A closer look at a strength training classic<\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t In Charles Poliquin\u2019s shortlist of favorite strength training books you will find Brooks Kubik\u2019s Dinosaur Training: Lost Secrets of Strength and<\/i> Development<\/i>. First, published in 1996, Kubik\u2019s straightforward advice on how to get brutally strong has stood the test of time.<\/p> Dinosaur Training<\/i> was a hit right out of the gate. It received positive reviews in serious Iron Game publications, including MILO<\/i> and Iron Man<\/i> magazine, and sold 3,300 hardcopies in the first 18 months.<\/p> Kubik is a fitness writer who \u201cwalks the talk.\u201d A former high school wrestler who attributes his use of weight training to winning numerous championships, Kubik went on to compete in powerlifting after graduating from law school and establishing his career. He began competing at the age of 33 and officially bench pressed 407 pounds in the 220-pound bodyweight division.<\/p> Why does Kubik call his training \u201cThe Dinosaur Alternative?\u201d Kubik says he chose that name after a friend referred to the two of them as dinosaurs for their old fashion training ideas. Says Kubik, \u201cWhen all the \u2018modern\u2019 trainees can lie down on a flat bench and push a 400-pound barbell with a three-inch bar from chest to arm\u2019s length \u2013 and do it without a bench shirt, wrist wraps or drugs \u2013 then I\u2019ll worry about being old fashion. When What does a Dinosaur Training program look like? Consider Day one of this two-day Simple? Yes. Brutally hard? No question. Extremely productive? Absolutely!
everyone in the chrome and fern crowd can do a strict curl with 160 pounds with the same three-inch bar, then I\u2019ll think about going to chrome and fern land\u2026But until then, I\u2019m happy to be a living fossil.\u201d
Kubik says the primary goal of Dinosaur Training: Lost Secrets of Strength and Development<\/i> is to introduce the reader to exercises and methods to get them \u201cbigger, stronger, and better conditioned.\u201d He sums up his training philosophy as follows: \u201cProgressive poundages are the name of the game. If you are not adding weight to the bar on a regular basis, you are kidding yourself. But how many people actually try to increase their training poundages? How many members of your gym are content to waltz their way through the same workout, with the same exercises, sets, reps and poundages, year after year after year?\u201d
Dinosaur Training consists of what Kubik calls \u201c12 Core Elements,\u201d as follows:
