a ton of other things going on today.

But I wanted to give you a a couple of quick
updates.

1. Strength and Health Magazine

I'm having a big book, course and magazine
sale. and that includes some rare issues of
Strength and Health magazine from the 30's

3. The Mystery Man

We have a winner - and I'll tell you  who it
is - and who the Mystery Man is - early next
week.

We had a ton of good guesses, and lots of
feedback - so thanks to everyone who gave
it a try!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

Paul Anderson on Physical Culture Radio!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

I do a podcast every week with Carl Lanore,
the host of SuperHuman Radio.

The show is called Physical Culture Radio.

We normally air on Thursday at 12:00 noon,
but sometimes we move the show to a
different day or time. This week's show aired
yesterday.

We talked about the best lift(s) to measure
your strength.

We also talked about Paul Anderson.

Carl had selected a photo of Paul Anderson
to preview the show. I think I freaked him
a little because I knew where the photo was
taken -- and when -- and I knew something
else that I believe happened on the same day.

It was a very famous impromptu lifting contest.

I heard about it from not one, but TWO gold
medal winners in weightlifting.

I also heard about it from one of our longtime
Dinos. He was there. He witnessed it.

Plus, there was a story about other events of
the same day in an old issue of Iron Man.

So we covered it on the show. It's a fun story
and a great piece of lifting history.

If you missed the live show, you can listen
to the download right here. That also let's
you see the photo of Big Paul:

http://superhumanradio.com/shr-1823-science-for-humans-huge-forearms-calves-physical-culture-radio-strength-power-botox-knee-pain.html

And here's some more fun for the Dino
Nation.

Trudi took some candid photos of yours
truly while we were doing the podcast.

I've shared them on Facebook, Twitter
and Instagram. So check them out on one
or the other. I'm on Facebook at Brooks
Kubik and on Twitter at #brookskubik
and #dinosaurtraining.

You can find me on Instagram right here:

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

Both photos show you how I talk with my
hands even when I'm on radio -- which
Trudi thinks is hilarious.

And one of them shows a side view of an
old wrestler's neck -- mine -- and I was
surprised to see how thick it is. I guess
that goes to show that barbell built muscle
lasts a long time.

In other news, I'm working on the March
issue of the Dinosaur Files. Be looking for
it soon. If you missed the December, January
or February issues, go here to grab them:

December 2015 Dinosaur Files

"You Should Go Home and Play Marbles, Kid!"

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

3. "You Should Go Home and Play Marbles,
Kid!"

Almost 100 years ago, there was a small,
skinny, dark haired kid who wanted to be
a weightlifter.

It seemed like a crazy idea.

He didn't look like a weightlifter.

He was one of the smallest kids in school,
and he wasn't very strong.

But somehow, he got the itch to be an Iron
Slinger.

He trained on his own for a bit, and later, with
some of his friends, but they didn't know what
they were doing, and they didn't get much in
the way of results.

Most guys would have given up. But not this
kid. He kept on trying.

He decided he needed to find a real gym, with
a real coach.

So he headed to the Big City and went to one
of the best gyms of the time -- run by one of
top weightlifting coaches of the era.

It was a good idea, but it didn't work very
well.

The coach watched him struggle with the
lightest weights in the gym, and decided
then and there not to waste time with the
kid.

And he was pretty blunt about it.

"You should go home and play marbles,"
he told him. "You'll never be a weight-
lifter."

You can imagine how that must have felt.

Sort of a punch in the gut and and a kick
in the teeth at the same time.

Or WWE meets American Idol.

It was one of the most brutal talent
assessments of all time.

It was also one of the worst coaching
decisions of all time.

The kid didn't go home. He kept on training.
He worked incredibly hard. Never missed a
workout. Hit everything hard and heavy.
Focused on his weaknesses, and made
them his strengths.

And through it all, he held a burning desire
to be a champion -- and an inflexible belief
that he would one day be the strongest man
of his weight in the entire world.

He achieved that goal at the 1936 Olympic
Games -- where Tony Terlazzo won the USA's
first ever Olympic gold medal in modern
weightlifting.

Yes, Tony Terlazzo.

One of the greatest weightlifters of his era --
and his coach told him to go home and play
marbles!

Take his story to heart.

I'm sure there's someone out there who's
telling YOU to go home and play marbles.

Don't listen to them.

Keep on training.

Keep on working to achieve your dreams.

Let nothing and no one stand in your way.

That's how Tony Terlazzo did it. And it's how
every champion has had to do it.

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

P.S. Start with a dream. Work to make it a
reality. Dinosaur Training will teach you how:

The Danger Zone -- On Physical Culture Radio!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Let's cover some important news and
updates for Dinos.

1. The Danger Zone -- On Physical
Culture Radio

Earlier in the week I talked about staying
out of the Danger Zone -- meaning the
place where you increase your volume
and/or intensity to the point where you
risk over-training or injury.

If you missed it, go here to read it at the
Dinosaur Training Blog:

http://dinosaurtraining.blogspot.com/2016/02/how-to-stay-out-of-danger-zone.html

We're going to go into more detail on this
important topic on today's episode of
Physical Culture Radio. Be sure to
listen to the live show at 12:00 noon
today (Eastern Time), or listen to the
download at your convenience.

Physical Culture Radio is part of the
SuperHuman Radio Network, and you
can find it right here:

http://superhumanradio.com/

This is going to be a terrific show. I'm
really looking forward to it.

2. The Dinosaur Files

The Dinosaur Files is back as a monthly
training magazine, available in PDF with
immediate electronic delivery. It's a great
little magazine, and if you're a Dino,
you're definitely going to want every
issue.

And the PDF delivery feature saves you
a ton on shipping and handling -- especially
for our international Dinos.

Classic Photos and Other Fun Stuff for Dinosaurs!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

I have a couple of quick notes and updates
for you.

1. Physical Culture Radio

Last week's episode of Physical Culture
Radio gives you an hour of high impact
training advice. We began by talking
about effective lower body training for
older Dinos, and it grew from there.

You can listen to it right here:

http://superhumanradio.com/shr-1811-physical-culture-radio-individualised-prescription-chronic-sleep-restriction-effects.html

I think this is one of the best shows I've
ever done. Let me know how you like
it.

2. Classic Photos on Instagram

I'm on Instagram now, and I'm posting
all sorts of classic photos, including:

A rare ad for Arthur Saxon's wonderful
book, Development of Physical Power.

Bert Assirati performing a one-hand
handstand - at around 260 or 280
pounds.

Grimek.

Norb Schemansky at about the time he
won his Olympic gold medal.

The cover of the extremely rare little
book, Secrets of the Squat Snatch.

A killer photo of George F. Jowett.

A patron's medal from the 1947 World
Weightlifting championships.

And there's more - much more:

iron gym where we met.

My first business card - from a Nautilus
club in Dayton, Ohio - I worked there
40 years ago.

A photo of me training at the Island
Gym I describe in Strength, Muscle
and Power.

Dino Headquarters.

Photos of the Dinosaur Dungeon.

My York Barbell Company paperweight -
which I keep next to me whenever I
write anything for the Dino Nation.

Videos from my workouts.

Dinosaur breakfasts, lunches and dinners.

Our favorite farmers and growers - and
our favorite farmers' market.

And lots more. I add to the list every day.

Go here to follow me on Instagram. We
have 746 followers right now, and I'm
looking for a 1,000 as fast as possible:

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

3. The February Dinosaur Files

Here's the link for the February issue of
the Dinosaur Files:

Powerlifting Programs for Dinosaurs

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

I'll keep this short and send a second email
later in the day.

Three things:

1. Physical Culture Radio.

I'll be on Physical Culture Radio with Carl
Lanore at 12:00 noon today (Eastern Time).

Catch the live show or listen to the down-
load at your convenience. Find us at:

http://superhumanradio.com/

2. My Daily Emails.

Several readers have dropped off our email
list -- and we don't know why or how. I send
emails Mon - Sat, so if you miss them, you've
fallen off the list.

If that ever happens, go back to my website
and sign back up -- and pls send an email to
let me know what happened.

You can find any missed emails at The Dinosaur
Training Blog. I always post my emails at the
Blog. For example, here' s the email from
yesterday:

http://dinosaurtraining.blogspot.com/2016/01/train-for-strength-eat-for-health.html

You can access the Blog from my website.
The link is in the drop-down bar.

We're also on Facebook, Instagram and
Twitter. Follow us on those. It's another
good way to keep up, and you'll see some
fun photos and videos that don't make it
into the daily emails.

I'm on Facebook at "Brooks Kubik" and on
Instagram at #brookskubik and (of course)
at #dinosaurtraining. I'm at "Brooks Kubik"
on Twitter.

Any questions, send me an email!

3. Dinosaur Powerlifting.

Several readers have asked for Dinosaur style
powerlifting programs. You can find plenty of
powerlifting workouts in Strength, Muscle and
Power -- including a detailed review of how I
trained when I was competing in powerlifting
and bench press comps:

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

There's also a terrific all-new power rack
training program for powerlifters in The
Dinosaur Strength Training Archive,
Vol. 1.

Why a power rack training program?

Because that's far and away the best way for
powerlifters to train. It's how I built my bench
press to the point where I was able to win five
National championships in the bench press,
and also win a number of state and regional
championships in powerlifting.

Go here to grab the little monster:

That turned out to be longer than I thought
it would be. But that's okay -- I'll still send
another email later today. Be looking for it!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

All Out Exercises for Strength and Power!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Before we talk about sets and reps, I want
to thank everyone for all of the kind words
and emails about Marcel. Trudi and I
appreciate it enormously.

Carl Lanore let me dedicate yesterday's
episode of Physical Culture Radio to Marcel.

It turned out to be a great memorial for a
truly wonderful and amazing cat. If you
missed it, you can listen to it here:

http://superhumanradio.com/shr-1787-physical-culture-radio-living-life-like-marcel-almonds-10-grams-a-day-helps-keep-the-doctor-away.html

On the training front, let's talk a bit more
about Bradley J. Steiner's "Essential Exercises."
I covered this in an email on Monday.

If you missed it, go to the Dinosaur Training
Blog and read it there. By the way, I post all
of my emails on the Blog, so if you ever miss
an email, you can always find it at the Blog.
You can access the Blog from the drop down
bar at my website.

Anyhow, one of Steiner's essential exercises for
the back was the power clean.

I agree that the power clean belongs on the list,
but I'd go a bit further and add a number of
other weightlifting movements to the program.

Some people call these "All Out" exercises. That's
an excellent term for them.

And I'll tell you something else. I very much wish
that someone had taught me to focus on these
exercises when I was a kid. It would have been
the best thing ever for my wrestling. I was a
very good wrestler in high school -- I won a
state championship in Greco-Roman wrestling --
but I would have been twice as good if I had
trained with All Out exercises.

So here are some exercises that I consider to
be "Essential Exercises" for athletes -- and for
anyone who wants to increase their strength
and power enormously:

1. Power cleans

2. Clean grip high pulls

3. Power Snatches

4. Snatch grip high pulls

5. The power clean and press

6. The power clean and push press

7. The power clean and jerk

8. Push presses

9. Jerks

10. Snatch grip deadlifts

11. Clean grip deadlifts

12. Snatch grip or clean grip deadlifts
with a shrug at the top of the movement

All of the exercises listed above provide a triple
benefit. They simultaneously:

1. Build your strength and explosive power.

2. Improve your speed, balance, coordination,
timing and athleticism.

3. Train the heck out of your legs, back, hips
and shoulder girdle (which are the true keys
to Herculean super strength).

4. Build strong, thick bones.

5. Strengthen your nervous system, and help
maintain a strong mind-muscle link and
athletic movement patterns -- which makes
them very important for healthy aging.

For details on how to work these movements
into your training programs, see:

1. Chalk and Sweat (50 workouts from beginners
to advanced men, with many workouts featuring
weightlifting exercises):

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. Again, thanks for the kind words about Marcel.
Trudi and I miss him terribly, but we are hanging in
there. Our other cat, Louie, misses Marcel, too. He
sits on the back porch, waiting for his friend to
come home. So we're being extra good to Louie.
It's a tough time for him. He and Marcel have been
together ever since Marcel joined us 10 years ago.

P.S. 2. You'd be surprised how many Dinosaurs are
big animal lovers. It seems to be a part of our Dino
DNA.

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

The Dinosaur Christmas Story -- And More!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Three quick notes -- but they're all
very important.

1. The Dinosaur Christmas Story.

Here's part 2 of the Dinosaur Christmas
Story for 2015:

http://dinosaurtraining.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-strongmans-christmas-part-2.html

We'll run part 3 of the story tomorrow.
I hope you're enjoying it.

Have you figured out who the strongman
is?

2. Phyiscal Culture Radio.

We're doing something new and different
on Physical Culture Radio today. I'm going
to read one of my favorite Dinosaur
Christmas Stories from several years ago.

The whole show will be the Christmas
Story -- and it will be a good one.

Physical Culture Radio is part of the
SuperHuman Radio network -- and you
can find us right here at 12:00 EST
every Thursday:

http://superhumanradio.com/

If you miss the live show, catch the
download later on.

This is going to be a terrific show. I don't
think any other strength training podcasts
have ever featured anyone reading an
original Christmas story -- and I have to
tell you, it's a heck of a story.

3. The January Dinosaur Files.

We've released the January issue of the
Dinosaur Files -- and Dinos around the
world are grabbing the little monster.

And they're LOVING it. We're getting rave
reviews.

Go here to grab your copy of the January
Dinosaur Files:

http://www.brookskubik.com/dinosaurfiles_januaryr2016.html

Of course, if you missed the December issue
of The Dinosaur Files, you should start there
first. Go here to grab it:

The Biggest Mistake that People Make in their Training

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Carl Lanore and I did a very interesting show
on Physical Culture Radio last week. The theme
was 20 Questions. We set ourselves a goal of
answering 20 questions from listeners over the
course of the 60-minute show.

It was fast, fun and filled with a surprising
amount of good information. If you missed
it, here's the link for the download:

http://superhumanradio.com/shr-1759-physical-culture-radio-20-questions-ground-based-training.html

One of the questions was, "What's the
biggest mistake that people make in
their training?"

My answer was one word:

"Over-training."

Carl had a different answer:

"Consistency -- or rather, the lack of
consistency."

I asked him what he meant, and he
explained it something like this:

"Most people don't stick to a program
long enough to get results. They do
something for a week or two, and then
they stop and start doing something
else."

"Why do they do that?" I asked.

"Because they're not getting immediate
results -- or because they get bored --
or because they read about something
else, and they think it's better."

"You see it all the time," I said. "I call
it program hopping."

He laughed.

"Program hopping. I like that. That's
what it is."

There was more to say, but it was time
for the next question, so we had to move
on. After all, we were on a tight time
schedule. Twenty questions in 60 minutes
means you have to move fast.

But to expand on the point . . .

I still think that over-training is the most
common problem out there -- but I think
Carl made an excellent point about the
program hoppers.

Program hopping is a very common
problem.

Real results take time. You don't build
strength and muscle overnight. You do it
over a period of months and years.

When you start a new program, you
should start light and easy, and gradually,
over time, build up the weights and
increase the intensity.

The first four to six weeks of any new
program are the foundational weeks.
They lay the foundation for the real
work that comes later.

If you start a new program and then
jump to a new one a few weeks later,
you always stay in the foundational
period. That's why program hopping
doesn't work.

Of course, Dinos don't do that sort of
thing. Dinos set goals, make plans and
take action -- and they keep moving
forward -- and they stick to the
program. That's why they get
results.

So I'm not talking to the Dinos when I
say, "Don't be a program hopper."

But I AM speaking to a lot of other
people -- so feel free to share this
with anyone who needs to hear it.

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. I cover effective progression programs
in Dinosaur Training Secrets, Vol. 3 -- and

20 Questions for Brooks and Carl

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

We had a great show yesterday on Physical
Culture Radio.

Physical Culture Radio is part of the Super-
Human Radio network. I co-host the show
with Carl Lanore every Thursday at 12:00
noon EST. You can listen to the live show
or download the podcast whenever you
have time to listen.

The format for yesterday's show was a
little different than most of our shows.
We had a special guest on for the first
10 or 15 minutes, and then we played
20 questions for the rest of the
broadcast.

We selected 20 questions from listeners,
and Carl and I tried to answer all 20 of
them -- which means we had to go
pretty darn fast!

Did we do it?

Well, you'll just have to tune in and see.

Go here to listen to the download:

http://superhumanradio.com/shr-1759-physical-culture-radio-20-questions-ground-based-training.html

Some of the questions were pretty good,
and it wasn't easy to answer them in
30 to 60 seconds -- but we did our best.

I hope you enjoy the show!

In other news, I wanted to mention two
things:

1. Sweatshirts and Hoodies

We have a LIMITED number of Grey Hair
and Black Iron sweatshirts in L and 3XL --
and some Dinosaur Training hoodies in
S, M, L, and XL -- and one 3XL. These
are great for cold weather workouts, so
if you're interested, shoot me an email
and ask for prices and availability.

We don't have many, so if you're interested,
shoot in an email asap.

2. The New Training Course

Our new training course is available with
electronic delivery. You order the course,
and you get a link so you can download
the course immediately -- and there are
no shipping charges.

The course covers effective training for
older Dinos, and includes some very
important tips, along with a complete
training program. Go here to grab it:

The Goal Directed Workout

 Louis Abele used goal-directed training to add 100 pounds of muscle to his body - and to become one of the strongest men in the world.

 
Hail to the Dinosaurs!

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

1. Physical Culture Radio.

We have a great show planned today for
Physical Culture Radio. Catch us live at
12:00 noon or listen to the download
at your convenience. Find us at:

http://superhumanradio.com/

I'll post the link to the show on my
Facebook page -- so be sure to friend
me on Facebook. We're also on Twitter
and Instagram now. You can find us
at "brooks kubik" and #brookskubiik
or #dinosaurtraining.

2. The New Training Course.

Our new training course with digital
delivery is getting rave reviews. Go
here to grab the little monster:

http://www.brookskubik.com/minicourse_01.html

Please shoot me an email and let me know
how you like the course and the digital
delivery. If you want more of these, we
can do them -- but let me know!

3. The Goal Directed Workout.

Training is important, but it's not enough
to just "train."

For real results, you need to train with a
purpose.

You need to have a goal.

You're not just training for the sake of
training. That's manual labor. You work
up a sweat, and you puff and pant, and
maybe you even feel sore the next day.

That's good, but it's just the beginning.
For real results, you need to do goal
directed training.

You need to train with a purpose.

Find something that you desperately
want to do or to achieve. That's your
goal.

It might be hitting a particular weight
in the squat, deadlift or bench press --
or in the standing press -- or in Olympic
lifting.

It might be hitting 300/400/500.

It might be building 17 inch upper arms.

It might be gaining 20 pounds of muscle.

It might be losing 50 pounds of flab.

It might be qualifying for and competing
in a particular contest or competition in
your chosen sport.

It might be setting a record -- winning a
state, regional or national championship --
or even a World championship.

It might relate to health. Getting your blood
pressure or your blood sugar where it needs
to be.

It might be beating a serious illness -- or
coming back after an injury.

The point is, it's YOUR goal -- and it means
something very important to YOU.

Your goal empowers you. It drives you to
train harder and harder. It's the most
demanding coach you could ever have.

Of course, your goal is a long term goal. You
won't achieve it overnight -- and you won't
achieve it easily. It will take a long time --
and plenty of chalk and sweat -- to get
there.

Your goal is the greatest motivator you
could ever find. It burns with a white hot
fire every second of every day.

And it will carry you to greatness.

So take a second, and think about it.

Why are you training?

What's your goal?

And what do you need to do to make it a
reality?

Answer those questions, and you've taken
an important first step on the road to
strength, muscle and might.

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

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

What Science Tells Us about Exercise and Bone Building

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Two quick notes and then we'll talk
training.

1. Physical Culture Radio

This week's show is at 12:30 today
rather than our usual 12:00 on
Thursday.

Listen live or catch the download at
your convenience:

http://superhumanradio.com/

2. The Dinosaur Files Quarterly

Issue no. 4 of the Dinosaur Files
Quarterly is at the printer and will
be ready to ship soon.

If you prefer hard copy, go here to
reserve your copy:

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

We'll release the Kindle e-book version
of issue no. 4 of the DFQ as soon as we
can -- and I'll send an email with a link
when it's ready.

3. Building the Bones, Part 2

We got a ton of feedback in response
to Monday's email about building the
bones.

Sandro, one of our Brazilian Dinos,
noted that Pat O'Shea covered this issue
in Quantum Strength Fitness II.

So let's see what science says about
exercise and bone building:

1. Bone mineral density (BMD) begins to
diminish at age 35.

2. BMD loss accelerates at age 50.

3. Men lose about 17% of the bone mass
that they had as young adults.

4. Women lose about 30%.

5. There's a term for age-related bone loss
and you've probably heard it before:
osteoporosis.

6. The amount of bone mass one has as
a young adult influences how much bone
mass one has later in life -- which is one
reason why it's best to begin training at
a fairly early age (i.e., as a teenager).

a. This is also a reason to start training
NOW even if you are past the teenage
years.

b. The sooner you start training, the
better.

7. Low BMD leads to fractures in older
adults -- this is why a slip and fall can
be so dangerous for an older person.

8. Athletes -- especially those involved in
strength sports, have BMD 2 to 3 standard
deviations above average.

9. Nutritional factors affect BMD loss,
including the lack of sufficient calcium
and vitamin D, and excessive alcohol use.

10. Strength training is the single most
important factor in preventing
or reducing BMD loss.

11. Go back and re-read no. 10.

a. Now read it again.

12. This is why strength training is such a
critical part of healthy aging -- and why it is
so important for everyone, at every age.

By the way, I should also note that Pat
O'Shea had a strong preference for Dino-
style strength training, including:

A preference for free weights

Athletic exercises (squats, snatches, cleans,
push presses, and jerks)

Powerlifting exercises (squats, bench press,
deadlift)

Power rack training

Isometronics and isometrics

Hiking and other outdoor activities

In short, EVERYTHING we've been saying
about exercise and bone density is validated
by science.

In other words, you really can build your
bones -- and you really need to do so.

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. Gray Hair and Black Iron covers effective
strength training Dinos age 35 and up -- and
that includes the kind of training that will build
and maintain strong and healthy bones:

How I Set a New PR on My Birthday

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

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

1. Thank You!

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes. It made
my day to hear from so many Dinos around the
world.

2. A SuperHuman Contest -- and a Big Prize!

Carl Lanore is running a special "secret word"
contest on SuperHuman Radio. The prize is a
complete set of all five of my Legacy of Iron
books -- autographed by yours truly.

There will be one winner, and it might be you
if you listen to the show and enter the contest.

Tune into today's episode of Physical Culture
Radio at 12:00 EST for details:

http://superhumanradio.com/

If you miss the live show, download the podcast
later on. It's always agreat show, and I'm really
looking forward to today's episode.

3. Bodyweight Training DVD's

We found some of my Dinosaur Bodyweight Training
DVD's on a back shelf the other day -- there are 2
complete sets of all 7. If you're interested, email
me for details and price.

We also found some mindpower CD's, some
Seven Keys to Concentration CD's, and some
Iron Will CD's.  Again, shoot me an email
if you're interested.

4. How I Set a New PR on my Birthday.

I celebrated my birthday last night by hitting a
hard workout.

It was pretty good, because I hit a PR for 2015
in the split style snatch. In fact, it was the most
I had lifted in the split style snatch for the past
two years.

So that was a birthday present to myself.

I got there by using a simple variation of the old
Light, Medium and Heavy system.

It's a three week mini-cycle.

I use singles in all of my exercises, but it works
fine for sets of multiple reps, as well. Once you
understand the system, you can apply it to many
different kinds of workouts.

Here's how it goes:

Week 1 -- Light

I work up to 5 singles with my working weight.

I use a relatively light weight -- 70 to 75% of my
max.

Week 2 -- Medium

I work up to 2 or 3 singles with my working weight.

I go heavier this week, but not too heavy -- 80 to
85% of my max.

Week 3 -- Heavy

I work up to one single with my working weight.

This is my heavy week. I go as heavy as I can. If
I feel good, I try to lift my max or to set a new
max. However, I usually work up to 90 or 95%
of my max. As an older lifter, I can train heavy
but I can't push for a new max too often.

Week 4

Start the mini-cycle all over again.

And there you have it.

As I said, it's a simple system -- but it's been
very effective. It keeps me strong, helps me
improve my speed, form and technique, and
best of all, helps me avoid overtraining.

And so far (knock on wood), it's helped me
avoid dings and dents.

Give it a try and see how you like it -- and
shoot me an email with your results.

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

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

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

Four Left -- and Going Fast!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

It's my birthday, so I was going to
take the rest of the day off, but I
need to give you two quick updates:

1. Hoodies, Sweatshirts, T-shirts and
Muscle Shirts.

We're clearing out all of our current
inventory of sweatshirts, t-shirts,
muscle shirts, and hoodies, and
we're almost completely out of
stock.

We're not going to re-stock for
awhile, so if you want something,
you need to act now.

For example, we have just 4 Gray Hair
and Black Iron sweatshirts -- one XL
and three 3XL. That's it. No other
sizes.

We have very limited numbers of other
items -- and we're out of many sizes
and colors in them.

If you'd like something, send me an
email and ask if we have it in stock
before placing your order.

2. A Chance to Win 5 Free Books!

Carl Lanore, is running a special
contest on SuperHuman Radio this
week and next.

Here's how to enter the contest:

When you listen to SuperHuman Radio,
pay careful attention at the commercial
breaks.

During one of the commercial breaks
in each hour of the show, Carl will
announce the secret word.

He'll do this on each show.

When you hear it, you send Carl an email
identifying the secret word -- and that
enters you in the contest.

Note: Do NOT send me an email with the
secret word. Send it to Carl. He'll give you
the email address on air.

Carl will draw the winner's name at the
end of next week.

There will be one winner and one winner
only -- and the prize will be pretty darn
good.

How good?

Get this . . .

The prize is an autographed set of all
five of my Legacy of Iron books, starting
with this little monster:

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

With shipping and handling, that has a
retail value of something like 150 clams.
Plus, they're darn good books. Readers
love them.

I'll be on Physical Culture Radio at
12:00 noon EST tomorrow, so you
can listen to the show and learn
the secret word then:

http://superhumanradio.com/

Thanks for reading, and remember -- if
you want a shirt, hoodie or sweatshirt,
send an email asap and see if we have
your size in stock.

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

P.S. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

My Definition of Functional Exercise

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

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

1. Physical Culture Radio

We had a great show yesterday on Physical
Culture Radio. The topic was the best exercises
for healthy aging, and why they're so important.

If you missed the live broadcast, here's the
link to the download:

http://superhumanradio.com/shr-1703-physical-culture-radio-exercise-for-healthy-aging-glucose-uptake-brain-alzheimer-s.html

I hope you enjoy the show.

2. Dinosaur Training E-Books

We have 13 e-books on Kindle now, with more
on the way. The links are right here on our
products page:

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

Head on over to the Kindle pages, browse
around, read and rank the reviews, and see
what's going on and what people are saying
about our different books.

3. My Definition of Functional Exercise

You see a lot of people talking about "functional
exercise."

It seems to mean different things to different
people.

There are lots of videos on Facebook and
YouTube that show "functional exercises"
on stability balls and wobble boards.

Many of the "functional exercise" movements
come to us from physical therapy and
rehabilitative medicine.

If that's your thing, then fine -- but my
definition of functional exercise is a bit
different.

To me, a functional exercise is one that
does the following:

1. Strengthens the muscles.

2. Strengthens the bones.

3. Strengthens the tendons and ligaments.

4. Improves balance and coordination.

5. Strengthens the neuro-muscular system.

6. Requires deep, focused, intense concentration.

7. Trains the entire body in free flowing and
athletic movements rather than focusing on
single bodyparts or isolated muscle groups.

8. Trains the heart and lungs and strengthens
the internal organs.

9. Teaches you to move like an athlete.

10. Builds the strongest possible mind-muscle
link.

11. Can be performed in a progressive fashion.

12. Can be performed by trainees of any age,
and is something that older trainees can do
and enjoy.

There's one kind of exercise that does all of
these things.

It's ground-based strength training with your
choice of barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells or
heavy awkward objects -- supplemented with
old-school bodyweight exercises if you enjoy
doing them.

In other words, the kind of training I cover in
all of my books and courses.

It's the most functional kind of training you
can do.

This kind of training doesn't come with fancy
names or fancy labels. In fact, it's pretty old-
fashioned. People have been doing it for a very
long time.

There's a reason for that.

It works.

It works better than anything else under the sun.

If you're already doing it, then keep on doing
what you're doing.

If you're NOT doing it, then start now.

The right kind of strength training is one of the
most important things you can do for yourself.
Make it a regular and integral part of your
life.

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. Here's the best book ever written about
functional training for trainees age 35 and older:

Exercise Rx for Mature Dinos

Hail to the Dinos!

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

1. Physical Culture Radio

I'll be on Physical Culture radio at 12:00 noon
today (EST). Catch us live or listen to the
download later on:

http://superhumanradio.com/

2. We're on Facebook and Twitter

I may be a Dinosaur, but you can find me on
Facebook and Twitter. It's a great way to keep
in touch.

3. Exercise Rx for Mature Dinos

We received a ton of questions and comments
in response to yesterday's email about the best
exercises for healthy aging.

We had great feedback from many older Dinos
who train on basic barbell and dumbbell exercises,
and who stand on their feet for most of their
training. They're loving it, and they're getting
great results. They look good, they feel good,
and they're way younger than their years.

We had other Dinos who were concerned that
power cleans or power snatches might be too
hard for older Dinos to learn -- or might be
dangerous for older Dinos.

So let me address the concerns.

1. If you don't want to do power cleans or
power snatches, then don't do them.

2. If you have never done power cleans
and power snatches before, then you need
to learn how to do them properly, correctly
and safely.

a. Most people don't take the time to learn
how to perform power cleans and power
snatches the right way. They end up doing
them wrong, and that can lead to injuries.

b. The best way to learn how to do power
cleans and power snatches is to get some
one on one coaching from an expert. As in,
a weightlifting coach. One or two sessions
can make all the difference in the world.

3. If you have dings and dents that make
any given exercise painful or difficult, then
do a different exercise.

a. Most older trainees have dings or dents
of one sort or another -- and that means
all of us need to choose exercises that
allow us to train pain-free.

4. You can get all of the benefits of cleans
and snatches by doing clean grip high pulls
and snatch grip high pulls.

a. High pulls are easier to learn and require
less flexibility -- but it's still a very good
idea to get some one on one coaching.

5. If you prefer dumbbells or kettlebells for
snatches and cleans, then use them.

a. Many mature Dinos find that dumbbells
are easier on their joints than barbells.

6. If you prefer to do deadlifts, squats and
presses or push presses, and skip the cleans
and snatches, that's fine, too.

a. The important thing is to do ground based
training -- and squats, deadlifts and presses
or push presses are terrific ground based
exercises.

7. If you're older and squats hurt your knees,
then do deadlifts or Trap Bar deadlifts.

a. If back squats are too hard on your lower
back (as they are for some older Dinos), then
try front squats.

The important thing is to do barbell and dumbbell
(or kettlebell) exercises rather than machine
exercises -- and to spend the majority of your
training time on ground-based exercises.

The more time you spend standing on your feet
and lifting stuff, the better.

Why?

Because that's what the human body is designed
to do.

Our entire muscular and neuromuscular system
goes into overdrive when we stand on our feet
and lift heavy stuff.

That's why it's so good for us -- and why it feels
so good -- and why it's so very important to do.

I hope that clarifies things. If you have questions
or comments, shoot me an email.

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. Dinosaur Dumbbell Training gives you a
wide variety of stand on your feet dumbbell
exercises for all-around strength and power.
They're fun to do -- and they're great for
Dinos of any age:

The Best Exercises for Healthy Aging

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

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

Facebook -- it's a great way to stay current.

4. The Best Exercises for Healthy Aging

Yesterday I noted that "athletic exercises"
such as power cleans and power snatches
help keep your brain and nervous system
healthy and strong.

They do this by stimulating the neuro-
muscular system.

In response, I got a ton of emails from
readers who wanted to know more -- and
some who wanted to know where to go
for more information  on this exciting
topic -- and some who flat out thought
I was making it up.

So let's turn to Pat O'Shea's wonderful
book, Quantum Strength Fitness II.
Consider these nuggets from the
chapter on exercise and healthy
aging:

1. "Superior training results are obtained
through the application of dynamic athletic-
type lifts [such as] power snatches, power
cleans, high pulls and squats."

2. These movements "come closest to
duplicating the motor tasks of daily living."

3. "They are free flowing natural body
movements that develop functional strength,
flexibility and mobility."

4. Here comes the good part -- pay close
attention:

"They challenge and train the neuromuscular
and sensory systems which improves the
functioning of the posture and antigravity
muscles. Athletic-type lifting refines propio-
ceptive kinesthetic feedback, resulting in
increased neuromuscular coordination
among agonist and antagonist muscles
and their synchronization."

5. "This provides for the improvement and
maintenance of motor skills critical to
independent living."

6. "Athletic-type lifting is mentally and
physically stimulating. When executing a
power snatch or power clean, you are
forced to think in terms of strength and
technique. This stimulates brain power,
which helps slow the loss of neuro-
muscular coordination associated with
the aging process."

7. "Brain power is like muscle power, it is
a case of use it or lose it."

Another term for "athletic-style exercises"
would be "ground based training" or "stand
on your feet training." It's the kind of
training I cover in all of my books and
courses.

The wonderful thing about this type of
training is that it provides such tremendous
benefits for trainees of any age.

When you're younger, it helps you build
maximum possible strength, power and
muscle mass.

When you're older, it helps you maintain
that strength, muscle and power.

And at any age, it helps build and maintain
bone, tendon and ligament strength -- as
well as brain power and neuromuscular
function.

All of which are very good reasons to start
training, and to stick with it. At any age and
at every age, exercises enriches your life
and expands your abilities and your
opportunities.

It's a wonderful gift. USE IT!

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

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik

How to Train like a Champion!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

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

1. Physical Culture Radio

We had a great show yesterday. Here's
the link to the podcast:

http://superhumanradio.com/shr-1699-physical-culture-radio-the-heros-in-our-lives-don-t-fear-the-reaper.html

2. Dinosaur Training E-Books

We have 12 e-books on Kindle -- here's
the complete list with live links to our
Kindle pages:

http://dinosaurtraining.blogspot.com/2015/08/dinosaur-training-e-books-complete-list.html

Even if you have the books in hard copy
or in e-book format, go over to the Kindle
pages and rank the reviews. Ranking the
reviews helps newbies choose Dino
Training over muscle pumping silliness.

3. Championship Training

And now, let's talk training -- as in,
real world, championship training.

Back in 1952, a young man named Tom
was working as a cook in the army. He
was based in California and was slated
to be sent to Korea.

He thought he would probably die in Korea,
because this was during the Korean War,
and the North Koreans were using US
Army cooks for target practice.

They figured that they'd demoralize the
Americans by shooting all their cooks.
So Tom practiced his cooking -- and his
shooting. By then, all the cooks in the
army were carrying rifles while they did
their cooking.

But he also practiced something else.

Weightlifting.

And he was pretty darn good at it.

Good enough to win the USA National
championships and qualify for the 1952
Olympic Games in Helsinki.

So instead of going to Korea, Tom went
to the Olympics -- where he won a gold
medal.

Yes, I'm talking about Tommy Kono -- one
of the greatest weightlifters of all time.

But here's the important thing.

Tommy Kono had very limited time for
training. The Army didn't let him train
all day. He had to do his regular Army
job and Army PT and everything else a
soldier does.

So he developed something he called
Quality Training.

He trained just 3 or 4 times a week for no
more than 90 minutes per workout.

But he made every minute count. That was
his secret.

He focused on squats, front squats, military
presses, squat cleans, squat snatches and
jerks.

He didn't do anything else because he didn't
have time to do anything else. He focused on
the important stuff -- and he trained it very,
very hard.

He coupled that with unshakable, iron
determination to be the best in the world.

And when he trained, he trained with zen-like
powers of concentration.

And it worked. He ended up winning six World
Championships, three Pan-American titles,
two Olympic gold medals and an Olympic
silver medal.

He set official World records in four different
weight classes: 148, 165, 181 and 198.

Tommy Kono proved that quality training
works.

You can do the very same thing. Follow the
abbreviated and ultra-abbreviated training
programs in my books and courses -- train
with focus and passion -- and the results will
astonish you.

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

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik
