Dan John has spent his life with one foot in the world of lifting and throwing, and the other foot in academia. An All-American discus thrower, Dan has also competed at the highest levels of Olympic lifting, Highland Games and the Weight Pentathlon, an event in which he holds the American record.
Dan spends his work life blending weekly workshops and lectures with full-time writing, and is also an online religious studies instructor for Columbia College of Missouri. As a Fulbright Scholar, he toured the Middle East exploring the foundations of religious education systems. Dan is also a Senior Lecturer for St Mary’s University, Twickenham, London.
His books, on weightlifting, include Intervention, Never Let Go, Mass Made Simple and Easy Strength, written with Pavel Tsatsouline as well as From Dad, To Grad. He and Josh Hillis co-authored “Fat Loss Happens on Monday.”
In 2015, Dan wrote Can You Go? on his approach to assessments and basic training. In addition, Before We Go, another compilation akin to Never Let Go became an Amazon Bestseller.
In early 2017, Dan’s book, Now What?, his approach to Performance and dealing with “life,” became a Bestseller on Amazon. Hardstyle Kettlebell Challenge became available in September 2017, too.

Complex's are great but it is pure heaven putting that bar down.

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Yes. That's always a relief.

[@sebastianzornosa9953]

Thanks for the info Dan! How would you program them? After strength work? As strength work? 3-4 times/week?

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

They can be part of the strength session, but I often use them for warm up daily.

[@crayzmarc]

Totally know where you're coming from regarding needing it written down to read somewhere in front of you. Otherwise when you're too in the zone you can just forget.

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

Very true

Dan, I have been doing the ABC complex regularly and is quite happy with the results. 25 sets with thr doubel 20's and 15 sets with the double 28's. Just want to know your opinion on throwing in some straight sets in a week, like 75 front squats 50 cleans and 25 presses as straight sets. Going to do one and see how it goes. Will be nice to hear your take on this

[@DanJohnStrengthCoach]

You have to do the math...weekly that's a LOT of squats. It might be fine, but I push the press on those "other days" as their numbers are lagging behind the squat. So, yes...but think it through.

@@DanJohnStrengthCoach yes coach.. what I'm planning is to substitute one session of 25 sets with the straight sets and see the difference. So basically its the same volume. I will update you on that, once I do it..meanwhile ABC is again and again proving to be the perfect KB complex ever designed. I will never ever change anything about it... So much appreciated. I'm doing ABC complex twice on one week and once the next week.. alternating between the 20's and 28's.
