[@christophm.9131]

Dear Dan. Thank you very much - again - for answering my question regarding MAPS! I am really happy about that and glad you backed up my opinion. I have gotten rid of that elbow problem. I'am using your guideline of same but different so varying the grips for upper and stances for lower body stuff and try to only get to positive failure rarely on pulling and only for the last set. But not so much variation that I do not see progress. Means I vary every 4-6 weeks. Thanks again!!

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

My pleasure!

[@larslind3030]

my big eye-opener in weight training and exercise. Is undoubtedly Dan john. From the bottom of my heart thank you Dan

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

My pleasure! Thank you

[@maxd1744]

Thanks Dan for opening me up to the world of variation. You have so many fun, simple, and sometimes difficult programs and workout ideas! Also, the combination with the no-nonsense prose is amazing.

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Glad you like them! I love doing this...

I just finished the book, but I wish I would have seen this before. Your numbers are really a good way to do this.

[@BrianReeves2]

What a great episode, I always learn something from your podcasts but this one seemed to have a couple more nuggets than usual that I could use. I, too, want to see my grandkids grow up, which is why I'm trying to do the right thing with exercise, finances, and the rest. Thanks, Coach.

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@terrydaly5737]

This is an episode, that you can go back and re-listen to absorb.

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Well, thank you. Good questions make my life easier (honest opinion!).

[@CallumGillard-t9r]

First 3 are easy, Marty Gallagher, Dan John, Pavel (his early work) but the fourth one is tough...

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Much appreciated. Let's start the work on this...

[@CallumGillard-t9r]

Either John McCallum or George Hackenschmidt, both so ahead of their time, very impressive. @@DanJohnStrengthCoach

[@Strider86]

I just bought the easy strength Omnibook. Thank you for your advice! I really appreciate your work!

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@marksaysboo]

Hi Dan John and thx for another great video - did you say you have a new book with kettlebell workouts?

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

I have a KB book, the Hardstyle KB Challenge, and I should have my ABC book out SOON!

[@andythetallguy]

Brilliant episode. Always appreciate your honesty, humility and all the great ideas

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Glad you like them!

[@offTheMedsYe]

even though I'm late with this - thank you Dan for answering my question, it means a lot!

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

It's my pleasure...truly.

[@Jweldsandlifts]

Dan, I'm really happy to see how quickly you jumped from 30 to 40k+ subs! It's only a matter of time before this channel has 300k subs and the online fitness community will be better for it. When rehabbing from MAPS I replace pull ups with "Australian Pull ups" where you hang from a ~waist level bar with your legs straight out, heels on the ground, toes up, pull your chest to the bar, pause, and control descent. For me, they're the next best thing to pullups and pain-free for my elbows even at high volume. I like the suspension variety also.

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

I'm a big fan of the suspension one, too. Yeah, those new numbers are weirdly high.

[@valeriybaibossynov2690]

Just two weeks ago recieved John Jessy book, and gifted it to my wrestling coach. It amazed me how many new things are not new at all.

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

"Everything old is new again" It's a song...and the story of lifting.

[@shawnpatten6515]

Really enjoyed this episode Dan.

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Much appreciated.

[@tobiasloudil576]

Thank you, Sir! You just Made my day. I didn't do anything today beside some Walking. Just having a nice drink and listening to you I made some Clean and press. Just 10 reps left and 10 reps right side. Feeling much better. Ready for the next drink... :-)

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Excellent! I enjoy these kind of comments

[@rickcody6037]

Outstanding Coach! Wow! So many good nuggets in this Podcast. Reminds me of Mathew 13v45. Thank you!

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Thanks for listening

[@castingsuceava]

Thank you for everything! Greetings from Romania.

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Welcome!

[@drunknnirish]

I think a great candidate for the 4th spot (excluding yourself because you could surely be there sir) would be Marty Gallagher.

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

A great man. Stu McGill, too.

[@DaveM86]

My time is becoming more limited and I really want to continue with Easy Strength and also the alternating ABC/Humane Burpee pattern. What would you think of doing easy strength twice a week (Mon/Fri), and doing the ABC or HB as a finisher for that, with a shorter workout on Wednesday consisting of just some calisthenics and the ABC/HB (depending on which part of the rotation I’m on)?

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

That's a lot of adjustments to a program. Usually, I would suggest doing easier versions of ES followed by ABC, but try your version...

[@DaveM86]

@@DanJohnStrengthCoach OK, thank you sir. I'll see where I end up. (I should probably finish reading the omnibook before asking more easy strength questions).

[@bradleyjish]

Quick question, sir… when you have a moment. A middle-aged fella with an active job that I need to stay in shape for. What are your thoughts on doing easy strength followed by a complex or conditioning, etc.? Or does that just screw everything up?

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

It's actually the base of many of my more advanced programs, so "yes."

[@bradleyjish]

Thanks for your help and response.

[@bradleyjish]

*for conditioning

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Got it...
