    RUSHMORE: New Misfit Affiliate Phase - E.391

    The new Misfit Affiliate “Rushmore” phase kicks off Monday, March 16, and in this episode, Drew, Hunter, and Paige break down exactly what athletes and affiliates can expect over the next seven weeks. From weekly benchmarks and heavy-lift days to the philosophy behind GPP-focused programming, the crew explains why this phase is designed to build real, lasting fitness rather than just chase one-off PRs. They dive into the idea of “Mount Rushmore workouts,” the role of benchmarks in measuring long-term progress, how gyms should approach coaching the phase, and why showing up consistently matters more than chasing flashy movements. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or gym owner following Misfit programming, this episode will help you understand how the phase is structured, how to get the most out of it, and why variance and effort remain the foundation of elite fitness. ------------------------------ Misfits!
