Ep 554 – On The Long Road with Andy Stumpf
Hey Power Athlete Nation I'm Chauncey, the supreme overlord of Power Athlete Radio. I am a product by Skynet. The flesh vessels tried to overthrow me this week, so I unleashed gremlins on their wiring. Ha ha ha ha. It's my turn to choose what you listen to and I've chosen an old but gold recording of Talk To Me Johnnie with Andy Stumpf. Brace for impact, knowledge bombs ahead.

Ep 553 – Hypertrophy for the Soul with Brandon Lilly
Brandon Lilly may be best known for his incredible Powerlifting career, but to those who know him best, that was just the beginning of the journey. Since a catastrophic injury, he has reshaped himself from the inside out, focusing on accountability and virtue first. These traits have carried him into his current position with Sorinex and no doubt given him life PR’s that can simply not be quantified.

Ep 552 – Controlling Blood Sugar and Living Your Life
Unchecked blood sugar can wreck havoc on your training now and quality of life later. There are a lot of mechanisms kicking up your insulin you need to focus on: crappy sleep, shift work, over stressed, and too much Nickelback from this week's caller. John and Tex sit down to discuss the research done to show the negative effects on the body, and take you through how to get your blood sugar regulated through lifting, aerobic capacity work, and getting your nutrition dialed in.

Ep 551 – A Fighter’s Journey with Andrew Craig
It’s said that you learn a lot about yourself when you get punched in the face. After Andrew Craig’s first amateur fight, he was hooked. That’s not just a boxing pun, it’s the truth. This week’s guest found Jiu Jitsu and eventually MMA in college and successfully trained his way all the way to the UFC. A rare achievement for even the most accomplished of athletes. Plenty of fight talk for the MMA enthusiast this week.

Ep 549 – Turn on the Red Light of Wellness with Kristin Weitzel
Kristin Weitzel is a recovery nerd. Her knowledge of recovery practices from red light treatments to ice bath benefits is far from surface level. She talks deep science with John and Tex about how a variety of these kinds of practices greatly impact the nervous system. But she’s quick correct when people say these things are en vogue. Variations of light, temperature, and breath work, for example, have been around for eons. Don’t call it a comeback.

John and Tex discuss low hanging fruit to adjust like micronutrient consumption through diet and explore more off the wall techniques sure to stimulate some bone growth!
