Fitness Candor Podcast

In this episode Dr. Michael Mash, the founder of Barbell Rehab, shares his journey from a high school baseball player to a leading expert in integrating strength training with rehabilitation.

We discuss the challenges of managing pain and injuries in fitness, with a focus on the importance of maintaining movement and making small adjustments rather than complete overhauls to training programs. Michael emphasizes the role of mindset in recovery and offers practical tips for coaches working with clients experiencing pain.

For more insights and tips, follow Michael Mash on Instagram at Barbell Rehab and visit the Barbell Rehab website.

Just a quick one to share my favorite and most used fitness and health apps. If you're like me and enjoy tracking different areas of your fitness and health then this episode is for you. These apps I use either daily, weekly, and occasionally hourly. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's necessary (or healthy) to track like crazy then take those results as gospel. Instead treat the results as a marker to improve on areas the best you can knowing that there is always give and take depending on your goals. I go into more detail about what I like and dislike in a couple of the apps.
