    Your Road to the 2027 Season | Misfit Athletics Phase 2 - E.421

    Phase 2 starts October 26th. We’re taking the strength, engine, and skill work from Phase 1 and building toward the demands of the 2027 CrossFit season. But how much isolated work do you still need, and when should you start doing more CrossFit? That answer depends on the athlete. We break down the next eight weeks, including heavy squat cleans, power snatch cycling, bar muscle-ups, handstand push-ups, and conditioning progressions. We also explain how to use our Variable Training System to choose the work that will move you forward, manage your volume, and build a week around your weaknesses, schedule, and goals. Whether you’re already a Misfit, considering the program, or a coach looking behind the curtain, this is your guide to getting more out of Phase 2.

Free trials return for the first week of Phase 2 only. ----------------------------------------------- Misfit Athletics Programming: https://strivee.app/marketplace/p/misfit https://misfitathletics.fitr.training/t/misfitathletics/ Join your fellow Misfits on Telegram, today!

    Retesting Workouts: Where Are You Leaving Time? - E.420

    You finish a workout and immediately think, “I can do better than that.” Okay, but where? Faster transitions? Different sets? Did you actually pace it poorly, or did it just hurt? This week we're digging into the art of retesting workouts, from benchmarks you haven't touched in years to phase retests and the quick turnaround of an Open workout or online qualifier. We talk through how to review your video, use movement and round splits, and figure out which changes will actually get you a better score. We also break down examples from our Phase 1 tests and some common traps: going through the motions on your first attempt, throwing away a good strategy, and assuming better fitness means you should double down on the plan that blew you up last time. If you're going to do it again, you should have a good answer for what you're going to do differently. ----------------------------------------------- Misfit Athletics Programming: https://strivee.app/marketplace/p/misfit https://misfitathletics.fitr.training/t/misfitathletics/ Join your fellow Misfits on Telegram, today!

    Get More Out of Every Workout: Fueling, Preparation & Recovery - E.419

    You put real effort into your workouts. Are your habits before and after training helping you get the most out of that effort? This week, Drew and Paige break down how to arrive fueled and ready, build a strategy that fits the workout, and finish your session with a plan for recovery. From carbs, hydration, and caffeine to warming up with purpose, the conversation connects the details athletes often skip to the training they care so much about. We also cover fueling for early morning sessions, choosing when to use a primer, learning more from your workout notes, and making post-workout nutrition and hydration work for you. The goal is to build a repeatable routine that helps you perform today, learn from the session, and come back ready tomorrow. ----------------------------------------------- Misfit Athletics Programming: https://strivee.app/marketplace/p/misfit https://misfitathletics.fitr.training/t/misfitathletics/ Join your fellow Misfits on Telegram, today!

    How to Peak for a Competition - E.418

    Competition prep isn't just more training. It's a shift in how you train, recover, execute, and think like an athlete. In this episode, Drew and Paige break down how competition prep differs from the offseason, from building volume and intensity through Hell Week to eventually turning that fitness into pacing, strategy, and repeatable execution. We get into recovery, athlete IQ, competition simulation, movement and strength variance, working around aches and injuries, preparing for known versus unknown events, and why the goal isn't to predict the test. It's to prepare the athlete who has to take it. Colin joins the conversation with questions on programming, standards, weaknesses, damage control, and some of the situations that come up when competition gets close. ----------------------------------------------- Misfit Athletics Programming: https://strivee.app/marketplace/p/misfit https://misfitathletics.fitr.training/t/misfitathletics/ Join your fellow Misfits on Telegram, today!

    Your plan is too complicated // Simple ≠ Easy - E.417

    The habits that drive progress are often simple. Executing them consistently is the hard part. This week, we explore why that difficulty sends us searching for new diets, supplements, and training programs before we’ve given the basics a chance to work. Starting with nutrition, sleep, and daily routines, we discuss why knowing what to do doesn’t always translate into doing it. Then we bring the conversation into competitive CrossFit: chasing elaborate movements, confusing novelty with progress, and overlooking how much better we can get at foundational skills. We break down why adding complexity can dilute a workout’s stimulus, why elite athletes still hammer the basics, and how thoughtful programming makes a complex sport clearer for the athlete.

    A CrossFitter's Guide to... CrossFit - E.416

    The offseason journey comes full circle. Drew, Paige, and Colin explore how accessory work, strength, gymnastics, engine training, intervals, and variance ultimately come together in the metcon, where athlete IQ, strategy, and execution turn fitness into performance.

    Confidence is Proof: My climb to Semifinals / Lindsey Hoffmann - E.415

    Back-to-back CrossFit Semifinals athlete Lindsey Hoffman joins Drew and Paige to discuss the decade of work behind her rise from affiliate member to elite competitor. Lindsey shares how she found CrossFit, became a Misfit athlete, transitioned from teaching PE to running Blackfin CrossFit, and finally broke through to the Semifinals after years of steady progress. The conversation explores the confidence she gained from competing at Syndicate Crown and the NorCal Classic, learning to move on from bad events, closing the gap on strength, and why she believes she belongs alongside the best athletes in the sport. Before the interview, Drew breaks down two common movement faults showing up in the current training phase: making yourself shorter at the catch on the rower and overextending during the back squat. He also shares details on the new Comp Plus weekly coaching calls.

    The Unsexiest Secret in the Universe - E.414

    Every year, Misfit Athletics chooses a new rallying cry. This one has been hiding in plain sight for years. Drew and Paige unpack the arrival fallacy, why reaching the next goal never changes us for as long as we expect, and why athletes keep abandoning the proven path for the latest shiny side quest. They break down the 99 and the 1, how process creates proof and proof creates confidence, and what to do when injuries, comparison, uncertainty, or “scary season” threaten to pull you off course. Paige also reflects on the decade of work behind becoming a top-10 Games athlete and why her best results came from simplifying, adapting, and continuing to show up. At the center of it all is the new rallying cry that will define the 2027 Misfit Athletics season.
