build a superb combination of strength,
power and endurance.

Yes, you can get a great conditioning workout
and build tremendous stamina and endurance
with your barbell workouts.

Peary Rader proved it.

programs to build strength, muscle and
outstanding condition, grab a copy of
Chalk and Sweat. It has 50 terrific
workouts, and they'll get you into
great shape faster than you can say

Bundle Up and Do Squats!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

If you live in the USA or Canada,
then you're probably facing some
serious winter weather right now.

We're in the middle of a major
arctic blast, and it's C-O-L-D
outside.

Heck, it's cold inside.

I'm still training out in the
garage, but I've changed things
around a bit due to the cold.

Instead of snatches and clean and
jerks, I'm doing squats and high
pulls. Squats are full back squats
in one workout, donkey to grass style,
and front squats, same style, in the
next squat session. High pulls are
snatch grip in one workout and clean
grip in the next.

Why the change?

Because it's COLD -- and that means
it's hard to get warmed up and loose
and ready to do the full lifts.

And doing full lifts in an ice-box is
just inviting injury.

So this week and next, I'm doing basic
strength exercises that don't require
as much flexibility and mobility.

The workouts go pretty fast. I start
light, add weight to the bar on each
set, work up to a heavy weight and do
5 x 3 with it.

It's called "making adjustments" -- and
it's something that many of you are doing
and will continue to do until until we
get past the current cold spell.

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

Yours in strength,

Heavy Squatting, Scottish Style!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

They say that where there's a will, there's
a way.

Kevin Halligan has proved it.

Kevin is one of our many Scottish Dinosaurs.

He couldn't find a gym with the right sort
of vibe -- an all-Dino vibe -- so he set
up shop at home.

Not in his basement.

Not in his garage.

In his backyard.

He has the basics. Barbell, plates and a
heavy0duty power rack.

And he trains outside all year round.

Even in the winter.

I got a note from Kevin earlier today.

He's planning to do one of my favorite
workouts -- Nothing But Squats.

You warm up, get loose, and get the blood
flowing.

Then you do a warm-up set of squats.

Any style. Back squats, front squats,
bottom position squats, whatever.

Add weight and gradually work up to
something heavy.

Sets and reps are up to you.

And that's your whole workout -- Nothing
But Squats.

The beauty is that it allows you to focus
on one thing, and work it into the ground.
And squats are a good thing to focus on.

Now that you know about the Nothing But
Squats workout, let's go back to Kevin.

He's standing outside next to his power
rack.

The bar is loaded for bottom position
squats.

And it's cold. There are gale force winds
in Scotland today. And it's snowing.

And there's our Dinosaur -- bundled up
in several layers -- squatting hard and
heavy in his backyard power rack.

I may have to change the name of the workout.

We'll call it the Nothing But Squats, Gale
Force Winds and a Scottish Winter Workout.

Anyhow, Kevin hit it Dino style -- hard and
heavy -- and he had a great one.

If you train today, do the very same thing.

Yours in strength,

P.S. You can see other leg specialization
programs in Chalk and Sweat -- including John
Grimek's squat routine. Extra good for packing
on serious muscle mass:

thing at a time and and do it perfectly."
