Dan John has spent his life with one foot in the world of lifting and throwing, and the other foot in academia. An All-American discus thrower, Dan has also competed at the highest levels of Olympic lifting, Highland Games and the Weight Pentathlon, an event in which he holds the American record.
Dan spends his work life blending weekly workshops and lectures with full-time writing, and is also an online religious studies instructor for Columbia College of Missouri. As a Fulbright Scholar, he toured the Middle East exploring the foundations of religious education systems. Dan is also a Senior Lecturer for St Mary’s University, Twickenham, London.
His books, on weightlifting, include Intervention, Never Let Go, Mass Made Simple and Easy Strength, written with Pavel Tsatsouline as well as From Dad, To Grad. He and Josh Hillis co-authored “Fat Loss Happens on Monday.”
In 2015, Dan wrote Can You Go? on his approach to assessments and basic training. In addition, Before We Go, another compilation akin to Never Let Go became an Amazon Bestseller.
In early 2017, Dan’s book, Now What?, his approach to Performance and dealing with “life,” became a Bestseller on Amazon. Hardstyle Kettlebell Challenge became available in September 2017, too.

I think you have genuinely one of the best (if not the best) content for physical training we can get from Internet.

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Thank you so much!

“Put it down like a professional” underrated advice

[@ryanwilliams9984]

Dang. Just in time for a refresh. Thanks, Dan!

[@ozw123]

Dan, can you recommend a safe weight to start with for the waiter walk? Same as press weight? Thanks dude.

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

It's probably a good idea to go light and walk a bit first. If you have any stability issues, we want you to err on safety at first. Most men can do their press weights as the heavier day. It's not much on paper/video, but it can really get you.

[@andythetallguy]

Do you prefer Singles or Doubles Dan? (That's KBs, not spirits!)

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Search my channel for the binary video.

[@andythetallguy]

@@DanJohnStrengthCoach ahhh. It depends. I really liked your latest Wandering Weights 👍

[@mikeriches4174]

Want to do a minimalist program for 3-6 months. But can’t decide between cleans and dips or deads and push ups. Does it matter? Goal is being simple and putting on some mass with Minimal thought process.

[@dsguk27]

Why not switch every 6 weeks between your suggestions? That way you get variety to keep on progressing 💪 I'd perhaps suggest making sure you are doing pulls, presses, hip hinge and squats over a 6 month period. At the moment it the suggested exercises look very hinge & press maybe that's deliberate? 🙏

[@JohnRhodes-lv3rg]

I really like barbell deadlifts and one arm KB presses or handstand push ups. Easy Strength style

[@roundwoundsounds4316]

Very helpful! I'm running your easy strength program for the fisrt time and put the half kneeling press in as my veritcal press movement. Coming from dumbbells and barbells I put the weight out exactly how you said someone with my background would. Very quickly got to a kettle bell that was big enough to rest on my bicep at the bottom of each rep, forcing me to do half reps really. I see the error now!

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Well, thank you for letting me know this. I have three pressing (overhead) techniques: my barbell press, my dumbbell press, and my KB press. Slight differences, true, but still worth reminding myself...much appreciated.

[@xene911]

Can you talk about that V or inverted V for cleans?

[@Dinoenthusiastguy]

I'm not Dan but Pavel wrote an article called "The Proper Thumb Position in Kettlebell Pulls" - it might have some of the answers you're looking for.

[@thebigredfish]

Thanks dan!

[@Matteyou1986]

My neighbors think I am strange too!

[@sticks0662]

Great information 👍

[@tryI0]

Thanks!
