    6 years later, from his parents home to owning a huge business. Well done Matt.

    "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.

    I don't crossfit, I lift weight but I don't understand why people that do bodybuilding hate crossfit. These guys are real athletes.

    • @nvyden
      @nvyden 8 років тому +51

      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.

    • @rockytheafg
      @rockytheafg 8 років тому +21

      +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.

    • @P3PSI642
      @P3PSI642 8 років тому +27

      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.

    • @rockytheafg
      @rockytheafg 8 років тому +6

      +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.

    • @dingzhong7795
      @dingzhong7795 7 років тому +2

      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.

    Best Episode so far. Money on Fraser.

    • @jersey282
      @jersey282 8 років тому +6

      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.

    • @Nicholas108108
      @Nicholas108108 8 років тому +1

      Lion I watched it, but I don't like Ence.

    • @jersey282
      @jersey282 8 років тому

      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

    • @Nicholas108108
      @Nicholas108108 8 років тому +4

      Lion Me not liking her personally doesn't mean I enjoy her failure. That is a petty attitude.

    • @jersey282
      @jersey282 8 років тому

      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

  • @gmt87801
    @gmt87801 8 років тому

    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.

  • @academyfitness305
