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
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?
Without getting to sociologically philosophical, it's much more normal today than it was for previous generations. That being said, it is nice to have something to devote time to, even if you end up changing it. I'm 28 and have applied myself to a few different things since high school already, and will probably change again. That's just me. Some people around me can choose something straight outta high school and stick with it for 60 years, but I'm not wired like that.
I was a late bloomer as well. I'll never forget when I was told, "Find something you're passionate about and make a career out of it." The journey will be filled with ups and downs, but keep the goal in mind and you will succeed. Best of luck.
Jay I agree. I've wasted 4 years of my life. The problem is I KNOW what I was born to do, I'm just lazy af. When I get my shit together, I will be on top of the world.
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.
Still...what was he on at 13? That's crazy! Although, I do know an average 15 yr old, who hit a PR of 100kg and touched his first barbell just a year prior. There's something to be said of good coaching.
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). 😣
Don't let the saccharine,brainwashed smiles fool you man-😐 You're absolutely correct to just sit in the corner and brood vs joining them in their lunacy-👍

So he talked about how he didn't want to compete and go on a cycle. So now that he competes and actually takes it seriously. Does he go on these said cycles ? 🤔
He's clearly talking about not wanting to do a training cycle. He said that he only went in a couple times per week, which isn't really conducive to a planned out training cycle.
Typically a weightlifting training cycle can be anywhere from 10-12 weeks. Depending on what type of lifter you are, they can be very taxing on the body.
Mike Luna Nope, I love doing crossfit but there is times and movements for speed in different things and that's why we do Olympic lifting separate on one day to just work on technique and strength. I know some workouts have them but I don't think it's a good idea so you slow it down and forget about time and just work in doing lifts. Atleast I look at it that way.
i have seen more meathead dudes in the globo gym throwing weights around in horrible form because they can't lift the actual weight if they just stood still. MRIs of their spines are horrific. Don't lay it all at Crossfit's feet.
LoL. But seriously, in order to succeed in crossfit you have to suck at pretty much every other sport you did. So you'll say, well I don't have much talent let me just punish myself...

Such a legend!
ObesetoBeast you will be one day! You're helping too many people not to become a legend.
ObesetoBeast yeah man you've really inspired me. Down to 215 from 240 since last summer!
Mat Fraser, Brooke Ence and Sara Sigmundsdottir are my fav athletes! Awesome personalities, funny and humble people! keep up the good work.

buddy, going on 7 years for my bachelor of science degree. Just keep chipping.
Love how real Mat is here. Humble beginnings and hard work made him the most fit man in the world.

"Last time I missed a 225 jerk I was 13" wtf were u on at 13
Anto Francisco when i was 13 i was like 5'3 120 pounds, and i could probably do 15 pushups and 3 pullups in a row
Olympic weightlifters are strong
i think he means 225 pounds not kg
Still...what was he on at 13? That's crazy! Although, I do know an average 15 yr old, who hit a PR of 100kg and touched his first barbell just a year prior. There's something to be said of good coaching.
letitfly from downtown those are bodyweight exercises, impressive for your age but very different from doing a 225 lb clean and jerk
Great content! I think the music in the video should be louder tough.

Don't we all know that feeling of having wasted our time with Olympia and stuff?
Poor Mat Fraser! Why he didn't want to do Crossfit?
Anyone know the name of the second song? The rap with the beat?
I agree Mat.. I don't wanna do crossfit either. I just wanna lift weights.
Penelope416 Hahaha forreal I prefer real pull-ups
They don't really do anything in crossfit but just snatch shit in the air, lol.
guess you didn't watch the video... leave some negativity elsewhere
G1LLAY_101 how is my comment spreading negativity?
+G1LLAY_101 "they don't really do anything in crossfit" ....ummm
repost
no interest in parting... what a nark
No one should be doing snatches or clean and jerks for "time."
Mike Luna thank you

Some people like to break bones and hurt muscles, crossfits for some people!

first
Training should be for a sport. It shouldn't BE the sport.
I would do crossfit if I was gay too.
im gay then rofl and i bet i left bigger than you,
Hector Sanchez you also need to vap
LoL. But seriously, in order to succeed in crossfit you have to suck at pretty much every other sport you did. So you'll say, well I don't have much talent let me just punish myself...
MrBreakingbad and to troll cross fit you have to be shitty at every sport and then suck at cross fit,damn your life sucks troll.
