  1. It’s awesome hearing Fraser’s grunts doing these clean and jerks and squats. Watching him in competition, you don’t get hear that. Makes him seem like a machine out there on the floor. This reminds me that he’s human after all lol.

  2. He isn't the fittest man on earth.

    He is very good at crossfit, and you need to be fit to be good at crossfit – but being elite at crossfit does not necessarily make you fitter than professionals of other sports where elite fitness is required.

    I have a lot of respect for people who are good at crossfit.

    But this 'fittest on earth' type is just really, really stupid. The guy runs a 20 minute 5k, FFS. There are hundreds of athletes in other sports who are stronger than him and faster than him over any distance – and they are good at an actual sport too.

    Mat Fraser is really good at what he does. I just wish CF would stop overhyping their athletes. It's silly.

    We're talking about a decent weightlifter with a V02 max in the mid to high 50s – not a mashup of Chris Froome and Hafthor Bjorrnson.

  3. 7 years competing in Crossfit, been to the games 6 times: 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st
    This will be his 7th year at the games, his longevity at the top is insane
    A one man dynasty
    Best individual competitor ever

  4. Not sure who that bloke is but he keeps training he’ll get somewhere .. ha ha ..

    In all seriousness what comes through in abundance is his single-mindedness .. and a way to find purpose and motivation innovately and constantly

  5. It’s been a while since I’ve done the CrossFit thing, so when I saw Matt the first thing that went through my head was “dang, his chest got super hair, oh wait. That’s a new tat.”

  6. Craig do you run a strength specific program alongside your CrossFit workouts or are your workouts all 'random' as people say. I know there's more to it than randomly chosen workouts, just wondered if you ran something specific for strength? Awesome videos, keep them coming!!
