Understanding the gap between how you think you move and how you actually move might be the most valuable revelation in your fitness journey. In this episode, the Misfit Athletics team breaks down why filming your training and recording your splits are fundamental yet overlooked elements that can transform your off-season development.
The coaches share personal anecdotes about the shocking reality check that comes from seeing yourself perform on video for the first time. From Hunter's awkward football recruiting tape to Doug's college sports realizations, these moments of truth force athletes to confront the difference between perception and physical reality. This disconnect applies directly to CrossFit, where athletes often "athletic" their way through movements rather than mastering proper mechanics.
We explore why filming your lifts and gymnastics skills provides crucial feedback on bar path, body positioning, and movement efficiency that simply can't be perceived without visual evidence. Similarly, recording workout splits gives you concrete data about pacing and breaking points that build intuitive understanding over time. These practices require no special equipment beyond a smartphone, yet deliver incredible value for performance improvement.
The conversation expands to include fascinating insights about athletic development, including why training alongside better athletes naturally elevates your ceiling, how proper nutrition timing impacts recovery between sessions, and why moving poorly inevitably leads to injury regardless of your current fitness level. We also touch on the frustration of spring snow in Maine, wisdom tooth woes, and the mind-boggling strength demonstrations of Larry Wheels.
Whether you're a competitive CrossFitter or someone simply looking to maximize your training effectiveness, this episode offers practical strategies that can immediately enhance your off-season progress.
