g;day everyone i’m wayne and i live in AUSTRALIA. i have fallen in love with dino training by BROOKS KUBIK and training the old fashioned way like they did late 1800’s to 1950. I would like to here from anyone who is training this way or is keen to try this style of training. give me details of your routine or I mite be able to give some advice on how to train this way.next time I post i will post my training routine and what lifts i do
G’day W12345.
I’m interested in Dino training. Whatever you got I’ll take.
Billy
I second that.
And a third!
Give us a run down
I have all of the “Dino Files”, and all of the Dino video tapes. The Files are really great and inspirational to read and have some great article reprints from the mid century. The videos have some cool demonstrations but are a little repetitive. Not repetitive from video to video, but repetitive within the video, so you’ll have a 2 hour workout taped, but it is the same handful of exercises (“Let’s try that with 100.” “Let’s try that with 105.”)
what exactly is dino training?
I have read some of Kubrick’s articles available on his site, but have yet to get any of his products. Will be buying some in the future…
If you are interested in the kind of training that Brooks Kubick recommends then copy and paste this address into google.
It has all of the oldtime strongman tarining books by Saxon, Sandow, Mcfadden etc. You can print them off for free.
I like one of Sandow’s recommendations to take off your corset before working out…
g’day people it’s wayne here i’m so happy to hear your replies.today i trained legs;instead of doing bar squats i did squats on a cable squat machine.I position my feet so i do one legged squats and go to absolute rock bottom so my calves are in full contact with my hamstrings.I did 3 sets of 5 reps with 100kgs;when i finnished my legs were fried then i went and did 4 sets of 5 reps on the overhead squats. I have been practicing them for 3 months starting of with just the bar and my grip was against the collars on a olympic bar. today i worked up to 5 reps with 60 kgs and my grip is 6 inches inside the collars. i am very happy with my progres and have noticed i am getting a lot thicker in the legs hips glutes and upper back and shoulders just from doing overhead squats.that’s just a glimce into part of my leg training.I would like to post more of my traing in the next few day’s and explain more on dino training.you guy’s sound great and i want to here your ideas and training programs
to twistedlocal i’ll try and explain my view on dino training. i have read BROOKS KUBIK book on dino training and basically it’s training with bars and dumbells with heavy weights with compound movements. the lifts consist of any form of free weight squats,all forms of deadlifts, all forms of overhead lifting,some bench pressing, heavy tricep pressing,some heavy curls,then you have keg/barrell lifting,all kinds of grip work then you finnish of your workout with farmers walk,sandbag carries, tyre flips.Don’t forget throw in some OLYMPIC LIFTING and power cleans,high pulls,shrugs. that’s just a brief look at dino training,i have been doing this for 2yrs and swear by it, BROOKS is a god to me and i will never train any other way again.if you would like to know more , or about my training please post and i will be happy to help in any way.
