    HAIL TO THE DINOSAURS! JLwas talking to Greg Pickett earlier today. Pickett is one of those old fashioned guys who spends a heck of a lot more time TRAINING than he spends on the internet reading, arguing, squawking and talking about it. Which is not to say the big euy lives in the ‘gym. Far from it. Greg holds a hard, demanding job asa medicare auditor, and he works almost as many. hours at his job as I do at mine--and folks, Lwork LOTS of hours, Greg also is married, and spends plenty of time with his wife and kids, He trains two Times a week--the same as when he was winning powerlifting competitions in the 242 pound class. The workouts rarely last for over an hour. He goes down to the basement, loads up the bar, and lifts. When each issue of The Files arrives, he reads The Files. He enjoys old books and magazines. He and I talk on the phone every couple of weeks, and he usually talks to Kim Wood, his fellow Cineinattion, every month or 50. Like I said, the guy spends far rmore rime lifting than talking about i, Take Greg’s example to heart. ‘Atall times, keep things in proper perspective, Lifting is a GOOD thing. Up to a point, READING about lifting is a GOOD thing, Up to a point, WRITING about lifting is a GOOD thing. But, there’s way more to life than “living for lifting, “Well-rounded” doesn’t refer to your biceps, it refers to your life— or it should. Be a dinosaur. Make strength training part ofa full, well-rounded life. Give time and attention to your loved ones. Work your butt off to get ahead in your job. If you are in school, make the most of the ‘opportunity--it will never come again, Exceed your cexpectations.-not only in the weight room, but also in all other facets of your life.

But nothing in the world--in my world, atleast ‘could possible top "Take Max to the gym with you, Max is the newest addition to the family, He's currently four months old, Golden retriever. Fuzzy, funy and incorrigible. ‘And Ginnie wanted me to take him to the Gym! "Bot-but..darling.T stammered, "You...you KNOW who's there!" "Mike's there! Mike love hhas two of them, remember! I did indeed. Sam, the older one, had been my personal nemesis for years. The litle monkey was the king of practical jokers, He had played so many tticks on me over the years that J Jost count after the first couple of thousand, purchased the younger one, Spencer, in retaliation for Sam's practical jokes. { bought him for Mike ‘because T knew he'd drive his big brother over the ‘edge. Even as a puppy you could see a certain Manson-like madness in his beady litle eyes. Yeab, I know it was fiendish and diabolical and all ‘that-but face it, folks, I'm a lawyer. Fiendish and diabolical is my middle name ‘The two monsters more or ess live atthe gym, At Teast, I sec them every time I go over there. They spend half their time hanging around Suzy Storm (the blonde goddess with the hottest legs in the universe), and the rest of it watching tv. Both of them are sick and watped little puppies. Mike made the mistake of | letting Sam watch "Body Heat” on tv one night long ago when Sam was at an impressionable age. Now the big furball turas monkey flips if you say "Kathleen Turner." Meanwhile, Spencer turns monkey flips ifhe sees anything remotely interesting, walk down the street in a short, tight skirt, Or blue jeans. Jogging shorts, Sweat pants. Heck, a pretty git] dressed in a burlap bag could walk down the street and the litle guy would do a monkey flip. These were the maniac mongrels who were recruited by Bubba and Jodo to pretend they were training to be contestants for the "Millionaire" show ‘on tw. Supposedly, they were going to win oodles of cash and get all kinds of endorsement contracts and babe-cake photo ops. They even signed on for a photo shoot at Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion. Of course, being a lawyer and all, T didn't fall for i. (You can check back issues of The Files ta see that 1 didn't fal for it.) Bubba and Jolo talked the dogs into helping with another practical joke. In this one, Spencer was supposed to be playing the World Chess Champion over the internet. Spencer was winning, of course. ‘The grand prize was ten jillion dollars or some other ridiculous amount, and the furballs were going to olden retrievers! He The Dinosaur Files Vol 4 No] _wssudinossutinin.som donate all of the money to puppy shelters around the world. I didn't fall for that one, either. (1f you don't believe ‘me, check it out in the back issues!) Now, you need to understand, Ginnie just laves Max to pieces, and has taken great pains to keep me from corrupting him. Frankly, its been torture, There has been a "NO TELEVISION!" rule in effect at our house ever since the day we brought the litle guy home. "No television" means "No Ally!" Like I si, it has been torture, Buthere was Ginnie, blithely suggesting that I take hher innocent litle puppy to the gym and expose him to the unfettered influence of Sam and Spencer. I couldn't believe it! "Go ahead," she said. “Think how much fun he'll have with Sam and Spencer ‘Well, what was I supposed to do? 1 did what {always do--what ANY married guy always ends up doing--I did exactly what she told me todo. So there Lwas, with the litle rug rat's nose peeping, ‘out of the top of my gym bag. Susie sees me, chews me out for using my gym bag, as a puppy carver, ‘grabs the Tite guy and hugs and kisses on him for awhile, Then she takes him over to the office to introduce him to Sam and Spencer. ‘Mike walks in and sees the new arrival “Bley, it's the Munchkin!” he says. Well, THAT gets everybody's attention! Bubba and JoJo come running over. "Where is he? Where is he?" they ask, ‘Where is who! "The slow motion guy! You called someone a monchkin! We figured it was one of those slow motion exercise geeks!" gave up, left Max in the of locker room to chang: "This és perfect," U beard Mike say as I changed into my sweats. “We can try the new tapes on him!" ‘There was a chorus of rousing "woofs." Sam and Spencer appeated to be agreeing with Mike. "Tapes." I thought about it. What could Mike possibly have meant? "Oh, well," I thought to myself. "At least it's not a Kathleen Tummer film!" Tent out and hit York Course No. 3, which took about 45 minutes, then did the entire set of leg exescises from the York Football course. [think 1 already mentioned that Mike has me doing them as gut busters. Hoffman wrote the course for guys to use ‘with Iron Boots, but since we don't have any, J wrap 10’ lengths of heavy log chain around my ankles, hold them in place with little bungee cords with hooks on the end (the some cords Tuse to attach and went into the August 2000 chains to my anvil when I do anvil lifting) and then do all of the exercises. I finished off with some ridging presses," ie.,a bench press mation while holding a high bridge position. Three sets of six reps ‘with 152 pounds finished me off for the day. I decided to hurry up and shower before Mike came over and made me do more exercises. I hadn't forgotten how he tried to kill me with Hoffinan’s "Simple" System of Barbell Training, ‘At that point, Fate intervened in the form of Bill Grundy, a relatively new member of Mike's Gym who was in hard training for the self-improvement ‘contest “Yo, Brooks--gotta question, my man!" "Shoot." “Like, what are some good poundages to be ‘working up to inthis self improvement gig’ “In what exercises?” “Well, you know...in the pressing and pulling and stuff, The ones in the York courses." “Hold on, [have something that might help. Hoffman wrote up a chart of iting awards in his book, Weight Lifting.
