My 2 favorite teachers in my training journey. I have been watching and keeping up with both you guys since I was in 7th grade. I am going into junior year of college now with aspirations of going into law school for post-grad. I still train to this day and have been able to achieve some impressive things because of you guys. John inspired me to get exercise science books like science and practice of strength training, periodization, supertraining, etc. etc. I literally used to read the old jump science articles in class everyday. On my 16th birthday I got a squat rack so I could build strenght and skipped my birthday dinner to go sprint and bound XD. Very grateful for you two, keep on teaching.
I'm definitely more inclined towards the polarized approach, i.e. emphasizing opposite ends of the force velocity continuum for developing strength, speed and power. But I definitely think that there is something to be said about using olympic lifts to eke out marginal gains in SSC ability without the structural damage imposed by plyos and sprinting. Viewed from the lens of endurance sports, I'd say olympic lifts are analagous to zone 2 training - they allow you to rack up volume which builds robustness and the ability to handle more plyo and sprinting volume.
I really appreciate this video because it reaffirmed for me that I can make major gains on my vertical without needing to Olympic lift. John was joking lightheartedly about it hurting wrists, but for real that's literally why I can't do it. My wrist is too fucked to do the catch. I can pull but the catch is just absolutely deadly especially if I make even a slight mistake. I really thank you both for making this video cause I was legit concerned that my lack of power cleaning would hold me back from getting to 40 inch.
Hella questions I had were answered I had from watching, learning and observing from both of you guys over the years. Noticed the whole power clean difference between both of you guys wayy back but it’s great you guys had this discussion as in my opinion you guys are at the top of the game when it comes to getting more athletic and all the categories that come with that term. Great video!
ha ha i'm sorry i interrupted and you guys had to move! really enjoyed this conversation! we definitely got to do a Q & A with you guys at camp next year!

An incredible discussion. You guys are an incredible resource for the community

This is an INSTANT follow. Great topic and discussion. I cannot wait for the next one!
look at Dan and John man, so inspirational
Bring in Will Rattle to the conversation. That would be super interesting
Will is a friend, but idk if either one of us is interested in discussing this topic
We need you 2 talking more! Great stuff :)

Power Clean, Full Clean, Power Snatch, Full Snatch, Split Jerk. I like it all!
hearing upper back rounding on deadlift made me like 👀 (this is me)
Literally thought of you while I was saying it
What’s your opinion on programming both the sprints,plyos,jumps and olys? Is it too much to have them all?
Not too much, very doable
What is your take away from this Dan?
