    How to Get Stronger in CrossFit: The 4 Athlete Archetypes - E.406

    Getting stronger in CrossFit sounds simple: lift weights, add load, repeat. But athletes rarely get stuck for the same reason. In this episode, Drew and Paige break down four common strength archetypes we see in competitive CrossFit athletes: the GPP monster who hopes the barbell stays light, the naturally strong athlete who moves poorly, the one-rep-max strong athlete who can’t express it in workouts, and the volume monster doing too much to actually adapt. We talk through how to identify where you fit, what kind of training each athlete actually needs, and why the path to getting stronger is not always as simple as doing more heavy lifting. If you’re a coach trying to solve strength problems for your athletes, or an athlete trying to figure out why the barbell still feels like the limiter, this one is for you.

    Kenzie Riley: Still in Game. Motherhood, Masters & gray area between competing and moving on - E.405

    Kenzie Riley is back on the Misfit Podcast to talk about the messy middle between being all-in and being done. She joins Drew and Paige to unpack her return to the Masters competition season, the realities of training inside a packed life, motherhood, imposter syndrome, and why the competitive fire does not disappear just because priorities change. From technical difficulties and bike cool-downs to bigger questions around identity, return on investment, and showing up with whatever time you have, this conversation is a reminder that there is a lot of room between perfect preparation and walking away.
