Dr. John McClellan, a spinal surgeon, is the guest on this informative episode.  

Sam and Dr. McClellan briefly discuss their shared experience playing for Coach Kane, (see Killer Kane episode) and tell some additional stories. 

Sam and Dr. McClellan discuss being active in your 50's and finding the balance between preventing injury while maintaining an exercise program.  Dr. McClellan uses an analogy that the aging spine is an old pickup that needs care and caution to operate. 

They talk about scaling, effects of complex weight lifting on joints, and high school students who lift casually that often suffer lumbar stress fractures,

In finding an appropriate exercise program for people in their 50's, 60's and 70s they discuss: 

1) Finding the right program. 
2) Mixing in stretching.
3) Message therapy. 
4) Knowing how to deal with injury.
