Dan I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been a person who has chased so many different things in the world of fitness that I have been getting in my own way for so long. Just doing your push, pull, hinge, squat, loaded carry and focusing on the quadrants has helped me narrow down simple things that make fitness less confusing. I am not always hurt and I feel like my training now improves my life instead of hindering it. After all I have a grandsons wedding to dance at. Also the goblet squat, half kneeling press, hanging, swings and suitcase carry is my go to
@@DanJohnStrengthCoach Hello, Thank You for a user friendly and inspiring workout. Can you provide the name of the big blue rubber band and other that you use as part of the workout. Brand, website anything would be great. Regards James.
What a wonderful home gym, and neighborhood. You are a blessed man, Dan. Thanks for all the information you've been putting out since I was a teenager.
Alternating Goblet Squat/Dowel Overhead Squat is an eye and mind opening concept. I do technique bar & plate Overhead Squats often to maintain the movement pattern for which I struggled. The dowel will let me do the OHS even more often. Thank you Dan.
Your content (both books, videos, and your workshops I’ve attended) have been huge. I’ve been involved in either a collision sport or collision occupation since age 14. Now at 35 I’ve already had back and hip operations. To the extent that I follow your principles, I experience success and stay healthy. To the extent I ignore them and chase numbers and try dumb s***, I suffer. I think that’s called a clue but I’ve always been a slow learner 😂 But honestly, your material and ideas are gold, thank you for all of it!
Dan, so, so good and thanks for lending your expertise to the garage workout. Your experience and authentic character matching the intellectual application makes your workouts so believable 👍
I just did this for the first time and loved it. I like how it is infinitely scalable to your abilities and equipment. I dont have a pull up bar or glute bench so I subbed lying down leg raises and did the glute burn out with the glute band and sandbags decreasing in weight. Threw in 10 sets of 10 kb swings to finish out in under 30min. This will go in my regular routine. Thank you.
Absolutely awesome workout 💪🏾. Currently at my parents' house and they have a homegym with most of the equipment in this video (minus the glutebench😅), but will definitely be doing this workout later. I signed up to your website and am currently doing Easy Strength for weightlifting, which is doing its job. I am one of those "weird" people that think paying for your books and videos is the actual done thing and must admit to getting somewhat pissed off at people expecting stuff for free, especially considering HOW much you actually give out free of charge. Thank you for all the outstanding content, books and videos you've produced over the years🙏🏽.
What I found useful was the breathing. A good indication that I’m not exerting myself enough in workouts. I’m disappointed not to see heavy get-ups, mind😀 Such great free content. Thanks coach👍
In the event that I don’t have the Brett Contreras glute set-up would I be better just doing floor hip thrusts, kettlebell swings, or something else? Great videos, great podcasts!
Nice, I think I will shamelessly steal the Goblet Squat Curl Stick Shoulder Dislocation 😂 - there has to be a shorter name for that. Maybe GSCSSD ? Greetings from Hamburg Yours Frank
So good. Your content is huge inspiration and motivator. Its always a joy to see real examples of timefriendly and smart routines. Thank you! :) I try my best to train atleast 20mins each day. Started with 10 minutes of jumprope and lately added 10 minutes of armour building inspired kettlebell + abwheel, reps starting every minute. Just something to keep consistent. When i have more time i carry the bell over to an outdoor gym down the street, do some hanging there and then bring the bell back with other arm. Also trying to walk atleast 20miles weekly. Tomorrow its my first month down since i added the kettlebell into my routine and i am already starting to feel boost in strenght and general energy levels. Maybe even getting bit slimmer.
This is what people need. No filler. No bullshit. There are so many variations you could do on this. No glute machine? No problem. Floor, with bands. Heavy KB hold above head and even roll outs as a secondary. That’s just one! Much love Dan. Thanks for this!
@@DanJohnStrengthCoach yes Dan it’s Jay!!! Your podcasts, books and videos always brighten my day and make me a better Coach😊 Looking forward to seeing you in person!!!
I love the variety and creativity of this workout! And I love that you respond to everybody's comment or question! Speaking of questions-I'm a huge fan of minimalist footwear and the black shoes you have on look minimal footwear.. What brand of shoe is that? And is it minimal? Thanks Dan!
@@DanJohnStrengthCoach Minimal distance between the bottom of our foot and the ground. Yes I have tried that brand from Amazon and unfortunately their larger size is still tight on my foot. Thanks for your response Dan and thanks for your great content! I'd rather thank you though with purchasing one of your books. Where do I find a list of your materials?
Thorough/efficient! By the way I cherish my copy of Easy Strength. Instead of hanging leg raises I’d argue toes to bar would be more bang for your buck with the extra lat work involved- sure have a pause between each rep to get that beautiful hanging stretch. Please, Dan, how much advantage do you see to hip thrusts with the band resistance across your waist vs adding weight via dumbbell or barbell to hip thrusts? Lol what I’m really meaning is do I have to purchase Bret’s hip thrust device? I suppose an alternative set up would be hip thrusts with the back on a bench and place heavy dumbbells on each side of the person’s hips and wrap the band around the dumbbells.
Dan John - thank you for putting out great information and insight for aging athletes, adults and those in pursuit of health, strength, durability and availability. What would you recommend on top of/in addition to “ the perfect workout?” I have time for more, +/- 30 minutes 5xweek. I’m curious what you would recommend for a healthy, formerly strong 45 year old man. I train in my garage, our equipment : lots of kb’s, sandbags/stones, assorted heavy objects, dumbbells, barbells/weights bumpers and iron plates, sleds, bench, no squat rack. Thanks in advance!
This can go a million directions, but I would just start with a walk after at first. then move to loaded carries (beyond the suitcase carry), and then see if you can get some sleds in. It's a great workout but it does need more "stuff."
Great workout format. Very functional. I was wondering... How much do those kettlebells weigh? The ones used for presses, squats and carries. Thank you.
Hi Dan, a good workout demonstration. In my opinion, the kettlebell looked a bit too close to the car when you went for a walk :) I'd also like to say I've bought many of your books, and I really enjoy the way you write in them.
I’ve seen the banded hip thrusts in other videos (sorry, I’m unfamiliar with their actual name). Am I correct in assuming you’ve grown to prefer these to kettlebell swings?
No. I like these because I can "go for the burn" on my glutes. Remember, I have had surgeries on my hips so I need some specific work here...and they are easy to teach.
Just discovered your channel and completed my first armor complex this week, 10 rounds at 1 minute. Subscribed. Can I substitute glute ham raises on GHD or reverse hypers for hip thrusts? They all seem to work the posterior chain. Thank you.
That red glute station be great if doubled as a nordic hamstring station as well. What do you think of those sissy sqat stations that pad below and back of the knees? Thank you.
@@DanJohnStrengthCoach Thanks. And also many thanks for your content and wisdom. I've read several of your books (actually paid money for them! :) ), read many of your articles, newsletters, watched videos, etc for about a decade now. You don't know me, and we'll probably never meet, but you've had a big impact on my fitness journey. Thank you.
Love the way i feel after this program. I would love to do this as an Easy Strength routine -- would you recommend adjusting the rep scheme to something closer to ES or would this work as a daily program? Thank you!
After 40 days of Perfect Workout Easy Strength I feel incredible! I adjusted the presses and hanging knee raises to 2x5 and kept the rep scheme for the lower body work. Going into the summer I'm planning on keeping this workout once a week and having another workout a week consisting of some chins and hill sprints.
I've done it up to four times in a week (just testing it), but three is pretty doable for a while. The upside is that you can easily do this in fifteen minutes, so it might work great with a long walk after it.
@@DanJohnStrengthCoach the perfect workout as written for 4-6 weeks. Then move to a one lift a day program but with the same exercises from the perfect workout to add volume. The same but different concept.
@@DanJohnStrengthCoach this is what I’m thinking for the one lift a day, warm-up 1x10 of the other exercises not being used as the one lift. The one lift exercise I’ll use a 5,3,2 ladder x 5 rounds. I won’t program a carry for a one lift day, I’m going to just do some form of a loaded carry at the end of each workout.
which exercise takes care of your pull? the overhead strap when doing hip thrusts? If so doesn't that egave the chest abs more when arems are closed vs. wider hold lats/abs?
Would it be okay to do this after work 5 days per week? A bit about me. Im a busy dad, i work nights, i cycle to and from work (5miles per day 5 days per week) i work a physical job loading groceries onto delivery vans and i train/teach karate 4 times per week. I also walk to pick up my son from school everyday and walk my dogs for 1hr every day. Would this workout compliment the lifestyle i have just described or is it too much? I am 33 and my goal is not to necessarily to gain strength/performance or chase numbers, i just want to be able to keep up my lifestyle for as long as i can, and stave off father time long into the future. Many thanks in advance for any and all advice!
I think so. I prefer doing it three days a week, but you could certainly do it as many times as you like. Or even play around with the movements and the order.
I’ve always thought that the clean and the snatch and even the dead lift or really excellent pole variations. In my new book, I make this point much clearer.
Hi ! How to substitute the double banded hip bridge ? Cause it requires too much equipment that i dont have. Also how many Times per week you recommand to do this workout ? ( Im also boxing once a week and playin tennis once a week ) Im 32. Thanks. Love your work Dan.
Hey, what a great workout. Thank you. I started as a routine right after I saw the video and I am into it for now 12 days (incl. 2 rest days). Just a quick question with regards to strength building: How comes there are so many reps for the presses in the first workout? In Easy Strength you suggested not more than ten reps per exercise. Is that because this perfect workout has other goals than strength building?
It blends just about everybody in the business...Delorme's reps, the Kauai Studies hangs, Brett's Hip stuff, Stu's insight on the suitcase carries and my other stuff. It's NOT an Easy Strength program, but it is in the same basic idea.
And alpine climbers, too. Not so much any more, but twenty years ago, I really had some interesting conversations with them. (Death is real in this sport...)
@@shawncowan1075 I discuss this in multiple articles...and my books. It's simple to find all of this with a google search. The suitcase carry is probably the best exercise for kickers, throwers, and strikers...the FW is great for work capacity. You have to do them to appreciate any of this.
I've answered this a LOT of times! I broke the end of my elbow off playing American football (a great sport). So...I do what I can. When I compete, I lock out (obviously) but it is an uphill battle. I appreciate you seeking out my faults; I used to have a friend who specialized in this.
@@DanJohnStrengthCoach thank you. I didn‘t want to seek your faults, I just thought there was a reason for not pushing the arm too far (technical). I appreciate your videos and your never ending tipps and guidance. Thank you very much!
Hello Dan, great content as usual! Check out Ben Pakulsky's Muscle Intelligence Podcast, he coveres many of the topics that you talk about on your great channel. It is never bad to be inspired by other experts!

Great win last night.
Zou are wearing barefoot shoes? Which model?
No...Whitins.
Why don‘t you press the bell all the way up and stop about 3/4 of your ROM?
I've answered this a LOT of times! I broke the end of my elbow off playing American football (a great sport). So...I do what I can. When I compete, I lock out (obviously) but it is an uphill battle. I appreciate you seeking out my faults; I used to have a friend who specialized in this.
@@DanJohnStrengthCoach "used to"
@@DanJohnStrengthCoach thank you. I didn‘t want to seek your faults, I just thought there was a reason for not pushing the arm too far (technical). I appreciate your videos and your never ending tipps and guidance. Thank you very much!
What does coach Dan shoes wearing? Does anyone know?
Winders

You have socks or shoes on?
Perfect workout???
Maybe, but will it go round in circles?
I have no idea what this means, sorry.

how heavy a kettle bell, just out of interest
Learn about nose breathing Dan. More O2 in. Better than mouth breathing
Yeah, this is why you see all elite athletes doing their sport with closed mouths. /s
I'm amazed that you assume Dan John hasn't "learned about" nose breathing.
Yeah, DAN JOHN needs to learn about nose breathing. . .
