Beowulf | Dan John Workshop

I originally created this for some of our service members. While it's not about sets and reps, it's a topic I've spent a lot of time with and wanted to share my thoughts with all of you.

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.

Wow, excellent content! It's so refreshing to learn from a fitness authority whose mind is as trained as his body. Thank you Mr. John for reminding us that true health embraces both body and soul. You are living proof the path from warrior to king is one worth treading!

Dan, you’re a gem; keep doing what you’re doing.

Thanks for speaking on this matter. It's something I try to adhere to and have opened my mind up to.

On Warrior Spirit: Reading was the modern way to spread or save information. The internet has only spread that knowledge and accelerated the exchange of ideas. People can fast while playing video games or on the internet, religion and prayer are still alive in households. Use of alcohol just depends, since it's been around for a long time.

Hi Dan, thanks for keeping the videos coming. The variety and quality of advise as always is the best around.
A few queries :
1) If you could go back and give a young Dan John some advice or titbits on lifting and life, what would they be?
2) Hip health, whats your thoughts and recommendations. Especially to those who follow a squat, push, pull, hinge program where the hips get a regular beating. Do you feel anything particular lead to or contributed to your own hip health in the past.

Oh and if you ever have a visit planned to Ireland in the future, make sure to let us all know. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to Galway.
Best wishes to you and yours,
Graeme
Northern Ireland
