Misfit Podcast

As the competitive CrossFit landscape continues to change, so will we. Over the last 7 years we've done our best  to stay ahead of the curve, avoid the click-bait trends, and make sure you have the most direct no-bullshit path to the fittest version of yourself. We will continue to pave the way with what we believe the best way to train for the unknown and unknowable, and Phase I is the culmination of nearly a decade of close observation, trial and error, and empirically driven data with a heaping scoop of grit. Phase I will provide you with more options than ever to truly customize your training while still getting the guidance needed to master yourself. Misfit Athletics has, and will continue to be the most well-rounded competitive CrossFit program on earth, and we're upping the ante beginning with Phase I on November 18th. Saddle up boys and girls.------------------------------Misfits! We hope you enjoyed this episode. If you did and you're feeling generous throw us a review and let us know

Think about the best restaurant you've ever been to. It probably wasn't a chain, you probably had to make a reservation, and it probably wasn't cheap. But you didn't go there because you wanted a quick meal - you wanted an experience, atmosphere, great service, and a delicious meal. So how did you hear about that restaurant? Odds are, it was word of mouth - a friend couldn't stop talking about it, or you'd heard about the new restaurant in town from so many people you finally had to try it to see what the fuss was about.For the small business CrossFit gym, your best marketing tactic may still be the old reliable word of mouth, where creating an incredible experience for members leads to them voluntarily telling their friends how great of a place your gym is. Create the experience, make your members want to come back, and soon enough you'll be the hottest restaurant in town.------------------------------Misfits! We hope you enjoyed this episode.

With the last week of the Open, it's fitting that you get choose your own fate. Ultimately, you've been there and done that, and you're ready. The strategy is both everything and nothing in this workout (deep, we know), as those with the necessary capacity will have to figure out the right combination of muscle-ups and rest. Our initial strategy thought? Get the muscle-ups out of the way, using one of the other two movements (preferably wallballs) as your "rest". You can only cycle wallballs and muscle ups so fast, so as long as you transition quickly you can still be chipping away at the work ahead. Stay tough, and have a plan that's both solid and flexible. We'll check in throughout the weekend and right up until Monday night.------------------------------Misfits! We hope you enjoyed this episode.

So you finally got that 400 lbs back squat. Now what? You finally nailed down your morning routine, what next? As we try to construct a lifestyle that works for us it's important to remember that things will constantly change, priorities will shift, our goals will change, and that ultimately we are on a never-ending and unattainable pursuit of perfection in our health, personal relationships, habits, and more. One of the biggest downfalls with our culture today is a "good enough" mentality, where people try to change their lives for the better by forcing a square peg into a round hole. We're in the business of making your lifestyle work for you forever. Understanding that this noble but almost futile pursuit has no finish line should be both freeing and comforting, and the mantra of "one percent better every day, forever" is where you'll find success.------------------------------Misfits!

We've talked before about how important it is to be vulnerable enough to say that you've got a big, challenging, difficult goal that you want to achieve. Where so many people trip up is identifying whether it is, in fact, THEIR goal and desire, or what they believe the outside world wants and expects from them. We've talked about both goal setting and being vulnerable, but today we dive into an even more personal version of this conversation where you have to be honest with yourself about going after something that you, and only you, deem worthy of your hard work and dedication. You'll never be fully invested in something if you don't truly have complete ownership over it, and are doing it for the right reasons - whatever that means for you.------------------------------Misfits!

Ok boys and girls, re-test time it is. The only way you really put yourself in a hole is by going way too fast through the first half of the workout (although you can't go "slow"). Positioning in both the deadlift and HSPU will be critical to getting deep into, or finishing the second half of the workout. Check out all you need to know on this Open re-test workout as the Misfits break down 20.3.------------------------------Misfits! We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Keto or high carb. 18 hour fast or not at all. CrossFit or bodybuilding. Good or bad, left or right, black or white. Can't we all just get along? One of the most common issues we see with people who are looking to make positive changes in their lifestyle is a massive overcorrection from one extreme to the other. Today's social constructs encourage us to be on one side or the other, often neglecting the fact that there's usually something valuable from every extreme. It's far easier and more lucrative to sell something that advocates for one extreme or the other, and far easier to get you interested in something with a click-bait headline. Unfortunately for you, we don't have a shiny object with the latest and greatest craze to sell. You'll just have to hear us mumble on about how we can achieve incredibly positive results and changes by making small, simple, incremental changes to our habits over time.------------------------------Misfits!

In the inaugural Team Misfit Coach's Podcast episode, we talk about an intangible, immeasurable, but critically important factor in the success or failure of your gym: the Vibe. Call it what you will - culture, aura, air, whatever, it's huge. More important than your program and more important than how many letters you have after your name, establishing and promoting the right vibe in your gym is the difference between new members walking through the door, and the same members sticking around for years.------------------------------Misfits!

Using our nutritional diet as an analogy for what we consume mentally can give us much needed insight into what our day to day choices and surroundings do to our psyche. The people we associate with, the media we consume, and even the tidiness of our surroundings can have a real impact on how we think, act, and perceive the world.------------------------------Misfits!
