Episode 105: Summer Injuries and Staying in the Game

In this laid-back yet insightful episode of Masters in Motion, Jason Grubb and Rick Stevenson catch up after a busy start to the summer and dive into what it really means to train—and recover—as Masters athletes. From Jason’s recent back injury to Rick’s updates on summer CrossFit news, they share a raw and real conversation about the wear and tear of training, the importance of body maintenance, and how to find the right balance between intensity and recovery.

They also introduce a new sport catching attention: streetlifting. With its no-frills, max-effort approach, it opens the door to discussions about how we push limits and how longevity in fitness requires both effort and restraint.

Whether you're nursing an injury, trying to maintain momentum through the summer, or just curious about what’s next in the world of functional fitness, this episode delivers perspective, laughs, and a reminder to listen to your body.

🔑 Takeaways:

Summer brings a different rhythm to training—and sometimes, setbacks.

Injuries happen, even when we’re not pushing at full intensity.

Longevity in CrossFit comes down to smart training and proactive recovery.

Body maintenance isn’t optional—it's part of the sport.

Listening to your body is a skill every Masters athlete must develop.

Streetlifting is an emerging sport worth watching.

You can train hard and train smart—it’s not either/or.

Fun, food, and fitness still go hand-in-hand.
