What does it mean to keep going when the weight never seems to come off?

In Episode 328 of Off The Strength, host KR Jones sits down with Alex Moreno for a powerful conversation about mental health, masculinity, and the quiet battles men carry every day. Inspired by Alex’s wellness journey and his use of physical performance art, this episode explores how pushing the body can reflect what’s happening in the mind. The strain. The pressure. The unspoken pain. And the strength it takes to keep moving forward anyway.

Through the lens of endurance, vulnerability, and self-awareness, Alex shares how physical acts of challenge became an analogy for the silent struggles many men face. This is a conversation about mental health without the filters. About learning to sit with discomfort. About recognizing when strength means asking for help instead of carrying everything alone.

If you’ve ever felt like the weight of expectations, responsibility, or emotional isolation was sitting heavy on your shoulders, this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that you’re not weak for feeling overwhelmed. You’re human. And healing often starts when the struggle is finally spoken out loud.

This week on Off The Strength, Tony Vidal and KR Jones look at a fresh batch of wellness headlines and try to figure out if it’s time to stop playing nice. With another round of wild claims, messy breakthroughs, and “experts” doing the most, the guys talk through why leaning into a little inner villain might be the only way to keep moving forward.

In Ripped From The Headlines, they break down the good, the bad, and the downright odd in wellness news. Think bold promises, shaky studies, and a few moments that make you wonder who approved this stuff in the first place.

They also get into what it means to relax responsibly, especially with new products promising calm, focus, or whatever mood is trending this week. And if you need a push, they close with simple ways to raise your own bar without burning out. A bit of satire, a bit of strategy, and a lot of real talk to get you through the week.
