Dan John: Warmups, Workouts & Barbell Complexes

Dan John: Warmups, Workouts & Barbell Complexes.

We're now set with part four of Dan's IronOnline workshop, the final DVD of the series, in which he shows us his sample warm-ups, a few workout varieties, and his famous barbell complexes. Trust me, these aren't your regular Bomber bodypart splits, although over the decades Dave's done his share of barbell rows, presses and dumbbell farmer walks, and he's probably also done our share.

One of Dan's key phrases here was, "The warm-up is the workout," and as he puts our crew through the paces, you'll see how he can make that claim! He also uses members of the audience to demonstrate new movements, or to show his corrections when we went astray. Here he uses Elke to show, as he tells the story and gives guidance on Koji squats, which I'm assuming you haven't seen before.

Dan shows his daily favorites:

• Gait Warm-up
• Goblet Squat & Bootstrapper Squat
• Hip Flexor Stretch & RDL Stretch
• Plank Series
• Horizontal Shrugs
• Maxercist and Parked Rows
• Crocodile Pushups
• Heartbeat
• Squat
• Kalos Sthenos Getup
• Ab Circuit
• Star Plank
• Barbell Complexes

A full warm-up series sample workouts, insights and more Includes pdf handouts of the sample workouts, warmups and barbell complexes And in this clip, Dan's pal Josh Vert performs the deadbug series, again with Dan at the controls.

This is a DVD you'll watch over and over for new training ideas -- from a variety in the warm-up, to quick-moving barbell complexes to several ways to make your workouts more interesting, with a selection of exercises you've never seen, Dan puts it all together to get you moving.
