"Dinosaur Training Secrets: Volume I" by Brooks D. Kubik serves as a primal call to those yearning to break free from the monotonous, high-tech fitness routines that dominate today's training landscape. Kubik, a titan in the world of strength training, excavates the forgotten lore of raw, gritty, and effective workout methods that harken back to an era when strength was not just an attribute but a survival trait. Through chapters that dissect the essence of what it means to train with purpose, Kubik introduces readers to the foundational exercises and principles that have sculpted warriors and athletes for generations. From the art of lifting heavy awkward objects to mastering Olympic weightlifting, and from enhancing bone, tendon, and ligament strength to embracing the power of thick bar training, this tome is a treasure trove of ancient wisdom adapted for the modern muscle enthusiast. Beyond just a compilation of exercises, "Dinosaur Training Secrets: Volume I" is a manifesto that challenges the prevailing dogmas of fitness, advocating for a return to basics with a focus on intensity, simplicity, and the sheer joy of lifting heavy things. Kubik's insightful commentary on the balance between strength and aesthetics, the importance of gut training, and the intricacies of the light, medium, heavy system, provides a comprehensive guide for anyone looking to forge themselves anew with the indomitable spirit of the dinosaurs of old. This book doesn't just instruct; it inspires, pushing you to explore the limits of your physical and mental endurance with routines that demand nothing less than your best. Whether you're a seasoned weightlifter or a novice drawn to the call of the iron, "Dinosaur Training Secrets: Volume I" promises to be a relentless companion in your quest for unparalleled strength.

Your best compound exercises are squats, front squats, deadlifts, Trap Bar deadlifts, standing presses with barbells or dumbbells (or a single dumbbell), barbell and dumbbell bent-over rowing, pull-ups, chin-ups, pull-downs, weighted push-ups, bench presses (performed with barbells, dumbbells, or a single dumbbell), incline presses (performed with barbells, dumbbells, or a single dumbbell), shoulder shrugs (performed with a barbell, two dumbbells, one dumbbell or a Trap Bar), deadlifts from the knees (performed with the bar or Trap Bar elevated by resting the plates on sturdy wooden blocks), hand and thigh lifts, and Hise shrugs. (Many would add dips to the list; I don't because they're hard on the shoulders and can cause shoulder problems for many trainees, particularly older trainees.
