So those inside tumbles, walls, blowovers and such are "low energy, low G" ? Seems like it would be brutal?

low speed... low g's

Nope. Think of it this way - anytime you see the elevator fully deflected (or nearly so) one way or another, there's very little G on the airplane. Compared to the stuff you mention, you'd think a basic push to vertical from level flight was "brutal". High speed and high G. Mithrandir's post above pretty well sums it up.

I saw once saw Rob eating ribs and French fries before his performance. 30 minutes later he strapped into the airplane and went on to go fly his routine...

Insane flight... great to see it!
