Dear Friend,
In this day and age, strength training books are a dime a dozen at every major book store in the nation
... but the most valuable training book that you ever read can't be found in any store. This is the book that
took long forgotten training techniques, re-awakened the echoes of the real Iron Game
and taught a generation the "lost" values of hard work, heavy iron and serious training. This is the book
that will grab you by the scruff of the neck and take you down the road to super strength. This is the
book that transform your idea of strength training forever...
Walk into just about any gym in the country and you'll find plenty of chrome, ferns, spandex, mirrors,
protein drinks, headbands, tanktops and treadmills. Chances are you what you probably won't
find much of is effort, hard work or serious attitudes toward training.
In all fairness, can you blame the "chrome and fern" crowd? They get just about all their traininig information from sources promising
"Cannonball Delts," "Football-sized Triceps" and "Ferociously Ripped-Abs all with little or no effort! Between the pictures of
bikini-clad fitness babes and supplement ads you'll find the (ghost written)training articles by the "Champs" whose success
has a lot more to do with a needle than anyone would care to admit.
The workout routines in these "muscle comics" would be perfect...if you
were Superman: hours in the gym, dozens of exercises, ridiculous numbers of sets, light weights, no structure, no real knowledge,
and plenty of histrionics masquerading as hard work...Good luck with that.
Even if someone
did try to make it through these workouts, it wouldn't be long before injury, boredom or
lack of results forced them to quit. It is no wonder that mis-information and frustration levels are at all time highs...
It does not have to be this way.
If you are serious about developing real strength, there is another alternative. The fact of the matter
is that even though the majority of training information put out in recent times is not worth the paper it is written on, there
has always been a small, dedicated group of people keeping the old-time strength traditions alive.
Yes, it is possible to get incredibly strong using only basic methods, common sense and hard work.

Dinosaur Training

Teaches you what no other modern strength training book will teach you:
How to Build Real world strength without all the confusing and worthless BS
How to become stronger and more powerful with basic equipment and easy-to-understand concepts
How to train for functional muscle and become every bit as strong as you look(and you will look very strong!)
How to strengthen and thicken the tendons and ligaments with "deep structure" training
How to use thick bar training to forge a crushing grip and powerful forearms
How to use the Power rack for big gains and to bust through sticking points
How to use odd objects such as sandbags and barrels to develop combat strength
How to use heavy support work to go from from man to superman with hard, heavy support training
Effort, Dedication, Perseverance, Concentration, Determination and Mental Toughness instead of shortcuts
The kind of hard nosed attitude that has damn near disappeared altogether from the Iron Game
If you are sick and tired of screwin' around with garbage training information then Dinosaur
Training is the book you have been searching for!
Back in the mid-90's, strength training author Brooks Kubik finally had enough of the current Iron scene.
Brooks is no stranger to what functional training is all about; he won the Illinois state Greco-Roman style Championship in high school and later
went on to win multiple national, state and regional titles in Drug-Free Powerlifting organizations.
He already had a whole slew of great training articles under his belt when he decided to set pen to paper and put out
a small booklet outlining some of his training ideas and Old-School methods. It was Brooks' original plan to
stop at around 60-80 pages, photocopy that monster and send it to the 20 people who he though would maybe be interested in
what he had to say.
Well the original manuscript grew and grew and with encouragement from some of the top people in the
strength world, Brooks titled his work Dinosaur Training and unleashed it upon an unsuspecting world. What happened next was truly astonishing:
A revolution was born and it'll shake up your training ideas too...
The entire first printing sold out in 18 months. All of a sudden sand bag training and heavy partial work became common place. Odd-object training, such as lifting
rocks and anvils,
carrying kegs, and swinging sledge hammers all took off like a rocket. People threw away their shiny, chrome covered baby weights and began
lifting heavy chunks of iron and steel.
Those who sold thick bars experienced off the chart sales.
Dinosaur Training was featured in MILO, THE IRON MASTER,
HARD TRAINING, IRONMAN and many other "main stream" magazines. College and NFL strength coaches began reading it and implimenting these
training techniques into their programs. This wasn't just a local thing, orders started coming in from all over the world.
The strength world had come full circle...It was pandamonium and Dino-Mania was runnin' wild!
In 1998, Dinosaur Training became even bigger...literally. When it came time for the second printing, Brooks added
two additional chapters.
Dinosaur Training is jam packed with valuable training information. Here is only a partial list
so you can see why this book belongs in the library of every serious athlete. You will learn ...

As you can see, Dinosaur Training covers a lot of ground.
Of particular note are three big chapters on grip training which helps anyone lay a solid foundation. As Brooks would say:
"...In addition, Dinosaur Training is an effort to make weight training interesting once again.
I am tired of seeing the same old boring ideas presented in one look-alike weight training book
after another. The Iron Game has been inundated with self-styled experts who really have nothing to
offer when it comes to hardcore strength training.
Many of the most valuable aspects of strength
training have literally been lost in the sands of time, forgotten, neglected and unused. Curiously,
those hidden secrets are also the very things that make weight training enjoyable - the things that
change it from an activity to an adventure..."
