Summary

You have two choices:

  1. Be lucky enough in middle school, junior high, or high school to be taught basic body movements and step-by-step instructions in the Olympic lifts, powerlifting, mobility, flexibility, kettlebell training, and tumbling
  2. Apply intervention five principles

Here are the answers, but the questions are the real keys:

Strength training for lean body mass and joint mobility work trump everything else.

  • Fundamental human movements are...fundamental.
  • Standards and gaps must be constantly assessed.
  • The notion of "park bench" and "bus bench" workouts must be applied throughout the training lifetime.
  • Constantly strive for mastery and grace.

A must for anyone into training for weightloss or performance.

Whether you're a beginner or an elite level athlete this is a must read. All too often we try to over complicate things when the basics trump insanity.

Advice a father would give you!

There's something about the tone and common sense approach adopted by Dan that makes him so understandable and enjoyable to listen to. Lots of nuggets and laughs along the way. Highly recommended.

Wealth of experience

Simple and effective ideas presented well. Well worth hearing Dan's perspective and experience. Never Let Go was a great read too.

Yes!

Dan knows some stuff so i suggest that you go ahead and sit down, shut up, listen and learn about how to be better than you are now.
