Dan John is a strength and conditioning specialist. He trains elite level athletes, and has worked extensively with the Special Forces of various military branches.

He has a list of tips for athletes:
  1. Use whole-body lifts; rarely isolate a muscle.
  2. Constantly strive to add weight to the bar, and move it faster.
  3. The best anabolic is water.
  4. Did you eat breakfast? If not, don't ask me anything about nutrition.
  5. If you smoke or don't wear your seat belt, please don't tell me the quick lifts are dangerous.
  6. Go heavy, go hard.
  7. Keep it simple. Less is more.
  8. You have to put the bar over your head.
  9. Put the bar on the ground and pick it up a bunch of different ways.
  10. Know and love the roots of your sport.
