CrossFit dropped a bunch of changes for the 2027 season and we have thoughts. The Open is now Wednesday through Monday. Individuals can only accept two in-person semifinal invites. The Games are back to 40 men and 40 women, there’s a new 18-19 teen division, and Magic City is running the Masters Games. Some of it is a step in the right direction. Some of it we’ll be ranting about later.

Then we get into your questions. Can athletes get too attached to a story about who they are? What actually makes someone a gamer? Is a CrossFitter a hybrid athlete? Deficit vs. tempo vs. load, training through soreness, scaling progressions coming back from injury, and Colin hits me with the questions he’s been sitting on as an athlete and a coach. Plus shout-outs from Desert City and a bunch of retest PRs.

Free trials are live on all programs until Sunday, November 1st. Comp Plus is new: weekly coaching calls, a private group, and video review, no matter which program you’re on. It’s on FITR only right now. Head to MisfitAthletics.com and go to Individual Programs.
