Why Fit People Keep Breaking Down (& What You are Missing)
Thursday, 22 January, 2026
If you train 4-6 days a week and your body still keeps failing you - tight hips, recurring back pain, that thing in your shoulder that never quite goes away - this episode explains why. It's not effort. It's not age. It's a missing foundation that nobody's taught you. Rob breaks down the evolutionary mismatch between how we live and how we were built to move, why "functional exercises" aren't actually making you function better, and exactly what to do about it. Whether you're stuck in the physio loop or just tired of feeling tight despite doing all the "right" things, this one's for you.What we cover:The three questions that changed how I approach training (and why most people have no answer to the third one)Why fit, active people who show up consistently still keep getting injuredThe difference between "functional training" and actually training your body to function betterJoint independence before joint interdependence—why your squat won't improve just by squattingFlexibility versus mobility: why passive stretching gives temporary relief but never lastsThe hardware versus software concept—why foam rolling and massage are just hacksEnd range strength training: what Bruce Lee understood that most gym-goers don'tWhy I feel fitter, stronger, and more mobile at 49 than I did at 35Key takeaways:Movement comes first. Everything else comes second.Sport is chaos—it breaks bodies, it doesn't build them. Your training should prepare you for the forces you're putting your body through.The "physio loop" isn't bad luck. It's usually missing prerequisites.Expand your ranges of motion. Build control in those ranges. Then execute.Train for the next 40 years, not the next 4 weeks.Connect with Rob:Instagram: @rob_telosEmail: info@yourtelos.comBook a discovery call here: https://yourtelos.com/platinum-application
