Welcome to the OCR Underground Show.  You best resource for training tips and strategies to help you train for your next OCR.  

You may have heard already but DEKA will be holding a DEKA STRONG event at the IDEA World Fitness & Nutrition Conference at the LA Convention Center 7/14-7/15.   I will be volunteering at the event as a judge and would love to see you there.  Swing by the DEKA booth at the Expo.  You can't miss it.

Looking for a scienced-based essential amino acid supplement to help boost performance, increase muscle repair and recover, or improve liver function?  Check out the Amino Company and their great products.  Visit www.aminoco.com/OCR and use code OCR to get 30% off your order.

Ice baths are one of the most popular recovery modalities right now and for good reason.  The problem is how hard and expensive they can be to set up.  The Pod Company has you covered though.  They have a portable ice bath for a fraction of the price of most companies.  Earn $10 off through this link:  https://snwbl.io/pod-company/MIKE17290

Are you trying to get strong?  In my research review I share a really cool write up on maximizing strength.  This looked at a bunch of research explaining the mechanisms behind building strength, the mediators for long term strength, future considerations, and how to build strength without heavy load.  

In My Inside Mike's Mind segment I share some tips on becoming more resilient.  This is part I of a two part series on resilience.  This one talks about making your body more resilient and the next will talk about mental resiliency.  

In this one you will learn a few simple, yet effective, things you can in your training to bullet proof your body and minimize annoying injuries.  

Enjoy the show!
