Froning, Fraser, 15.5

[@jtr1234]

These videos were so epic! Please bring back this style content CrossFit. This stuff is why I fell in love with the sport.

[@D_mac030]

I completely agree with you!

[@jarekbakken]

Seeing the two fittest men on earth rolling on the ground, barely able to walk is an incredible sight. Great work all around gentlemen.

[@chrisdawson9312]

I tried to find this video everywhere like last week. So pumped you guys put this up!!

[@AsianImage]

great video...I feel like such a fan boy watching this. Awesome. Best part for me was watching them both actually BE HUMAN...having this workout crush them. Rich not able to walk..and Matt unable to untie his shoes....just shows they are just human too...bad ass humans but they get sore too and get hurt. Love it.

[@AsianImage]

oh yeah and NIKE>reebok....go Matt! Nike athlete! =) Mecons>Nanos

[@somebmxkid5173]

AsianImage disagree, have not had a pair of nike that haven't delaminated the sole to some degree. Gave up on nike years ago. wide toe box nano's I wear them constantly for work and workouts! but matt frazer is a beast. and good for him getting sponsored by nike.

[@JODA-qx6wn]

Who else miss this friendship between the two fittest mans in the history?

[@Barefootjiggy]

seriously man that was beautiful to see

[@ashleysouffrant1320]

Miss the old times!!

[@Yairvan10]

It was awesome , but anything happened? Suddenly there were no lore videos of them together...

[@LukeDonohue1234]

I don’t think they were ever friends - respectful of each others efforts, Yes!... two competitive alpha males will never be friends!

[@westelkhunts1974]

I’m pretty sure not many ppl actually got to see the friendship, so I’m sure not many unless they knew them personally I’d guess

[@williamsonbuchner4450]

This is the best storytelling, editing and cine of anything CF HQ has ever made. 

[@landonmario]

that was the funniest crossfit video in a long time.

[@Nevertheeasyway]

Landon Lozano True story man.

[@firefinanceguy8]

Rich said I wish someone would cut off my legs looool

[@jeffersonhenley6787]

Stop please, that's to much Crossfit awesomeness in one video to handle. On a different note I do love seeing that the fittest were reeling on the floor after that one, and that it wasn't just someone like myself.

[@moisesaracena1594]

Jefferson Henley 100% agree... that was the coolest thing about this video... that the elite of the elite finished 15.5 the same way we all did, floored for 20 mins

[@stefanformgren4978]

Moises Aracena really fun to see that the machines can get floored :)

[@clintrock24]

Rich Froning doing curls on Non-Funcitional Friday….I'm going to start doing more curls.

[@19kidkid]

make sure you do hammer curls

[@ky93le]

clintrock24 That intimidation factor

[@friedokra7]

So happy you guys brought this vid back!!

[@Hopeyouarehavingagoodday]

Love these videos! I love you Richhhhhh

[@harryotse5846]

I absolute love the way how humble Matt is. Great athlete.

[@brocky]

Best CrossFit video ever. This year would've been the perfect way to end Rich's individual career. Getting each of their perspectives simultaneously was a brilliant idea. I really enjoyed this. Plot twist prediction: Matt Fraser wins the 2015 CrossFit title. Rich Froning immediately announces that he will return to take back the title in 2016. Then end the clip with Fraser going right back on the rower the day after. Oh man.

[@thebagelisbuttered5904]

Nah, Hillary won't let that happen #whipped

[@austinwhisler5938]

Thank you CrossFit 👏🏻

[@adammcgarry3010]

When Crossfit was everything. What a video....

[@Lazerdiller]

This was the best crossfit video I've seen in years. Had me laughing out loud several times. WE WANT MORE!

[@kevinallen5246]

Ian and Heber -- you guys do a great job with these videos. Really capture the humor and humanity that goes with driving yourself into the ground in a quest for points. Keep up the good work!

[@bandaral.dalbahi4630]

started crossfit 3 months ago, this vedio is a legacy for this beautiful sport

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

Congratulations on starting your journey with CrossFit, Bandar! Take a look at some of the unforgettable moments in CrossFit History here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5OWYomqq7Wmn6c

[@bbrewer33]

Whoever put this video together did a great job.

[@01Trickster]

Rich and Fraser has one amazing friendship i tell ya! lovely to watch!

[@alexaltringer17]

Well I'm sad rich is gone but he proved himself enough, he is the fittest man on earth. Now it's Dan Bailey's time to shine lol

[@4kdefinition70]

Alex Altringer No it's because there are more athletic people, anything could happen. :p

[@jeremyneilsen8944]

Alex Altringer I wanna see that man on the podium for sure.

[@teslation]

ur comparing bailey to rich? haha dan bailey aint even close to top 10

[@alexaltringer17]

He got 12th in the open and he didn't even try as hard as the other years I wouldent be surprised if he cracks top 5

[@PatCFLabat]

Honnestly, rich is the best and no one for a long time will do what he did. 4 years i a row is something. I mean they had 4 years to beat him and no one managed to do so. Im pretty sure if Rich was going individual one more time it would be super close for a 5th repeat.

[@judyta8885]

"Im going to go hard in the beginning..hard in the middle..and hard at the end" lol Matts a machine!

[@judyta8885]

or hard work and dedication.

[@psu62999]

They get tested for roids before competitions

[@Dance1617]

+DanoDoesLife I think he'd be a lot stronger if he's been lifting 10 years+ and was on steroids.

[@Maximaltime1]

+DanoDoesLife bullshit

[@andreassandstrom5101]

Oh this brings back some memories!

[@blakefu]

Wow! This is crazy. Who knew what 2021 would bring 🤣 Even Heber looks so different 🤣

[@andreshia3493]

It's kinda sad how there's so much hate on this specific community, when in fact we're all just simply into fitness for self-betterment. I mean c'mon can't we just respect the different categories of fitness together as a whole?

[@NocheDeToro]

No! If you do fitness a different way you are bad! *slaps with ruler* Honestly I don't get it either. I hate running but that doesn't mean I can't respect a runner. I think it's just cool to hate crossfit now and so people need to find a way to fit in. We've got a few guys who said they were on the hate bandwagon until their friends/wives dragged them in and now they love it.

[@matthewbriggs3206]

This was really awesome. It would be cool to see this more often.

[@jeremyneilsen8944]

LIES! Rich DOES do curls! Man that was awesome.

[@19kidkid]

that is to trick you

[@chadhamel8707]

13:23 “am I upset that I didn’t win? Not really” *head snaps to the side* “who are you?!”

[@PatCFLabat]

Epic!!!! That's what we all like to see!!!!!

[@19kidkid]

pat do you do curls everyday?

[@DisDatK9]

"If he could spend money he would" "On what?" "A better score" 😂 Hillary is hilarious

[@BOB2pointzero]

this is the best video I may have ever seen on youtube! awesome content crossfit!

[@M1NH42]

Imagine if Sevan was the one following a Rich around... Man. He would not hold back with questions as soon as he found out Rich lost.

[@bilalrasheed]

CrossFit® Your videos are so well created! Mad props to Heber & Ian for the amazing footage! Hopefully I'll see my video in the Affiliate Contest posted here. I definitely used some inspiration from Ia, Heber, & obv .. Sevan!

[@RonnieLopez21]

Thank you for the videos, CrossFit! :)

[@paulharrison5069]

Miss these type of videos

[@DV-vl2ki]

Froning's leg cramp at 4:16 was great, I felt the same after this one. Nice to see that the best in the world feel the pain just like everyone else. Awesome Video

[@joescho]

This is the best video crossfit have ever made. Loved it

[@Chakabuka]

This is by far the best video done by CrossFit® to date!

[@MrKane101111]

This is an awesome video. Such good feels.

[@vincentlentini4376]

You gotta love both these guys.

[@royaltiri]

I love Fraser so much. I had no idea he's an inch shorter than me, though. You learn somethin' new every day, eh?

[@samfrazier1580]

CrossFit… please bring videos like this back!! Rehire the old crew!! So CrossFit can begin growing again! Thank you!

1:52 Did she just seriously pray to have a good workout??? Oh lord...I'M DYING ROFL!!

[@BruceWayne-us3kw]

+Arthur Bekkerman They're from tennessee. what do you expect? they pray for everything in tennessee.

[@scawfan1]

Whoever edited this is hilarious. Haha at the "viewer secretion advised" part.

[@NickgAnagnost]

Still my favorite crossfit vid ever just because of their reactions to the workout hahahah

[@myvideoisnotgood]

Best Video of crossfit HQ so far:D seeing athletes having fun and doing crazy stuff. not only working out like machines;)

[@natural9743]

Fittest men at crossfit undoubtedly,fittest men on earth doubt it.

[@MrWaczo]

They should make like a Richi Broflex video or something when Rich and his team are bodybuilding in the gym :)

[@munciyekahir1043]

9:30 "You're not limited by how thick it is, you're limited only by how deep you can go." you got that right ;)

[@btdean02]

Both of their recoveries is hilarious!

[@delphicdelusion]

I can't forget this workout. Everyone I saw complete it did the same thing as these guys, and I did it too. We fell on the floor, or stumbled away until we recovered. One of the worst/best.

[@Harrisstylemaf]

Awesome video, love the training montage.

[@nathancarrigan346]

Love the 15.5 video being played to electric guitar and the workouts around 9:00 minutes. Reminds me of a training montage where Rich and Matt are getting ready either to fight Ivan Drago or participate in American Gladiators.

[@tokaseumanu6477]

Rich- "I want somebody to cut my legs off" Fraser- "I'm not re-doing that shit, no Fxckin way" Funniest ish ever lol

[@jeffreyyoung5681]

Mat and alex wrestling is something else, Mat probably went and did judo for a year to fix that weakness

[@Catch4]

Lol. They go immediately from a prayer to, "We better Fuc--ing get after it"

[@MrDavidtinman]

Lol, I love this because you don't get to see the top dogs in this kind of pain after a WOD even though you know a lot of their training is pretty dang hard. Also, I love the banter between the best competitors in the sport.

[@joynalmiah95]

I freaking love this video! Froning vs. Fraser is always good fun! 💪👍

[@mattjfriedMF]

Love the curls. Well done! X)

[@marcusfields3048]

fraser and froning are funny as hell

[@ethiopiandancinggoatherder7894]

So good these guys pray beforehand! Respect!!

When I see Rich Froning and Mat Fraser like that after doing 15.5, I know i'm not the only one that suffer after 15.5. Thumbs up to those who did 15.5!

[@iLL3571]

I'm 1.92m height, 83kg weight and a fit guy overall, except my lower abs. I've been working out before for periods of months-1 year but also with pauses of almost the same length or more. Now I've been hitting the gym for almost 4 months, 3 times a week working back+bis+abs, legs+shoulders+abs and chest+tris+abs 4 exercises of 4 sets for the larger group muscles and 3 exercises of 4 sets for the smaller groups. My diet is developed by myself and consists in high-protein-low-carb meals throughout the day at 3-4hr intervals, except for the training days where I eat at 5 when I wake up 2 eggs,some mushrooms,vegetables,feta,and others combined with a bowl of oats+milk and my next meal at around 9-10am consisting of chicken meat with vegetables and rice or some pasta. I then go to the gym after work at around 3pm, get back at around 5 and wait 1hr before I get my post workout meal so that the fat burning process kicks in. I eat usually a can of tuna or sardines combined with cottage cheese or whatever which give a total of 30+ grams of protein. If I'm feeling hungry I snack some peanuts/peanutbutter/sunflowerseeds/ stuff like that and go to sleep at around 9pm. Now, if I didn't miss anything, here's the thing that bothers me: how the hell can't I get abs? I never had them in my life, my upper abs look plain with a little cut in the middle going down from my chest and my lower abs are covered in half of centimeter-1cm of fat layer. I'm working out in hoodies all the time, sweat like hell, I look drenched after every workout and give my all in the gym, sometimes feeling like I'm about to puke after going out or getting dizzy on my way home. I drink enough water every half an our, and while working out.. I use chilli, cinammon and ginger with my foods, I've looked up every fuckin food out there to get cut and build muscle and there's no way my lower abs seem to ever coming out. I do leg raises while hanging from the bar, I do all kind of exercises involving the legs and lower half of my body, I've done my god damn research even if I forgot to mention something here and some of you might jump to point it out but still nothing. Is it genetics? Am I the tall and skinny type? I look swol and stuff, my coworkers telling me that almost on a daily basis even if I'm trying to hide that I'm going out to the gym, I workout for myself not to show off, hence the gym apparel while others are sporting those string shirts and shit and posing out there. Someone help me, what do I need to do? Before the gym I was doing High intensity training on a field 3 times a week.. what am I missing? I'm getting around 8 hours of rest a day, sleeping afternoon in my rest day as well, I'm starting to lose hope, I've been 83kg since the begining of these 3-4 months, and only noticed some swoleness and maybe a slimming in my abs, but not enough. I don't take any protein shakes or other type of powders, pills and shit, none, just food, is that the reason? Being clean means the road is tougher and longer? I'm getting muscles soreness after almost every workout, to me it means I'm working out properly as you may imagine otherwise. I've increased my bench, squat weight gradually, now deadlifting 120kg for 6reps and I feel that I can do more for lower reps obviously. My form is proper, I just don't fucking know, I'm about to give up believing, I never had abs in my life, always gained weight around my waist, I heard it's a common problem for men though

[@jakehorwood2465]

+Lex C To have cut or shredded abs you need low body fat %, probably around 8%. You can probably find ways to lower this online where you get all your other information from.

[@NickgAnagnost]

+Lex C Jake has a point, if you don't have body fat in the single digits, you're not gonna have abs. Also, some people just don't have the muscle structure to have a 'six pack'. Take Chuck Liddell.. the guy is/was a knockout artist in the ring and he's never been really ripped. All that matters is that your core is strong;

[@badmeetsevi12345]

"Im not re doing that shit" Fucking thats why I love this shit! Idk something about that post wod misery is addictive

[@65bucksmedia]

What happens from 8:40 - 10:05 had me pumped!!! It's like Crossfit's Rocky.

[@badmeetsevi12345]

Other Cf Hq vids, like ten thousand views, put Froning in the title....100k plus

[@michaelpesina7341]

i know it says 2015, but i was looking for this vid weeks ago and never found it. wtf.

[@callsofscv]

CrossFit took it down for the longest

[@aprilmomsen9278]

OMG Look at Heber!

[@andykimxp]

damn i love this video. rich and matt are super competitive. you can see the burn in richs eyes when he was told matt got 5:19

[@shamletly6140]

when he said "its just hard work paying of" i know how he feels

[@victorh8863]

I have to rethink my whole life after seeing Rich do bicep curls

[@JmacJr0110]

The difference between them was definitely in the thrusters. Matt went HAM on the thrusters

[@RobertRedway]

Dave Castro should have to do ANY workout he programs.

[@jsj01999]

Nice to see them pray before the workout. "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path" Proverbs 3:6

[@victorh8863]

For the love of god please keep making videos like this one

[@MakingMoneyWithMichael]

If Rich didn't have his normal rest at the top of each thruster he probably could have shaved off more than 15 seconds to beat Mat. Either way, great job to both!

[@antoinedavis6255]

Alex Anderson = Undisputed CrossFit Wrestling Champ

[@jesseromero5551]

You can clearly see that rich doesn't hold crossfit as his number 1 priority anymore and totally fine. He has a family to take care of now, he passed the torch to the young and upcoming Matt Fraser!

[@dylanpardon9723]

[@abhinavkulkarni6390]

What music is playing when those guys are performing the workout? That guitar is quite awesome! Someone please reply to this comment.

[@AlejandroRodriguez-wt2mk]

Why was this down for 5 years?

[@oliverbarrett9203]

Actually, upon reevaluation, it was Froning's pause at the top of each thruster that lost him that.

[@venik88]

Jesus Christ I thought there was an airplane in my toilet when the video finally started playing

[@jamesadarden5145]

You can see Rich would take about a 1-sec count at the top of the Thruster while Matt didn't. That brief pause was enough to make a difference. Both probably rowed at a comparable pace. It was still blazing fast for Froning regardless. Then he proceeds to collapse afterwards when he took a few steps. A guy at our box who turned in one of the fastest times (sub-10) was totally out of it for about 10-15 minutes afterwards. I wonder if anyone got rhabdo from this one? On a side note, the Nike Metcons are getting some visibility on these videos. I'm curious to see what happens when the Reebok contract ends.

[@originaljungle]

damm thats a mikko salo workout for sure...he would crush that

[@NationandState]

I'm only here due to the hotness of Matt Fraser
