Fittest Man on Earth - Mat Fraser | BRCC

Mat Fraser, a former Olympic weightlifter and the only athlete to take first place in the CrossFit Games for five consecutive years gives Black Rifle Coffee Co.'s Evan Hafer an inside look at what kind of punishing physical training it took to be at the top of his game for so long (including ingesting 10,000 calories a day) and what life is like after retiring from competition as he continues to build his company, HWPO Training (Hard Work Pays Off).

Mad respect for this man’s accountant. 6:05

[@CPAdayz]

We are literally doing 50 jobs at once 😂

[@easttxkravmaga]

One of my favorite interviews of Mat Fraser.

[@thefiveoceans1902]

This guy won the CrossFit Games by the widest margin ever - multiple times. To this day no one has come close to the dominance he had over the best in the world. It was awesome to watch.

[@ZachDylik]

Isn't this the guy who lost to Rich Froning?

[@coachb530]

​@@ZachDylikhe came in 2nd twice as he was learning the sport, then he demolished everyone after that point

[@filipesa5746]

@@ZachDylik Yes, it's true. He came second in 2014 in his debut year at the CrossFit Games against the best elite athlete at the time. And he came second again in 2015 against the best elite athlete at the time. Fraser crossed paths with Froning at the height of Froning's career. In his debut year, Froning came second against an athlete I bet you've never heard of and who has virtually no competitive history. Froning decided to compete in teams at a time when winning the individual title was becoming increasingly difficult with the emergence of a promising and super consistent youngster. The two are still the greatest athletes in the sport, just at different times.

[@Fleezyy]

No one has done more for Crossfit than Rich Froning. Not even close.

[@yourmomsucksme]

@@Fleezyynobody remembers rich froning 😂😂 matt fraser is the staple of crossfit. he’s the GOAT

[@markcrandall5800]

Love seeing this side of Matt, more of a fan and absolutely love what he's doing since retiring

[@GDS1404]

You mean his right side?)

[@Its_Esoteric]

Fraser’s Olympic inspirational video back in 2015-2016 before anyone knew his name in CF is what got me into lifting!

[@nednorton5508]

Great episode. The most revealing interview on what it takes to be the finest man on the planet. Great job Evan!

[@camerongray7767]

Anyone else who has watched / will watch every single interview that Mat does haha

[@pavneetchhabra9891]

Every single one but multiple rewatches 🙋

[@JC-xk3tc]

Same!

[@annajmh]

It’s like every other he’s done 😆

[@olimpiopaixao7236]

Since 2014 watched all of them! Even those who got canceled or deleted for some reason! 😅

[@reanukeevesau]

Great interview Mat and Evan!

[@beardedbourbon]

Mat and Rich are cut from the same cloth - both seem to be doing all of the "side missions" in life. Love the ongoing drive to learn and grow and experience bigger, better and new things!

[@danerickson1733]

Man, this motivates me even more to start my own business.

[@gabrielm.310]

So cool to hear him talk about flying. Same flight school I teach at 🔥🔥. Lot of work but so attainable.

[@aristouloumtzis4484]

Best mat interview ever!

[@nasrrashed1381]

The very best podcast so far, literally enjoyed it

[@BryanChristopher1776]

Great interview, fellas. Matt is a fkn legend.

[@ruready4ou2rock]

Sweet!!!! More guys like this.

[@philipross1066]

Awesome interview

[@calebpcollins]

Congratulations on becoming a father! 👏🏼

[@sisutex]

Great interview !

[@skylineleathercompany]

Great episode 🏋🏻

[@Realbeardedgamerdad]

Let’s gooooo!!!! ❤️👍🏻🥃🇺🇸

[@symboh6492]

Accountant's get a bad rep, that was some sage advice.

[@marcmartinez8233]

The "Health Dashboard" sound great but how would you account for something simple like dehydration everyday in all weather conditions and in all time zones 24/7 as someone progresses through fitness and age? There's countless questions like this that an app would have to address so how interested in how that can work?

[@paulsleipnir3591]

now i am very motivated to built my 300 qft home gym. thx :D

[@skibielsg]

I appreciate the explanation of the Glucose monitor. I Have wondered what that was on Evan, sorry thought you were a diabetic. This has made me interested in my own Glycemic Metabolism.

[@stephenkriegel2796]

great interview, which BFR band system did you choose?

[@TheRealStephenJ]

You absolutely gut-punched him with the "What are you, 40?"

[@KevinSanchez-vq3mh]

I came to the comment section immediately after that happened looking for this comment lol. Ouch!

[@TheRealStephenJ]

@@KevinSanchez-vq3mh 🤣 especially when the title of the video is “Fittest Man on Earth”

[@chazmishan]

🐐

[@pyeitme508]

Wow

[@Moddydadoo]

The knee story 😮

[@_Jo-El]

The goat

[@serhazor]

@AnrewHiller should listen to this one. That would answer the question why you're not making CrossFit your life and not doing the same amount of input Andrew expects. Also, would like to learn more about those glucose monitors.

[@Myke001]

Sorry, You misspelt Andrew in the tag, so he probably missed it

[@serhazor]

@@Myke001 maybe its just not meant to be then :-)

[@iainduke6426]

Where can we get the HWPO t-shirt Mat's wearing?

[@danibearhugs]

That's the legacy shirt. They put out a short order a few months ago to members and then the public but once they sell out they don't continue to sell items until a new run comes out. They sell shirts very selectively through the year and usually its only to members. You'd have to sign up for their email subscription to find out if they do another run.

[@crazycatlady.]

What is mat fav app for glucose check??

[@45artpm27]

🖤🛡️⚔️

[@annajmh]

Hahaha love how he called Mat 40 😂

[@matthigdon4809]

Mat really should get into bow hunting whitetail😂

[@mr.tall-man1573]

I thought 4500 cal a day was tough......wow

[@Vahe12345]

Have I heard mat say it was Shane Orr who called him and told him to go one more?

[@wedgeworth63]

Anyone notice Evan has a different watch on every episode? Lol

[@thetaterful]

Fucking legend

[@nicknick2374]

We need ROGAN On here

[@stevegaspar]

Love the interview BUT if Matt actually did BB ala Platz or most definitely Mike Menzter he would feel crazy intensity while working out 2-3 days per week and get really good results

[@astreet339]

#CookevilleTennessee

[@MrJsevo29]

So basically hes coming back at 40 is what i heard? Anybody else?

[@dailyswithdave]

Just know... your kids WANT to hear about your time in the service.

[@RogueCylon]

He would probably have made a good navy seal. Alas, didn’t tick that box.

[@caioemmanuel850]

[@Rev1211b]

Ok question not asked . . . If he ate that much how much poop was this man pooping in a day😮

[@eligio926]

LFG

[@some______guy]

Balance your audio. I was pumped about this interview but had to bail. The input from the host is almost of zero value. And to have them at 3-4 db higher is absurd.

[@serginho6837]

Really bad enough to bail 😆 🤣 😂

[@yenifer2154]

seems like he doesnt know much about him/his lifestyle for knowing him 10 years...... ? so clueless, so shocked for no reason at certain points.
