Dinosaurs Walk The Earth

Dinosaurs still walk the earth. I had lunch with one
about a year ago, and lived to tell about it. Brooks
Kubik is his name.

During the day Brooks puts on his Clark Kent suit
and tie and does some of the best lawyering south
of the Ohio River, but when he goes home at night
he turns into DinoMan, a 5-time national bench
press champion who has turned from the iron
game and embraced the lost secrets of training
and development, and he's bringing a whole host
of athletes with him.

Take a minute and see what I mean at:

I got an email from Brooks today and the message
was so powerful I had to pass it along to you
verbatim. I'll just let Brooks do the talking:

"I tried something new the other night in my
workout, and it was so tough I barely finished my
training session.

It was a simple idea -- not one that they write
about in the muscle mags, not one that the so-
called "champs" practice, not one that the self-
proclaimed "experts" preach. It was just an idea
that popped into my head one day. Something
that sounded like it might work.

So I tried it.

And it almost flattened me.

In a little under half an hour, I was dripping with
sweat, breathing like a race-horse, and wondering
if I would have the strength to make it from the
garage where I train to the house. At one point,
my left thigh cramped so badly that I had to hobble
out of the garage and into the alley in a sort of semi-
squatting position to try to "walk it off" -- except it
was more like "limp it off" or "stagger it off."

It was new, it was exciting, it was fun, it was
different, and it was a HECK of a workout. The
operative words are "new" and "different." New
and different [in this case] is good.

Remember, I'm 49 and closing in on the half
century mark - with almost 40 years of serious
physical training to my credit. By conservative
estimate, I've had over 10,000 workouts in my life
-- and yet, even after FOUR DECADES of serious
training, I was able to think of something new,
different, exciting, productive, interesting and
demanding that I had never done before.

There's a lesson there for all of you. Never think
you know all there is to know about physical
training. Never assume there's nothing left to
learn. Never believe you "know it all."

Life is growth. You are either growing, gaining,
and progressing -- or you are shrinking, losing
and diminishing. There is no staying in one place.
If you're not going forward, you're going
backwards.

Far too many trainees stop growing because they
stop learning."

Brooks' wisdom is true about any skill, especially
shooting the basketball. If you're looking for
something new to try on your quest to become a
hoops sharpshooter you'll find plenty to work on

P.S. I talked to Patrick Chylinsky and his secret,
underground report on how to become a big-time
scorer and average over 20 points per game is
ready. I just need to do my part now. Sorry,
but I've been helping my wife with a business
project of her own. Forgive me for frustrating
you like this again, but as always you'll see it
was worth the wait.

To Your Success.
