Listener Q&A: Volume, Intensity, Strength v. Endurance, Weakness work, Bodyweight, and more... E.411

On this week’s episode of the Misfit Podcast, Drew and Paige answer questions from the Misfit community and cover a wide range of training topics as we wrap up Phase 0 and get ready for the start of the 2027 season.

We dig into the balance between intensity and volume, force-based versus frequency-based endurance, how to prioritize gymnastics weaknesses, building strength and power without losing conditioning, finding an optimal competition bodyweight, and the minimum effective dose for Zone 2. We also talk about whether burpees belong in the Gears Matrix, share the stories behind some classic Misfit benchmark workout names, break down calories versus meters and drag factor on the Concept2, discuss how often competitive athletes should compete throughout the year, and answer a bigger-picture question about what actually makes a training program successful.

Plus, we mix in some life updates, Drew’s current bodybuilding experiment, and a reminder about why your wearable can give you useful data but can’t tell you how you actually feel.
