Misfit Podcast

In this episode, Drew sits down with Paige Semenza and Hunter Wood to break down The Compound Part 2, Misfit Affiliate’s next seven-week training phase. The crew walks through the bigger picture behind the phase, including heavy back squats and overhead pressing, strict pulling, intentional conditioning, continued running, and the return of Engine Class Sundays.They also dig into the why behind the structure: how affiliate programming can build real strength without losing the conditioning, skill development, and class experience that make CrossFit work. From squat mechanics and strict pull-up progressions to coaching nuance and long-term athlete development, this episode gives coaches and athletes a clear look at what’s coming and how to get the most out of it.Misfit Affiliate Programming:https://teammisfit.com/subscribe/Join your fellow Misfits on Telegram, today!

Episode 400 of the Misfit Podcast is here, and Drew and Paige celebrate the milestone by diving deep into one of the most misunderstood areas of CrossFit: pressing gymnastics. From wall walks and handstand push-ups to handstand walking, they break down the difference between chasing skills and actually building the strength, stability, and positioning required to sustain them in competition.The conversation covers:Why GPP and pressing strength matter more than flashy skillsCommon faults in wall walks, kipping HSPU, strict HSPU, and handstand walkingThe role of mobility, midline stability, and isometric strengthHow elite athletes use positioning and efficiency to separate themselvesPractical progressions and accessory work that actually move the needleWhy gymnastics development takes years, not weeksWhether you’re trying to get your first handstand push-up or refine high-level gymnastics under fatigue, this episode is a reminder that mastery comes from reps, patience, and attention to detail.Join your fellow Misfits on Telegram, today!
