As a reminder, Dan John is my friend and mentor. A brother really and as the moderator of this site I want to touch on a thing or two.

First, if you have a question about any of Dan's routines, diets, what-have-you, this is the place.

On the other hand, if you have a question about someone else's programs or routines it's more than likely they have a forum or website, and that would be a better choice for your questions.

Am hearing you loud and clear Dan!

Can not understand these posters (very small in number) who post questions on this public forum about programs from other fitness professionals instead of going to their websites.

Defies basic common sense!

Thank you, Dan. You are a good friend.

Rarely is the issue, by the way, with Pavel or Rip or whomever. It is their zealots (properly spelled with the lower case "z" in this case).

They go on my youtube and pull up videos from five years ago and say mostly stupid stuff...or they hit my instagram...again dated stuff so it is harder to cull.

I just deleted a few other points, but, trust me, many of the people who make these lines in the sand on fitness, strength and life online are not reflective, in real life and real time at a bar or gym, of their mouths online.

Daniel John Just handing down what I was handed down... Make a Difference. Live. Love. Laugh. Balance work, rest, play and pray (enjoy beauty and solitude) Sleep soundly. Drink Water. Eat veggies and protein. Walk. Wear your seat belt. Don’t smoke. Floss your teeth. Put weights overhead. Pick weights off the floor. Carry weights. Reread great books. Say thank you

As I've said before, I'm interested more in the overlap than the differences. One says front squat, one says low-bar back squat, another says double kettlebell front squat, still another high-bar back squat. We can argue why they say these different things, or realise that if you're squatting in some way or other then you're probably doing alright.

I know I'm getting old, because when I saw the name of this thread, I assumed it was going to be about the Prostate-Specific Antigen test. Anyway, message received here.

Why are you squatting in the curl rack?

Me too, Adam.

Be strong. Be in shape. Be a man among men, regardless of your age or circumstances.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice, there is. Just because it happened to you doesn't make it interesting.

That's a real PSA! Brilliant. And that Dick Dale-sounding guitar solo in the middle of the song is fantastic.

I saw them three nights in a row at pier 84 in NYC in 1982, right next to the Intrepid museum.

I even wore my hair in a Joe Strummer style Mohawk for a while.
