Thank you Tim! Episode 2 with Dan John was excellent and this took it up way more more than a notch. You weren't kidding about taking notes. High value info.
Thank you Tim! I was very fortunate to be on Team Dan John at my RKC kettlebell certification. I think that Dan is a world-class coach and a world- class person. I really enjoyed this BodCast.
What you have discovered is farmer strength. I had been lifting a couple years and had a little wrestling contest with a farmer. He was around the same weight and I couldn’t budge him in any way. I was just dumbfounded!
Dan and Pavel are my heroes, yet I'm impressed they don't necessarily agree. Dan is not a fan of Simple and Sinister, but it is Pavels latest. Yet they write a book together.
What, in your experience, has lead you to prefer the rack pull over the conventional deadlift within the context of the 40 day program? Thanks, great interview.
I have a few reasons but the most important one for me is that the rack pull is invigorating - it seems to add life and an overall good feeling to the body. Where as pulling from the floor does not. My personal experience - mind you. I’m not saying it does that for everyone. Though it would be neat to run everyone through some tests to find out. Another reason would be that the taller person (not that I’m tall) wouldn’t need the bar to be set at the same height as a 4’5” tall person. Tall people should probably raise it up a few inches or so. And thank you for listening!
With the pandemic and more free time on my hands, I'm trying to make my workouts longer. Would it be counter-productive to do more 15-20 reps to get more practice and spend time doing something I enjoy? If not, how would you spend more extra time? For example, I want to spend about 2 hours per training session.
Well, I guess you could, but it would no longer be “easy strength” as Dan has laid it out. And, depending on what you do, there would be a neurological toll. Now, if you keep it to bodyweight only, well, you could probably really up the reps. But if you are looking for 2 hours of work, even bodyweight training everyday at high reps seems like that may not end well. What if you “trained” and then found a physical hobby (other than lifting) to do? Like bike riding or hiking or something. If thats not an option, I think an old school bodybuilding approach may be better - dividing body parts or skills by days. Easy strength, as Dan lays out, is literally like a 10 to 15 minute deal that leaves the body refreshed and never taxes it. Wish I could be more helpful.
Original Strength thanks for the comment- what you said make sense. I may just add a body part for hypertrophy at the end of the session and leave happy with that .
Original Strength thanks! I found them! I think I was confused from the older episodes on iTunes that showed up as ‘season 10’ above these in the line up.
I know that’s a while thought for some an impossible thought for others but a way of life for some also. Everyone is different. I think the thing is to find the way and the path that works for the individual. 101.75 ways to skin a cat.

That’s so great to hear, Monte! So glad it was useful.
Awesome! Loved it. More you and Dan John!
Glad it was useful, Greg!

Does Rkc certification still happen?
Thanks, Dave! Dan is amazing. Such a great teacher and leader. He is refreshing.
It does still happen!
This was a great conversation. There is a lot to learn and implement here.
Thanks for listening, Andrei! So glad it was useful!
@@OriginalStrengthSystem Always enjoy learning from you, Tim! A person can learn a lot in 40 days.
I love Dan's pragmatic approach to strength training
He’s a genius!

Dan, do you realize, explaining the 40 days your waving your hands?
I'm loving Easy Strength & recommending it to everyone.
He’s animated! And to me, Easy Strength is the “Long Game” approach to health.
Please someone does an interview to Tim Anderson, the one mile crawl and the kb test are two mandatory questions
I've watched his one mile spider crawl, amazing.
Aleks Salkin did it! th-cam.com/video/eHKzIcMxI4w/w-d-xo.html
ES is a masterpiece! It's amazing that's it's not mainstream like 3x12 3 days a week for bodybuilding.
It is a masterpiece for sure. It’s too simple to be mainstream though. ;)
Thanks for this.
Dan and Pavel are my heroes, yet I'm impressed they don't necessarily agree. Dan is not a fan of Simple and Sinister, but it is Pavels latest. Yet they write a book together.
It's refreshing with people with differing opinions can respect each other and also move forward together to create good things.
They're both great. Dan seems to be less hype. FWIW I'm pretty sure they wrote the ES before S&S and the RKC split.

These are great. Would you consider putting the audio on iTunes podcasts? I think there an old OS podcast. I listen while driving.
Thanks so much. This is available on iTunes as well. And Spotify
Original Strength thanks! I found them! I think I was confused from the older episodes on iTunes that showed up as ‘season 10’ above these in the line up.
Oh! Well that’s odd, but glad you found them!
HIT Typing would be a funny SNL skit.
Tim, you talk just like the guy from the PictureFit channel
Hey thanks. I just checked out their channel.
Dan is a lousy wingman 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, but who wants to lift everyday.
