Welcome back to the Reactive Training Systems podcast.

In today's episode Mike Tuchscherer and John Garafano talk to RTS Coach and World Champion Mark Robb about the mindset tactics that he's adopted over his 40 years of training experience, to become the kind of lifter who's still setting lifetime PRs into his 60's.

Because injuries can be such a significant derailment to our progress, Mark shares his experience with one injury in particular, which after decades of experience under the bar ended up keeping him out of the gym for almost six years.

This conversation centres around how to adjust goals after being injured, how to reframe some of these scenarios, and not so much about fixing the injury but about how to cope with it mentally.

We're going to talk about long term versus short term and the techniques and tactics that we found to be effective as coaches and as athletes and that we've used for accepting our circumstances.

We'll also talk about the value of perspective, about mentorship, overshooting, versus undershooting, and quite a few other things.

We hope you enjoy!
