Brooks also publishes The Dinosaur Files, a monthly newsletter covering strength training, muscle building, weight training, physical culture, diet and nutrition, and Iron Game history.

Brooks and his wife, Trudi, live in Port Townsend, Washington. At age 64, with more than half a century of hard training under his belt, Brooks continues to trains regularly both in his home gym and on the rugged beaches of the northern Washington coast.
