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.

Great video Dan. I’ll just go walk away with a KB overhead now. Catch ya later...
Never a bad idea.
I did both RKC and SFG certs and struggled with the snatch test. Why? I was 143 lbs at the time and was trying to follow a rep scheme that people 200 lbs were following - we used the same size bell, which has since changed. I got a great piece of advice from a long-time instructor to change my rep scheme. Next time I tested, using their advice, I crushed it. Moral of the story is to echo Dan. Don't back out if you can't complete the snatch test. Good team leaders and assistants at either cert will coach you through.

I have no idea...
This was great. I'm prepping for the RKC with you I'm May. I can pass the snatch test in the appropriate amount of time.. My concern is the lockout of the elbows. I have a bone piece in one elbow that prevents full lockout and I tore my tricep a year and a half ago on the other side. Is there any way to see if my "lockout" is sufficient?
Unless your team leader is a total ass, you should be fine. I always let injured people work around everything. Part of being a good coach is working WITH people.
Great video. Thanks Dan. Loving just diving back into your previous vids as you are a fountain of knowledge. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
Thank you, I did...that's an older video.
Amazing thanks!
