Brand New!
CLOUDS OF WAR
by Brooks D. Kubik
Sequel to Legacy of Iron: A Novel!
Last year my good friend and world famous author of Dinosaur Training took a chance on doing something that no one else had done in the strength training world.
He wrote a novel.
Yeah, once again, he rocked the strength world famous for heavy black iron, sweat suits and grunting and groaning.
Initially, when the news broke that his Legacy of Iron: The Novel was available, many trainees were put off by the word, “novel”.
Many of them said, “C’mon, Bill, I want a book with training information, real men don’t read novels!
That’s until the spit hit the fan and the testimonials came pouring in about how much weightlifting history as well as result producing training information was contained in his book.
Even Brooks said to me, “You know, Bill, I’m going out on a limb with this type of book. This approach has been done in just about every other type of athletics, but never in the history of weightlifting.”
I told him that I thought it was a great idea and if anyone can break new ground with a book of this type, he could.
Well, as you probably know by now, the sales of Legacy of Iron: A Novel were off the charts in no time.
So much so, that Brooks decided to write the sequel immediately rather than wait.
And here it is, Legacy of Iron: Clouds of War...
And, man, are you gonna love the way the characters pick up the pace and start right off with 1940 Junior Nationals.
The York gang will, once again, play a prominent role in the molding of our main character, Jim Miller.
The behind the scenes stories just seem to go on and on.
But it doesn’t stop there, once again, tons of training information is included.
Take a look at some of the action contained in this book:
Big time lifters like Grimek, Stanko and Davis go toe to toe to see who takes the title of the strongest man!
Read about the most famous bodybuilder of them all, John Grimek. His win in the Senior Nationals, Mr. America contest and world record breaking Military Press!
Learn about the courage it takes to become a champion, the type of courage that lifters had to overcome injury.
Feel what it was like to live during the Great Depression and approach one of the most devastating eras as the world prepares for all out war.
All this with the continuing life of Jim Miller as he meets the girl of his dreams.
"The follow up companion volume that you won't want to be without!"

Author of the international best seller, “Dinosaur Training”!
Here it is, finally, after 12 long years, the latest hot selling book by premier strength author and champion weightlifter, Brooks Kubik, the man who coined the phrase, “Dinosaur Training.”
Have you ever asked yourself, “How did the old time strongmen and lifters train? What secret training methods did they use? What kinds of food did they eat? And just how did they live on a day to day basis?”
Think about it, what could be better than going back into time and training with all the big names in weightlifting. You know, back in the Golden Era of Weightlifting, the 30’s, back when America was cranking out National Champions left and right, back when America won Olympic medals in weightlifting hand over fist!
And, how would you like to picture yourself, as a young teenager, in the same room with Bob Hoffman, owner of York Barbell Co. and John Grimek, Mr. America? Or how about Steve Stanko, Mr. Universe, and Harry “Bosco” Paschall, etc., to name a few. Listening to their conversations about lifting. Getting a feel for their personalities, who they really are and how they interact with one another.
Well, here’s your opportunity to do just that and more!
If you are into weightlifting, Olympic lifting, bodybuilding, in fact, any kind of strength training at all, you won’t want to put this book down till it’s finished!
That’s right, believe me, this book will not only entertain and inspire you, but educate you as well. And don’t be surprised if you find yourself reaching for a pencil and notebook to jot down the old school training methods that really work!

Testimonials to LEGACY OF IRON - A Novel
"I finished reading your book Saturday night and enjoyed it very much. The story really picked up speed toward the end and left me wanting to read more. I am looking forward to the sequel to it now.
All the names mentioned in the book was familiar to me so I could just picture the conversation between them that you wrote. It is a great book and anyone who has read Strength and Health or had any connections with York Barbell Company would love reading it.
Great book! Don't take too long in coming up with the next one.”
Tommy Kono
United States, World and Olympic Weightlifting Champion and Record Holder
Author of Weightlifting – Olympic Style
"Loved Legacy of Iron. In particular, I appreciated the positive portrayal of York Barbell and its more prominent figures from those years. A lot of people wandered into York Barbell and developed various levels of attachments with those folks.
While servicemen sometimes tended to spend their three-day passes trolling for “loose” women in “watering holes”, barbell-oriented GI’s often hitchhiked to York in the hopes of getting to see the name players in Strength and Health train. According to Grimek and Terpak, some of these same soldiers asked if they would be allowed to workout in the gym. Upon receiving the green light, these soldiers couldn’t believe their good fortune.
Not atypical, too, were guys from all over the USA who saved up enough money to come live in York for several weeks and do nothing but train at the gym. Certain of these transplants were up-and-coming lifters or bodybuilders, to be sure, but there were other regular weight trainers who just felt they had to experience Muscletown firsthand. Sort of realizing a lifelong dream.
Make no mistake about it -- your book captures that irresistible draw, magic or vibe that personified York Barbell.”

“I am so glad you wrote something like this that will preserve the memory of York and the giants that once inhabited it. I enjoyed many happy and helpful moments with folks like Terpak, Hoffman, Stanko, Grimek, Bachtel, et. al. Had a great correspondence relationship with Harry Paschall.
I have an elite collection of weightlifting books on the little table beside my pet chair – only a few qualify for it. You now have two therein: Legacy of Iron and Dinosaur Training.”

"I wanted to let you know that I had purchased Legacy of Iron from you and I finished it last week. It was a great book. I enjoyed the weightlifting history that was brought into the storyline. I think that Mr. Kubik did a great job at explaining to people the most important thing was to train. It was a great read. I look forward to the follow up book. Thanks,"

"I hope the day finds you well. I just recieved the Brooks Kubik masterpiece Legacy of Iron yesterday. WOW! That is a great book! I read five pages sitting in the truck at the post office. Til I realized someone was waiting for the parking spot. I read five more pages in the lot at the gym before my workout. I read a few more waiting for my truck to warm up(we are in the middle of a 20 below cold snap up here). You were right, you just can't put that thing down! It reads like a novel but is so rich with information, it's brilliant! I am a vorascious reader and I can't remember a time I enjoyed a book more. Hats off to Mr. Kubik! My only critique is that the book will come to an end. I do hope he hurrys with the sequel. I loved Dinosaur Training, which should be required reading for any strength trainer and now Legacy of Iron. I am proud to have them both on my bookshelf! I would put Brooks' writings right up into the stratified air that John McCallums' Keys to Progress occupies! Once again, well done! Thank you for the time you've taken to read this, stay strong and stay healthy, Murray"

"I wanted to let you know that I loved Legacy of Iron. Brooks did an excellent job with this one."
Andrew M.

"The author has an uncanny knack of being able to make you feel like you are there, sitting next to National Weight Lifting Champions and Olympic Lifters on a day to day basis. Just as if they lived next door. He blends an interesting dramatization using fictitious characters with real flesh and blood people who make up the history of our beloved Iron Game with cold hard facts. No armed chair guru, that’s for sure, Kubik writes in the familiar dialogue that only an experienced lifter would understand. Kudos to Kubik for another literary notch in his lifting belt!"

Legacy of Iron:
A Novel
by Brooks Kubik

“Lost Secrets of
Strength and Development"
...The Dinosaur Alternative!
In 1996 I got a call from my old friend, Brooks Kubik. Brooks and I go way back. As a matter of fact, I sold weight training books to him when he was a teenager.
“Bill, I’ve put together a book and I’d like to have you take a look at the manuscript…tell me what you think.”
I said, “Sure, send it along.”
Now I knew Brooks was a serious, no nonsense, lifter as could be seen through his magazine articles.
But, gee, what else could he possibly relate that isn’t already out there?
I told him I’d edit it and make some suggestions.
He said, “Sure, go for it.”
Well, I got the manuscript a few days later in a big envelope. Sure enough, there had to be 450 pages, typed and double spaced.
I read the first chapter…hmmm…another chapter…whoa…I thought, this is really good! I
wanted to continue on but was called out. The next day I finished the book, non stop.
I called Brooks that day and he asked me what I thought of it. I said, “This book is tremendous!”
He asked, “Think I should change anything?”
“No, it’s perfect the way it stands! Brooks, you’ve got to publish this book, it’s one of the best I’ve ever read!”
“How many should I print…500?”, he asked.
“No, not that many…a thousand, no make that two thousand! Print as many as you can, everyone will want a copy!”, I said.
“You really think it’s that good?” he asked, once again.
“Brooks, if you don’t want to print it, then give it to me and I will!”
He hesitated, “Okay then, I’ll print it.”
And that’s how it all started…
That is how a champion high school wrestler and 5 time National Bench Press Champion revolutionized how the average “cellar dweller” or “garage gorilla” looks at weightlifting for strength.
That is who coined the phrase, “Dinosaur Training.”
But then, I should know, I wrote the introduction.
"Learn from the Original Dinosaur!"
New and destined to be one of the most talked about books ever written for
the weight training world!
Written by a man who has studied serious strength training his entire lifetime!

Here's What People Are Saying About
Dinosaur Training by Brooks Kubik:
"I turned 68 this past June 25, I can squat 355, bench 250, weak in the deadlift at around 300.....Thanks to Super Squats and Dinosaur Training, I'm gettin' stronger, long term goal is bench over 300, squat over 400, deadlift over 400."
Billy C.
West Monroe, Louisiana
"I am one of the lucky ones to already have Brook Kubik's Dinosaur Training book. I like its no-nonsense common sense approach which deserves to be read and appreciated.
I admit, I myself, was taken in by all that bodybuilding nonsense. Kubik's book makes training simple, as it should be.
Thank you!"
Davis S.
London, United Kingdom
" Thanks for the heads-up about my copy of Brooks' Legacy of Iron going out. I just wanted to pass on my history with Brooks' first book, Dinosaur Training. I bought the book at the gym I was working out at at the time. It was in the bottom of this old school house(as most true gyms seem to be). It was owned and run by Jamie Harris, who at one time had the world record for the bench press at 760 lbs. My copy is a first edition, signed by Brooks himself! Needless to say, it is now a little dirty and dog-eared but that book changed my training and outlook on training forever.(not to be too
dramatic.) Up and till that time I had gotten routines from magazines like
everyone else. What Brooks wrote about really made sense and pointed me to
a better direction than the one I was on. I know it sounds probably like the
first few hundred stories you get but of all the books I have bought off of
you and the back copies of Milo I have in my own "garage dungeon", Brooks' book Dinosaur Training is the bible. Thanks!"
