"When I was in school, I would literally sit in a library for ten hours on a saturday. I would read the textbook cover by cover. When I had finished a chapter-, If I couldn't tell you every single law that was in there, every single formula, I would go back and read it again. It's not because I was addicted to reading the textbook, It's because I was addicted to the day we got our exams, and the exam wasn't challenging. That's the feeling I chase. Like getting your test score back and you have the highest grade in the class, THAT'S a good feeling." Fucking right on. This is why I love this guy.
exactly. people are so quick to assume that crossfitters aren't real athletes without realizing what they do. These athletes work their asses of all year around to make it to the games. People say they're on roids, or they're fake. It's sad how much people will bash on others thatre better then them. If you don't enjoy crossfit, don't bother hating on it. Everyone has their own different way of training and respect is what should be given, not taken for granted.
+Naydenflo I'm a soccer player so I lift weight for strenght and endurance but I think I should switch to crossfit. Their training seems more appropriate for a soccer player.
Because early crossfit gym gave an incredibly bad rep about unsanitary garage gym with too much testosterone going on resulting in over inflated ego doing with half-twits doing as many reps as possible while ditching technique as an incredibly lame-ass unnecessary process to go through.
These guys are the real deal, they took serious workout and competition simply represents their capabilities. But a lot of Xfit gyms simply assume the exercise should be the same as the ones in competitions and simple-minded think that keep doing them makes one better. Xfit is sport not exercise. Training is training and Xfit is not a type of training.
did you watch Bridges/Ence? That one to me was the best, epic storyline and parallel of last years results in the regionals to this years. Edited so well! This wasn't nearly as epic, impactful or powerful imo. Next episode looks real good.
Not liking someone you don't know seems *petty so I assumed you would also enjoy her failures but maybe you have good reasons... but either way, it was a great ep *im messing with you...mostly
think that ben , matt and josh are gonna battle the shit between them.. fraser crushed the regs .. josh has the power and mentality.. and ben is the last year winner and really healthy this year.. gonna be interesting
I like that he lives with his parents. I mean why not...make money,support them,spend time with them.they're getting older,you don't wanna regret stuff when they're gone. Good guy
I love where Fraser's coach says "he works on his weaknesses and adapts to the training better than anyone..." That was so apparent this year. Everyone gave him a hard time going into the sprint and he tore it up. He did great at the swim. He just did great at everything.
I'm so incredibly excited to watch the competition between Ben Smith, Noah Olsen, Josh Bridges and Mat Fraser this year on the Men's side, and of course the -Dottir battle on the Women's side. 2016 Games is going to be phenomenal!
Fraser: I've put in the work, I'm the best I've ever been, and I'm going to win the games this year. Smith: Oh boy, I can't wait for the games, it's gonna be so much fun!!
Ben is just a beast. Matt goes to the dark place like he's not even scared of it. Josh is on a warpath. Can't wait!! 1. Ben 2.Josh 3.Matt 4.BK and 5.Scott are my top 5 this year. Really backing the humble, hardworking beast that is Ben. Let's GO Big BEN!!!!!
Can't wait for games. The Race for winning the games most likely will be between Smith and Fraser. But outside of this guys there is so many else too. I love Ben but i really wanna Mat win this year. Second place sucks !
Utter annihilation of the field between Bridges and Fraser. It's gonna be a very fun year to watch. Also Sevan you are a beast with all CrossFit Media productions. Kudos to you Sir.
Random question but what is Mat wearing on his wrists during the workout right around 16:55; are they some sort of bizarre hybrid akin to the 'wodies' that are becoming popular...?
Ima be completely honest I think mat is gonna go down in history for Crossfit as one of the fittest in the game cause he's gonna do whatever it takes to win. Something that's Rich refrains from a lot.
Matts speech on suffering and his drive has motivated me for life
Abdul basit absolutely
Abdul basit Same, as a student and an athlete I totally agreed with that exam day analogy
Abdul basit it looks stupid as fuck
Muskeln-kaufen.de when he tests positive then sure, until then that’s just you hoping for him to be discredited.
6 years later, from his parents home to owning a huge business. Well done Matt.

Fraser makes even living with your parents look badass...
Jonah Conner he lives with his wife
Jonah Conner p
Good son!
Hellyeah
I don't crossfit, I lift weight but I don't understand why people that do bodybuilding hate crossfit. These guys are real athletes.

+Mateo De Silva White dont worry bro I'm far from what these guys look. I'm looking for strenght, stamina, agility. Being big is not my main purpose.

Best Episode so far. Money on Fraser.
did you watch Bridges/Ence? That one to me was the best, epic storyline and parallel of last years results in the regionals to this years. Edited so well! This wasn't nearly as epic, impactful or powerful imo. Next episode looks real good.
Lion I watched it, but I don't like Ence.
oh ok but that means you should have loved it since you would know it was all leading up to her not making it in the end lol
Lion Me not liking her personally doesn't mean I enjoy her failure. That is a petty attitude.
Not liking someone you don't know seems *petty so I assumed you would also enjoy her failures but maybe you have good reasons... but either way, it was a great ep
*im messing with you...mostly
Ben Smith: I love coaching, I do it for them
Matt fraser: I just wanna win
This has aged well
This is going to be the first games I watch and I'm absolutely pumped. Excited to see Smith, Fraser, and Bridges go at it
I've rewatched the Fraser segments like 5 times now. My new most motivational Crossfit video.
Fraser is like my brother in law. Beast on the outside and absolute nerd on the inside.
best road to the games yet. Back to studying for my fluid mechanics midterm. Fraser all day
Smith is really good but to me Fraser is THE guy.
Agreed, but I after last year I decided to never count Ben out again. The dude is a machine.
think that ben , matt and josh are gonna battle the shit between them.. fraser crushed the regs .. josh has the power and mentality.. and ben is the last year winner and really healthy this year.. gonna be interesting
Matheus Barbosa the next Rich Froning
Smith is a facedick
I like that he lives with his parents. I mean why not...make money,support them,spend time with them.they're getting older,you don't wanna regret stuff when they're gone. Good guy
thank you so much to the film crew - you are putting out some awesome work and we love it!
HUGE FAN OF MATT! GREAT JOB ON DOING WHAT YOU PUT YOUR HEART AND SOUL INTO. TRUE DEDICATION AND IT PAID OFF.
think I'm MOST HYPE for next episode. that dottir battle is NO JOKE
Love seeing more of Ben! Top class guy I hope he wins again this year.
I've loved every bit of this series. I hope they continue to do it.
I'm so glad they put these two guys in this video
It's pretty cool to see Ben actually making jokes and laughin' that much, considering he's always so serious when it comes to these CF videos.
Wow Matt saying he'll win the games this year is kinda impressive. Man why are the Dottiers so incredibly gorgeous?
He said : I think I am going to win :P but it is a big declaration haha and yes The Dottiers are gorgeous!
He won which is the best
Isn't it dottir?
More impressive he did it 5 times in a row hehe
This video is historical! It registers a before and after in crossfit competition: what was inside the mind of the fittest man in history.
I love where Fraser's coach says "he works on his weaknesses and adapts to the training better than anyone..." That was so apparent this year. Everyone gave him a hard time going into the sprint and he tore it up. He did great at the swim. He just did great at everything.
It will be a good one. Matt vs Ben vs Josh. all training like mad men. Can't wait!!!!
Ohlsen too!
No, he is not.
kinda funny?? haha
Super excited to watch this after work. Popcorn and all.
I fucking love this series soooo much. One of my fave things I've ever watched!
Ben: "The harder the better. And I hope it rains." Love it.
Love how enthusiastic Matt's parents are about what he is doing in the sport. Super cool.
Its good to see Ben open up some more and show his personality on camera.
Matt Fraser is going to win the 2016 games.
Gata_ Patea12 and 17 and possibly 18 😁
The 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and probably the 2020 games. Matt is a beast.
5x Champ? Insane
And now he did it. 5X champion 🌋
Love watching them both compete. Great spirit.

Oh for sure! I can't believe I forgot to mention her haha
This is shaping up to be an awesome games. Only 8 more days!

Awesome video watching 2 of the best games athletes, bring on the Games!
Country music, carries a .45, lifts heavy.... Mat is basically my male twin. GO MAT!!! WIN THE CF GAMES!

Smith: Oh boy, I can't wait for the games, it's gonna be so much fun!!
Best Video I've seen for decades. !! Good job guys, keep up
Ben is just a beast. Matt goes to the dark place like he's not even scared of it. Josh is on a warpath. Can't wait!! 1. Ben 2.Josh 3.Matt 4.BK and 5.Scott are my top 5 this year. Really backing the humble, hardworking beast that is Ben. Let's GO Big BEN!!!!!
Fraser is so damn motivating. Not just in athletics but academically too. Very inspiring.
Smith is fricken awesome too👍🏽
So excited for the games.
that was awesome!! wishing Ben and Matt the best of luck.
Great Episode! Next episode will be amazing.
thank you for making video public, great video
Great music!
Can't wait for games. The Race for winning the games most likely will be between Smith and Fraser. But outside of this guys there is so many else too. I love Ben but i really wanna Mat win this year. Second place sucks !
The comment Fraser makes about reading textbooks is inspiring for me to try harder in my education!
Go and take it mr Fraser! You're a beast sir..
Its just me or these videos motivate , I love it
Didn't know mat Fraser lived in Bernie town, Vermont. That's cool.
both sick dudes, love it
Utter annihilation of the field between Bridges and Fraser. It's gonna be a very fun year to watch. Also Sevan you are a beast with all CrossFit Media productions. Kudos to you Sir.
I had no idea what is crossfit about couple days ago and now i fell in love with it. I need to change my fitness plus gym for some more suitable :-o
BEN LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE HIS DAD!
I have never seen anyone resemble a parent so closely!
so motivating! best episode yet!
whats the name of the music that starts at 16:15
I can't wait for the games.
Yay! Matt Fraser is learning to flip the pig 0:07 . If he work on pig flipping and sprints, then he will win because those were his worst events.
love these.. so good. Mat is hungry.
Awesome!! two awesome guys thank you
I think I might have just shit myself at the confidence that they both just showed. It's going to be fucking epic.
3:03 - 4:09 Inspiration personified! 👍👏
15:47
VERY important point. Great advice. Please watch
I hope Mat and Sara win this year!! He deserves it!!!
Next episode 2 hours please!!!
I'm a bodybuilder... but God damn, I give crossfitters props... this looks hard as hell. other than their pull-ups. everything is nice lol
03:00 to 04:07 epic!!! The best portion of this episode.
This should have also been an hour long episode.Money on Fraser,he's not gonna le the title slip out of his hands this time.
This aged well beyond any expectation.
man frasers mentality will get him to the top. I admire his desire for pain and suffering.
unbelivable!
my question is can he put himself through that after he has won.
if he can, hes unbeatable in my eyes. not even rich can beat him
Sean Bebee rich has beaten him before, so never say not even rich
Bridges is going to blow these guys away. He's on a mission this year and there is no stopping him.
16:37 bruhhh what are those pull-ups 😂😂😂
16:47 what is that music from. This is sick! Does anybody know?
The pictures of them as children are hilarious because they look the exact same as they do now! 😂
xD at 10:26 using a fake backdrop to make it look like they are outside a brick house????????
ArdensGember That's actually just some stability effect on the video that made things go funny when he moves his head.
does anybody know the soumdtrack starting at 16:30 or 17:50 ?
or at 20:00 ?
Ask Siri, "What song is this?" and play it through your speakers.
+Damien333 if you have it please share
its "Regular guy_old friends".
Nope sorry thats not the one. (It's a nice song and it's in there but not the one at the time I marked)
Im looking for it too! I can't find it did you?
Just wondering if anyone knew the type of wrist wraps Mat Fraser has on in this video around 16:55???
Fraser gonna win this year damnn
what is that soundtack at 16:30?? @Crossfit
Soundtracks plz!!!!!
Random question but what is Mat wearing on his wrists during the workout right around 16:55; are they some sort of bizarre hybrid akin to the 'wodies' that are becoming popular...?
Only 20 minutes? I was hoping for one like Bridges and Ence
Anybody know what that roller is that ben is using at 4:50? Been looking for a single ball roller.
Did that dude seriously say "'wow you guys are big as crap' except with the s word!"
You can't swear around Ben?
ITS YOU
damn man..Ben looks like a f****n monster...they both do...holy crap, this shit is going to be epic
what two products did Ben take at 4:20?
I fucking love the mentality of those guys !!!! fighting spirit !!!!
after watching this i am rooting for Matt!
does anyone know the song at 4:32?
Me looking at Matt Fraser in his basement: 😳😟. Imagine being his neighbor, seeing him knocked outside. You good neighbor? Lol need some water? 🤣
Ima be completely honest I think mat is gonna go down in history for Crossfit as one of the fittest in the game cause he's gonna do whatever it takes to win. Something that's Rich refrains from a lot.
Music starting from 15:30? Anyone? Shazam doesn't help.
Does anyone know who (Brand) makes that ball roller stick at 4:51?
Respect finished 1 and 2.
Отличный эпизод, спасибо;)!
so when will they be taking Fraser and one of the Dottirs and breed an army of super soldiers
