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!   Links Mentioned in the show: Review on Maximizing Strength:  https://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Fulltext/2023/04000/Maximizing_Strength__The_Stimuli_and_Mediators_of.22.aspx Assessing Injury Risk:  https://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Abstract/2023/07000/Assessing_Injury_Susceptibility_at_Marine_Corps.25.aspx Find A FMS: https://functionalmovement.com/members Eccentric Pull Ups:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmQUiDE5gbM Strengthening End Range of Motion:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96mkWNY_AaQ Isometric Split Squat:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AkeA2CiJyw&pp=ygUUc3BsaXQgc3F1YXQgaXNvIGhvbGQ%3D Elastic Plyos:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EexK-lFozXg&pp=ygUucG9nbyBqdW1wIG1pa2UgYm9seWUgc3RyZW5ndGggYW5kIGNvbmRpdGlvbmluZw%3D%3D Sagittal Plane Lunge:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFBjaBD2VDI Frontal Plane Lunge:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zCNnqtYWW0 Transverse Plane Lunge:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSb6XA-gpRE
