The Dan John Podcast

This was an especially fun episode because I give you a little preview of the upcoming course called The Art of Coaching at danjohnuniversity.com. This preview is on the topic of binary thinking. There's more to it than what I give you here, but it's a nice taste. As always, I get into your questions as well. This week, they include topics like starting training at 47, outside or farmer's swings, doing swings for lent, landmine pressing for new lifters, kettlebell standards, dealing with a 12 year old, and the current state of physical education in America. I hope you enjoy.As always, thanks for listening!---Have a question? Send it to podcast@danjohnuniversity.com[Dan John University](www.danjohnuniversity.com)

This week they cover what I was like as a coach at 38, lessons from fictional movies and books, recommendations for CrossFitters, increasing quickness and explosiveness, training explosiveness without the Olympic lifts, measured rest periods on the Southwood program, full vs. power Olympic lifts, training post pregnancy, what I mean by hypertrophy, and getting back to taekwondo after a total hip replacement.As always, thanks for listening!---Have a question?
