Dinosaur Training 101

[Grapplers Gym]

I had the great thrill of interviewing Brooks Kubic, Author of Dinorsaur Training today and wanted to pass on the interview for you to check out.

Some of the topics that we covered included the following:

1. Brooks background in wrestling and lifting comps.

2. Dinosaur Training (the book).

3. The 12 Elements of Dinosaur Training

4. The true value of grip training for grapplers

5. Sandbag training for grapplers

6. The difference between training for functional strength and “bodybuilding”

7. What every grappler needs to know about strength training

8. How Dinosaur Training traces its roots to old time strongmen and old time wrestlers

9. What Brooks learned from Arthur Saxon

10. Things Brooks learned from Nat Fleischer, former editor of Ring magazine

11. How Joe Stecher used sandbags to train the most devastating body scissors in the history of the game

12. The importance of mental toughness for grapplers, athletes and lifters

And that’s only a partial list of what we covered.

I nearly dropped out of my seat, seeing this on bb.com.
Great interview with a great lifter.
Brooks already sent this out in his Dinosaur Letter, I doubt though that many people here have subscribed to it.
