Dr. Sean Pastuch joins the show to explain what it actually feels like to train in pain every day, scale every workout, and still walk out of the gym hurting.

Episode #223 of the PricePlow Podcast brings one of PricePlow’s own to the mic: Kaitlyn Kenna Smith, content creator for PricePlow and Bevlab, the face behind PricePlow’s TikTok, and host of the Powerhouse Mentality podcast. If you’ve watched PricePlow’s supplement and energy drink content on social, there’s a good chance Kaitlyn’s behind a lot of it. In this episode, Mike and Ben dig into Kaitlyn’s full story: from a teenager who turned to running to escape a difficult home life to an aspiring professional CrossFit athlete eating over 3,000 calories a day and training twice daily. She’s open about recovering from an eating disorder, why the 1,200-calorie recommendation harms active women, and how she coaches clients to focus on habits and biofeedback over scale weight. The conversation also covers creatine’s well-earned mainstream moment, the rise of functional ingredients in energy drinks, what 1st Phorm gets right about community, and why in-person events matter more than follower counts.

What happens when your CrossFit gym goes dark? Coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic dive deep into their CrossFit Bison's unique Dark Week experience – where workouts remain completely hidden until athletes walk through the door.They explores the fascinating psychological impact of removing workout previews. While some members struggle with the lack of control, others discover unexpected freedom when forced to trust their fitness completely. As Coach David explains, "If your true goal is to become a fitter version of yourself, you're going to have to do things you don't want to do."The hosts share candid insights about programming challenges, athlete reactions, and even expose how some members secretly try to peek at workouts ahead of time (spoiler: it ruins the experience like finding Christmas presents early). They tackle practical concerns like equipment preparation while highlighting profound benefits including breaking the subconscious bias of cherry-picking workouts and building mental resilience.Perhaps most compelling is how Dark Week reveals character. Those who embrace the unknown with humility often benefit most, while those who resist relinquishing control miss valuable growth opportunities. The discussion ultimately circles back to CrossFit's foundational principle of preparing for the "unknown and unknowable" – something many athletes gradually drift away from as they settle into comfortable routines.Whether you're a CrossFit veteran seeking to recapture early excitement or a fitness enthusiast curious about mental training aspects, this episode offers thoughtful perspectives on breaking patterns and embracing discomfort. Listen now to challenge your own approach to fitness and discover why sometimes not knowing might be exactly what you need.@crossfitbison @crossfittraining @crossfit @crossfitgames #crossfit #sports #exercise #health #movement #crossfitcoach #agoq #clean #fitness #ItAllStartsHere #CrossFitOpen #CrossFit #CrossFitCommunity @CrossFitAffiliates #supportyourlocalbox #crossfitaffiliate #personalizedfitness

What does it take to become the first state wrestling champion from your school in nearly 60 years? Today's guest, Francesca Gusfa @francescagusfa, joins coach David Syvertsen @davesy85 as she shares the remarkable journey that led her to make history at Ridgewood High School.Fresh off her state championship victory, 18-year-old Francesca opens up about the winding path that brought her to wrestling excellence. Unlike her brothers who started wrestling early, Francesca initially pursued gymnastics and other combat sports before fully committing to wrestling. That diverse athletic foundation gave her exceptional body awareness and movement patterns that now define her quick, powerful wrestling style.The conversation dives deep into the mental game that separates good athletes from champions. With refreshing candor, Francesca admits, "For me, the mental game is the toughest one." She details how losing last year's state championship became the fuel for her triumphant return, and how visualization practices helped her overcome performance anxiety. Her insights about pre-competition mindset and the challenge of "staying on top" reveal wisdom beyond her years.Perhaps most fascinating is Francesca's perspective on women's wrestling's rapid growth. As one of the pioneering female wrestlers at her school, she's actively working to recruit and train the next generation of girls to the sport. Her story illuminates how quickly opportunities are expanding for female wrestlers, from high school competition to collegiate programs.Whether you're a wrestler, an athlete in any sport, or someone who appreciates the psychology of high performance, Francesca's journey offers valuable lessons about resilience, discipline, and the power of mindset. Listen now to discover how this remarkable young athlete balances 6am training sessions, academic excellence, and championship aspirations while helping build the future of women's wrestling.@crossfitbison @crossfittraining @crossfit @crossfitgames #crossfit #sports #exercise #health #movement #crossfitcoach #agoq #clean #fitness #ItAllStartsHere #CrossFitOpen #CrossFit #CrossFitCommunity @CrossFitAffiliates #supportyourlocalbox #crossfitaffiliate #personalizedfitness

Plastic was supposed to be inert, right? I mean, it wasn't supposed to be able to cause real problems for humans, except maybe the whole issue of disposing of them. But plastics are a lot more complicated than that, and microplastics, tiny little fragments of plastic material, are apparently everywhere. And there's not as inert as we hoped. Are they messing with our hormones? Making us fat? Squashing our test levels? This topic is really just beginning to be studied, but we talk through some of the implications.  Also, CrossFit athlete Lazar Ðukić's cause of death has been revealed in the past few days and the answer may have major implications for the future of CrossFit and the Games.  Listener resources:  Report on the death of Lazar Ðukić: https://www.instagram.com/p/DCOdZ-8sdnv/?igsh=cjZ4dGs3MGpuMGQ1  Detection of microplastics in the human penis https://www.nature.com/articles/s41443-024-00930-6  Microplastics in human semen.

Understandably, the fallout from the death of CrossFit Games athlete Lazar Đukić is far from over. We discuss some posts and articles about the private meetings held at the Games concerning whether to continue and the demands made by the Professional Fitness Athletes Association in the days after the Games.  Is there a difference between fault and responsibility? Should athletes be more proactive in understanding the risks? Is the element of “surprise” in CrossFit events an essential part of the competition, or does it bring too much risk into the equation?  We also get into a little retrospective of John Cena's career.     Listener resources:  https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a61924568/brent-fikowski-crossfit-pfaa-statement/   https://barbend.com/decision-to-continue-the-2024-crossfit-games/Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com! Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!
