Dinosaur Training by Brooks Kubik
Have you had it up to here with weight training books written by "experts: who don't know a barbell from a dinner bell?
Will you scream if you see another weight training book for "toners," "shapers," "pumpers" and other assorted "pencil necks?"
Are you interested in learning how the oldtime strongmen trained back in the Golden Era of Strength?
Would you like weight training that focuses on real world strength training... becoming more powerful... building functional muscle... strengthening the tendons and ligaments... thick bar training... heavy weights... power rack work... heavy grip work... sandbag and barrel lifting... heavy support work... effort... dedication... perserverance... concentration... determination... mental toughness... and the kind of hard nosed attitude that has all but disappeared from the Iron Game?
If your answer to any of these questions is YES" then Dinosaur Training is for YOU!
What is Dinosaur Training?
The short answer to your question is two things:
1. A serious, no-nonsense attitude toward strength and development (which can be applied to any type of exercises, workout technique or piece of training equipment)
2. The use of unique and oldtime training exercises to build the kind of strength that is rarely seen these days.
Dinosaur Training Exercises:
...But Dinosaur Training is also about "oldtime" exercises you rarely see these days. Throw away your headband and plasic pink dumbbells and try these on for size:
Forget using wimpy dumbbells for concentration curls and lateral raises, Dinosaur Training teaches you to use some serious poundages for serious exercises like the dumbbell ovrhead press, row, snatch, clean and jerk, and more. -- Expect to work up to well over a hundred pounds for some of these exercises.
While barbells and dumbbells are certainly effective, sometimes training with an unusual object builds unisual types of strength. Lifting your favorite keg or barrel is a great way to build strength, especially if it is only partially filled.
The Farmer's Walk exercises is performed by simply walking witha heavy weight in each hand -- a tremendous grip, full-body and mental toughness builder.
Dinosaur Training teaches youhow to get stronger by lifting logs, barrels, anvils, rocks, cannonballs, sandbags and many other "odd" objects. -- Oh, and barbells and dumbbells too.
... These are only a few examples, there's plenty more: sledge hammers, sand bags, thick bars, power rack training, heavy grip and forearm work... Learn more by getting your own copy of Dinosaur Training
