Raff's Brain #162: Riffin' with Raff - Fitness at 50 - PASS THE CORNBREAD!

Rob Raffety is back on Riffin’ with Raff with coach and cousin Zachariah Lawson for another honest, funny, and motivating check-in on his fitness journey at 50. This week? A plateau. But it’s not just about the scale—it's about life. Rob juggles turning 50, celebrating 20 years of marriage, and hosting a giant party—all while trying to stay intentional with his habits. Zach brings insight into the mental side of fitness, how to stick with it when life is chaotic, and why he’s squatting every day in October. They talk travel temptations, public accountability, and even toy with the idea of Rob entering a flex-off someday. Real talk, real laughs, real progress.
