Ever wondered about the psychological edge you could gain by embracing the unexpected in your fitness routine? That's exactly what we unpack in our latest HerdFit Podcast episode, where coach "The Professor" Adam Ramsden, takes hosts David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic into dissecting the electrifying 'Dark Week' at CrossFit Bison. We reveal our experiences with workouts that are kept under wraps until the last moment, discussing the mental agility required to tackle the unforeseen. We might not be dressing for a sprint and ending up in a swimming pool - but that's the spirit of adaptability we're talking about. 

We shed light on the protective benefits of varied routines and the embrace of the unknown for injury prevention. We champion the concept of trust—an essential ingredient in the coach-athlete dynamic—especially when personalized workouts come into play. Learn from fellow inspiring gym warriors who embody steadfastness in the face of adversity. We also discuss the delicate balance coaches maintain between keeping athletes on their toes with 'Dark Week' and providing enough stability to foster growth and consistency. Tune in to gain invaluable insights on how surprise elements in training can do more than just build muscle—they build character.
