#97 - How to Truly Optimize Your Performance | Dr. Golo Röhrken on Men's Health

Dr. Jonathan Apasu

Testosteron Experte von Adon Health

In this episode, Dr. Golo Röhrken talks about performance, VO2max, strength training, overtraining, and the biggest mistakes that recreational and ambitious athletes repeatedly make. As a doctor, sports scientist, and coach with experience in triathlon, Ironman, and Hyrox, he explains why many people train too hard, too non-specifically, and without a real foundation, and how to build endurance, strength, explosiveness, and recovery much smarter.

 

Topics in this episode:

 

  • Why VO2max is one of the most important markers for performance and longevity

  • Low Intensity vs. High Intensity: What effective endurance training really looks like

  • Why many train incorrectly in the "gray area"

  • Strength training for muscle mass, explosive strength, and long-term health

  • Why explosiveness is so important and often completely neglected

  • Recognizing overtraining: Motivation, libido, HRV, sleep, and training load

  • Why Hyrox athletes often overtrain more than triathletes

  • Why basics are more important than supplements, gadgets, and quick hacks

 

If you want to understand how to increase your performance, avoid injuries, and at the same time do something for your longevity, then definitely listen to this episode.

#82 - Muskelaufbau, Fettverlust & Longevity - so geht's richtig | Johannes Walter bei Männergesundheit

#82 - Muscle building, fat loss & longevity - the right way to do it | Johannes Walter at Men's Health

In this episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Johannes Walter, experienced strength trainer and coach, about the crucial factors for sustainable muscle growth, effective fat loss, and long-term health. The focus is not on short-term aesthetics, but rather on strength training as a key lever for performance, hormonal balance, and longevity. At the beginning, Johannes recounts his personal journey into weight training and his path to becoming a personal trainer. He explains why many men start with the desire for a better physique, but ultimately stick with it for the increased energy, resilience, and health benefits. He particularly highlights how training goals and priorities change with age – from an aesthetic focus in youth to efficiency, regeneration, and prevention later in life. A key part of the episode is dedicated to the most important principles of muscle building. Johannes explains why training volume needs to be adjusted depending on training age, why regeneration is often underestimated, and what role protein plays in training and fat loss. He debunks common fitness myths and shows why simple, consistently implemented principles are more successful in the long run than complicated programs. The discussion about machine versus free weight training is particularly interesting. Contrary to previous opinions, Johannes demonstrates that machines can be just as effective as free weights for pure muscle building – while simultaneously carrying a lower risk of injury. Especially for men who want to train efficiently and stay healthy in the long term, machines offer clear advantages, as they allow for controlled training close to muscle failure without leading to dangerous form failure. The topic of fat loss is also addressed in a practical way. Johannes explains why a calorie deficit is crucial, the role of everyday movement, and why stress is often an underestimated factor in body fat, especially visceral fat. Diet trends, detox concepts, and fitness fads are critically examined and replaced with realistic, practical strategies. Another focus is on stress management, sleep, and men's health. Johannes emphasizes that sleep quality is one of the most powerful levers for regeneration, testosterone levels, and performance. The topic of testosterone and TRT is also addressed, with a clear focus on lifestyle optimization before medical interventions are considered. In conclusion, Johannes offers concrete, actionable tips for everyday life: sensible strength training with manageable time commitment, sufficient protein intake, regular exercise, stress reduction, and consistent sleep prioritization. This episode is aimed at men who not only want to become stronger and fitter, but also want to remain healthy, productive, and resilient in the long term – without fitness myths, without ego, but with a sustainable training approach.
