Mathew Fraser earned the title of Fittest Man on Earth at the 2016 Reebok CrossFit Games. The victory was three years in the making, after he took back-to-back second-place finishes in 2014 and 2015. In 2014, Fraser’s debut Games appearance, he earned the Rookie of the Year award for his efforts. Known for his hatred of second place, Fraser was unsatisfied with his consecutive silver finishes, and though he won the worldwide Open in 2015 and swept his region (EAST) with a dominate performance in 2016, it wasn’t until he stood atop the podium at the Games in 2016 that he showed signs of celebration. A former U.S. Olympic Weightlifting team hopeful, with a return from major back surgery in 2011, retired from his weightlifting career and has been a CrossFit athlete since 2012.

    Bodybuilding.Com you guys are winning for making a video about Mat Fraser and Crossfit. There's a lot of hate and misconceptions about the sport because of the EGO of stupid people who lift too heavy too soon. I've been to so many Crossfit gyms and all their coaches are TOP NOTCH. I don't Crossfit right now because I hurt my knee in Soccer but I KNOW the work these guys put in in and outside of the gym and it is RIDICULOUS. Like he said in the beginning "Be willing to do what others won't to have what other don't have". Can't wait to recover and get back into the box.
