The Invisible Disability That Feels Like a Bad Knee Every Day (Feat. Florian Gruhlke)

from The Adaptive Athlete Podcast · host The Adaptive Athlete

Florian Gruhlke joins from Germany to talk about training with two little kids at home, a new 2-hour daily commute, and squeezing sessions in from 9–11 p.m. He opens up about living and competing with multi-joint osteoarthritis—how it changes bar work, lifting numbers, and even what he chooses to post online. We talk about the sponsorship grind, representing “invisible” disabilities on social media, and why he adapts Mayhem programming for the Standing Diagnosed division.Follow Florian on Instagram: @fatmansgymnasticSend us Fan MailFollow the podcast on Instagram: @TheAdaptiveAthletePod
