@lewisyaworski8962 4 года назад

It is very true what Coach Dan John said about not including a heavy barbell squat into the program. Every time that I have included that into my training, it always seems to make recovery harder than it should be. I also found it did a number on my shoulder and my press suffered. Goblet squat in warm-up or front squat for 2 x 5 if you have to, but it can be avoided.

@DanJohnStrengthCoach 4 года назад

Thank you for the insight.

@baccaratfitness2360 Год назад

As someone who’s been lifting weights for over 4 decades and who tried to foolishly follow Arnold’s routines I can say that listening to Dan and Pavel’s philosophies on strength training makes me a bit sad knowing what I could’ve been. While I’m proud of what I achieved I can only mourn what I could’ve been had I not taxed my nervous system to the degree I did. That on top of the carb crazy 80’s. Who remembers Carbo-Fuel by Twinlabs? Yeesh…

@milanojudo 4 года назад

This is great and makes so much sense! Do you think the additional loading of the spine that comes with training something like back squats could be one of the reasons it has been difficult to integrate heavy squat movements more into "Easy Strength"? I have been doing hip belt squats (using a loading pin and dip belt while standing on blocks) lately and I really like how they feel. I think I am going to try and use them as a tool to help maintain my squat as you recommend, but I have to admit I am tempted to try and add them as one of Easy Strength's 2x5 movements........

@DanJohnStrengthCoach 4 года назад

I'm not sure what the issue with squats is. It just never seems to work well.

@lb3598 4 года назад

@paulohara9937 4 года назад

Great content. Many thanks for sharing 🙏. I also remember reading about your 1-2-3 strength ladders and assume that the extra volume of lifts would require more / longer recovery.

Hey Dan, I am using Easy Strength. Kettle bells shoulder press kneeling. My dominant right side I have worked up to 20kg. My left side I can only do 12 .5kg. Is it volume and patience to build up to 20kg both left and right side. I'm 6ft tall, 13stone weight. Psychology of lifting makes me feel better mentally. I'm 50 years old.

There might not be enough load with the push ups, but you can certainly do presses with the KB and I recommend everyone do pull ups in the program as well.

@zdragtwins 4 года назад

Hey Dan, quick question. I was wondering what your approach is to warming up for this style of programming. Do you take a traditional approach of warming up for each lift individually or take a more all around approach of doing something to get your heart rate up in general (such as running)? Thanks!

@DanJohnStrengthCoach 4 года назад

You don't need much warm up at all.

@MR-yp7mu 4 года назад

Easy Strength is a great program for “lazy” people. I love it. Do you have a great hypertrophy program for lazy people?

Not in the same way. Hypertrophy needs more time under tension. There's lots of ways to do that, but none of them are "lazy."

@AinoShperber 3 года назад

Hello there! I have always enjoyed your ideas and thoughts on life and fitness!! Question : deadlift are taxing on the body, will I be able to dealifts five times a week? 3x3 x5 days? I am 47, female and have been lifting consistently for about 6 years. But still.... How heavy should I be lifting? Thank you.

@DanJohnStrengthCoach 3 года назад

You can deadlift that frequently if you keep the loads light. With Easy Strength, it should always be easy loads for that day. Some days you'll feel strong and easy will be heavier, but you should always feel like the workout was easy when you're finished.

@danmccarthy6692 3 года назад

Hello Dan, I have 2 questions. 1) Is it always up to the athlete to decide how much weight they’re lifting, or is there a book or something that tells you that e.g. day 1 go heavy, day 2 go light. 2) Should you just stick to the same push and pull exercises? Should you not mix between e.g OH press and bench press? Should you just do 40 days of bench then 40 days over head? Thanks very much Dan, you’re a really smart man👍🏻

@DanJohnStrengthCoach 3 года назад

1) With Easy Strength, yes. 2) It's been done both ways. I usually stick with one though.

@danmccarthy6692 3 года назад

Dan John last thing, I am in season at the present minute, I play Gaelic football and I was doing a Litvinov workout once/ twice a week, I felt the sprinting was good for helping me get faster. I was wondering if there is anyway in which I could keep the sprinting in alongside with the easy strength protocol. Thank you Dan 👍🏻

@gerdspecht9992 4 года назад

Hey Coach, one more question but first things first. Thanks for all the help, inspiration and funny moments. So to the question, for my next turn on easy strength, I would like to do KB Snatch (for power movement) alternating with car push (for loaded carry). For the Snatch, the Protokoll is the same as Pavel recommended in the quick and the dead with roll a dice for the reps to get variety in load. Waths your opinion on this? Plus, when ever possible (2-3 times a week) do some Hills as a stand alone workout.

@DanJohnStrengthCoach 4 года назад

I would do the snatches like I do the swings. 25ish total.

@gerdspecht9992 4 года назад

@patterbt Год назад

Hey coach Dan, thanks a ton for this awesome workshop! For background, I am a runner focusing on trail ultramarathons; but I also really enjoy lifting weights. So in addition to easy strength, my sport to go along with it is running. Quick question on push-pull and limiting the workout to "5 exercises". Since the workout is very fast to go through with only 10 reps for the push-pull, is there any specific reason NOT to do both a horizontal and a vertical push pull? What I mean is that I could do a bench press for horizontal push, back row for horizontal pull, upright press for vertical push, and pull up for vertical pull. Then I would also add in the explosive movement and the ab movement. Would this be ok, or is this a bad idea?

My warmups right now are generally a few prying goblet squats and halos and I throw in a few TGU’s as well. Any objections or inherent issues with doing TGU’s as a warmup? I feel like it gets me primed and mentally ready since it’s a slow movement and gets me in that meditative/mindful state of mind.

@ricklathem4210 4 года назад

@chief5981 3 года назад

Coach, I’m on day 14 of easy strength. Going great so far. My conundrum is that I have some adjustable dumbbells (up to 50 lb each) and 2 plates on an olympic bar (135). I am limited on equipment and limited on funds as I was unemployed for a long stent. On day 22 if the weights suddenly want to jump off of me but I do not have more weights, would increasing the first number of reps substitute for adding weight? Or do I just need to buy more weight? Basically, I’m doing 5-3-2 with over head press, would doing a 8-2 or 7-3 split work as well? Hope this makes sense. Thanks

@DanJohnStrengthCoach 3 года назад

Increasing the reps won't show true strength gains, but those numbers should increase also. Keep in mind, you don't need to perform a test to be stronger. The test just tells you that you're stronger. If the weight flies up, you're stronger, so don't worry about it.
