Ep 474 – Pushing for PR’s at 45+ Years Old
It is not often we take health and training advice from musicians, but that doesn't we cannot glean guidance from lyrics like Kenny Rogers' knowing when to fold 'em or Aerosmith pushing us to Dream.

EP 472 – Enhancing Athleticism w/ Virtual Shoveling
John and Tex spin a hotline question into an athleticism lecture breaking down the components of field work and how to integrate into your training to be ready-ready for the next Snow-pocalypse. Just like Virtual Shoveling, this episode is awkward, grip intensive, and challenge to listen to, but reminds us all that piling up your snow into a phallus sculpture is still funny.
