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.

    I agree Mat.. I don't wanna do crossfit either. I just wanna lift weights.

    The part where Mat was in school and said “no friends, no girlfriend” summed up my experience of a year of grad school in Minnesota and I’m from Wisconsin. The CrossFit gym sometimes helped but still never really fit in. Was totally checked out a few weeks left of the spring semester and glad I didn’t finish school

    No one should be doing snatches or clean and jerks for "time."

    Love how real Mat is here. Humble beginnings and hard work made him the most fit man in the world.

    That part where he talked about being a few years older than every one you're around and feeling like you've fell behind.. that hit home hard. Just turned 26, still no idea what I want to do.. Feel like I've wasted so much time spinning in circles, is this normal?

    I'm 41 years old but his guy is my idol. Such an old head on young shoulders. I wish I had a friend like Mat Fraser to kick my ass and point me in the right direction in times of adversity.

    Holy sh!t. Mat cleaned and Jerk 225 when he was 13?! I could barely bench press with the bar and 15 lbs plates. Weight lifting wasn't introduced to us until I was in middle school (7th grade). 😣
