Train with the Fittest Man on Earth—five-time CrossFit champion Mat Fraser.

No matter your level of fitness, no matter if you've never attempted CrossFit before, this book is your total training manual.

No one can say they're a better all-around athlete than Mat Fraser. Weightlifting, gymnastics, kettlebells, running, swimming, rowing, Strongman: he's relentlessly trained them all, so you don't have to.

In this ground-breaking book, Fraser reveals the secrets of his success to help you transform your own body and mind. Structured into sections on strength, endurance, speed, coordination, mental and recovery, Mat shares workouts, techniques, recipes and advice. From push-ups to sprints, rope climbs to deadlifts, high-knee drills to swimming intervals, the book showcases CrossFit's uniquely wide-ranging and infinitely scalable approach to exercise. There is tailored advice for beginners, intermediates and advanced athletes.

So listen to this book at the gym. Write down your personal records and the techniques you need to master. And most of all, do the workouts. Because Mat Fraser can promise you this: hard work pays off.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Mat reads the introduction to the book, and sadly he was a better narrator than the narrator who would read the rest of the book.

I felt that Mat gave lots of new advice in this book. Those who follow his YouTube channel will recognise a lot of this advice already, but there is certainly some new content in here that’s worth checking out.

I still feel Mat only brushed the surface. He doesn’t go to the darker or harder places of being a high level athlete, and doesn’t give a great amount of detail regarding his training. Everything is almost too neatly packaged. I wanted all the guts and sticky bits but I guess that’s too uncomfortable to share.

I liked the parts where he talked about training with Tia.

Mat delivers good advice but still keeps cards hidden.

Loved the story and the PDF file that comes whit it. Sure i wish it would be Fraser that did all the telling. But anyhow. It was a good inspirational story.
