[Biggmofo]

Dude his homegym is oldskooler than oldskool. Hardcore!!!!

[9fifty5]

I own the Dinosaur Training book plus a bunch of his DVD's.

Brooks is a bit of a stiff, but if everyone trained according to the Dinosaur methodology, forums like T Nation and BB.com would become wastelands over night.

'So, what do you guys think about No Explode?'

'Dude, it like gives you a sick pump with concentration curls'

[ShaneSchomburg]

@9fifty5 no explode i hated it , i like super pump the best

[hmldjr]

good job, brooks

[jmedina555]

dinosaur training, the book, is good. brooks is hard to watch on video. too theatrical for me. just lift the weight. quit acting like it's such hard work. he's not a good actor.

[MrRockhardman]

Brooks knows his stuff, but he spouts off against supplements without any evidence to back his opinions up, especially when there's evidence to contradict what he says.

[heathdwatts]

@MrRockhardman "Evidence" for supplements? Are you joking? The only evidence that supplements are effective is that they are effective for making their manufacturers very wealthy.

[MrRockhardman]

@heathdwatts No, I'm not joking or I wouldn't have posted it. Do a simple search and you'll see research done with and without supplements and the results with and without. I myself have used supplements and not, and my strength gains have been better with than without. I'm satisfied with my own results, but like I say, do a search and you'll see.

[heathdwatts]

@MrRockhardman Nutritional supplement makers are not regulated (but should be) by the FDA and can make any claim they like. If you search Google Scholar, you'll find many peer-reviewed articles that suggest that most supplements are no better than placebos. Creatine monohydrate and whey protein may be useful, but the results of the studies I've seen are often contradictory.

[MrRockhardman]

@heathdwatts the FDA isn't all of what it's proclaimed to be, but nonetheless I don't go by google articles that provide research information on studies that are "fixed". I go by personal experience and I only use 2 or 3 companies that have been around for a long time and are reputable. Not all of them are bad. 90% of them yes, but not all of them. And no, I don't go by claims, I go by results that I have experienced firsthand and by other people that I know. To each his own.

[heathdwatts]

@MrRockhardman I'm not sure what you mean by "fixed". The articles that I directed you to are not Google articles, but actual peer-reviewed articles from various scientific journals. Either a supplement works, or it does not. Although you may be correct that the supplements that you are using are effective, your personal evidence may be biased in some way (placebo effect, etc.) and personal evidence has no bearing on phenomena that are testable.

[MrRockhardman]

@heathdwatts Even scientific articles can be swayed by the right dollar amount. it's an old but much used way to "adjust" information. Yes, there are many crap supplements, but... there are good ones also. I spent many years being my own guinea pig, so anything I use now has come from quite a few years of trial and error.  I trust what I take and I highly doubt it's placebo because i went into it as skeptical as you or Brooks.

[heathdwatts]

@MrRockhardman Scientists can falsify data, but they'll be caught & their careers will end. When I write a paper (I'm a computational chemist), I may have a wonderful pet hypothesis that my results kill, but the death of a pet hypothesis usually makes me happy. Discovering how the world actually works is why scientists do science; if I wanted money, I would have been an investment banker. :)

I'm glad you're skeptical about supplements. Joe Weider took plenty of my money when I was a teenager.

[azzaMCrazza]

@heathdwatts I think he owes us all about a thousand dollars

[velocity253]

I love dino training but i can see why brooks had so many injuries....he should've learned more from Doug Hepburn about undertraining

[bbsealbeater]

i remember brooks saying in one of his newletters that he uses this old equipment because an olympic bar and weights wouldn't allow him to lift to overhead because the ceiling is to low

[helltopay1]

Isbrooks the strongest drug free bod around?Great .

[fightfromthetop]

anyone who lifts to Wagner is legit.

respect.

[ekpremareggie1]

Great lift Brooks. Dig the rustic barbell and vintage squat stands!

[JADRANKOBOSKE]

man you are sick!!!

[SShaf]

I love those vids. In some scenes you can see a pile of dog shit on the floor. Seriously. Who doesn't clean up dog shit on the floor in their weight room?

[hybridman]

um, you have a great board, PandB, but I just want to know why you say there is dogshit on his floor? I cant see dogshit anywhere. I am wondering why everyone on PandB talks shit about brooks, but then they come here to watch his vids and buy his books?

[MrStitch105]

Steve Justas' equipment wuold have to be a hell of a lot nicer , just to be crappy. But, that guy can move weights that should be impossible to move (look him up on the net)

[AntonioQM]

The master.

[SovietCommissar1943]

Dino Strenght! Brooks you're the best.

[MeesterChum]

lol nice!! his equipment is as old and crappy as mine. . . first time ever seeing brooks after reading his book. you'd think strossen would hook him up with some of that sweet iron mind gear

[wildanS]

Nah, his equipment might be old, but for sure not crappy. On the other hand you would find plenty of shiny crap in the "chrome and fern" land. ;)

[MikeDunn]

@MeesterChum - LOL, when you said "sweet iron mind gear" it made me think of Napolean Dynamite.

[m0rttt]

This is so fake. He's wearing glasses ffs.

[hasanimellabot]

Brooks is the man.
