Oldtime Strength Training Routine

Strength Training Routine - Dino Style

Drop your chrome dumbbells, get rid of your fingerless leather gloves, turn MTV off and get the fuck out of the poser gym and into some hardcore training establishment.

Your back yard will do or even the park, anywhere you can grunt,sweat get chalked up and swear out loud

This Strength Training Routine has it all. It will hit you from head to toe and make you stronger than ever. Forget single leg deadlifts and 100 different positions on a blow up beach ball to train your 'core' this will add strength and size to your core like nothing else and then some!

In fact I'll replace 'core' with 'trunk' from now on!

This strength routine is an old one and was brought to my attention after reading through the awesome Dinosaur Training book by Brooks Kubik

Brooks put this routine in Dinosaur Training, it was from IRONMAN magazine in 1955 and displays all the characteristics of an awesome Dinosaur Strength Training Routine.

1. Two hands deadlift, which was favorite exercise of Herman Goerner
2. Walking with weight, favorite exercise of Milo of Croton
3. Carrying the bar in a dead lift position, favorite exercise of Arthur Giroux
4. Bent Presses, favorite exercise of Saxon
5. Reverse Continental and jerk from behind neck, favorite exercise of Saxon.

This program is truly old and beautiful, workout the sets and reps for yourself, but it certainly hits all angles of the body and will hit them hard if you work to your limits.

My favourites here are walking with weights, I like sandbags, kettlebells and of course farmers walks bars. This exercise hits your heart and lungs, grip, shoulders, legs and trunk. It is could so easily place very high up on the 'Ultimate Exercise List'

My other favourite is the jerk from behind neck. Again this is an awesome all round power builder that simultaneously develops co-ordination and timing not to mention immense athletic prowess. Many world champion shot putters have done well utilising this movement.
