The OCR Underground Show

Episode 70 Shownotes

The COVID-19 situation has required all of us to get creative with our training programs.  This episode will hopefully give you great insight on how you can thrived during this tough time.

In this episode I explain the Virtual OCR that I will be hosting on Saturday, April 11th.  To register visit Virtual.  It will be a one of a kind event and hope you can join me.

In the Inside Mike’s Mind segment I discuss my four big tips for getting through this isolation specifically with your training in mind.  So many people I have talked to are having a hard time staying motivated and on track right now.  Check out how you can not just get through the next few weeks, but improve through them.

In my research review I talk about pull ups.  Who doesn’t want to be able to do more pull ups right?  This really interesting study looks at a unique aspect of training.  I will give you a hint.  You will be surprised with the outcome that lead to the best improvements in pull up reps.

Finally in my interview, I chat with return guest, SGX Coach Jono Blodgett.  Jono shares some of his tips for getting through the COVID-19 situation that have worked for him, plus he gets into what he feels has led to his racing success.  Last time I had Jono on we were discussing his recent Spartan Age Group World Championship win.  We are doing the same here as he went back to back top finishes.  He talks about the different recovery and training strategies he has been focusing on that have lead to his massive success.

All this and much more.
