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.
Mat and team. You have been a serious inspiration for me after getting into CrossFit. My life and perspective have changed tremendously since becoming a follower. May blessing continue to come our way!
I come back to this video regularly. Something about that slow-mo with that music. Get the people goin. And Mat is just a straight up badass. Love his motivation
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 EDIT: Now officially the greatest CrossFitter of all time
What do the greatest athletes have? Consistent focus and determination over the years. Ability to adjust to meet expectations. Unafraid to die to be the greatest to ever do it. We all refer to it as sacrifice. And it's not just the athletes sacrificing.. it's the families that have to put up with the fact that these guys could come home empty pocketed or not compensated enough. They have to put up with the arrogance, stubbornness and selfishness of these athletes. The only thing that made it worth it was the victories, endorsements and earnings. Other athletes that put in this amount of time and effort that can't beat Mat often put their relationships and all other opportunities on the line.
Quite similarly, Froning went 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st. Fraser has won by larger margins most years but Froning won in 2014, which was the only time they competed against each other at the games. Personally, I think they both have very compelling cases for the all-time best individual competitor. Though Froning's team wins probably make him the all-time greatest all around games competitor in my opinion.
@@aaronthegold Anyone who points to 2014 should go back and look at the Games videos, particularly the overhead squat event. Fraser looks nothing like what he looks like today and now is 10x the athlete. Froning is great no doubt but I think you just can't ignore longevity. The mental grind alone year after year is enough to wear anyone out. Numbers don't lie, especially if Fraser wins again.
I had hardware put in my lower back L4-L5 and am currently dealing with the knee bullshit. When you said "I wasnt square. It went my lower back, then my hip, then my knee". I felt like it was me talking lmao. Im glad to see that it gets better. For me its my hip flexor on my left leg that is doing my knee in.
I loved this clip - such powerful footage for people like me still early on our Crossfit journey. Listening to Matt’s words and watching his form, I really enjoyed this! Thanks Craig and Matt. Keep it up! 💪🏻
Damn Mat is a beast! Your vlogs has come long way, I would like to see some kind of short movie about your journey to this point. Including all the peeps from zack to froning!
Great to see how Matt talks about "purpose." I couldn't agree more. One has to tackle life with "purpose," or you will be doomed to mediocrity. Thanks, #TEAMRICHEY for all that you do.
@@u04pww2 Problem is this only gets you so far. Havin a purpose, even small mediocre purpose will help you live a personally meaningful life and not be miserable. Hedonism is generally extremely shortlived. Shorter than you or i will live
Rabdo didn't even stop this man. Rabdo nearly killed me. Had me in the hospital for a week. I tore so many things and I couldn't even move, walk, or even talk.
Always the perfect place to see the Mat's training. Thanks !! I dunno if anyone here agree, i think the best content is always " a full wod session" above anythg else. I usually just put it on, and do the wod at the same time..just to see if i can keep up...BUT..i see the T2B! looks solid!!!
@@larrybird646 why is steroids always the thing to blame... i think some people just work so hard that it makes people feel insecure about their work ethic that they have to try and call everyone else out for cheating
@@HarryManback0 understandable. It might not be for everybody. But really enjoy when the creators now are putting time and quality in! Info on both of these channels are always good
If this question has been answered I do apologise. The weights Mat is using say CrossFit games 2017, were these given/earned when he won the games, or did he ask for them?
"Just don't do it wrong"
Words to live by
at 2:11 😂👏
Not really. Fail your way to success.
MrJamesdryable within reason
@@mandan9246 Of course.
Lasha is doing it wrong then..
I went to my first Crossfit session last night - after 1 year of watching these videos. I am so inspired by watching you guys. Thank you.
Let me guess... You died, but want to do it again.
@@flyingardilla143 Yes i couldn't breathe by the end of it. Do it all again tomorrow!
@@JonathanReadNELincs Good on you! It's o.k. to take a day off.
better start olympic weightlifting 😡🤣
Jonathan Read keep it up bro, one year for me! Totally worth it
Matt “not too heavy... proceeds to lift the heaviest he’s lifted in 4 years” Fraser 😂
😂😂😂. I was thinking the same thing
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.
Just barely
Was literally thinking the same thing!
So gay
So cool to see you producing content with all these big names having seen the journey from the start. Keep up the great work!
I heard CrossFit Games are going to be renamed as The Fraser Challenge and when you start training you should say "I am going to Frase"
Time to book a trip to VT for the new FRA5ER HQ
Mat and team. You have been a serious inspiration for me after getting into CrossFit. My life and perspective have changed tremendously since becoming a follower. May blessing continue to come our way!
Mat, since my name is also Craig I can go on behalf of him. If you say the word im bringing elk steaks and cigars. 1/1,000,000 chance?
who’s watching this on quarantine?
Yep
@Rico j I would love to workout in Froning's barn for a day --and I don't even do CrossFit
Kevon Trotter. In.
who caRES
Don’t believe the hype. ☝️🥴
Watching Mat train was like was watching an artist paint a mural. It was borderline majestic
I come back to this video regularly. Something about that slow-mo with that music. Get the people goin.
And Mat is just a straight up badass. Love his motivation
Mat seems like the most down to earth guy ever . Fair play to him
This man can’t be broken...inspiration...
Everybody can be broken
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
EDIT: Now officially the greatest CrossFitter of all time

He is incredible, but dont forget rich froning. In fact a lot of matts programming and pace come from froning.
Quite similarly, Froning went 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st. Fraser has won by larger margins most years but Froning won in 2014, which was the only time they competed against each other at the games.

Though Froning's team wins probably make him the all-time greatest all around games competitor in my opinion.
@@aaronthegold I'd agree with you there. I also think Rich is a competitor I would prefer to be over Mat. Mat's moral values don't compare.
@@aaronthegold Anyone who points to 2014 should go back and look at the Games videos, particularly the overhead squat event.

Frasers rest in between huge sets of cleans and jerks are so impressive. I need to breathe for 30 seconds while he's out there taking a 2 second break
anyone here in 2024
Yop
2025 bro 🎉
Mat was born to train. He must be the best barbell cycler I’ve even seen. So comfortable, confident and smooth.
You guys have really hit the big leagues now
Is that you Jermaine? 😉
"There´s no better motivation then being inspired by yourself"!!!!!!!!! WORD!!!!!!
To train like this by yourself you have to be DEDICATED
I heard he edited and posted this video using Kansas WiFi....there is hope for us yet....
Jacob Heppner 😂🤣
Third world middle America problems
@jacobheppner #Trol 😂
Kansas gets slept on, Colorado is right next door!
Too bad Bernie dropped out. He was the only candidate with a high speed internet plan
8:38 This dude out here squatting the rainbow
One of the best videos so far. So inspiring. Keep up the great work
Be your own superhero!
👌🏼sure. Thanks for the video! Such an inspiration!
That dude is just on a different level
Didnt realise he was so humble, new to crossfit and seeing how good he is id of thought he'd carry an Ego. Another great video!
He's the best because he thinks he's the worst. He is never content with his scores
@@matthewh8812 It just seems so surreal, a sport which gets such bad press and you get 2 genuine people like these. I dont get it!
In general, Crossfit athletes are really quite nice. Good community.
I had hardware put in my lower back L4-L5 and am currently dealing with the knee bullshit. When you said "I wasnt square. It went my lower back, then my hip, then my knee". I felt like it was me talking lmao. Im glad to see that it gets better. For me its my hip flexor on my left leg that is doing my knee in.
Wish you'd filmed Mat's tattoos on his right arm longer, really obsessed with those right now!
I loved this clip - such powerful footage for people like me still early on our Crossfit journey. Listening to Matt’s words and watching his form, I really enjoyed this! Thanks Craig and Matt. Keep it up! 💪🏻
This guy is a machine. Absolutely inspires......
“Camera guy” jumps on the bike, takes off his shirt, and whoa! Didn’t realize! 💪🏽!!!
Thanks for the video of your work out Matt helps during lock down to see guys working out since the gym is off limits for now.
His form is perfection
I love watching Mat lift! Those song choices though ... haha Another great vlog team!
Only Fraser would need 6 x 55lb plates in his home gym...
Hahahahaha , I literally thoutgh the same !
Gotta keep those deadlift gains bruh!
Lol! I don’t even have one! 😂
He doesn't though. He just has them probably because they were apart of the set he bought.
FWIW, I think Rogue athletes get a set of plates every year they make it to the Games! (Per a Josh Bridges garage gym walkthrough video.)
Good content, no stupid clickbait title. Congrats and thanks!
Damn Mat is a beast! Your vlogs has come long way, I would like to see some kind of short movie about your journey to this point. Including all the peeps from zack to froning!
7:41 probably the best self motivation quote I’ve heard
I like how he's breezing through this complex with more than my 1rm - makes your feel good... :-/
Watching Matt cycle the heavy barbell and how fast he does it at such a heavy weight is in incredible
The coffee station is great, Mat pulling that shot would be great B-roll :)
That intro with Fraser walking up to the bar as the music starts is so fuckin epic man!!!!
It’s like “Yea you already know what’s going on😎”
his hip mobility is inspiring damn
“Not to heavy today” proceeds to use every single weight he has 😂
I fucking love this human being
I liked the video before it finished loading
It ain’t much but it’s honest work :)
Fraser is KILLIN' it! Form is on point. Looking lean. WAAAAAAAAAATCH O-U-T! This is some Sick Content.
Great to see how Matt talks about "purpose." I couldn't agree more. One has to tackle life with "purpose," or you will be doomed to mediocrity. Thanks, #TEAMRICHEY for all that you do.
What difference does that make? We all end up 6ft under, just enjoy the time you have and don't stress about being "mediocre"
@@u04pww2 Problem is this only gets you so far. Havin a purpose, even small mediocre purpose will help you live a personally meaningful life and not be miserable. Hedonism is generally extremely shortlived. Shorter than you or i will live
Hell ya, just goes to show you you don’t need a fancy box to be a champ. Games 2020 here he comes. Get it Matt!!!
My garage gym is half of Mat’s, but I still can get destroyed by lifting and metcons everyday.
He looks damn clean! Weight loss is visible
Rabdo didn't even stop this man. Rabdo nearly killed me. Had me in the hospital for a week. I tore so many things and I couldn't even move, walk, or even talk.
Looking solid Mat! Sam & Mat are so Humble & Real. This was Great Craig, and love you Jas!
Great video! Sick content as usual guys 😛... Keep going!! Mat is really awesome, such an inspiration 💪🏻
I love the Mat is just WORK no F*+^ing around
What a guy!!! amazing mindset! amazing power!
obama sossa he didn’t say he took anything or didn’t take anything. Steroids are nothing if you don’t train like crazy and work anyway. Quit hating
@@SwingerExtraordinaire They aren't magic. He's a special case regardless.

Wow. Great vid nice to see the natural Matt Fraser. Keep on smashing it guys #HSTLMADE #TEAMRICHEY
Chris Grant natural lol
That dumbbell rack is siiiick!
“Let me feel” by KillRude is the song throughout.
Man, gotta love Mat Fraser!
Having a home gym makes a huge difference to your training progress, I can only wish I have one
Matt has really leaned up from when he 1st started crossfit, amazing transformation to watch through the years
Ratamis Prime "BRO" Gamer hes on that fasting game.
The coffee bar area he has is GOALS
It amazes me how you can have so much muscle and yet have great cardio with strength
natural 9 it’s called steroids
@@larrybird646 why is steroids always the thing to blame... i think some people just work so hard that it makes people feel insecure about their work ethic that they have to try and call everyone else out for cheating
Richey! If you’re ever in Missouri, USA and need a place to stay let me know! Watched your videos for awhile now. Keep up the good work brother.
the hype on this video was real
Eres mi inspiración Mat!! 🇲🇽
Watching Mat train in his home gym I think he’s already got one hand on this years trophy
5:19
"Nehemiah 8:10": he laid down the sledgehammer of wraith and the earth started shivering.
Listening to Upchurch at the end of the vid, nice!
watching after mat announced his retirement 🙋🏻♀️
Incredible!
I feel like other channels are forcing TeamRichey to up the content. Just came off of Kristi Eramos channel, and her edits were crazy good. Keep it up
I'm not a fan of the weird camera angles and cuts every 2 seconds in the editing on her channel. Or the music. The information is solid though.
@@HarryManback0 understandable. It might not be for everybody. But really enjoy when the creators now are putting time and quality in! Info on both of these channels are always good
Notification gang.. I clicked this so fast craig is a real g
The two of you should be talking about when you’re both getting married. Cmon already!!
Great content, always inspiring to see how Mat works!
The song when mat is squatting at around 8.20 is Let Me Feel by Killrude
This mans playlist is immaculate lmao
Love his stocky-pitbull body!
He is really a complete athlete 👍💪
His gym is perfect.
Matt seems lighter yet he is as strong as he's ever been and will get even stronger ...think he has cracked the code
Fresh fade and some dope ink!!!
Best video yet
Sick content as usual! Jas’s laugh though!!
The winner of being best at working out
Class, as always 👌👍💙
I use to be a fan of this show, but after watching this episode I'm an entire air conditioner
“There’s no greater motivation than blowing smoke up your own ass”
Yeahhhh buddy. Lightweight!
WHAT THE HECK??
I've heard MAT FRASER says "not to heavy" at 01:07 and i skipped to 06:07 he is lifting 4times my body weight 😂😂
This technic just great
Upchurch playing in the background, nice!
The sickest of content. Great vid.
7:41 Facts
the first song fraser played from his phone is Great Heights by Caamp!
I would like to hear from him why he wears his knees sleeves on his calves almost all the time in lifting and squatting.
To stop the bar shredding his shins.......
2:05 , “if you wanna be the best weightlifter” yeah because Lasha Talakhadze does curling 😂
Awesome video 😄
The song list on this video is awesome could you give a list of the songs?
Such a snap to every movement power power I don’t think my barbell ever makes those noises in my hands
Mat working out in his garage with two guys watching and filming it.
If this question has been answered I do apologise. The weights Mat is using say CrossFit games 2017, were these given/earned when he won the games, or did he ask for them?
