(Note: Bj\u00f6rnsson was not in attendance.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really happy to learn some new stuff from the best people,&#8221; Miga\u0142a explains to the camera. &#8220;So it&#8217;s gonna be fun. It&#8217;s gonna be really helpful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Veering away from her usual CrossFit-centric routine apparently wasn&#8217;t easy for Miga\u0142a. She describes herself as a person who appreciates consistency in her daily planning, making the initial slight transition a little challenging.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Before I came to Iceland, that was one of my concerns,&#8221; Miga\u0142a said of her reservations about trying a different training style. &#8220;I&#8217;m the type of person who likes to have everything scheduled. I like my routine. I don&#8217;t really like too many changes. Leaving my gym, and my equipment, and my everything was quite stressful. I wasn&#8217;t sure about this, especially so close to a competition [the 2022 Rogue Invitational].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Miga\u0142a appeared to be won over by the temporary variation after some time. She seemed to believe she acclimated well and that this sort of focus helped her become more versatile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It actually turned out to be a really good decision,&#8221; Miga\u0142a says. &#8220;It&#8217;s really good training because I think, as an athlete, you should be able to adapt to everything and not really be used to doing the same stuff in the same safe space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cja995lIUsI\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cja995lIUsI\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"152552\">A post shared by Gabriela Miga\u0142a (@gabimiga)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><strong><em>[Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/hip-thrust\/\" data-lasso-id=\"152550\">How to Do the Hip Thrust \u2014 Variations, Benefits, and Common Mistakes<\/a>]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As for her workout, Miga\u0142a kept it quick, efficient, and effective when it came to the deadlift. That&#8217;s because her workout was not centered around pulling heavy weight. P\u00e9tursson had Miga\u0142a refocus and rework her deadlift technique in a healthy manner for improved strength in the long run, and she seemed to appreciate the coaching.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so different; I think it&#8217;d be so much easier if you could start from zero rather than forgetting your old technique after doing it for so many years,&#8221; Miga\u0142a said. &#8220;&#8230; But, yeah, practice makes perfect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Miga\u0142a would follow the initial deadlift coaching by cruising through a field portion length of the gym while lifting and re-lifting an 80-kilogram (176.3-pound) sandbag.
