Dinosaur Dumbbell Training

Author of the international best seller, “Dinosaur Training”

Kubik 13-2 When people think about dumbbell training, they usually think about isolation-style bodybuilding exercises with relatively light dumbbells.

You know – triceps extensions, lateral raises and concentration curls.

But that’s the MODERN version of dumbbell training.

Many of the old-time strongmen – the men that the author writes about in “Dinosaur Training: Lost Secrets of Strength and Development”, and his other books and courses, – specialized in dumbbell training. But it was a far different type of dumbbell training than you see today.

Consider this:

Three-time NABBA Mr. Universe winner “REG PARK” – England’s greatest bodybuilder and the most massively developed and strongest bodybuilder in the entire world in the 1950’s – set a British record in the two-hands dumbbell clean and press.

The Canadian Hercules, Doug Hepburn, a World weightlifting champion, World Record holder, Commonwealth Games weightlifting champion, and one of the strongest and most massive men who ever lived, set records in the one and two dumbbell press that have never been equaled.

Tommy Kono – a two-time Olympic Gold medal winner, six-time World weightlifting champion, four time Mr. Universe and holder of 26 World records in four different weight classes – believed so strongly in the value of heavy dumbbell training that he had a machinist friend make a specially designed pair of dumbbell handles so he could handle his absolute maximum in heavy dumbbell training.

Legendary New York City gym owner “Sig Klein” – one of the best developed men of his generation, and pound for pound one of the strongest men of all time (he set a professional world record in the military press, handling more than 150% of his own body-weight) – considered heavy dumbbell training to be one of the true secrets of the old-time strongmen.

The incomparable “John Grimek”, the legendary Monarch of Muscledom, did much of his training with heavy dumbbells – and was able to clean and press a pair of 140-pound dumbbells! Grimek also excelled at the one arm swing – and was so good at this lift that when the York Barbell Club held informal contests on the lift, they told Grimek he was “too good” to compete!

The legendary strongmen who thrilled the world during the Golden Age of Strength – John Marx, “Arthur Saxon”, Eugen Sandow, “Thomas Inch”, Louis Cyr, and Louis Uni (Apollon) – all trained with heavy dumbbells.

So dumbbell training – OLD-SCHOOL DUMBBELL TRAINING – has a long and impressive history, dating all the way back to the very beginning of organized weightlifting.
