All (past) convention footage will be on Youtube in full within the next few days. I know a lot of TDL readers liked this speech. Enjoy first, share second.
– Anthony Dream Johnson
ps — I still find it fascinating that Doug, Bill, and Mark spoke the following year — the authors of the books I recommended so highly in this video. The quote “I make my own luck” comes to mind.

I’m not a salesman, so interpret this as an announcement — not a sales pitch, which I am not capable of.
Dream Vitality is a 12 week coaching program I started back in August. Essentially, over the course of 12 weeks, you and I work to overhaul your exercise, dietary, and other health habits.
You have 12 weeks to pick my brain — mostly via e-mail, and a bit of phone as well.
I have 12 weeks to cram your head with knowledge that’s taken me over 2 years to find, interpret, and understand.
During this time I create a custom workout routine for you — based on available equipment and any specific needs — and provide private demonstration videos when applicable.
I also critique up to 6 video workouts of yours.
Minus videos of you chowing down, the same applies for a nutrition plan. (You’re welcome to send me videos of you eating, but I will not be…
I used to squat. Not anymore.
Check out my interview with Bill here and the follow up on Conditioning Research.
There is also a very old interview with Bill from none other than Doug McGuff MD here.
This is titled a “mini review” since it is (A) not a full review, and (B) my thoughts on the book as the content applies to me and me only.
First things first, I have enjoyed the book very much. Tim is the ultimate geek for the human body, and this monster of a book proves it.
Second, I found the following chapters and ideas most useful. The rest I either didn’t care about, or simply disagreed with [disclaimer for those who haven't bought it yet: Tim knew many of his readers would be in the same boat before publishing the book, so far as I am aware].
In this 20 minute excerpt Doug discusses…
and much more.
The full speech is ~90 minutes in length. See Mark Sisson’s ~20 minute preview here, exclusive to The21Convention.com, and Drew Baye’s 2010 preview here.
I haven’t performed an overhead press in some time. Bill gets at why in this video, then cracks a walnut. Sounds funny, but not surprisingly, it’s a crystal clear explanation.
This is the first clip ever shown publicly for The 21 Convention 2010 of Orlando Florida. Why I chose this clip first is revealed in the video.
You should also check out Patrick Diver on local news in Orlando. The guy interviewing him is totally clueless on all subjects mentioned. Patrick handles himself very well IMO.
Patrick Diver is veteran personal trainer based in Orlando Florida, long time friend, and exercise mentor. As I’ve mentioned on this blog before, were it not for Patrick, I’d still be running half marathons, working out 7 days a week, 1-3 hours a day, and feeling like dog shit the entire time.
Patrick is solely responsible for introducing me to Body by Science, a book that profoundly changed my life, and ended up leading to some really great things.
Patrick is also responsible for introducing me to another, very influential book, Moment Arm Exercise.
More than that though, Patrick is a thought leader, that is in my opinion, ready to spear-head proper exercise in his own way.
At least, that’s what I’ve been telling him for the past few years while pushing him to blog =). Speaking of which, here is his first blog post, originally posted on his blog at PatrickDiver.Blogspot.com
I love to spread the good word. With a website called Fitnessgod.com, it only makes sense, right? …
As most of you know, I started living the nomad life just a few months ago. Below is a message I received just before heading to Los Angeles.
Hey Anthony-
Are you just going to be in LA or are you going other places. I’m in Fresno, which is midway between LA and San Fran. If you end up here. You’re welcome to crash out at my pad for a day or two. I’m next to a starbucks and a gym and I’d love to do a HIT with you. (wow that sounds gay haha).
Anyhow, it’s the least I could do because I’ve lost 80 lbs with your advice on diet and HIT.
-Gary K.
I share this because I was awestruck when I read it: someone lost 80 pounds of body fat simply by reading and applying the content of my blog?
Holy ****.
While this is an inspirational example of success in applying the right principles to your physical and dietary habits … it is also an extreme example…
This is the video of a workout I performed yesterday in Austin Texas at Efficient Exercise under the supervision of Skyler Tanner. The workout consisted of
I did not do anything direct for my legs this workout since Keith Norris put me through the most intense leg workout of my life on Monday (which included, as a finishing touch, 3 leg press “hyper reps” on an older, horizontal plane CZT machine).
That leg workout alone left me sprawled out on the floor for a solid 30 minutes – something that’s never happened to me before my entire life. It has also left my legs “tender”,…
