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!
