Dan John Circuit Workout

A warm up for my strongman training session last night turned into an actual training session.

I love All of Dan John's material and have done for many years, I feel a real connection with his material as a former discus thrower myself. (I will be competing in discus throwing and shot putting this year for my local athletics club Scarborough AC.)

What is it that makes Dan John stand out?

If you're familiar with Dan John's training philosphies then you'll know, but to make it concise 'Dan John simplifies training and says shit loads in only a few words hitting the nail on the head everytime'

'If it's important do it everyday' pretty much says it all

For me Dan John's words are like Rocky Music, they make you wanna get up and train.

Anyways, enough blowing smoke up his arse.

I did a training session from Dan John's blog last night as a warm up and ended up smoking myself with just 2 rounds of the following

10 power cleans
10 back squats
10 power snatches
10 front squats
25 crunches

all with a 60kg barbell

After I regained conciousness I went on to do some over head work with a keg(courtesy of homemadegymstuff) sandbags and some trap bar pressing

Here's the Trap Bar Press - weight was 110kg - difficulty level was - fairly difficult

    I love Dan John's stuff - like you said, he gets straight to the point with no pissing about. Very rare with most of today's authors. Only if I had the flexibility to do some Oly' lifts... Haha.
