Matt Fraser is so sloppy in his reps you can hardly count anyone of it to be truly acceptable. Literally gives the minimum form to get the reps counted for and throws his body to the next excercise
Kevin Nguyen if the competition is quality of the exercise then u have a point. But the competition is awarding speed and efficiency. So Matt is not sloppy, he has just found a way to win.
Nah , rich is better than matt fraser , you know why cuz mentally and physically he's better , he's the goat , matt fraser win in 2016 cuz rich was in team
Just so you all know. CrossFit was created for Special Forces Units that needed to be in top shape, just in case they got into any kind of situation. I am in the Army, and CrossFit applies to me 100%. If it helps me run countless miles and still have enough energy to do workouts (the running translates into "theres no evac and you gotta run / ruck 20 miles back to the fob, and energy for the workouts translates into I have enough energy to kill the enemy at any moment, or save my battle" then I am in good enough shape for any situation. CrossFit is about being in awesome shape.
Same here, my man. I'm in the Navy and worked in the Special Ops (not special warfare... I wasn't a SEAL) community for a few years. CrossFit made me ready for action, and I could do it almost anywhere when I was overseas.
***** there will always be a human element involved in the front lines of war. Additionally, people will always strive to better themselves physically. CrossFit has proven time and time again that is as good as it gets for conditioning for the unknown, that it is why it is so widely accepted in the spec ops community.
"We might not see another Rich Froning for another hundred years once the kid has come and gone." One year later Matt Fraser blows his competition by a margin Froning never touched.
@@ThulungRai95 Clearly you don't know the backstory. Matt Fraser didn't win because he wasn't trying (and he basically says as much) - it wasn't until he lost to Ben Smith that Fraser was extremely motivated to change his approach. But in terms of raw potential - Matt was by far the better athlete.
@@Graham-Christian you may be right..but raw potential is not enough to win a competition...it doesn't matter if fraser gave his 50 or his 100...he was there just like rich and he clearly knew it was a test of his fitness and he lost...sorry to say but your argument doesn't have any point. One could argue that any of the athletes would have won had it been another situation . But we can't have a 100 first places. In that day in that situation Rich froning beat Mat Fraser. Next year Ben smith beat Mat. Then Mat won 5 times.Thats what happened
@@max_497 I wasn't saying that at that specific time Matt could have beat Froning. You don't understand my argument. My argument is that by volume of wins - Matt was the better athlete having won 5 crossfit games with a higher point average than the 4 crossfit games froning won. In other words, Matt has a better performance average over time to such a degree we can have more statistical confidence in his ability as an athlete.
@@Graham-Christian first of all you gotta understand something. unless two athletes compete at a same competition in the same circumstances we can't really say who is the better one.we can't truly compare pele and cr7 or bradman and sachin but we could compare messi and ronaldo to an extent.rich started competing in 2010 when CrossFit didn't have a massive audience and fame like today and there were not much strategic plays back then .matt started in 2014 when he had a clear picture of the crossfit and a living example who won it 4 times already.matt had advantage over froning when he reigned champion from 2016 but then again there was less competition in 2010 so its not really a good idea to compare them based on their champion trophies but a better idea to compare when they competed together. so if that's the case we both know froning was better . And if you don't know the whole back story back in 2010 froning was miles ahead of everyone else and was sure to be the champion. He only came second because he didn't knew the technique of rope climbing not because of lack pure raw strength. if that's not enough for you based your statistics froning was on the podium 10 times he was a champion 9 times . I am not saying one is better than the other. Both of em had their moments but for the sake of the argument if u wanna really know who is better make them go against each other in the same stage and see who wins...oh no wait a minute it already happened 🙊 and Rich Froning won...💪
Wow, I miss watching that man compete as an individual. He's one of the all time greats in my eyes. That kind of dominance is going to be near impossible to match in this sport.
Brandon Walrecht Fraser will do well this year and maybe for a long time! But he will never be as dominant as Froning. Froning showed consistently that he was the best. Even just after a year of CrossFit and also against Fraser.
Man I sort of miss the days of Rich's dominance. Matt is begining his reign of dominance but to me he doesnt seem to exude that same fear into his competitors, perhaps it is because its early days yet. But looking at this video and others, you could tell majority of the athletes going agaisnt rich just knew they couldn't beat him. They were already going into competition defeated because they were in awe of Rich. What a beast he was, and still is! Imagine if he comes back to individual!? **EDIT In this vid Josh Bridges seems the only one who believes he could
Thank you, finally someone understands. As i said i live for weightlifting and i live for crossfit, if you truly love something and work your ass off to the point where you just want to curl up into a ball and sleep for 3 days straight like i do, you'll amaze yourself at what you can accomplish.
How do you beat Rich Froning ... you don't if you think that way. Every one of these elite athletes said how they are concerned about him & yet Rich does not obsess with thoughts about whether people are going to beat him. First & foremost you make yourself a winner & forget about everyone & everything else. It is *only* about personal achievement, raising your own bar & giving it your all - he said it at .45 that is what I believe Rich does & the results followed. Bottom line - you gotta want it.
For anyone trying to beat Froning, setting him up on a pedestal is a mistake in and of itself. Any man; on any given day, with enough training, nutrition rest and drive can achieve their own goals, no matter what that may be. Yes, Froning is a beast. But there are other beasts, stronger ones too.
what a beast, everyone's talking about him... whenever uve reached that level of respect and psyche then one knows you're something special! i'm mainly a bodybuilder but i'm very functional and ripped to shreds naturally but I personally wouldn't train full time with crossfit for various reasons
because they are so arrogant to claim to be the fittest people, yet how do you define fitness? If you are so arrogant to claim to be something then you are open to criticism
Maybe the put it on the top like the cleanest and best sport that males you the fittest person on earth.. But its actually just another money making shit even thou its go to get people workong out again
Josh Bridges always says: " I can't think or worry about Rich", he also criticised Jason Khalipas's "Whats Rich doing?" Shirt... but it seems to me that he is actually the one more affected by Rich's performances and the fact that he still hasn't beaten him. Im a fan of both, but thats what it seems like to me.
Owen - With his genetics, you need steroids to look like him. His father likely has less than 100lbs of lean muscle mass. His size is 100% thanks to steroids.
People who say negative comments about rich or crossfit athlete using PED, most likely never tried crossfit and how hard each athlete works to be well rounded. To be accused of using PED without proof, is not just unfair but it is also insulting. I didnt like crossfit and I thought it's stupid until I tried it, I thought I was fit, but I never been completely wrong. These people , especially the top athlete in the games, they train day in... day out, eat healthy and rest to exceed their last performance. So, I would think twice to say negative comment about these athletes or any athlete in that matter, because we just dont know the work they do behind the scene. Thank you, God Bless!
Ty Louis They also test in every pro sports, and no athlete ever gets caught. They only get told on. Not taking anything away from anyone, I love to believe athletes are all drug free. But too put it into perspective, Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees was taking testosterone before games, and had a drug stack the size of a shopping list, and he didn't fail a drug test. Although to be honest, almost anyone can pull off what Rich does, he's not close to breaking world records in any of the big lifts, he just so happens to be better than any of the competitors at all of them.
Very good point Joe I always like to look for the best in these guys,and hope they don't do any enhancing drugs,but I'm not ignorant to the obvious advantage it offers,and some may decide to use them.That being said Rich is not some powerful monster world record breaker, but he does exhibit extreme strength endurance which could be viewed as steroid use,but I like to think he's just genetically superior or at least I hope.
Add agility in their competition and put actual athletes in he event. Crossfit is advertised as being well rounded but I don't see any agility competitions or really any sprint competitions. Add a few more things to the competition that actually promotes a well rounded athlete and see what you get.
yeah i get what youre saying....but it is good to see the crossfit games incorporate all these different types of events to get an all around athlete, but probably why the college track and football athletes excelled at these in the games.
Fair to say that every person in that video is a "professional CrossFitter." Chan, Spealler, Khalipa, and Froning all have their own gyms (though IIRC when Rich first won the Games he was still an assistant strength coach at Middle Tennessee State). So like most professional athletes, their lives revolve around their sport.
whats the point of crossfit ?.. can they win tour de france or some weightlifting competition if they are fittest men on earth ?... or is this all just for endless pointless workouts sake .. anyway.. no question about them being fit and strong people...they would probably make great manual labourers...
Could a tour de france rider or weightlifter win something not in their discipline? 99.9% of people who do crossfit do it to be better at everything else they do in life. the .01% in this video make a living doing it so there's the point.
JP fair nuff... and respect to those at top of crossfit.. no question about that... its probably just those crowds of assholes and hipsters all around crossfit.. with a lot of shouting and fitness bullshit flying around... maybe you find those at all sports.. i am in armwrestling circuit and must say not as many a-holes... but if normal chap sees me training for armwrestling he would say i am complete fucktard doing excersises that are futile and bullshit.. nice example is.. check video of multiple world armwreslting champion Wagner Bortolato training... shitloads of comments calling him idiot ... little these ppl know how efficient all these exceresises are.. well for armwrestling of course.. peace and thanks for reasonable response ! /MrJohnyMnemonic
THEY do win a weightlifting competition... its just make a little reserch about crossfit... or do it, the point is be better in life, even a better person, aa crossfitter is good at multiple things (sports/movements) not just in one are of the "fitness/sports" world. CONSTANTLY VARIED HIGH INTENSITY MOVEMENTS. just sayin
***** I'm sorry but arm wrestling? thats the gayest "sport" since curling wtf dude how do you think you have any right to talk down on a style of fitness whats wrong with you..
Flex Richter depending on point of view.. at least its pretty straigtforward and i agree it´s a sport no one gives a shit about and i often ask myself why i am doing it at age of 33 where every training is fucking my tendons up little bit more.. well.. maybe cuz it can be really hardcore, try watching Taras Ivakin vs. Devon Larrat match here on youtube man :) cheers. /MrJohnyMnemonic
man i do thai/kickboxing fights and i started with crossfit because its akin like our boxing workouts but i wanna do some different and i had done the fran. i needed 15minutes for the shit and saw a video were rich fronin did it in 3 minutes. this guys are fit and strong as fuck unbelievable
Any one who thinks these guys are natty is a fool. Anyone who thinks that being on gear means these guys are not busting your ass day in and day out is a bigger fool.
A bit stupid, but motivating. Just repeating "How do you beat?", well you train, you evolven in your mind first then your body follows, then when you feel ready, you step in and try to show the best inside of you. Everyone has something good inside of them, they just have to remove the barriers they set, usually by laziness and pain. Was I the only guy also expecting him to do stuff such as surfing, skating, giving money to homeless, diving to save sharks from fishing nets and high-fiving them? As I said I ain't a crossfit guy, I train to spend my energy, get better and fighting everyday stress purpose, but that was a bit overselling the guy :D Rich, the generations diamond.
for all those people out there who talk about crossfit not being a real sport. the sport is about getting physically fit and to become a well-rounded fit human being. the skills you learn in crossfit can be adapted easier to other sports. now look at somebody whos bodybuilding. he might look bigger and stronger, but he only trained the same movements over and over again without getting that well-rounded skills to transfer to any other sport. crossfitters can swim, run, row, do gymnastic stuff (rings) handstand walks and all that stuff. being amazing and the best in one discipline is a lot easier than being pretty good in any discipline. its also about dedication and determination. how many of you haters talking shit in the comments, actually get up at 5 am, train your body, go to work, managing your family. you got to give rich froning a lot of credit. hes a hard working man
Test of fitness is how quickly your body can recover, anyone can run 3 mile and be completely fine the next day, trying doing what these athletes do then you'll know what I'm talking about.
For all you guys that say they can't run or swim. try watching the games they start off with a triathlon but with variations. they use multiple sports in the games and they take the overall best as the winner.
Athlete: a person who is proficient in sports or other forms of exercise. He is an athlete and he is the absolute best at what he does. Enough said. He is undefeated in the games, region
Phyllis Corey you're seriously picking on bicep curls? Ah right I forgot, effectiveness is a bad thing to crossfiters. If it works it must be bad! Get your head out of your ass.
oh yeah thats right, i forgot that you have seen them go head to head against one another involving a cardiovascular challenge, just because dmitry doesnt run around in the crossfit games does not mean he is not a superior athlete to froning. He is.
nicolas white Are you saying that the value of an athlete is measured by his snatch max? So, Micheal Phelps and Usain Bolt would be inferior to klokov even though their accomplishments are much better? Take in consideration that Klokov is only top three athlete in weightlifting, if even that. On the other hand Froning is the best crossfitter in the world. Of course there is more competition in weightlifting, but still. How do you compare two athletes from different sports ?
@@jamx97 the same as someone shot pacquiao's head with a gun. We are talking about sports. I bet Rich can beat Pacquiao in crossfit as he is beaten in boxing.
Rich Froning is a beast. Not to just feed into the hype, from what I have seen he is extremely humble and obviously hardworking. I could not say 100% positively that him or any other Crossfitter is steroid-free, and with today's plethora of PEDs that can go undetected (without noticeable symptoms) it seems that it would not be too hard to get away with it. BUT I am strongly dedicated to working out and would really hope that someone as recognized and well-liked as Rich has not been lured into those shenanigans...From what I can tell his body is not disproportionate or far-fetched from a natural looking physique, but again there are ways around the side effects unfortunately. On another note, Crossfit is exactly how they word it: Various functioning movements at high intensity in the shortest amount of time possible (cycling, swimming, running, weightlifting, even swinging a hammer over and over, and etc.). It is a mixture of all of those things. What I am trying to say to those naysayers is that: NO they are not the best cyclists or swimmers or weightlifters...but they train to become the best at ALL OF THE ABOVE AND MORE. To sound preachy, they specialize in being unspecialized. Sorry for the rant:[
I hate when I see comments like "just use more steroids," or "wait till black guys participate." It completely discounts the hard work and effort that these athletes put into this. Even if steroids were a factor, it doesn't make the person magically better at the sport. And more steroids doesn't equal better results. Lastly, saying that a black person would automatically be better at a sport is like saying a white guy is going to always be more intelligent. It's just plain racist and ignorant.
But there are racial differences. It's in fact the opposite of ignorant. Black guys tend to average higher testosterone. And steroids, literally, do make you magically better at the sport. They reduce recovery time, remove natural limitations of muscle growth & improve strength and hence, make you magically better at the sport.
imthehulk666 I wasn't saying that steroids aren't effective, obviously. I'm saying that you can't sit on your ass, inject a bunch of roids, and magically be the best at a sport. I have heard that black guys have higher testosterone, but I've never actually seen any scientific proof of that. I do know that there was a muscle fiber test of long distance runners years ago that showed that some of the blacks had a little different slow twitch muscle fibers. I'm in a graduate Biochemistry program so this stuff interest me. Anyways, my whole point was that you can't undermine these athletes hard work by saying basically that any black guy or roid head off the street would beat them. That doesn't give these guys any justice and makes it seem pointless for them to even try.
Out of personal experience crossfit is by far the most challenging way to workout. I've tried bodybuilding, I've powerlifted for months.. but just by ''trying'' to train as intensive as these guys it's just kiliing my entire body. My body and muscles feel so sore after a few weeks that I have to go back to 60 sec breaks between sets and the usual 8-12 reps.
I see your point, but personally I would rather be a great all round athlete than able to do one thing crazy well. I find it more impressive to win an event like the CF Games than say, a bench press competition. I'm sure whoever wins one of those would be much better at benching than RF, but all the rest makes up for that.
If all the haters would train as hard as these guys they could see their body change into something amazing, but isn't it easier to call people cheaters with your fat mouth full of McDonald's food and trying to feel less like a loser.
***** Did I say I do crossfit? I respect the dedication that these athletes perform at and for people to assume they are cheating. Don't take my words out of context and turn it into something to make yourself feel better. Do I think you're a poser of a youtube hater? Yes, and do I think you're one of the D-bags I was talking about? yes of course.
i just finished reading rich's book "first: what it takes to win" and in it he talks about PEDs, etc. he insists he doesn't use any of these things, and because he strikes me as a man of integrity, i believe him. if you don't believe anyone can accomplish these things without steroids, it says a lot about what you believe you're personally capable of. maybe crossfit just isn't for you.
I'm glad you enjoyed my comment, thats what it was intended to do. I hope others find it entertaining as well. Thanks for being a good sport! Come on people lets give a round of applause to little hercules. And his testicle disappearing act. This show was made possible by "PROGENX" Side effects include a loss of testis but a 315 lb dead lift gain.
Rich Froning is passionated about his career. He doesn't see it as a "work-out".... It's his lifestyle, he's passionate about it with...mind, body and soul..his Faith that is tattooed on his side: Galatians 6;14 tattoo,
Regardless of your stance on religion I would not ignore the strength of his faith. He claims that when working his hardest, and feels like quitting, his faith pulls him through. Undeniably the sum result of his athleticism and strength are a combination of the myriad of elements that compose it, with faith being the foundation from which he claims to draw his motivational strength. This component is an undeniable factor in what makes Rich who he is.
i think cross fit has a bad rep because it's where all the fat kids and people who are doing cross fit to tell people they're doing cross fit go. I mean this guy is first place in the world and his physique is life half of steve cooks or greg plitts
johhny mcwangy hahaha ouu myy goood you're sooo pathetic guys:D:D crossfit is not about body physique and good looking... its about strength, fitness and endurance and these ''incorrect pull ups'' are not about strength, its about how many times you can pull your body up in the fastest way... honestly - i pity you for your ignorance...
Jason Cross Its about strenght and fitness? So why they do it in incorrect way, which dont rise your strenght as good as proper way and put you in risk of contusion? Crossfit is for retards.
Jason Cross yes but do you truly believe these cross fit kids are stronger than weight lifters like phil heath or cali muscle? you also need to calm down, there's no need to pity anyone
Jason Cross It's true: crossfit has always been a functional activity, not purely aesthetic or purely strength training. However, sacrificing proper mechanics for a new PR can make even the strongest bodybuilders and strongmen cringe. Eventually you have to come to terms with the damage being done, whether mental from improper teaching methods or physical from improper form, down the road.
Steve Ornelas Because it isn't NEW. It's using Oly lifts and excluding other PROVEN lifts that do increase strenght and fitness. The only thing that has really evolved fitness is the actual gear we have available today, like isolation machines and the such; and better understanding on how the body works; wich by the way, Paleo dieting is not optimal for fitness. Maybe you think crossfit invented and developed all of their excercises? and the other thing; going against the grain isn't always a "new" way. Why haven't you tried for example, Mike Mentzer's High intensity training? that one goes COMPLETELY against the stablishment, train less, harder, once a week and see real gains; now that is something hard to do, untrain yourself from doing 4 routines a day and just excercise for 10-15 minutes for strenght and then do cardio the rest of the week. you ever tried it? if you haven't, do it; then you will too join everybody else in mocking crossfit.
Rich is the number 1 in crossfit I no you are not impressed by him .but he is just the beginning.look at UFC Gracie was good some point but other athletes. Has surpassed that then again UFC is like a whole bunch a little girls hugging each other when boxing proves to be the price ring One day you'll see an athlete a real athlete that'll will prove you wrong
Water McMelon funny how any boxer wouldnt even last a minute against anyone with even a few months of mixed martial arts. Ali and tyson both said they would have been mma fighters had it been around earlier.
You don’t beat rich frowning. You wait until he retires. Rich frowning retired from individual CrossFit games this is why Matt Fraser is number one for past two years
BebehCookieIcecream If you don't believe this guy can do a pull up, look up his workout videos. He's repping out strict, dead-hang pull ups with 50+ lbs of chains on him. And that's after benching, rowing, etc etc etc.
But after Lance Armstrong, no one at top level events is immune from haters and doubters. Going so long without being caught. People can't be viewed negatively for the doubts. Top level people just get on with it without the opinions of others affecting them. As Rich would. Only he knows the truth. Kudos to anyone at the top.
Steroids is an excuse lazy people use when they see a guy in the shape they want to be in. Seriously theres something called hard work and dedication it takes those 2 things to reach the goal you want to reach and if you dont have either one thats your problem. Btw for steroids to even work you have to lift 3 times your bodyweight and Crossfit isnt powerlifting.
studies show you gain more muscle on roids doing nothing then you do naturally while working out, just something for you guys to think about, I'm not saying anyone is on roids, I'm not saying guys on roids don't work hard but just think about that...
Dreadstroke Youre a fucking idiot, I was going to explain to you why youre so wrong but somebody as stupid as you could never understand. Go watch a bodybuilder train and then tell me you train as hard as those guys and put so much effort and meticulous detail in your diet. Better yet don't even bother telling me, cause I know you don't, clown.Youre the typically lazy scumbag who thinks steroids are magic and shooting up makes you a champion. Fuck off.
MetMetification You're the fucking idiot. Why the hell would your body benefit from all the protein you can take in a day if you don't stress out your muscles so that they rebuild themselves with the protein you ingested? Because that's what he's saying. Muscles develop from work. Be it with steroids or not, working out is the only constant of the equation.
The studies are out there it's proven that you can actually gain a lot of muscle on steroids simply by doing nothing, obviously eating will provide protein and carbs but the steroids induce the growth which in turn uses the protein, maybe ill send you a link when you calm down, secondly I've been around the bodybuilding and powerlifting scene for a while, guys like Kai, Arnold, Ronnie are my idols don't think I disrespect bodybuilders you guys always twist people's words, if you went on steroids you'd see More growth then ever before, you wouldn't ever be pro standard though without hardwork, steroids get them to the level where they can compete then the real pros put in the rest of the hard work, like it or not it's the truth.
The study showed and this has been quoted many times and is official that a group Who worked out naturally gained 4 lbs of muscle over 10 weeks on average the group on steroids who didn't work out gained 7 lbs of muscle and the group who worked out and took steroids gained 14 lbs of muscle and no insulting will Change these facts, I have no problem with steroids just don't deceive people, I have considered them myself at one time so am no way a anti steroid person, Infact I'm for steroids in pro bodybuilding. I don't deny the hardworking or dedication of pros but some people have to open their eyes and realise the difference they make and no muscles don't necessarily benefit from work if a substance such as steroids induces growth that growth doesn't necessarily have to come from working out but I explained that before.
The development of strict calisthenics was for muscular development, if you're going to make those movements as easy as possible without external help then kipping, bringing in the arms and using the back are all factors that should be considered rather than isolating the back. This is like saying "How do you beat Usain Bolt in sprints? Make it a 5 mile race" - he isn't training to be the best at isolating his back.
he was probably the undisputed of all time. unfortunatly he stops individual. but i think matt fraser was (even if froning beat him in 2014) his best opponent.
jim jones there's absolutely no proof that he's on seething so that's a moot point. Point your anger towards know and proven OED users like Lance armstrong. Who lied and cheated.
+Lordraw85 no he doesn't. go look at body builders, if you think these crossfitters are anywhere near that big you need to get your eyes checked. And yes they get drug tested a lot with no warnings. look at top level gymnasts and they look about the same as top crossfitters and U.S. gymnasts are tested constantly.
+Lordraw85 they arent getting carbon isotope ratio tests, which you can not fake. Thats the test Armstrong finally got caught with. The normal drug tests that Armstrong was passing with ease are the same ones that the crossfitters get. Theyre a joke really.
No, worlds strongest man can run... But I agree with you Sam K. Why is this terrible? It's more human that the world strongest man contest, more adaptable.
Is it human, as in innate? Or is it human, as in created? Nothing is innate except for survival, and Crossfit doesnt mimic it in it's simplicity. Survival is simple because it is driven by need. Crossfit is driven by lack of need.
Mark Henry is still technically the Worlds strongest man. His 3 lift record ( squat, bench press, and deadlift ) has never been beaten. And he is a natural athlete that has been tested dozens of times. He may be older - but roids or not - guys have not beaten his record.

Just so you all know. CrossFit was created for Special Forces Units that needed to be in top shape, just in case they got into any kind of situation. I am in the Army, and CrossFit applies to me 100%. If it helps me run countless miles and still have enough energy to do workouts (the running translates into "theres no evac and you gotta run / ruck 20 miles back to the fob, and energy for the workouts translates into I have enough energy to kill the enemy at any moment, or save my battle" then I am in good enough shape for any situation. CrossFit is about being in awesome shape.
Exactly...General Physical Preparedness. Sometimes this aspect seems to get put on the back burner sometimes.
Same here, my man. I'm in the Navy and worked in the Special Ops (not special warfare... I wasn't a SEAL) community for a few years. CrossFit made me ready for action, and I could do it almost anywhere when I was overseas.
***** there will always be a human element involved in the front lines of war. Additionally, people will always strive to better themselves physically. CrossFit has proven time and time again that is as good as it gets for conditioning for the unknown, that it is why it is so widely accepted in the spec ops community.
Oh, I have an idea...and I also have a tad bit of military knowledge as well.

But froning beat fraser while he was competing at the crossfit games?
@@ThulungRai95 Clearly you don't know the backstory. Matt Fraser didn't win because he wasn't trying (and he basically says as much) - it wasn't until he lost to Ben Smith that Fraser was extremely motivated to change his approach. But in terms of raw potential - Matt was by far the better athlete.

My argument is that by volume of wins - Matt was the better athlete having won 5 crossfit games with a higher point average than the 4 crossfit games froning won. In other words, Matt has a better performance average over time to such a degree we can have more statistical confidence in his ability as an athlete.
@@Graham-Christian first of all you gotta understand something. unless two athletes compete at a same competition in the same circumstances we can't really say who is the better one.we can't truly compare pele and cr7 or bradman and sachin but we could compare messi and ronaldo to an extent.rich started competing in 2010 when CrossFit didn't have a massive audience and fame like today and there were not much strategic plays back then .matt started in 2014 when he had a clear picture of the crossfit and a living example who won it 4 times already.matt had advantage over froning when he reigned champion from 2016 but then again there was less competition in 2010 so its not really a good idea to compare them based on their champion trophies but a better idea to compare when they competed together. so if that's the case we both know froning was better . And if you don't know the whole back story back in 2010 froning was miles ahead of everyone else and was sure to be the champion. He only came second because he didn't knew the technique of rope climbing not because of lack pure raw strength. if that's not enough for you based your statistics froning was on the podium 10 times he was a champion 9 times . I am not saying one is better than the other. Both of em had their moments but for the sake of the argument if u wanna really know who is better make them go against each other in the same stage and see who wins...oh no wait a minute it already happened 🙊 and Rich Froning won...💪
Wow, I miss watching that man compete as an individual. He's one of the all time greats in my eyes. That kind of dominance is going to be near impossible to match in this sport.
Fraser is coming mark my words
Brandon Walrecht Fraser will do well this year and maybe for a long time! But he will never be as dominant as Froning. Froning showed consistently that he was the best. Even just after a year of CrossFit and also against Fraser.
Saljanpal you should have waited till the 2016 games before you said that
+saljanpal well, a few months later... Fraser was way more dominant in 2016 games than Froning never was. Owned
He’s still competing not as an individual but definitely in a team check him out from this year .
Man I sort of miss the days of Rich's dominance. Matt is begining his reign of dominance but to me he doesnt seem to exude that same fear into his competitors, perhaps it is because its early days yet. But looking at this video and others, you could tell majority of the athletes going agaisnt rich just knew they couldn't beat him. They were already going into competition defeated because they were in awe of Rich. What a beast he was, and still is! Imagine if he comes back to individual!?
**EDIT
In this vid Josh Bridges seems the only one who believes he could
After seeing this vid, I'm now convinced he's the best exerciser in the world. Props bro.
lol ok
I was a master of crossfit when I was a 6 yr/ol in the kiddie park, eventually I got out for bigger challenges.......
Dr. teamflyer Same here.I remember those days i was at the park,on the money bars thinking i knew how to do a pull up.Similar to these guys.
Thank you, finally someone understands. As i said i live for weightlifting and i live for crossfit, if you truly love something and work your ass off to the point where you just want to curl up into a ball and sleep for 3 days straight like i do, you'll amaze yourself at what you can accomplish.
How do you beat Rich Froning ... you don't if you think that way. Every one of these elite athletes said how they are concerned about him & yet Rich does not obsess with thoughts about whether people are going to beat him.
First & foremost you make yourself a winner & forget about everyone & everything else. It is *only* about personal achievement, raising your own bar & giving it your all - he said it at .45 that is what I believe Rich does & the results followed.
Bottom line - you gotta want it.
For anyone trying to beat Froning, setting him up on a pedestal is a mistake in and of itself. Any man; on any given day, with enough training, nutrition rest and drive can achieve their own goals, no matter what that may be. Yes, Froning is a beast. But there are other beasts, stronger ones too.
The first step to beating Rich Froning would be to stop giving him an omnipotent homoerotic aura.
So this is "real cross fit", these guys are amazing athletes! I am so use to seeing the "fail" poseur compilations it is cool to see the real deal!
Crossfit is great. It makes you feel like an athlete.
haha yeah it's for people who couldn't be real athletes, so they create a strange sport
@@dingalingdingdong_123 bet you cant even lift 1 kg
No one even knew about Matt at that time.
Now - King has taken the throne.
"There's no strategy, you just...beat 'em!"
what a beast, everyone's talking about him... whenever uve reached that level of respect and psyche then one knows you're something special! i'm mainly a bodybuilder but i'm very functional and ripped to shreds naturally but I personally wouldn't train full time with crossfit for various reasons
Well, you don't beat him by doing crossfit training, that's for sure.
Sam Smith agreed.
#TEAM TRUMP outside the box!😂
this guy is Greatness !! like Bruce Lee , Sugar ray,Arnold
Why is there so much hate on cross fit i mean everyone is hating on crossfit. Like I go gym like i have started but i dont get the hate really
they struggle to get up from the couch
Yeh but obviously if he had more time they would do proper pull ups?
because they are so arrogant to claim to be the fittest people, yet how do you define fitness? If you are so arrogant to claim to be something then you are open to criticism
Maybe the put it on the top like the cleanest and best sport that males you the fittest person on earth.. But its actually just another money making shit even thou its go to get people workong out again
Josh Bridges always says: " I can't think or worry about Rich", he also criticised Jason Khalipas's "Whats Rich doing?" Shirt... but it seems to me that he is actually the one more affected by Rich's performances and the fact that he still hasn't beaten him. Im a fan of both, but thats what it seems like to me.
How to beat Rich Froning?
Challenge him to a foot race.
Apparently Matt Frasier finally figured it out... Well done fella.. :)
beating rich is not hard, you just gotta eat Clen, Tren hard, Test your limits, DBOLish your goals and Anavar give up :D
Ryan Ferns I hope your taking about using steroids for performance, because you don't need steroids to look like him.
Owen - With his genetics, you need steroids to look like him. His father likely has less than 100lbs of lean muscle mass. His size is 100% thanks to steroids.
Ξβ
his traps are small and they are the biggest steroids receptors. He is clean. Just don't be a jealous bitch and get off your couch.
Connor Lipke he trains like a fucking animal. That’s why he looks like he does. Get off the couch and maybe you’ll look like him one day
People who say negative comments about rich or crossfit athlete using PED, most likely never tried crossfit and how hard each athlete works to be well rounded. To be accused of using PED without proof, is not just unfair but it is also insulting. I didnt like crossfit and I thought it's stupid until I tried it, I thought I was fit, but I never been completely wrong. These people , especially the top athlete in the games, they train day in... day out, eat healthy and rest to exceed their last performance. So, I would think twice to say negative comment about these athletes or any athlete in that matter, because we just dont know the work they do behind the scene. Thank you, God Bless!
do they test these guys?
Well that's a relief haha thanks for responding
Ty Louis They also test in every pro sports, and no athlete ever gets caught. They only get told on. Not taking anything away from anyone, I love to believe athletes are all drug free. But too put it into perspective, Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees was taking testosterone before games, and had a drug stack the size of a shopping list, and he didn't fail a drug test.
Although to be honest, almost anyone can pull off what Rich does, he's not close to breaking world records in any of the big lifts, he just so happens to be better than any of the competitors at all of them.
Very good point Joe I always like to look for the best in these guys,and hope they don't do any enhancing drugs,but I'm not ignorant to the obvious advantage it offers,and some may decide to use them.That being said Rich is not some powerful monster world record breaker, but he does exhibit extreme strength endurance which could be viewed as steroid use,but I like to think he's just genetically superior or at least I hope.
and what are you the best at?
Joe Bill they all look like they take some kind of test booster.
CROSSFIT... Look at me I can make shit up and become champion of doing a week's worth of workouts in one hour!
But hey, these are some fit folks for sure.
"week's worth of workouts in one hour"
Froning do over 5 workouts each day
Add agility in their competition and put actual athletes in he event. Crossfit is advertised as being well rounded but I don't see any agility competitions or really any sprint competitions. Add a few more things to the competition that actually promotes a well rounded athlete and see what you get.
wasnt their a sprint event in the 2013 games?
Gabriel Rodarte Anyone can run a straight line. There can be actual agility events.
It wasnt a straight line, they had to zig zag and cut in and around multiple obstacles, which is an agility event also used by other athletes.
Gabriel Rodarte Fair enough. Just that when I was doing crossfit I never did an agility workout.
yeah i get what youre saying....but it is good to see the crossfit games incorporate all these different types of events to get an all around athlete, but probably why the college track and football athletes excelled at these in the games.
Fair to say that every person in that video is a "professional CrossFitter." Chan, Spealler, Khalipa, and Froning all have their own gyms (though IIRC when Rich first won the Games he was still an assistant strength coach at Middle Tennessee State). So like most professional athletes, their lives revolve around their sport.
What music is playing in video? (viola)
You'll get use to it eventually dude don't worry. It's hard coming from a background like that to something as intense and demanding as crossfit.
whats the point of crossfit ?.. can they win tour de france or some weightlifting competition if they are fittest men on earth ?... or is this all just for endless pointless workouts sake ..
anyway.. no question about them being fit and strong people...they would probably make great manual labourers...
Could a tour de france rider or weightlifter win something not in their discipline? 99.9% of people who do crossfit do it to be better at everything else they do in life. the .01% in this video make a living doing it so there's the point.
JP fair nuff... and respect to those at top of crossfit.. no question about that...
its probably just those crowds of assholes and hipsters all around crossfit.. with a lot of shouting and fitness bullshit flying around... maybe you find those at all sports.. i am in armwrestling circuit and must say not as many a-holes...
but if normal chap sees me training for armwrestling he would say i am complete fucktard doing excersises that are futile and bullshit.. nice example is.. check video of multiple world armwreslting champion Wagner Bortolato training... shitloads of comments calling him idiot ... little these ppl know how efficient all these exceresises are.. well for armwrestling of course..
peace and thanks for reasonable response !
/MrJohnyMnemonic
THEY do win a weightlifting competition... its just make a little reserch about crossfit... or do it, the point is be better in life, even a better person, aa crossfitter is good at multiple things (sports/movements) not just in one are of the "fitness/sports" world. CONSTANTLY VARIED HIGH INTENSITY MOVEMENTS. just sayin
***** I'm sorry but arm wrestling? thats the gayest "sport" since curling wtf dude how do you think you have any right to talk down on a style of fitness whats wrong with you..
Flex Richter depending on point of view.. at least its pretty straigtforward and i agree it´s a sport no one gives a shit about and i often ask myself why i am doing it at age of 33 where every training is fucking my tendons up little bit more.. well.. maybe cuz it can be really hardcore, try watching Taras Ivakin vs. Devon Larrat match here on youtube man :)
cheers.
/MrJohnyMnemonic
man i do thai/kickboxing fights and i started with crossfit because its akin like our boxing workouts but i wanna do some different and i had done the fran. i needed 15minutes for the shit and saw a video were rich fronin did it in 3 minutes. this guys are fit and strong as fuck unbelievable
The best athletes are in real professional sports. They make millions and have no need to pursuit this endeavor.
I probably restarted the video at 2:46 about 100 times. That is awesome.
Any one who thinks these guys are natty is a fool. Anyone who thinks that being on gear means these guys are not busting your ass day in and day out is a bigger fool.
A bit stupid, but motivating. Just repeating "How do you beat?", well you train, you evolven in your mind first then your body follows, then when you feel ready, you step in and try to show the best inside of you. Everyone has something good inside of them, they just have to remove the barriers they set, usually by laziness and pain.
Was I the only guy also expecting him to do stuff such as surfing, skating, giving money to homeless, diving to save sharks from fishing nets and high-fiving them? As I said I ain't a crossfit guy, I train to spend my energy, get better and fighting everyday stress purpose, but that was a bit overselling the guy :D
Rich, the generations diamond.
You may not see another rich froning for another 100 years.... oh really? Mat Fraser says hello lawl
Rich frowning beat Matt Fraser multiple times. Froning Retired that’s why Matt Fraser is number one now.
for all those people out there who talk about crossfit not being a real sport. the sport is about getting physically fit and to become a well-rounded fit human being. the skills you learn in crossfit can be adapted easier to other sports. now look at somebody whos bodybuilding. he might look bigger and stronger, but he only trained the same movements over and over again without getting that well-rounded skills to transfer to any other sport. crossfitters can swim, run, row, do gymnastic stuff (rings) handstand walks and all that stuff. being amazing and the best in one discipline is a lot easier than being pretty good in any discipline. its also about dedication and determination. how many of you haters talking shit in the comments, actually get up at 5 am, train your body, go to work, managing your family. you got to give rich froning a lot of credit. hes a hard working man
Kevin Deniz Except to be a well-rounded fit human being. You would need to be able to run a few miles without passing out like these guys.
Crossfit doesn't prepare you to play any real sports. Professional athletes don't Crossfit
The guy can't even run 3 miles. "Fittest man on earth" what a joke!
The test of how fit someone is isn't about how far they can run and how quickly they can do it though...
Test of fitness is how quickly your body can recover, anyone can run 3 mile and be completely fine the next day, trying doing what these athletes do then you'll know what I'm talking about.
Cameron Patterson Real Shit💯💯
ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn Stfu.. I run miles with a weighted vest. I run to improve my breathing
You too Hitman.. Stfu
For all you guys that say they can't run or swim. try watching the games they start off with a triathlon but with variations. they use multiple sports in the games and they take the overall best as the winner.
Answer: You don't. #goat
Don't worry about Rich Froning that's how, worry about you and you have to want it!! In the end you have to worry about you and want to be the best!
JUICE MORE, JUICE BETTER
Its simple. Rich's desire and determination cant be matched.
How to beat Rich? Well both of my rotator cuffs are 100% intact so thats a start
i am 8 years old and rich inspired me to do live a crossfit lifestyle
music name please 0:50
..
Herbert Larsen Darude - Wankstorm
hahaha
It would be nice so see how this wide spectrum workout makes him perform in specific sports.
anyone else think he looks like Crowley?
change the accent, put him in a suit and I think it might work xD
Athlete: a person who is proficient in sports or other forms of exercise. He is an athlete and he is the absolute best at what he does. Enough said. He is undefeated in the games, region
Easy, challenge him to something in which form actually matters.
So anything he does?
Antioco Hidalgo I'm talking real exercises, not that bullshit crossfiters do.
caleb slagle you're right...you should enter the games man, you'll probably bicep curl and selfie your way right to the top! idiot
Phyllis Corey you're seriously picking on bicep curls? Ah right I forgot, effectiveness is a bad thing to crossfiters. If it works it must be bad! Get your head out of your ass.
of course it works. where is the challenge tho? learn to front dquat bicep curling kid
How do you beat Rich Froning? 2 words, his name is Dmitry Klokov.
Dmitry Klokov would be completely gas'd out after first workout. His cardio -capacity is nowhere close to fronings '
lmao ok jake!
nicolas white it is true
oh yeah thats right, i forgot that you have seen them go head to head against one another involving a cardiovascular challenge, just because dmitry doesnt run around in the crossfit games does not mean he is not a superior athlete to froning. He is.
nicolas white Are you saying that the value of an athlete is measured by his snatch max? So, Micheal Phelps and Usain Bolt would be inferior to klokov even though their accomplishments are much better?
Take in consideration that Klokov is only top three athlete in weightlifting, if even that. On the other hand Froning is the best crossfitter in the world. Of course there is more competition in weightlifting, but still.
How do you compare two athletes from different sports ?
Manny pacquiao can beat Rich Froning in Boxing.
***** Pacquiao 1st round KO
No contest. Very quick KO. Rich Froning may be jacked but being jacked doesn't mean you know how to fight.
achillesbeast I know man. All this muscles and abilities going to waste. Whats the use of having a body of God if you can't defend yourself.
@@jamx97 the same as someone shot pacquiao's head with a gun. We are talking about sports. I bet Rich can beat Pacquiao in crossfit as he is beaten in boxing.
You kids are so pathetic 😂🤣
Rich Froning is a beast. Not to just feed into the hype, from what I have seen he is extremely humble and obviously hardworking. I could not say 100% positively that him or any other Crossfitter is steroid-free, and with today's plethora of PEDs that can go undetected (without noticeable symptoms) it seems that it would not be too hard to get away with it. BUT I am strongly dedicated to working out and would really hope that someone as recognized and well-liked as Rich has not been lured into those shenanigans...From what I can tell his body is not disproportionate or far-fetched from a natural looking physique, but again there are ways around the side effects unfortunately.
On another note, Crossfit is exactly how they word it: Various functioning movements at high intensity in the shortest amount of time possible (cycling, swimming, running, weightlifting, even swinging a hammer over and over, and etc.). It is a mixture of all of those things. What I am trying to say to those naysayers is that: NO they are not the best cyclists or swimmers or weightlifters...but they train to become the best at ALL OF THE ABOVE AND MORE. To sound preachy, they specialize in being unspecialized.
Sorry for the rant:[
You don't beat him. You just don't.
1st is Froning 2nd is Matt Fraser for me. Both amazing athletes.
I hate when I see comments like "just use more steroids," or "wait till black guys participate." It completely discounts the hard work and effort that these athletes put into this. Even if steroids were a factor, it doesn't make the person magically better at the sport. And more steroids doesn't equal better results. Lastly, saying that a black person would automatically be better at a sport is like saying a white guy is going to always be more intelligent. It's just plain racist and ignorant.
there are black guys and rich took them out too
dean atkins Exactly, Thank you. There is a diversity of people involved in Crossfit.
Nathan Worthy
exactly ... more steroids do not equal better results ..... More and More Steroids Do !!
But there are racial differences. It's in fact the opposite of ignorant. Black guys tend to average higher testosterone. And steroids, literally, do make you magically better at the sport. They reduce recovery time, remove natural limitations of muscle growth & improve strength and hence, make you magically better at the sport.
imthehulk666 I wasn't saying that steroids aren't effective, obviously. I'm saying that you can't sit on your ass, inject a bunch of roids, and magically be the best at a sport. I have heard that black guys have higher testosterone, but I've never actually seen any scientific proof of that. I do know that there was a muscle fiber test of long distance runners years ago that showed that some of the blacks had a little different slow twitch muscle fibers. I'm in a graduate Biochemistry program so this stuff interest me. Anyways, my whole point was that you can't undermine these athletes hard work by saying basically that any black guy or roid head off the street would beat them. That doesn't give these guys any justice and makes it seem pointless for them to even try.
Out of personal experience crossfit is by far the most challenging way to workout. I've tried bodybuilding, I've powerlifted for months.. but just by ''trying'' to train as intensive as these guys it's just kiliing my entire body. My body and muscles feel so sore after a few weeks that I have to go back to 60 sec breaks between sets and the usual 8-12 reps.
How to beat Rich Froning? Be Mikko Salo, simple as that
“You’ll never see another Rich Froning for a 100 years” Matt Fraser: “Hold my beer!”
0:35 What a fucking disgusting front squat.
Eric Essertaize yaw bru you must be huuuge if you can comment on peoples form. Like woah dude
MrMrilikepie1234 What?
Eric Essertaize
haha...so cute
***** He'll look pretty cute when the gear finally weakens his shit to the point where it snaps.
Eric Essertaize
Looking forward for that ;)
I see your point, but personally I would rather be a great all round athlete than able to do one thing crazy well. I find it more impressive to win an event like the CF Games than say, a bench press competition. I'm sure whoever wins one of those would be much better at benching than RF, but all the rest makes up for that.
If all the haters would train as hard as these guys they could see their body change into something amazing, but isn't it easier to call people cheaters with your fat mouth full of McDonald's food and trying to feel less like a loser.
Justin Hardt good luck with your "sport"
***** Did I say I do crossfit? I respect the dedication that these athletes perform at and for people to assume they are cheating. Don't take my words out of context and turn it into something to make yourself feel better. Do I think you're a poser of a youtube hater? Yes, and do I think you're one of the D-bags I was talking about? yes of course.
***** Oh someone is butthurt! Just let crossfitters train their way and you train your way and everybody will be happy. Peace.
Aww, just chill brother
jeroen jansen Yeah.. good luck with that one. I wouldn't post any money back guarantees on your PT ads.
i just finished reading rich's book "first: what it takes to win" and in it he talks about PEDs, etc. he insists he doesn't use any of these things, and because he strikes me as a man of integrity, i believe him. if you don't believe anyone can accomplish these things without steroids, it says a lot about what you believe you're personally capable of. maybe crossfit just isn't for you.
KLOKOV!
I'm glad you enjoyed my comment, thats what it was intended to do. I hope others find it entertaining as well. Thanks for being a good sport! Come on people lets give a round of applause to little hercules. And his testicle disappearing act.
This show was made possible by "PROGENX"
Side effects include a loss of testis but a 315 lb dead lift gain.
guess you never heard of Frank Medrano
Super Art7 what is Frank Medrano clean and jerk and deadlift max? And 5k running time? And swimming 500mts?
I really hope Rich returns to individual in the Masters divisions
Rich Froning is passionated about his career. He doesn't see it as a "work-out".... It's his lifestyle, he's passionate about it with...mind, body and soul..his Faith that is tattooed on his side: Galatians 6;14 tattoo,
El mejor vídeo que he visto en mi vida. Te motiva un montón gracias.
Howard Nguyen Kinda like Golf uh?
“How do you beat Rich Froning?”
Me: “you can’t”
You beat him by not doing Crossfit.
Regardless of your stance on religion I would not ignore the strength of his faith. He claims that when working his hardest, and feels like quitting, his faith pulls him through. Undeniably the sum result of his athleticism and strength are a combination of the myriad of elements that compose it, with faith being the foundation from which he claims to draw his motivational strength. This component is an undeniable factor in what makes Rich who he is.
i think cross fit has a bad rep because it's where all the fat kids and people who are doing cross fit to tell people they're doing cross fit go. I mean this guy is first place in the world and his physique is life half of steve cooks or greg plitts
johhny mcwangy hahaha ouu myy goood you're sooo pathetic guys:D:D
crossfit is not about body physique and good looking... its about strength, fitness and endurance
and these ''incorrect pull ups'' are not about strength, its about how many times you can pull your body up in the fastest way...
honestly - i pity you for your ignorance...
Jason Cross Its about strenght and fitness? So why they do it in incorrect way, which dont rise your strenght as good as proper way and put you in risk of contusion? Crossfit is for retards.
Jason Cross yes but do you truly believe these cross fit kids are stronger than weight lifters like phil heath or cali muscle? you also need to calm down, there's no need to pity anyone
Jason Cross It's true: crossfit has always been a functional activity, not purely aesthetic or purely strength training. However, sacrificing proper mechanics for a new PR can make even the strongest bodybuilders and strongmen cringe. Eventually you have to come to terms with the damage being done, whether mental from improper teaching methods or physical from improper form, down the road.
Steve Ornelas Because it isn't NEW. It's using Oly lifts and excluding other PROVEN lifts that do increase strenght and fitness.
The only thing that has really evolved fitness is the actual gear we have available today, like isolation machines and the such; and better understanding on how the body works; wich by the way, Paleo dieting is not optimal for fitness.
Maybe you think crossfit invented and developed all of their excercises?
and the other thing; going against the grain isn't always a "new" way. Why haven't you tried for example, Mike Mentzer's High intensity training? that one goes COMPLETELY against the stablishment, train less, harder, once a week and see real gains; now that is something hard to do, untrain yourself from doing 4 routines a day and just excercise for 10-15 minutes for strenght and then do cardio the rest of the week.
you ever tried it? if you haven't, do it; then you will too join everybody else in mocking crossfit.
Crossfit incorporates elements from a number of training styles, so what exactly are you referring to - the lighter metabolic workouts?
Who the fuck is Rich Froning?
The fittest man on earth.
Rich is the number 1 in crossfit I no you are not impressed by him .but he is just the beginning.look at UFC Gracie was good some point but other athletes. Has surpassed that then again UFC is like a whole bunch a little girls hugging each other when boxing proves to be the price ring One day you'll see an athlete a real athlete that'll will prove you wrong
Edwin Caraballo please dont associate my sport of MMA with your gay crossfit.
I.C. Weiner Boxing is the true ring sport
Water McMelon funny how any boxer wouldnt even last a minute against anyone with even a few months of mixed martial arts. Ali and tyson both said they would have been mma fighters had it been around earlier.
im from his hometown, he's worked super hard.. but he definitely juices. like for sure
Do You Beat Rich Froning?
Enter him into an actual sport.
You don’t beat rich frowning. You wait until he retires. Rich frowning retired from individual CrossFit games this is why Matt Fraser is number one for past two years
LEARN HOW TO DO A CHIN UP.
I doubt yours has a quarter lmao
bitches
BebehCookieIcecream
If you don't believe this guy can do a pull up, look up his workout videos. He's repping out strict, dead-hang pull ups with 50+ lbs of chains on him. And that's after benching, rowing, etc etc etc.
CantNoScope your name is "CantNoScope".
Why are you talking.
You are small little troll
Medeiros was lifting heavy at 14 . It's a guy who is probably clean and natty vs a nobody who is the champ two years after starting CrossFit
Some of the things people say on here really make me question our intelligence as human beings.
But after Lance Armstrong, no one at top level events is immune from haters and doubters. Going so long without being caught. People can't be viewed negatively for the doubts.
Top level people just get on with it without the opinions of others affecting them. As Rich would. Only he knows the truth. Kudos to anyone at the top.
Steroids is an excuse lazy people use when they see a guy in the shape they want to be in. Seriously theres something called hard work and dedication it takes those 2 things to reach the goal you want to reach and if you dont have either one thats your problem. Btw for steroids to even work you have to lift 3 times your bodyweight and Crossfit isnt powerlifting.
studies show you gain more muscle on roids doing nothing then you do naturally while working out, just something for you guys to think about, I'm not saying anyone is on roids, I'm not saying guys on roids don't work hard but just think about that...
Dreadstroke Youre a fucking idiot, I was going to explain to you why youre so wrong but somebody as stupid as you could never understand. Go watch a bodybuilder train and then tell me you train as hard as those guys and put so much effort and meticulous detail in your diet. Better yet don't even bother telling me, cause I know you don't, clown.Youre the typically lazy scumbag who thinks steroids are magic and shooting up makes you a champion. Fuck off.
MetMetification You're the fucking idiot.
Why the hell would your body benefit from all the protein you can take in a day if you don't stress out your muscles so that they rebuild themselves with the protein you ingested? Because that's what he's saying.
Muscles develop from work. Be it with steroids or not, working out is the only constant of the equation.
The studies are out there it's proven that you can actually gain a lot of muscle on steroids simply by doing nothing, obviously eating will provide protein and carbs but the steroids induce the growth which in turn uses the protein, maybe ill send you a link when you calm down, secondly I've been around the bodybuilding and powerlifting scene for a while, guys like Kai, Arnold, Ronnie are my idols don't think I disrespect bodybuilders you guys always twist people's words, if you went on steroids you'd see
More growth then ever before, you wouldn't ever be pro standard though without hardwork, steroids get them to the level where they can compete then the real pros put in the rest of the hard work, like it or not it's the truth.
The study showed and this has been quoted many times and is official that a group
Who worked out naturally gained 4 lbs of muscle over 10 weeks on average the group on steroids who didn't work out gained 7 lbs of muscle and the group who worked out and took steroids gained 14 lbs of muscle and no insulting will
Change these facts, I have no problem with steroids just don't deceive people, I have considered them myself at one time so am no way a anti steroid person, Infact I'm for steroids in pro bodybuilding. I don't deny the hardworking or dedication of pros but some people have to open their eyes and realise the difference they make and no muscles don't necessarily benefit from work if a substance such as steroids induces growth that growth doesn't necessarily have to come from working out but I explained that before.
The development of strict calisthenics was for muscular development, if you're going to make those movements as easy as possible without external help then kipping, bringing in the arms and using the back are all factors that should be considered rather than isolating the back. This is like saying "How do you beat Usain Bolt in sprints? Make it a 5 mile race" - he isn't training to be the best at isolating his back.
How Do You Beat Rich Froning? How about 'How Do You Beat Yourself?'
he was probably the undisputed of all time. unfortunatly he stops individual. but i think matt fraser was (even if froning beat him in 2014) his best opponent.
are theese guys drugtestet for steroids regularly? Im not saying they are on drugs, but Froning sure looks fucking jacked!
According to the internet, every successful athlete is on PED's. Idiots. Quit worrying about other people's shit.
jim jones there's absolutely no proof that he's on seething so that's a moot point. Point your anger towards know and proven OED users like Lance armstrong. Who lied and cheated.
jim jones and you have no solid proof
+Lordraw85 no he doesn't. go look at body builders, if you think these crossfitters are anywhere near that big you need to get your eyes checked. And yes they get drug tested a lot with no warnings. look at top level gymnasts and they look about the same as top crossfitters and U.S. gymnasts are tested constantly.
+Lordraw85 they arent getting carbon isotope ratio tests, which you can not fake. Thats the test Armstrong finally got caught with. The normal drug tests that Armstrong was passing with ease are the same ones that the crossfitters get. Theyre a joke really.
You don't!! You just stand there slack jawed and realize that his incredible physique outclasses all of you!!
How do you beat Bitch Frowning? By not doing Crossshit, blasting your body with anavar and participating in 'crossfat games' because you get paid to.
You sound pretty educated. I bet everybody listens to what you have to say...
Yes I am, Yes I am..
Be careful, you're going to cut yourself on my edges.
I don't think so. I can do strict pullups with 55 2- pound bumper plates for that extra core instability with a resistance around my elbows for reps.
World strongest man 20k views, this terrible stuff 800k views...
why is this terrible.. worlds strongest man..can lift 1000 lbs but cant run a mile without shitting himself.. but this is terrible?
No, worlds strongest man can run... But I agree with you Sam K. Why is this terrible? It's more human that the world strongest man contest, more adaptable.
Is it human, as in innate? Or is it human, as in created? Nothing is innate except for survival, and Crossfit doesnt mimic it in it's simplicity. Survival is simple because it is driven by need. Crossfit is driven by lack of need.
Mark Henry is still technically the Worlds strongest man. His 3 lift record ( squat, bench press, and deadlift ) has never been beaten. And he is a natural athlete that has been tested dozens of times. He may be older - but roids or not - guys have not beaten his record.
"With a spiked mace?"-- one of the few acceptable answers to the question.
