Get ready to embrace the misfit spirit as we unravel the next phase of training at Misfit Athletics! Join us for an engaging session where we provide an insider’s look into our specially curated competition programming tailored for MFT, Hatchet, and age group athletes. Find out why the Hatchet program has become a favorite among our participants, and discover how our strategic phase-based approach can take your performance to new heights. Plus, enjoy some light-hearted moments as we share personal stories about the quirks of aging, from crafting the perfect butternut squash soup to observing the fall foliage, all while celebrating the Pittsburgh Steelers' victories and anticipating an exciting trip to Scotland.
Explore the art of strength progression and balance it with conditioning to truly amplify your CrossFit journey. We dive into the intricate differences between the Hatchet and MFT programs to help you decide what aligns best with your goals. Strength is front and center with heavy squat cleans, back squats, and speed deadlifts leading the charge. Our conversation will guide you through the nuances of Olympic lifting techniques, placing a spotlight on exercises like the clean and jerk, power snatch, and power clean, all while emphasizing speed and efficiency. We also take a closer look at positional work designed to prepare athletes for heavier lifts as we edge closer to the competition season.
As we wind down, we shift gears to endurance training and the delicate balance of aerobic and anaerobic workouts. Uncover the secrets of integrating aerobic bias into your routine for enhanced performance, and how benchmark tests can aid in pacing strategies. With a mix of deadlifts, rope climbs, and GHD sit-ups, we emphasize the importance of a well-rounded workout that doesn’t shy away from the drudgery of “bitch work” to build endurance. Engage with our insights on how pacing and calibration in workouts like "Spiders on Mars" and the Mount Doom test can redefine your limits. This episode is packed with insights, strategies, and stories designed to elevate your CrossFit training and lifestyle.
