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!!
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.
Just wrapped up 6weeks ABC increasing 2-3 rounds each week. tue/Thur I’d do some jump rope if I wanted to scratch that itch. week varying weight/rest days. One of the first times I stayed injury and tweak free. Week1-3 (double kB ABC) mon: 2x20kg 15-20 emom We’d: 2x28kg 5-10 eOmom Fri: 2x24 kg 10-15 e1.5mom Week 4-6 (single kb ABC) Mon: 1x 24kg 15-20 emom Wed: 1x32kg 5-10 eOmom Fri: 1x28kg 10-15 e1.5mo
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.
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.
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... :-)
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 OK, thank you sir. I'll see where I end up. (I should probably finish reading the omnibook before asking more easy strength questions).
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?
