I didn't say it was a recommendation!
@@DanJohnStrengthCoach Too late.
Extremely insightful. You are such a wonderful teacher.
Thank you! 😃
So glad CZcams suggested this gem after about 3 years since publication. Dan John you're the Don! Hope Dave is ok.
I'm absolutely guilty of this. I did "bro splits" for years and then, miraculously, when I focused on things like pushups, pullups, deadlifts, and squats, I got stronger and had significantly less joint pain.
Appreciate this thoughtful discussion, thanks!
Thank you Mr. John! Thanks to youtube, I found your channel soon after I got into kettlebells earlier this year. I have watched so many of your videos, even the ones stretching back to 2015 and you have helped me tremendously. I agree with everything you say in this video. I have had the same mentality for years. So much so that even when I got into kettlebells, I was doing bodybuilding-style split workouts with them. I then changed them up into upper and lower kettlebell days but even that was hard to do because so much of kettlebell workouts involve multiple muscle groups. Now I do kettlebell based full-body workouts three days a week while doing a push, pull, leg split routine in the gym on the other 3 days for some variety.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you've found value in the videos.
What a great clip. Thanks.
Thanks!
Your opinion is very in-depth and detailed. Good talk Sir 👍
well said sir. I am new to your youtube videos and such as Im only starting to workout at 39 and have been bingeing yours, mark wildman and the pavel tsatsouline videos nonstop. love it,
Welcome! Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help you.
You couldn't pick 3 better trainers. 👍
Simply the best fitness advices I've heard on internet, (Because the internet is full of BS right now), Dan is a very wise man, I've heard about him watching Dr. Mcgill's podcast, since then I'm watching his videos everyday. Great work Dan!
Thank you for watching.
I was also doing bro splits for years. Then I got sick of have 2 of my body parts hurting all the time while the rest of my body was loose. I had strength but also had lower back ache. Then decided to go full body and focused on compound movements. I felt way better and still got much stronger.
Regardless of one's genetic weaknesses, most of the body can be developed just great with compound exercises, for the most part. However, there are some muscles which are harder to make grow even in those with normal or good genetics. Quads can be developed just fine by not doing much else than squat variations, even if you are weak and have shit genetics, because the squat is a movement that hits the quads very well and it is relatively easy to get strong at it. On the other hand, if you are torso dominant and have absolutely shit arms genetics, don't expect to build 18 inchers with chinups... same goes for triceps, and in general mostly upper body muscles, especially arms and delts.
For sure. I'm one of those people. Chest and back I can half ass and they grow. Arms I have to hit em hard with curls and extensions. I'm a simple trainer btw but when it comes to shoulders arms and calves, I isolate them. Kind of have to especially for arms.
really great video. How would you deal with imbalances? Suppose my left kettlebell military press is much weaker than the right. What would be the best approach to fill the gap between left and right?
Start every set with the left and match it with the right.
2:05 "Remain a virgin until 35"
LMAO!
Isolation and isometric exercise are good for rehabilitation.
Thank you Dan for that wonderful advice on financial success. The bit about staying virgin is especially valuable. Contrary to the idea people live with in this flashy world, s3x depletes and weakens the the entire organism immensely, and diffuses the energy which can otherwise be utilized in obtaining true success.
Again I cannot thank you enough for putting out valuable content about not just working out but life. Please continue sharing these with us.
On a different note, through what channels can I ask you questions?
A drop of common sense in ocean of stupidity of modern fitness
The only isolation exercises I would do is the ones for the forearms and the calves. The rest can grown naturally through compound exercises.
Even the forearms get one of hell of a workout from heavy deadlifts.
@@Dinoenthusiastguy Yeah, but for me, this is not enough. I definitely wanna have huge forearms like the ones from armwrestles.
@@Joao-ur7ey Fair
Yeah my forearms and calves lag behind as well
Is the virgin thing just for girls or.... what is he implying? Because as a guy, if what he's saying is "stay out of relationships" - then I get that. That's smart. If you're a guy.
It was a joke. The point was relationships are expensive and children are more expensive.
