In today’s episode of the breaking muscle podcast, I am joined by Dan John.
Dan is an athlete, coach, teacher, and writer. He’s been lifting weights and throwing discus for about 50 years and is still going strong in his 60s.
He’s also the author of one of my favorite books – Never Let Go: A Philosophy of Lifting, Living, And Learning.
I pick Dan’s brain to help guide you to make smart decisions about your own training, even if you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned veteran.
We cover the key assessments you can run on yourself to determine which areas need work.
He also outlines how you should train in the three main brackets of your lifting career:
Age:
- 16-35
- 35-55
- 55+
You can also find this podcast sitting on top of all my other Six Pack of Knowledge podcasts (curated discussions with the greatest hypertrophy experts on the planet).
