This week I sit down with Rebel coaches Keiran Halton and Ryan L’Ecuyer to debrief last month’s training camp and talk all things community, overthinking, and toxic poop (yes, you will need to tune in to understand the context). The training camps are an important feature at Rebel Performance because these are the times we get to meet up with all of our athletes to lift, learn, coach, throw down, eat, vibe, and so much more. Listen in to hear our biggest takeaways from the weekend and why it's a no brainer you should be at the next one.

This episode is centered around one of my absolute favorite topics, the physiological reserve (also known as the bioenergetic reserve) Listen in as Mike and Tommy discuss the concept of the physiologic headroom, applying stress to improve an athlete’s level of antifragility, and increasing cognitive control over your breathing.

We’re turning the clock back again this week to an episode I recorded in January of 2020 with my good buddy Dean Guedo, Canadian Sensation.

Listen in to learn how you can get really strong, build muscle and become an even better athlete while feeling your best.

Listen in to learn the importance of high velocity activities and how you can ramp up and build sprinting back into your training so you can become an athletic weapon
