Episode 75 - Testing vs Adapting, Getting the Most Out Of Your Warm Up, & Jarod Cogswell Talk Spartan Deka

The OCR Underground Show

Well 2020 is coming to an end. We are all getting excited to look forward to what we hope is a bright 2021. Honestly it won't take much to make next year a step forward.

Normally this time a year I discuss reflecting and goal setting for next year. Despite what is going on I still think this is how we should end this year. In this episode I share some of my personal wins and things I am grateful for with 2020 and I encourage you to do the same.

In the Inside Mike's Mind segment I talk about testing versus adapting. Could you imagin going to school and getting a test every day? Why do we we treat our training the same way. Instead of constantly testing your limit learn the secret to training for adaptations.

In my research review I share some interesting research on a different type of warm up that helped athletes run faster, jump higher, improve mobility, and improve sport specific performance. There is much more to warming up than increasing your body temperature.

And finally I have on Spartan Deka Director of Sport and Education Jarod Cogswell. Jarod has an incredibly diverse experience in the fitness industry and I was excited to sit down with him and discuss the birth of the Deka Program and what the future hold.

It is clear how passionate he is about this sport and he shares his vision for the program as well as how they have adapted with COVID 19. They currently have events going on and it is only growing. He shares the 3 brands they are developing that you will love to get after when they come to you.

All this and much more.
