Sitting here reading it at work and I must say I'm liking it ALOT.
Like the training philosophy, the simplistic approach, basically everything about it. I'm already on the lookout for more of his stuff as I find it very inspirational.
Does anybody else know of Kubik and his books?

Yeah I read dinosaur training Rilla. Like you say, a good simple approach. I don't think this stuff needs to be complicated - just focus on some core lifts. He was also keen on thick bar work & odd object lifting from what I remember.

Indeed. In a vid I actually saw a pair of ghetto mid-90ies fat gripz made out of a 4 inch length of sandblasting tube. :D

Also seen him wear a homemade "arm-protector" made out of a towel and duct tape for protecting his arms from the DBs on the heavy swings. He's proper old skool with these huge 70ies style glasses and shit. Proper authentic. If nothing else, you'll get a good laugh out of watching the vids.

Links please. I need more dodgy 70s glasses in my life. I love 70s training videos, like the Ricky Bruch one Scott posted. Sad, I know :D

Teaser here, notice the psyche-up routine. It's great!

He's so authentic!
Also I love his jizz face after making the lift. :D

Fucking hell that's the funniest thing I've seen in ages! I'm surprised the video isn't banned. If you play the vid and turn around so you just hear the noise it's a porno... or a man wanking session lmao.

The growling is classic. I bet he's thinking: "I'm a strong bear, I'm a strong fucking bear. I fucking Yogi strong muthafucking bear!" :lol:

He certainly seemed to enjoy the lift.

Concentric squats like that are very hard.

He says in his videos that when he tands out with the hands to the sides he visualizes himself as a pillar of fire. :D

That's definitely the highlight. One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time - love the glasses, love his gym - and he squats listening to Wagner, you can't argue with that.

Quality :D

Captain Kirk was one of my favourites for getting psyched up - you can't beat the 'I wanna hold it' vid.
