Dan John's issue with dual snatches???

[loves2readya]

@barronkanetaylor Stopped listening to him concerning kbs long ago

 

[barronkanetaylor]

@loves2readya That seems to be the trend among the strongest people participating in this thread! I've seen your lifting videos btw, very impressive!

 

[loves2readya]

@barronkanetaylor Thanks. I've got more to say but I'll leave it for another time

@barronkanetaylor A lot of y'all are missing a distinction: Dan doesn't like heavy double snatches and heavy TGUs.

@faithinmet From my understanding, he doesn't like heavy TGUs and any double snatches. Here are some references from his podcast on YouTube:

Heavy Turkish Getups:

(1)

(2)

He does caveat heavy TGU's in the first clip where he gives a bit more nuanced position on them.

Double Snatches:

(1)

(2)

@barronkanetaylor The YouTube and social media algorithms shamefully reward that kind of 'influencer' behavior. He doesn't actually believe dual snatches are dangerous. He makes the same claims about thrusters. But that kind of clickbait is profitable.

He's a businessman targeting the ever growing demographic of people who want an excuse not to workout too hard.

@jwilson757 Bingo, thank you! Of course you're getting downvoted.

@barronkanetaylor Dan John, the Mark Rippetoe of kettlebells.

 

[monstershouter]

@uffer I believe that would actually be Pavel

@barronkanetaylor Replied to a comment below as well, but if you slightly miss the catch with one kettlebell you have the option of moving your body or bending slightly and centering the shoulder below the kettlebell.

With two kettlebells, of course, you would end up compromising the other.

Dropping the kettlebells on your head is hyperbole, but if you mess up the catch and try to correct and you got two heavy things in positions where you can't physically hold them, there is a suddenly a lot going on. With light enough weights this is not an issue as you can usually muscle them to a position where you can hold them.

@stars_andwonder OMG stop, he's just trying to scare people away from other people's programming. Nobody who's ever competed in weightlifting and used kettlebells genuinely believes snatching 2 kb's is more dangerous than heavy OHS or full barbell snatches.

@barronkanetaylor They're not as useful for what he does nor what his athletes and clients train for.

GS doesn't do dbl kb ohs nor dbl kb snatches either.

How about KB Pentathlon?

Anyone ever caught the Utah Seminar dvd set from a ways back? "Talking" about TGUs

Getting a lot of Sport of Fitness vibes popping up in this thread too.
