About this listen

You have two choices:

  1. Be lucky enough in middle school, junior high, or high school to be taught basic body movements and step-by-step instructions in the Olympic lifts, powerlifting, mobility, flexibility, kettlebell training, and tumbling
  2. Apply intervention five principles

Here are the answers, but the questions are the real keys:

Strength training for lean body mass and joint mobility work trump everything else.

  • Fundamental human movements are...fundamental.
  • Standards and gaps must be constantly assessed.
  • The notion of "park bench" and "bus bench" workouts must be applied throughout the training lifetime.
  • Constantly strive for mastery and grace.

This is the book which influenced me most in training. I have been using the system since I have the book. Not just good for training system but has useful life tips. I cant thank Dan enough for this book.

I listen to this book a couple of times a year to remind myself of all the important points in it. I have structured much of my training around advice from this book and have seen fantastic results. I’m over 40 and now stronger than in my 20s, running a sub-20 5km and under 10% body fat. Reading this book alone won’t get you there; applying it’s many nuggets of wisdom just might.

Essential reading for all who want to improve at sports
