    In this episode, Drew sits down with Paige Semenza and Hunter Wood to break down The Compound Part 2, Misfit Affiliate’s next seven-week training phase.

    Episode 400 of the Misfit Podcast is here, and Drew and Paige celebrate the milestone by diving deep into one of the most misunderstood areas of CrossFit: pressing gymnastics.
