"Rich Froning called me his friend" - Matt .. Haha, best line of the video! Love those 2
***** the bragging about squat was hilarious too
Otavio Cruz Haha, you're right .. "Ok don't brag about it" :)
Moto
Ijkoei..
Nikkei here e kilotons
Am i the only one who has watched this a hundred times, and am not getting sick of it.
+Trae Robin i know right?! it is such a great motivation from watching them working out
Me too bro.
Yes
You're not alone
Rich's face after fraser nails the snatch is priceless :D
Dan's impression of that guy at Yosemite was hilarious.
omg i died. that was off the wall hilarious
Can´t believe my eyes, the fittest sub 18 year old in the whole fucking world. You did so well at regionals man, next come back: stronger, faster, lighter and more hungry
Sounded homophobic to be.
Noooo, it wasn't the fact that the dude was gay, it was the fact that he was like, 'Daddy sent you', which made it weird. It could have been a 300lbs biker butch dude and it would have been just as fucking hilarious
@coryboyd7958 or maybe thats just how he sounded?
This is really great, knowing what goes on behind the scenes with the athletes... As well as the commentators; like Josh Bridges who is now commentating for The Games.
Kirk Meyers how do you know?
+Erwan Compes These athletes aren't on steroids
+Erwan Compes Crossfitt is also about technique dummy
+John Downes that is a very gullible comment fronting is absolutely on PEDs. Have a look at his college photo or even how much he's grown since his first xfit games when he came in second.
+Erwan Compes Did you watch the video? They train hard man, steroids or not. I think they might be on steroids but I don't think it's necessarily their fault... If you're preparing to write a huge, important test, and you know everyone else is going to cheat and have a distinct advantage over you, you're probably gonna want to cheat too. It's not impossible that they're natty, unlikely, but either way, their training volume and dedication is beyond admirable. They also motivate thousands of people to turn their lives around in terms of fitness. I respect them.
Mat Fraser goes alone to do Murph... Man what a guy...
That's some attitude
I still appreciate this video in 2021 seeing how far all of these athletes have come.
“This is my 1 and a half year old golden retriever... we’ve had him for about a year and a half” ahahaha
No shit he could’ve been adopted moron
@@chaseshingoose4177 I think you missed the joke..
Haha
I honestly feel like crossfit athletes have the greatest sense of humour. Maybe it's the sport. Maybe it's all these great "behind the scenes" videos where you get to know people. But they always seem so funny and alive. Also the hosts from the update show. And I'm not even native english speaker. Must be the sport.
definitely good personalities
I think it could have something to do with the sports! As if you look at the top strongman they are extremly supportive to each other.. if there are only 2 hands full of people worldwide with wich you really can push each other..💪
I thought of this recently myself and I think it’s cause they abuse there body so bad it’s like you gotta like the misery to endure it all and stay mentally sane.
These guys are so funny! How can you not love this community!
Ohlsen is very smooth on the bar muscle ups
He makes them look TOO easy!
Love these behind the scenes vids!!! Makes these guys all the more relatable and likable. Keep them coming video team. Thanks for all the hard work.
Love the camaraderie between Rich and Matt. Matt is hilarious. Rich is the fittest in history because he puts in the work period! No shortcuts. Wishing all the athletes the best this week!
Ohlsen just does the smoothest damn bar muscle ups i've ever seen!
Dan Bailey's story of his nickname "Daddy" was too funny 😂
Cannot WAIT for the games to start 🙌
watching this in 2020, these games have come a long way! especially Mat and Noah
"Tell them Daddy sent you" haha
I am so pumped for the games! This will be my second year of watching the games. Last year I was just learning the routes and how things goes. 2015! I am all in! Been watching these athletes all year on social media, videos, etc. It's time! New beginning!
I wish this video was 100 hours long. Love seeing the athletes behind the scenes.
+workoutfanatic Only 100 hours? :P
Anyone still watching this ?
Matt you need to Audition for Wolverine when Hugh Jackman hangs up his boots.
Kiwigeneticsnz He honestly has the perfect physique and body shape! Wolverine’s short in the comics
Rite
Legendary moment in space when these two great history athletes came together. I know there's a lot of ego and proudness involve for the history pages. But these was great. The humbleness of Matt Fraser by this time. Very sweet!
Phenomenal insight on how they are preparing!
Great video (y) :-) !
I love seeing this back, the way the interact with each other
Song name is smiling from album: The Vinyl Incident Big Beats and Breaks
When Rich and Mat were Friend’s 😬😂😢
aren’t they😅, then why did matt and tia train there last year for the games
@@khairysultan81 watch The Darren Woodson Show episode 83, part 2 on CZcams. Skip to 42;51 and Fraser explains what’s going on
Oh my gosh these guys are the best! I love them all so much
Idk why but when noah was doing the muscle ups and with that backround music playing the scene was so relaxing lol
Scott "I would go on the Instagram" hahaha
these videos are the absolute best
By this time they didn't even consider Ben Smith as one of the next champions
Luiz Guilherme Cunha the highlander?
More than awesome video:)
Matt has such a man crush on rich!
He's such a great guy. So humble and sweet. He deserves Eugene gets. He works so hard and is so humble.
I just wanna say that everything about the sport has gotten more methodical and I totally appreciate that as a participant. But I totally miss the rawness of this type of training style. Just ripping Metcon after Metcon after Metcon. And always competing with others through Instagram. It’s dope to watch.
Noahs muscle ups are the best iv seen from a crossfitter. Just shows what a gymnastic background can do
I agree, he has very pretty muscle ups. But he doesn't have a gymnastics background. He swam and played water polo.
Should be interesting to see a one by one comparison of crossfitters doing bar muscle ups when they're not fatigued. I'm guessing many of them would look pretty good, some not so much (especially the taller, heavier athletes).
The majority of athletes who can do body weight exercises well can do bar muscles as effeciently. Don't generalize "Crossfitter" when you don't actually know anything.
All im saying is that majority of crossifitters dont do muscles ups as efficient or as clean as Noah. It was just an observation and it is because Noah Ohlsen did gymnastics when he was growing up therfore is a lot more efficient at controlling his body weight that someone who did not do gymnastics. This is a trend i see where crossfit is going. I think in the future the games etc will focus a little more on complex gymnastic movement.
Mike Cronan I told you before and I'll tell you again, he never did any gymnastics before crossfit.
I agree that a gymnastics background can help heaps, but right now, I don't know of any male games level crossfitter who has one.
It's different with the girls though. I'd guess about a third if not more of the top level female competitors have done gymnastics before crossfit, And they do really well at the gymnastics type events.
Yedaiah Cody Anderson does have a gymnastics background.
"Brooke Wells followed me" aaand I died :D
I'm so in love with Dan ! ugh ! :-) just love his energy, smile, face, everything !! LOL good to dream....
Im watching these videos just for Mathew Fraser
why
I'm watching this for Josh Bridges
me toi
YOO lmao me too hahaha he's the fucking man
Same
Rich training his replacement
reading this 5 years later after Fraser`s 5 wins
so tell me the future of CrossFit in 2025
@@jobbysandwich1797 still mat winning for sure unless he retires, he's too dominant for anyone to even have a chance at the moment
To be fair to Mat he did crush it on the squats at the games haha
Mannnnnn, the good old days of competitive CrossFit.
Matts message hasn't changed. Love these old videos.
Mat looks like such a baby here compared to now lol
12:05 i love these socks lol
Love seeing them training together and competing up against each other on day of the comp Matt saying pure training, hard work gets the treat, 💪😅💪🤩💪😜💪
"Rich Froning called me his friend!" LMAO
I love how straight forward Matt is
Really looking forward to the battle between these dudes
I like how other people are having fun, and panchik is rowing alone in the gym...
thanks for the vid ! pls kepp it coming !
Back when Rich & Mat were friends... :P
mat fraser --> the reason why i want to start with crossfit !! i watched this video a hundred times too
Love the video! Keep up the amazing content!
These guys are in such phenomenal shape
Man I miss these videos!
Well done, great clip.
I would love to see more of these kind of videos
Excellent video !
My MOTIVATION you guys before go training hehe the best
Would be fun to see what all those guys talk about the changes from this video (mentaly) from now. Fraser is way stronger and champion, Noah is bigger also, and Scott is now going to be "mayhem". Man that is a lot of changes. Please Dave, make this video mate!!!
Awesome. Can't wait. 😁😁
Such an early pull on the snacth from Froning, and its crazy how he's well aware of it and makes it work.
Yeah it's bc he has a bent elbow (he said he snatches narrow bc it hurts his wrist if he doesn't) so he rows it into his hip, it's an advanced technique bc of the different timing but just preference
I WANT MORE!! I NEED MORE :D
Awesome.
Keep the videos up! Very good content :)
I love this video! It's so great.
Also does anyone know the name of the song at 12:40?
I was hoping Josh Bridges would commentate the games... The 2015 Crossfit Games are gonna be EPIC!
dans legit my favorite
Ohh I CANT WAIT!!
The fact that Angelo DiCicco is 15 and capable of keeping up with the top athletes is mind-blowing :O!!
love this vid
What are those shoes froning is wearing in the beginning of the video?
What are the weight west they use? looks steady and not jumping around. I want one. Tell me if you know plz
"Glad I'm not doing the individuals!" LOL
thx great video
Froning constantly quoting Anchorman. Laughs
Anyone else think Noah looks hella graceful on those muscle ups?
1.) Fraser
2.)Baily
3.)Ohlsen
4.)Panchik
5.) Smith
A lot has happened in the last two years.....Team Mayhem led by Rich Fronning Jr. has won two straight Affiliate Crossfit Games. Matt Fraser is the Fittest on the Planet in 2016, after a loss the steady Ben Smith ....Panchik is still Scottie....tough as nails a larger Chris Speiler and Noah is Noah....all the raw talent in the world. And Daddy Dan Bailey still tries to get all his calories from Broccoli and is rehabbing an injury and will not be at the games...And Rich and Hillary Fronning have added another blessing to their family....God has Blessed you all...What's next for Crossfit? Dave Castro's not barbell Games?
The bottom line is you have to put in the work to get the results. You can't do "CrossFit" for 6 months and think you have a chance at making it to the Games. These athletes have been putting their sole effort into all of the things that make a CrossFit athlete for years and many of them don't even make it to the Games. If anyone has aspirations to make it into this elite circle of individuals I would suggest you set your sights far into the future...even if you have made it to Regionals or even dominated local comps. Take your game up a level and realize there is a whole set of individuals out classing you as we speak. Use that as fuel to outdo them. The limits of the human body have not been breached so easily. Chase that. Fight for it. Find it. That is all I have to say to you.
i watched this during highschool and now i am in my third year of college, what a time
The video is a classic.
anyone else butthurt about bridges not making it this year? clearly i am ;)
Those were great times. :)
Now mat is the 🐐
Can i get my date with brook wells too?

Thank you Ian...such a great video!
Love Mat Fraser :-)
notice how plebeians roast crossfit but always seem to avoid these individuals - these guys should some up what crossfit really is about!
Rooting for Fraser! 👊
So interesting to look back on mat Fraser before he changed everything in 2016. 2016 and beyond, zero chance you'd see Fraser doing this slip n slide because he wouldn't wanna risk injury before the Games.
Also funny how the Panchiks were talking about Brooke wells. Fast forward and Saxon and Brooke are now both with PRVN.
What's the song that Noah is listening to at 13:20?
what song is played at 18.00 ?
panchik, fucking laser beam
MORE THIS STUFF!
Clean slate start over
I miss when crossfit games athletes all met up in a couple different players across the US just to train together leading up to the games. So sick! It’s like the avengers.
What's the name of the song at 0:25 ?
what time did mat at murph?
