Narrative Conducive To Books Dinosaur Training: Lost Secrets of Strength and Development

Dinosaur Training purports to describe strength training from the age of the "dinosaurs." ie, training from the dawn of modern weightlifting, the late 19th century, up until about the 1950s or so.

It's not a bad read. It fired me up when I first read it maybe 8 years ago. Kubik is overly dramatic, with LOTS of UNNECESSARY CAPITAL LETTERS, over the top descriptions of how difficult his sets are (a single barbell curl isn't going to take much out of you, I don't care how much weight is on the bar), and an unfortunate tendency to denigrate bodybuilders, steroid users, and in general anyone he disagrees with. But, still, even that can get you inspired; it's fun to get angry at the pumper/toners training at the chrome and fern gyms, to use Kubik's terminology.

Dinosaur Training is actually kind of a classic within a small community. But there are a bunch of issues surrounding it. For starters, the training Kubik describes doesn't really resemble that of the turn of the century lifters he is so excited about. He focuses on lifts, like the squat and the bench press, that didn't become widely used until later. Also, Kubik appears to not have actually began training as he describes until he began writing the book or shortly before. He decries bench specialists but by his own description seems to have been a bench specialist himself.

The strangest thing, though, is that a couple years ago Kubik swore off barbells altogether. He announced on his web site that lifting weights was damaging his body, in particular his shoulder, and that he was now selling a course in bodyweight strength training for the outrageous price of $200. He started using annoying marketing techniques that appeared to be copied from his pal Matt Furey.

And then, just recently, all that disappeared. There is now no mention on his web site of him abandoning weights or his bodyweight course or any of that. Now it's all discussion of the original Dinosaur Training book.

All in all, I don't really recommend Dinosaur Training. Some of the training recommendations are just not smart. He seems to be a big fan of just warming up and then hitting a top single in each session for each lift. I've never heard of anyone using this strategy successfully. In fact, from what I understand, Kubik himself didn't train like that for long.

As a life long Power Lifter, I can say that this is the FINEST book ever written on strength training! I happen to know Brooks, and am most impressed with the amount of information he placed in this book. If you are a "Chrome and Fern" Health Club lifter, and love to wear color coordinated spandex work-out gear, then this book is NOT for you! BUT...If you want to achieve massive strength, and be able to break all personal records, then become a Dinosaur!Semper Fidelis,Pat Dugan USMC (Ret.)

Фитнесът и бодибилдингът владеят спортните зали и стотици хиляди млади и не чак толкова млади напъват уреди, скрипци и дъмбелчета с надеждата да "тонизират", да "стегнат", да "напомпат", да "раздвижат" според сложни, дълги програми с много най-различни упражнения и още повече серии и повторения. Резултатите им са в най-добрия случай забележими, но в никакъв случай не са забележителни. У нас повечето се обръщат към стероидите като универсален "помощник".Това, което тия амбицирани трениращи са

Mr. Kubik has a VERY enthusiastic and blunt style, absolutely no quarter is given to the fitness center crowd. This is a very motivational book for the average trainee and has some great routines to boot. However, sometimes the more advanced routines lack balance (pushing heavy) and even though the old timers might have done something (floor presses) that doesn't always necessarily mean it was better. All in all a great read for those looking to be garage weight lifters, motivational and

Awful. Constant contradictions and an author who's really far too upset about the use of steroids. Here's the short version:5 heavy curls (total reps) per week with a 3" bar = guaranteed 22" armsDon't train very oftenDo lots of squats and deadlifts with your 10RMCry about people using steroidsDone deal.

This is most hilarious book I have ever read. I learned almost nothing but enjoyed every page.

Well sir, let me start out by saying that thanks to a combination of "corporate synergy", a fertile dinosaur fossil discovery in Mongolia and the black market underground Stem Cell Research industry in South Korea it is now possible to buy real live dinosaurs from Nordstrom's or Eddie Bauer(catalogue only). Let me also say that the next generation of pet dinosaurs should be engineered mute and house-broken! I bought several for my son, young Throckmorton, and WHAT A MESS! They are constantly

I do not share the fascination with old programs or athletes. In terms of practical advice and how it's presented, I felt that Brawn series was better (although basically the same information).
