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

Good son!
Hellyeah
"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.
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
I don't crossfit, I lift weight but I don't understand why people that do bodybuilding hate crossfit. These guys are real athletes.
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.
+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.
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.
Fraser is like my brother in law. Beast on the outside and absolute nerd on the inside.
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
best road to the games yet. Back to studying for my fluid mechanics midterm. Fraser all day
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've rewatched the Fraser segments like 5 times now. My new most motivational Crossfit video.
think I'm MOST HYPE for next episode. that dottir battle is NO JOKE
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
Love seeing more of Ben! Top class guy I hope he wins again this year.
Super excited to watch this after work. Popcorn and all.
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
I've loved every bit of this series. I hope they continue to do it.
Love watching them both compete. Great spirit.
great video. The next one looks even better. Hurry up and release it!!!
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
thank you so much to the film crew - you are putting out some awesome work and we love it!
Ben: "The harder the better. And I hope it rains." Love it.
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.
This video is historical! It registers a before and after in crossfit competition: what was inside the mind of the fittest man in history.
HUGE FAN OF MATT! GREAT JOB ON DOING WHAT YOU PUT YOUR HEART AND SOUL INTO. TRUE DEDICATION AND IT PAID OFF.
I fucking love this series soooo much. One of my fave things I've ever watched!
Every episode's teaser makes me more and more excited for the next episode. Love these videos @crossfit. Keep doing them!
I'm so glad they put these two guys in this video
This series gets me so fired up like damn
These are really well done. I enjoy watching them.
Love how enthusiastic Matt's parents are about what he is doing in the sport. Super cool.
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 🌋
those videos are so amazing!!! thank you, CrossFit!
Fantastic quality content. I LOVE these clips. Very inspiring. GO FRASER!
I love what Mat Fraser says being a product suffering. It kinda blow my mind actually 3:10
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.
BEN LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE HIS DAD!
I have never seen anyone resemble a parent so closely!
So excited for the games.
Great Episode! Next episode will be amazing.
Its good to see Ben open up some more and show his personality on camera.
thank you for making video public, great video
Awesome video watching 2 of the best games athletes, bring on the Games!
Best Video I've seen for decades. !! Good job guys, keep up
so motivating! best episode yet!
both sick dudes, love it
that was awesome!! wishing Ben and Matt the best of luck.
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 !
Didn't know mat Fraser lived in Bernie town, Vermont. That's cool.
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
Country music, carries a .45, lifts heavy.... Mat is basically my male twin. GO MAT!!! WIN THE CF GAMES!
I can't wait for the games.
Awesome!! two awesome guys thank you
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!!
Great music!
The pictures of them as children are hilarious because they look the exact same as they do now! 😂
Go and take it mr Fraser! You're a beast sir..
Its just me or these videos motivate , I love it
Next episode 2 hours please!!!
Fraser is so damn motivating. Not just in athletics but academically too. Very inspiring.
Smith is fricken awesome too👍🏽
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.
love these.. so good. Mat is hungry.
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.
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
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!
And Kara Webb. She will definitely have something to say.
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!
15:47
VERY important point. Great advice. Please watch
I think I might have just shit myself at the confidence that they both just showed. It's going to be fucking epic.
The comment Fraser makes about reading textbooks is inspiring for me to try harder in my education!
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
16:37 bruhhh what are those pull-ups 😂😂😂
I hope Mat and Sara win this year!! He deserves it!!!
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!!!!!
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.
Отличный эпизод, спасибо;)!
16:47 what is that music from. This is sick! Does anybody know?
whats the name of the music that starts at 16:15
Only 20 minutes? I was hoping for one like Bridges and Ence
Let the battle begin! :D
Respect finished 1 and 2.
i was 2 lazy to even drive to the pizza place today
after watching this i am rooting for Matt!
03:00 to 04:07 epic!!! The best portion of this episode.
damn man..Ben looks like a f****n monster...they both do...holy crap, this shit is going to be epic
The music in this episode is so awesome, can anyone tell me what it is?
Anyone know the track mat is listening too the first time we see him? He is doing a hold with the ball and singing to it??
wish the videos at the end had links to watch them.
That first workout, 400m x 30...
:vommits:
3:03 - 4:09 Inspiration personified! 👍👏
They are so disciplined
This is really amazing. What are the soundtracks please? Whoever edited the soundtracks is very talented thank you!
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
what two products did Ben take at 4:20?
When I saw this video previously to the games I knew Fraser would be the winner. It was like watching Rocky 3. You can see how Fraser is like Clubber Lang, has The Eye of the Tiger hunger for wining, training alone in the basement..
Bridges is going to blow these guys away. He's on a mission this year and there is no stopping him.
Fraser! GO for it!!!
Fraser gonna win this year damnn
does anyone know the sick bgm played towards the end of this video
The best RttG! Track list, please!
I fucking love the mentality of those guys !!!! fighting spirit !!!!
what is that soundtack at 16:30?? @Crossfit
