What happens when life throws curveballs at your fitness routine? After a months-long hiatus, we're back to share our raw, unfiltered experiences with injury, recovery, and the mental challenges that come with physical setbacks.

Andrew reveals his protein-focused nutrition journey, aiming for 140-150g daily while balancing family commitments with consistent shorter runs. Marty opens up about the reality of caring for an injured parent while trying to maintain his own training momentum. Meanwhile, I detail my recent knee surgery recovery and the humbling lesson that we don't heal as quickly as we once did.

We dive deep into the crucial distinctions between normal training soreness, actual injuries, and being truly "broken." When should you push through discomfort, and when is your body demanding rest? The stories of our first and worst injuries reveal how these experiences shape our movement patterns for decades to come. My high school pole vaulting accident, Andrew's childhood arm fracture, and Marty's debilitating back injury have all left lasting impressions on how we approach fitness today.

Perhaps most valuable is our discussion about finding sustainable fitness as we age. Does getting older mean abandoning high-intensity training for "leisure activities," or can we adapt our approaches while maintaining challenge and purpose? We explore how proper warm-ups, recovery protocols, and smart training can help extend our active years.

Ready for accountability? Join our "50 for 50" challenge starting April 19th: 50 air squats, push-ups, and sit-ups daily for 50 consecutive days. Follow along on social media and let's build consistency together heading into summer!
