40 Years of Insight by Dan John

40 Years of Insight, sales Part 1 by Dan John.  I am still waiting for Part 2.  Dan John is a strength training coach in the mold of Mark Rippetoe: smart, old school, no nonsense, committed and totally aware there is no substitute for hard work.  I hope I can be like Dan John when I grow up.  I have posted this article before, but I just re-read it, and I wanted to share.  Quick note: the photos from page 1 are from the 2009 CrossFit Games NorCal Regionals, which I competed in.  CrossFit, on the side of a mountain, in the mud and rain.  Aromas, baby!
Please post your favorite insight to the Facebook page.
