Brooks dice workout with body weight read. Power Books - Fletcher. Getting Started with Dinosaur Training

09.01.2022

In your hands is the long-awaited guide to strength training, written by Brooks Kubik himself - the national bench press champion and the author of many articles published in the best strength training magazines. This book was written for those of us who are interested in POWER, not in its APPEARANCE; for the first time in one book, he talks in detail about many of the most productive methods - not only increasing muscle "mass", but developing truly functional muscles in the best traditions of the strongmen of the past. If you are looking for alternative way training for the development of truly genuine strength, then you have purchased exactly the book that you need!

For some reason, we've lost track of the Iron Game in our pursuit of greater muscle size and strength. We're floating through the air, aimlessly like Balloons, picked up and carried away by any changeable gust of wind or a "new" training system, constantly changing direction, constantly moving somewhere and not getting anywhere in the end. The author, on the other hand, grabs us by the legs, pulls us back to the ground, whips us in the face like an icy shower, and offers us a fresh look at the forgotten proven methods for developing massive, brutal strength. He does not claim to be an "inventor". No, he only invites us to rediscover and retrieve from oblivion the training methods of the masters of the past, our ancestors of methodical, progressive weight training.

Instructive, inspiring, practical, this guide is destined to become a classic strength training book and a place of honor in every serious athlete's library.

If you are as serious as I am, you will order two copies. One for my strength training library, and the other for constant use as a source of motivation, to full reading to the holes!

Preface to the first edition

This preface has three purposes. First, I want to introduce myself to you and tell you a little about what, in fact, gave me the right to write this book. Please don't take this as an empty brag, but I just want to offer proof that I'm not just another member of the despicable and miserable race of armchair theorists who have become a real scourge for the world of strength training and, moreover, breed like the larvae on which they and similar. (You will hear more about armchair "experts" later in this book.) Secondly, I want to tell you why I wrote this book. Thirdly, I want to say a big thank you to some people and thank them for making this book possible.

I am 38 years old. I have been training with iron for over 25 years. I LOVE strength training and all the best in it and always have. I have studied the art of strength training for almost my entire life. By the way, a small digression: productive strength training is nothing more than an ART ... not a science. If anyone ever tries to sell you a book, training course, or exercise machine based on supposedly "scientific" principles of training, then don't hesitate to hit him hard and run away from such a person.

My height is 175 cm, weight 102 kg. I wrestled at school and won many competitions and awards. I lived in Illinois and Ohio when I competed in wrestling. Placed third in the Ohio State Academic Wrestling Championship and became the Illinois State Greco-Roman Wrestling Champion. Heavy weight training helped me on the wrestling mat. I would have been a much better wrestler if I knew then everything that I know now. The information in this book is of great value to wrestlers, football players, and anyone else involved in combat sports. This is a book about developing FUNCTIONAL strength. If you belong to the category of narcissistic "pump" poseurs of those who like to spin in front of the mirror, then this book is not for you.

After high school, I went to college, then enrolled in law school. I currently work as a lawyer in a large, by the standards of the Midwest, law firm. I am just like most of the guys who will read this book: someone who is seriously into strength training, but does not make a living from it. Between the ages of 33-36, I competed in the so-called "natural" powerlifting and bench press competitions. I competed in two different federations. In one, I was a three-time US bench press champion, set three US bench press records, and several other national level records in the 90 and 100 kg categories. I have also won many national and regional titles and set many national and state records. In another federation, I was a two-time U.S. bench press champion, set at least six U.S. and national level records, and set three world records in the 100kg category. My best official result is the one that brought me victory at the fifth US championship: 185 kg. Not bad for a middle-aged lawyer, huh?

Also, in one of the federations, I served as a judge in several powerlifting and bench press competitions and, once, even took an honorable second place in the competition for the "best male judge of the year."

After winning five national championships in the bench press, I decided to take a break from competition and do other things, such as writing this book and other materials.

Although I don't compete in powerlifting or bench press today, I train regularly and I'm stronger today than I was when I competed. I will dwell on some of my current achievements later: I do not want to bore you now with the repetition of these figures. Suffice it to say that your author really trains, really lifts heavy weights regularly, wrote many articles about various aspects of strength training and is NOT an armchair theorist, showed on the platform that his ideas work, and proved - in fact high level"natural" competitions - what he has, what to show, even in the fight against the best lifters in the world. Your author is not a "skin and bones", not a hired scribbler who has no idea about training, and, rest assured, not just another empty-handed scientist with no practical experience in training.

WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK

I wrote this book because I love strength training. I wrote this book because I hate what happened to the Iron Game in the last thirty or forty years. But, most importantly, I wrote this book because there is a lot of valuable information on training, but there is no such book in which one could read it. Most training books are written for bodybuilders or pseudo-bodybuilders, not for men who are interested in developing absolute, raw power and tremendous functional strength. This book is an attempt to even the score in that regard.

In addition, this book is an attempt to make strength training fun again. One after another, books on strength training come out - but they cannot be distinguished from each other, because they present the same boring ideas. The Iron Game has been inundated with self-styled experts who really have nothing to offer when it comes to true strength training. Many of the most valuable aspects of strength training have been literally lost - buried in the sands of time, forgotten, neglected, not used. Interestingly, these lost secrets are exactly what makes strength training enjoyable. Things that turn it from just an activity into an adventure. This book will spice up your training. You can think of this strength training book as a kind of KAMA SUTRA.

Hello! Forgive me for not writing for so long - the Internet turned out to reconnect the current yesterday.

The post will be interesting more to the male audience :)

And now, as promised, books about strength training, so to speak, in continuation of books about proper running. But many will not be limited to running and on the eve of summer they will sign up for a gym in order to look better on the beach :) And few of them know how to properly approach training, trusting the training methods described in glossy magazines (Men's Health and others) and of course advice Therefore, in this post we will consider two authors of strength training methods - Brooks Kubik and Stuart McRobert - whose advice is worth listening to.

I myself am far from a jock))) But I respect sports and sometimes I still go to the gym with friends, although home workouts are enough to keep myself in shape. But I do not claim records.

So, let's begin.

BROOKS CUBE

Brooks Kubik has been a powerlifter for over 30 years and is the author of books such as Dinosaur Training and Legacy of Iron.

He is the editor of the official website "Dinosaur Training", whose mission is to make people bigger, stronger and more pumped up.

His books teach how to train properly, without tranquilizers, to train the way physical strength and muscle champions trained during the Golden Age of Strength.

Dinosaur training is a direction in strength training that promotes a return to the traditional exercises and methods of strongmen of yesteryear, including:

Refusal of pharmacology and sports nutrition;

Heavy weights and low reps, up to one rep;

Exercise using your own body weight;

Barrels, anvils, gas cylinders, sandbags and other heavy objects of various shapes can be used as projectiles;

Complex exercises with dumbbells.

Dinosaur training positions itself as opposed to modern bodybuilding and powerlifting, as well as aerobic types of training, which have a primary goal - a cosmetic effect (appearance), as well as the use of special simulators and shells. Dinosaur training offers intense and heavy loads aimed at developing the so-called functional strength, increasing endurance and mental concentration.

Famous adepts in dinosaur training include Brooks D. Kubik, Bob Whelan, Ken Leistner and John McCallum, to name a few. They also include such historical weightlifters as Peary Rader and even Eugene Sandow, the progenitor of bodybuilding. Many articles and books are devoted to this direction, one of the most famous is "Brooks Cube. Dinosaur Training. Forgotten Secrets of Strength and Body Development." Brooks Kubik's book explores simple yet effective training methods that are aimed at people who are tired of complex methods and the need to visit gym. The book "Training Dinosaurs. Forgotten Secrets of Strength and Body Development" is motivating and contains a lot of humor. The emphasis is on various types of push-ups, pull-ups on the horizontal bar, leg raises on the horizontal bar, squats on one leg and many others.

Brooks Kubik continued to develop the principles of dinosaur training, presenting the results in a new 2008 book in the form of a novel, Legacy of Iron.

Couldn't find it on the internet), which tells the story of a young man who was trained by experienced athletes from York Barbell.

On the forums about the Kubik training methodology, you can often see reviews like “crazy”, “yes he has a diagnosis!”, “crazy” :) But there are much more positive reviews.

On Rutracker.org, in addition to books, you can find training videos by Brooks Kubik.

Stuart McRobert was born in 1958 in England (Liverpool).

When he was 31, he founded his own publishing house and began publishing the Hardgainer magazine, which ran for 15 years until July 2004.

Stuart lives in Cyprus, is married and has two children. Recent times seriously interested in philosophy.

But Stuart's activities didn't stop there. Now he is working on his web project and writing books. In addition to that, the author also writes materials for well-known bodybuilding and fitness magazines.

The Insider's Tell-All Handbook On Weight-Training Technique (1996);

Beyond Brawn (1998);

Further Brawn (2001);

Build Muscle, Lose Fat, Look Great (2006), and other popular books.

Brooks D.Kubik, Stuart McRobert. "Big Hand"

The titles of the articles are in quotation marks.

In his works, the author describes in detail how to perform the exercises, and analyzes the most common mistakes. He emphasizes that, starting training, you need to work only with the weight that will allow you to perform the exercises correctly. Stewart recommends increasing the weight gradually to avoid injury.

And it would seem that Stewart painted everything so smoothly, but even here the critics have a place to turn around (

with the latter, the truth is familiar superficially).

plbaza.narod.ru/ enthusiasts have compiled a long list of authors of strength training methods and given brief articles with the peculiarities of the methodology of each of the authors.

Much more could be written about strength training, but I don't feel qualified to give you any advice. The main thing is to talk less in the gym itself :) Otherwise, this is terribly annoying and distracts the rest.

This book is just psychic dynamite. It will turn your current ideas about training to ashes. It will expand your horizons in ways you can't even imagine right now. Have you ever lifted heavy barrels? How about heavy sandbags? Ever used a thick bar for an upper body exercise? Did you make heavy singles? How about working in a power rack? How about squats and bench presses from the bottom position? Hard grip work? Pinch grip raises? Round back lifts? Farmer's walk? Deadly sets? Deadlift with two fingers? Anvil lifts? Vertical lifts? Lever work? The book talks about all this and more.

THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS BOOK POSSIBLE

This book owes its existence to many people. And, above all, Ginny, my wife of 16 years, who has never (well, almost never) complained that I love the keyboard more than her. Thank you dear.

Secondly, this is Bill Hinburn, a TRUE gentleman and a man who epitomizes the best that the Iron Game has to offer. Bill gave me a lot of valuable advice on the practical aspects of publishing and marketing a strength training book. He also corrected and edited the manuscript, supplied useful information, provided the cover photo and wrote the introduction. Thanks Bill.

Thirdly, this is my good friend, Mike Thompson, who for several years urged me to write this book and always supported and encouraged me. Mike is one of the best writers in the field and one of the strongest people I have ever met. Besides, no one will give you better advice technically better than Mike. Thanks Mike

Fourth, Bob Vellan. Like Mike, Bob also urged me to roll up my sleeves and concoct a book, and like Mike, he was always there when I needed words of encouragement. Bob is one of the most prominent strength trainers in the world today. Thanks Bob.

Fifth, Greg Pickett, one of the strongest cellar dwellers in the world, a true fan of the Iron Game, and one of the kindest lifters I have ever seen on the platform. Greg was the third member of my "writer support group" when I was working on this book, and he, like the others, helped me stay focused and motivated. Thanks Greg

Sixth, Kim Wood, strength coach for the Cincinnati Bengals, with whom I have talked many times about serious strength training, and many of the ideas in the pages of this book are his. If you decide to take on heavy bags and barrels and the next day your whole body hurts like hell, don't blame me, blame Kim. It was his idea. Thanks Kim.

Seventh, Ozmo Kiiha, who supported my efforts by publishing excerpts from this book as articles in The Iron Master, and who allowed me to advertise the book there. Ozmo is an outstanding lifter and collector and one of the most erudite people in the field. Thanks Ozmo.

Eighth, Dr. Ken Leistner. In my opinion, Dr. Leistner is one of the best writers in the history of the Iron Game and the man who has played a major role in promoting intelligent, meaningful, and productive training. Dr. Leistner gave me permission to include in the book excerpts from his amazing mailing list, "The Steel Tip," which he hosted from January 1985 to December 1987, and which is one of the best sources of information on serious strength training. Dr. Leistner has inspired us over the years with his amazing articles in Powerlifting USA, Muscular Development, Ironman, H.I.T. Newsletter, Milo and other magazines. Thanks dr. Leistner.

Ninth, Dr. Randall J. Strossen, author of "Super Squats" and "Ironmind: Stronger Minds, Stronger Bodies", editor and publisher of John McCallum's "Keys to Progress", editor and publisher of John Brookfield's amazing Mastery of Hand Strength, editor and publisher of Milo and owner of Ironmind Enterprises, which sells quality and unique training equipment. Dr. Strossen also supported me and gave me many valuable suggestions for the book. Thank you Dr. Strossen.

And finally, one more person I want to thank is YOU. Thank you for your desire to learn more about strength training, thank you for believing in me and buying this book, and thank you for the courage, determination, perseverance, and fortitude it will take to implement the training ideas contained in my book. Thank you and good luck with your training!

FOR WORK!

Too long foreword for any book. Let's get to work! Open the first chapter!

Preface to the second edition

I originally intended Dinosaur Training to be a short (60-80 pp.) manual. I thought that I would just copy it on a photocopier, stitch it up and distribute it to friends - or sell it, 20-30 copies, to people who might be interested. Then I realized that the manuscript I had typed already had over 300 pages, and I decided that I would publish a normal book.

The idea almost collapsed when it became known that no publisher would take on a circulation of less than 2000 copies - and I was sure that I would not sell that many for the rest of my life. After all, how many people are really interested in old-fashioned stuff like heavy iron, hard work, "pure" strength training, thick barbells, grip work, bags, barrels, and everything else that is contained under the cover of this book?

Bill Hinburn, Bob Whelan, Greg Pickett, and Kim Wood finally convinced me to go through with it, and after a year of writing, editing, and proofreading, the unsuspecting world finally got Dinosaur Training.

Then something amazing happened. The first edition with a circulation of 3,300 was completely sold out in a year and a half. The book has been reviewed in MILO, THE IRON MASTER, HARD TRAINING, IRONMAN and other magazines, advertised on www.cyberpump.com, and received excellent reviews from some of the most knowledgeable experts in strength training. IRONMIND ENTERPRISES and IRON MAN took over the sale. It was read by coaches of football teams - amateur and professional. Dinosaur Training terminology has taken root everywhere you look; such words as "handbrakes", "territory of chromium and ficuses" began to be used everywhere. Fat vultures began to sell like hot cakes - and if someone had the foresight to sell sandbags or barrels, he would become a millionaire.

All this pleased, of course, but the most important thing is letters from readers. The lines I treasure most—and I keep all of them—were often found on the back of envelopes and other similar places. They came from everywhere - from Europe and Asia, Australia and Canada, Mexico and the USA. They were all on the same topic; all of them contained, approximately, such words: "Thank you for returning to me the JOY from communication with Iron, the PASSION AND PLEASURE of serious strength training!"

These letters prompted me to do two things. First, I thought of republishing "Dinosaur Training" a second time in a revised and expanded form, giving readers this time what they've been asking for in their letters: more training programs.

Second, I began publishing a monthly newsletter, The Dinosaur Files. The first issue came out in August 1997; reader feedback was amazing. If you like Dinosaur Training, try Files too. (Ordering information is in the appendix, along with other sources of valuable but sometimes inaccessible training information).

Many have written to me that they have never made such progress as after reading "Dinotraining" and incorporating its elements into their workouts. Trust me guys, this book is more than just ink on paper. It really does work. Try it. The results will surprise you.

Brooks Kubik is one of the most revolutionary and influential teachers in the history of Physical Education.

In a world populated by sofa theorists, Brooks is unique. He not only writes training literature, but he also trains on it. And he trains hard. Very hard.

Brooks has been training for 40 years. Using his body as proof, he has shown over and over again that he knows what he is talking about and that his training programs work!

Consider the official achievements:

1. State Champion in Greco-Roman wrestling in high school.
2. Multiple State and Regional Eventing Champion, Tested for Steroids (at 89.8kg)
3. 5x U.S. Bench Press Champion, steroid tested (30 to 39 age group, 89.8kg and 99.8kg)
4. Set more than a dozen World and US Bench Press records, steroid-tested competitions (30 to 39 age group, 89.8kg and 99.8kg)

If you're interested, you can watch some of Brooks' hardest lifts on his "Dinosaur Workout" DVDs.

In The Lost Art of Dumbbell Training, Brooks pulls a 151 lb (68.5 kg) dumbbell off the floor with one hand, performs a one-handed clean and jerk with a 151 lb (68.5 kg) dumbbell (all the time with only 1 arm), performed a 121 lb (54.8 kg) 2 dumbbell clean and jerk, and performed many other incredible lifts.

In the movie "Power Rack Workout" Brooks added a video showing his World Record Bench Press (in competition) and how he trained to do this lift, and doing chest drops with weights approaching 440 lbs (199.6 kg) .

In the same DVD, Brooks presses a 302 lb (137 kg) barbell in an overhead schwung. This is one of the most inspiring climbs you will ever see.

In 1996, his masterpiece, Dinosaur Training: The Lost Secrets of Strength and Body Development, became an international bestseller almost overnight, and ushered in the Age of Dinosaurs. Today, nearly 15 years after its publication, "Dinosaur Training" continues to hold a powerful grip on the hearts and minds of serious athletes around the world.

In 2008 and 2009, Brooks published the first 2 novels written about the Iron Game: Legacy of Iron, which describes the development of weightlifting in the USA in 1939, and Clouds of War, which continues the story in 1940. Both books received huge numbers good reviews, including support from weightlifting champions Tommy Kono and Ike Berger, author of Over-40 Mr. America and Iron Game, Clarence Bass, US weightlifting coach and author of Milo, Jim Schmidt, Dr. Ken Leistner, Masters Weightlifting Champion, Arnold Pope, Denis Renault (editor and publisher of the Olympic Lifting Newsletter), and Artie Dreshler, author of The Weightlifting Encyclopedia.

In December 2009, Brooks published "Gray Hair and Black Iron: Successful Strength Training fo Older Lifters" (Gray Hair and Black Iron: Successful Strength Training for Older Athletes) - another book that became an overnight success and received many positive and enthusiastic reviews. testimonials from athletes around the world.

Brooks is still working on a few new projects for his Dino Maniac army and promises that he has something interesting for them in the near future!

Today, at the age of 52, Brooks is training harder than ever and working with more iron in his "basics are best" dino-style garage gym.

Brooks lives in Louisville (Louisville), Kentucky (Kentucky), with his beautiful wife, Trudy. She is a physical therapist assistant and massage therapist, she trains regularly, promotes a quiet sustainable life, maintains Brooks' strength, healthy super nutrition, an all natural diet, and helps him in his Dinosaur endeavors.

Preface to the first edition

ABOUT ME

After winning five national championships in the bench press, I decided to take a break from competition and do other things, such as writing this book and other materials.

Although I don't compete in powerlifting or bench press today, I train regularly and I'm stronger today than I was when I competed. I will dwell on some of my current achievements later: I do not want to bore you now with the repetition of these figures. Suffice it to say that your author really trains, really lifts heavy weights regularly, wrote many articles about various aspects of strength training and is NOT an armchair theorist, showed on the platform that his ideas work, and proved - at the highest level of "natural" competitions - that he has something to show, even in the fight against the best lifters in the world. Your author is not a "skin and bones", not a hired scribbler who has no idea about training, and, rest assured, not just another empty-handed scientist with no practical experience in training.

WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK

The purpose of this book is to open to YOU and any serious athlete who buys it a real treasure trove of LOST IDEAS that really work. Whoever you are and no matter how much you know about training, this book will allow you to learn something new about training and share new ideas with you. And for those of you who are new to the Iron Game, or who know nothing but "modern" training methods, this book will be a revelation.
