I'm just saying it's kind of an apples to oranges comparison because they never competed against each other while they were both at their peak in training effort.

Really interesting to hear Mat say the quote “There’s a difference between pain and injury” when talking about the weightlifting coach. It’s also a very common quote used by college football coaches.

I dont do crossfit, im a weighlifter. But come on most of us would be dead for a week if we try those work outs. Crossfit as a training methodolgy... not so good. As a sport is respectable. The thing is all these gym bros confusing all strenght/lifting sports with doing bicep curls and training just to look good in the mirror.
I do strongman myself. I hate when people try to talk shit or compare. Powerlifting, Oly-lifting, Strongman, Crossfit, all different disciplines and generally worthy of respect. No one, who’s not a freak of nature is going to do well initially at one when they’ve been doing another.
@@WillJM81280 of course you are 100% right. what bothers me is everybody criticising crossfit for using "bad form". or not using correct form to build muscle when thats no the goal of the sport. is it injury prone? maybe, but not much mire than throwing heavy stuff overhead or lifting heavy stones. all sports comes with some risk .
This man is a legendary athlete, but he also comes across as a regular guy, no airs or graces..respect to him.. obviously comes from a good family background..
This shows the problem with coaching today. They aren’t paid to optimize, they are paid to outperform. If they don’t they are fired and the next one take a a shot.
A welcome exception to most crossfitters I’ve come across. Being dominant at your respective field, you have no natural predators, tends to make you not be a dick. Also, I love how they are including some strongman events too (stones, pressing medley, and farmers carry). Makes it more about real strength and not just who can do a ton of burpees and row fast.
Many of the top crossfit athletes squat in the high 400lbs and squat clean atleast 315lbs, so its never been about who can do body weight stuff the fastest lol.
athletes who compete in the sport of crossfit and people who go to a crossfit gym are very different people. I think that people who go to a crossfit gym that take their training too seriously are off putting to most people. It's like the guy who plays in a rec hockey or basketball league once per week and he thinks he's a pro athlete and keeps track of the score of the game like winning or losing is life and death. This is a much lower percent of these types of people in crossfit than there was 5+ years ago.
I just wish they would cut out all the movements that are so easy they are basically swinging or kipping the whole time. Use a weighted vest please. No one wants to see a bunch of fish flopping around.
@@Jerahzz Peak Mat beats peak Froning. I don’t have a dog in the fight, but you can’t look at how dominant Fraser was this year and compare it to 8-10 years ago when Froning was at his best. The overall weights/times etc now are greater. The average games athlete is better. It’s just progression.
@@MSordernature of CrossFit, what else would he be a goat of? I can’t wait for your witty response saying how CrossFit isn’t the true measure of the fittest man on the planet and that he isn’t shit lol hater
I don't like doing CrossFit and never got into it personally bc I was more into b. B style workouts. But I don't think sum ppl realize how hard it is and how crazy esp the top athletes are. They are in insane shape. There are workouts that alot of ppl would be gassed out in 15-20 min doing and they have to keep that pace for hours. And then go back and do it again. It's one of those sports where u have to almost be alittle crazy in the head for and ready for a challenge every workout bc they are brutal and most ppl even in shape would struggle like crazy
I read a lot of hate over the years about CrossFit, I tried it last year and I honestly don’t understand where the hate comes from. It’s Oly lifting, running, and agility style training during each workout. I’m not sure what there is to hate lol
It's the fact that they treat lifting as a sport which it isn't. You should never be doing olympic lifts in time increments it leads to bad form which leads to injuries.
@@PmK96 I definitely agree that doing Olympic lifts right after sprinting 200m, and doing 50lb dumbbell snatches can lead to poor form, which leads to injury. But to say that it’s somehow not a sport because it doesn’t have an object going into some kind of goal isn’t valid.
@@lukeblankenship8424 you're definition is wonky, it can be more than that. Usually I'm sport you compete to be the best at something. CF doesn't have the best at lifting, running, etc just mediocre athletes that do these events which are just random. Putting them together doesn't determine the best at jumping, lifting, running, falling or even doing pushups. When you go to a lifting event, those are the strongest people trying to find the best at squats, bench, clean/jerk,etc. As long as you get exercice and have a good physiotherapist, it's still better than doing nothing so its way better than the 30%+ of obese population (just don't get them to do crossfit to lose weight). Just like bodybuilding and its bro science, physio clinics will keep making mint on people trying to combine olympic lifting with speed and fatigue inducing workouts.
It’s pathetic, some are on steroids, some aren’t, some have better techniques in some exercises and others have better techniques in other exercises, the way it’s scored is so all over, the competitors have multiple different score keepers also, it’s so all over the show who can win it’s a retarded sport that is full of nerds.
Mats mindset is amazing. Really helped me over the years dialing in my weaknesses. I translate his fitness advice into entrepreneurship. I hope he gets into coffee. We can all use his influence.
I've been going for going on 4 years. I'm in better shape at 38 than I was at 22. That's after playing 3-4 sports a year in highschool and going to the gym all throughout college. Keep it up. Listen to your body. Identify your weaknesses and erase them one by one!
No, this guy's fitness far exceeds the 'average' in every domain he gets tested in. The Goal is to be the best all-rounder, which is a very different thing.
If Joe was going to bring someone from Crossfit to interview, I would have thought: Greg Glassmen (who is no longer affiliated with Crossfit anymore), Dave Castro, Rich Froning, or Jason Khalipa. But I am pleasantly surprised to see Fraser to be the first to represent Crossfit on JRE.

It's like the guy who plays in a rec hockey or basketball league once per week and he thinks he's a pro athlete and keeps track of the score of the game like winning or losing is life and death. This is a much lower percent of these types of people in crossfit than there was 5+ years ago.
(secret: that is what crossfit always was about....)
@@timothysnow5 lemme guess, you have never actually been to a crossfit gym have you?
I just wish they would cut out all the movements that are so easy they are basically swinging or kipping the whole time. Use a weighted vest please. No one wants to see a bunch of fish flopping around.
I play real sports...I ain’t trying to be the best at exercising -Kenny Powers
🤣👍🏽😂
Lol. Something tells me Kenny Powers doesn't actually play any sports.
🍆✊
Yet none of us could probably beat this guy in his lane
That is the best show on tv next to Wilfred
I been wondering when Joe is gonna get Mat Fraser on since Joe is big on workouts...in competition tho,this guy's a beast!!!
“Bribing me into workouts”
Does anyone else think watching Joe Rogan experience on Spotify it's just a hassle?? I'm glad he's available on CZcams…
He’s a monster man!! Props!! 5x Champ
The best ever
I want to watch this damn you joe I didn't want spotify.
Preech
Gotcha bitch
Same, i officially have to watch on spotify for the first time
@@aremedyfrosty no lol
@@aremedyfrosty facts. Couldn’t even watch it. Smh
Oh man I’ve watched all the CrossFit games, I fuckin love the intensity these men/women are pushed too, Fraser is a beast💪🏼💪🏼
Yes I’ve been waiting for Rogan to have one of these guys on. Thought it’s be Froning though!?
Same. Froning would have been interesting. Felt like Fraser was the 2nd or 3rd choice lol
Froning is semi-retired
Fraser makes the most sense imo since hes the best to ever do it.
@@Gruso57 lmao. Rich is the MJ of crossfit. Mat is the Lebron/Kobe of crossfit. Don’t get it mistaken.
@@Jerahzz Peak Mat beats peak Froning. I don’t have a dog in the fight, but you can’t look at how dominant Fraser was this year and compare it to 8-10 years ago when Froning was at his best. The overall weights/times etc now are greater. The average games athlete is better. It’s just progression.
Good news!! Elgintensity will have new material now.
Welcome to the washed-up loser Olympics 2021 😂😂
Zerooo
we all win... except crossfitters... those guys are losers
@@BobbyxZx CrossFit is the Scientology of the fitness world.
@@bubblewrapvillain that's too big an insult to scientology, bro
Wasn’t a lark. Dude is an over achiever to his core.
Is that bad.?
@@hiphophrc of course not. Just saying that anyone that has met an aspiring or former Olympian knows they are a special breed.
that's why he couldn't turn pro in any sport... he's so good, lol
@@BobbyxZx total loser for sure🤙🏽
@@tannergauge9374 that's why crossfit is bankrupt, right?
Mat Fraser is a different breed
Holy shit, Joe Rogan brought in the GOAT.
Hahhahaa of what? silly people
@@MSordernature of CrossFit, what else would he be a goat of? I can’t wait for your witty response saying how CrossFit isn’t the true measure of the fittest man on the planet and that he isn’t shit lol hater
@@beattrixkiddo2725 crossfit is putting a huge number of people in wheelchairs for life.
Rich Froning is the real goat
@@beattrixkiddo2725 it’s silly to call someone the goat of something that’s existed for five minutes
Joe “I always look like I just ate pasta” Rogan
Matt is the podcast guest i didnt know i want in JRE. So sick
We need infinite elgintensity on this ASAP.
CrossFit is only handy for the 0.1% the rest of the population just aren’t that committed and end up fucked.
Yeah, Rogan definitely needs to talk to a barely above average powerlifting enthusiast who's an internet troll in the off hours.
@@kblkbl barely above average is still above average.
I’m just glad to hear someone finally say castro is a douche I thought when greg went he would be gone too but no such luck.
Joe's guest: "Good question, Joe. Here's what I do..."
Joe: "Yeah, I have a buddy who does that, too. Here's his story..."
Joe's guest: 😶
I wish I hadn’t seen faces of death workout videos at the end.
WaW finally Matt !!!! looking forward to listen to the whole podcast YEaaaaa
Mat is the only reason I care about Crossfit. He is too impressive to ignore.
Dude you are posting that everywhere. Do you have something against him? If you are going to say something like that put some evidence out there
@@HA-eu9ph ofc he doesn't have evidence, or there'd be an actual story about it. Keyboard warriors, only unhappy with themselves
Joe has almost completed his goal to become Dave Batista
I don't like doing CrossFit and never got into it personally bc I was more into b. B style workouts. But I don't think sum ppl realize how hard it is and how crazy esp the top athletes are. They are in insane shape. There are workouts that alot of ppl would be gassed out in 15-20 min doing and they have to keep that pace for hours. And then go back and do it again. It's one of those sports where u have to almost be alittle crazy in the head for and ready for a challenge every workout bc they are brutal and most ppl even in shape would struggle like crazy
Damn it after watching this I might finally get Spotify
I’m waiting for the “Crossfit Community responds to Mat Fraser” videos! Lol!
keep waiting
Lots of outrage and sore butts for sure
Matt's car broke down on the way and had to fix his car, hence the oil patches.
Does anyone know where I can catch new JRE videos? I can’t find them 😢
where can I find the full podcast?
Hey Joe, tell us about the Izzy fight again
I would love to see Rick and Marty Lagina from “The Curse of Oak Island” on the show!
Love them. Sadly, i think whoever put the treasure there retrieved it long ago. I hope im wrong.
Rick and Morty ?
Need another podcast with Matt
Okay Mat! Big time on Joe Rogans podcast haha
I read a lot of hate over the years about CrossFit, I tried it last year and I honestly don’t understand where the hate comes from. It’s Oly lifting, running, and agility style training during each workout. I’m not sure what there is to hate lol
Lol preach brother!
It's the fact that they treat lifting as a sport which it isn't. You should never be doing olympic lifts in time increments it leads to bad form which leads to injuries.
@@PmK96 I definitely agree that doing Olympic lifts right after sprinting 200m, and doing 50lb dumbbell snatches can lead to poor form, which leads to injury. But to say that it’s somehow not a sport because it doesn’t have an object going into some kind of goal isn’t valid.
@@lukeblankenship8424 you're definition is wonky, it can be more than that. Usually I'm sport you compete to be the best at something. CF doesn't have the best at lifting, running, etc just mediocre athletes that do these events which are just random. Putting them together doesn't determine the best at jumping, lifting, running, falling or even doing pushups. When you go to a lifting event, those are the strongest people trying to find the best at squats, bench, clean/jerk,etc.
As long as you get exercice and have a good physiotherapist, it's still better than doing nothing so its way better than the 30%+ of obese population (just don't get them to do crossfit to lose weight). Just like bodybuilding and its bro science, physio clinics will keep making mint on people trying to combine olympic lifting with speed and fatigue inducing workouts.
Because people are ignorant theyd rather talk shit about something rather than try it themselves. I don't talk to those kind of people
Finally this happened. Mat is the GOAT. Say what you want about crossfit but those elite games athletes are super humans
yikes....
It’s pathetic, some are on steroids, some aren’t, some have better techniques in some exercises and others have better techniques in other exercises, the way it’s scored is so all over, the competitors have multiple different score keepers also, it’s so all over the show who can win it’s a retarded sport that is full of nerds.
Super humans? All those injuries from poor form and stupidity say differently.
Froning is superior to Fraser
@@Team_Banchamek the only thing thats pathetic is your comment
The way Joe asked ..."can ya?" ...so cute🤭
💪🏼Trabajando en construyendo un cuerpo increible!💪🏼
Mats mindset is amazing. Really helped me over the years dialing in my weaknesses. I translate his fitness advice into entrepreneurship. I hope he gets into coffee. We can all use his influence.
I was able to meet Mat Fraser in Afghanistan when he came out to visit us during Christmas, seemed like a genuine guy happy with what he’s doing.
6:40
I broke my back!
(Tyson)
What part ??
Spinal
😂😂
Been waiting for this one
No you havent
@@liamnissanS2K well said
CrossFit on JRE, Spotify has something to do with this...
Cause joe doesnt like buff boys????
😂
damn he really is the best at exercising
The best by far the second place guy is usually 150-160 points behind him in the game
He’s the best at hammering nails but can’t build a house 😂😂
lolololololololololololololololol
@@fernandosalazar1011 5’6” 195lbs with single digit body fat is built
I like when rogan says , he does it to try and break his mind and will. that is pretty cool
I started CrossFit a few weeks back . I’ve seen major changes and it was hell on my body the first 2 weeks but I’m good now I crave it.
I've been going for going on 4 years. I'm in better shape at 38 than I was at 22. That's after playing 3-4 sports a year in highschool and going to the gym all throughout college.
Keep it up. Listen to your body. Identify your weaknesses and erase them one by one!
The goal is literally to be the best average athlete.
That's hard to train for. You can't really be great at one thing.
Professional intramural athlete.
More like the goal is to see who can fuck up their body the most.
No, this guy's fitness far exceeds the 'average' in every domain he gets tested in. The Goal is to be the best all-rounder, which is a very different thing.
Ah someone else who knows the truth about CrossShit.
CrossShit is a watered down decathlon.
zero, zero, zero aaaand zeroooooo
Grand total of zero
🤣🤣🤣
infinite elgintensity
This has been LOOOOONG overdue
He is an example that his experience in weightlifting is making a HUGE difference!!!!
Went to competition with broken back...
Crossfit athletes are all natty...... okay go!!!!😂😁🤣
Lol my thoughts exactly too
joes face when he said he lifted with a broken spine lol
Which brand is JR’s t-shirt?
I don't think Joe Realises what a monster this man actually is
If Joe was going to bring someone from Crossfit to interview, I would have thought: Greg Glassmen (who is no longer affiliated with Crossfit anymore), Dave Castro, Rich Froning, or Jason Khalipa. But I am pleasantly surprised to see Fraser to be the first to represent Crossfit on JRE.
Why would he bring anyone except the greatest CF athlete of all time? No one wants to hear from Castro lmfao
@@x_____________ khalipa is pretty well known, Joe is even friends with him
@@x_____________ Because he's the director of the games, he's programs all the workouts, and he's a navy seal.
@@x_____________ except no one could beat Rich once he went on his run, the only reason this guy started winning was Rich retired
@@diychad7268 lol Rich retired because he knew his time was up and Mat was gonna kick his ass at the next Games.
This deserves more views!
mate it's like half an hour old
I just watched the CrossFit games and it’s dope asf
