Masters Mindset Minute: Rejecting Negative Vibes for Peak Performance

Training For Heavy Stone Carries After 40 with John "Rockman" Johnson

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2392101/fan_mail/new] We chase the Husafell stone dream and admit why a 39 meter carry feels terrifying when the weight is awkward and your lungs get crushed. We swap real stone stories, debate technique, and build a smarter training approach that respects strength after 40 while still pushing a big stretch goal.  • committing to Husafell Summer 2027 and why long timelines help masters athletes  • the wrong stone story and how conditions change everything  • pick mechanics, lap position, and why stone geometry beats you up  • Atlas sandbag carries, diaphragm pressure, and carry conditioning  • natural stone faux pas, cultural respect, and why damaged stones get hidden  • finding liftable rocks in parks and parking lots and why it turns into an obsession  • Dinnie style lifting and how rings and uneven loads punish your hands  • unconventional training ideas like misloaded barbells, Zercher work, and gorilla rows  If you enjoyed this episode and you'd like to help support the podcast, please share it with others, post it on your social media, or leave a review.  To catch all the latest from us, you can follow us on Instagram at Masters Athlete Survival Guide.  @masters_athlete_survival_guide on IG New podcast episodes come out every other Thursday!

What To Ask Your Doctor As An Athlete Over 40

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2392101/fan_mail/new] We talk about why masters athletes over 40 need real medical baselines instead of guessing, especially when training hard can hide early warning signs. We share the questions we bring to annual physicals so we can advocate for ourselves, track trends, and keep doing what we love for decades.  • why men often avoid the doctor and why that backfires  • what to ask at an annual physical and how to think about screenings  • how bad measurements happen and why cuff size matters for blood pressure  • building baselines so a single lab result does not drive big decisions  • overtraining versus overexertion and the role of recovery  • cardiac health questions and signs that mean slow down  • supplement hype versus what blood work can actually tell you  • hormones beyond testosterone including thyroid and cortisol balance  • lung function, skin checks, and broader cancer screening awareness  • blood tests to discuss with your doctor including CBC, iron, thyroid, ApoB, IGF-1, and hormone ratios  If you enjoyed this episode and you'd like to help support the podcast, please share it with others, post it on your social media, or leave a review.
