In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Dr. John Rusin to dig into his new book, Pain-Free Performance: Move Better, Train Smarter, and Build an Unbreakable Body . We talk all things movement, strength, and longevity—how to actually perform at a high level without wrecking yourself in the process. John drops some serious wisdom from decades of training and coaching, and we get into the real science behind balancing load, recovery, and pain management so you can keep crushing it for the long haul. If you want to know how to train hard, move well, and build a body that lasts, you’ll definitely want to tune in.
