Not for the novice athlete. Definitely aimed at the seasoned weight lifter. Written in a conversational, straightforward language, John's work is accessible, and reads like a collection of blog posts (which, I believe, it is). The text does not go into any detail at all about performing the lifts (and in literally dozens of places throughout, he has laundry lists of 8-25 different lifts and variations, all without explanation of how to actually perform the lifts). You will definitely get more out of this if you know all the Olympic lifts, powerlifting moves, and the like before you pick it up. I've been a recreational weightlifter for over 10 years, and had to consult the internet several times when John referred to movements that were totally foreign to me.
There are some great pearls of wisdom throughout, but the organization makes the book difficult to use as any kind of manual for designing routines. That said, it's great if you like to stick notecards in different places, highlight/underline text, dogear pages, etc.
Perhaps most strange, the book isn't a motivational text per se, but it really does successfully motivate the reader to strive to lift harder, be stronger, and embrace all things testosterone.

Audiobook. “If it’s important, do it every day. If it’s not important, don’t do it at all.” — Dan Gable
A series of articles on barbell training, which is one of my obsessions, so I very much enjoyed Coach Dan’s epistles on the subject. Of course, this is a very topical book so it wouldn’t have mass appeal, but I liked it. Coach Dan is an old school lifter and doesn’t conceal his impatience for those not willing to put in the hard work. There’s some really great advice in here. I can’t wait to try The Big 21 and One Lift A Day.

Someone once shared with me the piece advice that you should never trust a man with two first names. Dan John is making me reconsider that particular piece of wisdom. Apparently something of a living legend in certain strength and conditioning circles, I only found him after reading a few posts of his on a random internet forum. I subsequently discovered his website, blog, and articles; I liked what I read, so I bought Never Let Go.
The book is a collection of articles, some of which were previously published online. Of course, having them in print form has a number of advantages, particularly if you haven’t read them before. I had only read one or two of them, so a lot of the material was new to me.
There is a lot of good information in here, from specific programs for developing strength, size, or endurance, to more philosophical thoughts on structuring programming, training for the long term, and evaluating the utility (or lack thereof) of certain programs. John’s background as a religious studies teacher gives him some interesting insights into the way people tend to think in regard to their strength and conditioning programs. He also has been around the block more than a few times (someone apparently made a joke about Dan John having coached Milo while he was lifting the bull), and isn’t afraid to acknowledge his failures along with his successes.
Indeed, one of the things I appreciate most about this book is that Dan John has used himself as a bit of a human guinea pig, and is willing to talk about his experiences doing so, both good and bad. I’m sure that his willingness to point out the flaws in various training programs hasn’t made him a lot of friends, but I appreciate his candor and forthrightness.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Dan John is just fun to read. One of the great difficulties in trying to learn more about strength and conditioning is that sometimes even the good information is presented badly. Dan John’s writing is clear, but it’s also engaging, and at times, insanely humorous. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much reading a strength and conditioning book (or rather, I’ve never laughed so much WITH the author, rather than AT him). Hell, even my wife found some of the parts I read aloud funny.
This book is accessible to anyone, though it’s worth noting that you can’t follow every program in this book at once. Well, you could try, but you’ll probably die. This is the kind of book you read, enjoy, and then go back and cherry-pick ideas from. Right now I’m playing with the “one lift a day” idea, though I’m not doing it exactly as outlined in the book, because of time and strength factors. There’s a lot of other stuff I’d like to play with in here too; I’m sure I’ll get to it sooner or later.
If you must trust a man with two first names, Dan John seems like a good place to start.

Two years ago, through dumb luck, I found myself training with a Dan John style personal trainer. At the age of 58, I figured I was all that, having gotten "in shape" in previous times of my life doing Nautilus, various aerobics classes, and gazillions of reps with adorable hand weights.
My trainer insisted I set goals (and not lift/tone/burn look good nekkid goals), move some heavy stuff during my workouts, and learn the big, Olympic lifts (way more complex than I imagined). He also made me rest between sets and take days off. Guess what? It worked. Now, at the age of 60, I'm more "task ready" than I've ever been in my life. Not to mention I'm moving weights I would not have even put on my bucket list two years ago and my warm-up combines a series of movements that would have previously left me curled up in an exhausted heap.
In short, do what Dan John says. Enjoy. Thank you.
My only criticism of this book is that it presents the reader with so many programs to try, that it's tempting to fall into the "do it all" trap that DJ tells you to avoid. I tagged my three favorite chapters. Three things to try for six weeks each. Then we'll see what's next.

This book is not meant to be read as a book. It's a bunch of blog posts and it's repetitive. That said, it's the first book in a long time that I want to pull some notes from and keep for reference. Dan John lifts way more than I want to, but his keep it simple style makes me want to do better with what I've got.

The basis of this book is a series of articles written by the author on T-nation, short for Testosterone nation, a pretty familiar website for fitness enthusiasts and people that want to learn the basics from the very best in general.
Seeing an introduction from Dave Draper is what convinced me to approach this book In the first place. I was expecting something similar to his type of writing, and I was somehow disappointed to see that these are only articles without a specific connection between them.
If you give this book the patience though, you will be rewarded with a humorous, but serious, approach to life and fitness. The author's trademarks that you will be learning about are the Litvinov workout, the Velocity diet, the Tabata front squat workout, and most importantly One lift a day program.
One other interesting fact is that he uses a lot of references, and personally I know that this is what I want after I finish reading a book, more material to approach. A short list of further readings is listed at the end as well, and numerous and numerous exercise examples throughout the book.
Ending this short personal review, I will leave you with the following quote, that I highlighted and enjoyed quite a bit, so you know what writing style you should be expecting: "Nearly every reader knows what to do about losing fat or gaining muscle. It’s like telling people they need to put on a seatbelt or stop smoking or floss daily. I mean, we know that, but sometimes, well, we just can’t find the floss."

I only pray that one day my kids are coached by someone as wise and brilliant as Dan John. His articles are about life and lifting, some border on spiritual without mentioning anything religious.
Now, not everything in this book is for beginners, but I would fully recommend it to anyone who uses iron as their therapist.

It's a good book on fitness and various form of lifting. Dan John is a very funny and likeable writer. He has some crazy philosophies and unorthodox training programs. His whole thing is to train outside, get rough, get crazy, try different things and not just be a gym rat benching and using cables. Although avoid long distance cardio at all cost. Lot's of inspiration here if you want to spice things up, though just steer clear of the weight-loss diets he recommends.
A quote from the book
"Front Squat for 8 reps (quality, deep reps, please) Rest exactly ten seconds Front Squat for 8 reps Rest exactly ten seconds Front Squat for 8 reps Rest exactly ten seconds Front Squat for 8 reps Rest exactly ten seconds Front Squat for 8 reps Rest exactly ten seconds Front Squat for 8 reps Rest exactly ten seconds Front Squat for 8 reps Rest exactly ten seconds Front Squat for 8 reps Now, keel over."
Another was to do 225 lbs front squat singles until you've done a hundred of them.
"Do fifteen overhead squats with only PVC. Upon completion, sprint 200 meters. Repeat three to five times, finishing with a final set of overhead squats."
"Kettlebell swings followed by a hill sprint of thirty yards seemed to leave the athlete burning oxygen for hours after the workout."
Psychopaths makes for the best trainers.
If there's one thing I've gained a defense for planks. In the debate whether planks make for six packs, Dan John makes it clear it does, because, if planks makes your squat stronger, and you squat makes six packs, then planks are good for six packs. Logic.
Dan John is also a wise guy
"People like to hear stories, usually about people."
"One of the best ways to expand your active reading skills is to read the opposite of what you tend to think."

It is a philosophy of lifting, living, and learning. Lifting heavy weights can teach you a lot about yourself.
It will force you to look inward to find strength. During this inward gaze, one will also see many other things. Dan John, as I previously mentioned on my blog, is the quintessential academic strongman.
He is a religious studies teacher that sits on fitness centered panels with sport scientists and PhDs. Incredibly, many times the audience mostly wants to hear him talk. He has the unique ability to make the complex simple and to make the simple even simpler. He has over 30 years of empirical evidence as a lifelong competitive athlete and is undisputed in templating unconventional methods for real world results. For example, consider this paradigm shift: if it's important, do it everyday.
This is great book for any fitness enthusiast, seasoned or beginner. It will help shape the way you think about training and lifting in general, providing some baseline principles for a lifetime of fitness and excellence.
Some of the stuff that I liked: training with a slosh pipe, the velocity diet aka an all-out assault of fat loss, sled dragging, overhead lifting, the Litinov workout, and using warmups to help build quality reps. All simple, yet revolutionary ideas.

I was given this book by a power lifter friend of mine. We talked a lot about fitness when we were hanging out and when he moved away, he thought I would enjoy the book. It really was interesting with lots of discussions about different fitness programs, diets, etc. I got a lot from it. One of my favorite things was "If it is important, do it every day. " That actually pertains to all aspects of life and I am fully embracing this. I also think I may do the one lift a day option occasionally to change things up. I guess this was a book of essays written by the author. When I was looking something up, I found one of the chapters online.

Dan John isn’t your average fitness guru talking about six-packs or calorie counting. He cuts straight to the chase and explains, with humor, how you can improve your training and nutrition routines today. No magic pills. No big secrets. Just straight forward methods that, if you follow them, can help you increase your strength and muscle mass. Dan John will supply you with the knowledge and experience. In return, he expects two things: dedication and hard work.

Very simple, very to the point. I really appreciated this book. I enjoyed his look on life and the fact that the KISS treatment is best in many if not all situations. It was no nonsense, practical and I really appreciated the suggested reading portion. However I am disappointed that many books may be out of print or hard to get. I am searching already for some books and have only found a few. Guess I will have to search in some used book stores...oh no!;))
October 2, 2022
When it comes to fitness, weight training and athletic performance Dan John sits at the top of the heap. As an Olympic Lifter, Collegiate Discus competitor, kettlebell master and so much more. He brings experience and great teaching methods. If you are new to kettlebell or Olympic lifting or you are an experienced athlete in any sport you should read and follow Dan John

I read this book just after finishing high school and honestly, I really wish I had read it sooner (although I may not have understood it all). Dan is a great story teller and the principles learned in this book have stayed with me since the first reading. The cover alone changed the way I train.
October 5, 2022
The audiobook was voiced by Steven Oswalt who really sold the idea of sitting down with a great coach who seen and done it all. Dan gives some great advice and I liked his focus on common sense mixed with some dry humor.
February 25, 2024
Didn’t finish it because the first few stories about trying bizarre weight loss plans and training for athletic competitions and living on protein shakes were not relatable or relevant for my lifestyle. The conversational tone was ok. May be worth returning to this book when I’m over 40 yrs old.

Brilliant book. I'd recommend it to anybody looking to get fit as a way of life! Look forward to reading more of Dan's books.

It's not a book, it's a collection of blog posts / articles.
It's full of cheesy jokes and a style equivalent of "cosmopolitan for lifters" i.e. lots of irrelevant stories.

Collection of blog posts from Dan John.
As such there is no clear central narrative joining everything, more of overarching themes that get repeated here and there (least he's consistent).
But he's a humorous writer.
The biggest value of a personal trainer is someone else's will replacing your will.
3 options to make better choices:
1: Be proactive and try to find someone or some way to cut back on the options, all those deadly choices and decisions.. especially in nutrition and training.
2:Bring everyone on board to keep you accountable.
3: Trim the fat. The distractions.
"I have lost my faith." The priest asks how, and she answers, "Bit by bit." That is exactly how it is with fat gain; you get fat bit by bit.
Diet is basically making good food choices. Preferably in advance, so you won't cave and take the easy way out.
Eat a fistful of protein at every meal.
Beware advice from somebody who doesn't put the advice into practice.
The original meaning of Passion was to suffer for love.
Ensure your life has a balance of work, rest, play and pray (alone time). When one (usually work) increases, make sure not to neglect the others.
The follow up question is one of those odd little things that brings clarity.
Practice is practice, warm up is warm up. You gotta do it in competition. (Peak when it counts)
When things go bad, simplify. If not how are you going to start to figure out what went wrong?
"I'm lucky I didn't have any questions when I met these guys, or I wouldn't have gotten the right answers."
If it's important, do it everyday. If it's not , don't do it at all.
If you play in a another person's game, you might get whipped simply because they have had more time in the saddle.
The older athlete has 4 advantages: Past experiences, your vision of the future, your spending power, and your sense of focus (less choices) to go beyond what you thought was possible.
It's just a workout. No need to complicate things.
The warm-up is the workout.
If stuck, consider these 3 possibilities:
-You might have been doing it wrong since the first time you tried something. You've simply been repeating 'wrong'.
-You might be doing something right, but at such low intensity you should consider not doing it anymore.
-You might think you're advanced and able to skip the beginning steps, but in reality you're just beginning.
The problem is yes, everything works. Doing everything at once makes you marginal at everything, at best.
I couldn't possibly explain to that 12-year old Danny John the challenges ahead. He needed, like the rest of us, the journey.
Beware of studies showing untrained people getting stronger, anything help the untrained.
CNS fatigue test: finger tapping speed.
Moderation is not good in training, don't let your highs be too low and your lows be too high. Periodise.
Always choose intensity over volume.
Routinised jogging is factory work, not natural activity.
To be a good coach: "You can't get bored watching the basics."
The great leap of understanding generational influence is to tie what you expect to be rewarded into your goal-setting process.
Should:
The person accepts the issue, then lets it slide past him as he reaches for the chips and remote.
Could:
Includes the belief and knowledge one might possibly be successful in taking these steps.
Must:
There is no other choice.
A bookstore is a 'smarter than you' store. To walk into a bookstore is to admit there's something you don't know. And the worst part is you don't even know where it is. You have to ask: "Where is this? Where is that?" Not only do I lack knowledge, I don't even know where to get it!
When people come to me for training advice, I pray they leave with an appreciation for detail, an understanding of the need for balance in life and sport and the importance of community.
Many times I found myself merely walking with my athletes, because most of the time all we need is a companion for the journey.
