Publisher Description
Transform your body and mind with the definitive guide to building peak strength, endurance, and speed, from the five-time CrossFit Games champion and Fittest Man on Earth
No matter your level of fitness, no matter if you’ve never attempted CrossFit before, this book is your total training manual.
Mat Fraser is undisputedly the fittest man in CrossFit history for winning the CrossFit Games an unprecedented five times. A student of engineering, Fraser optimized his body like a machine, and his absolute dedication to the training program he designed for himself is now legendary. For years, every single decision he made was weighed against the question: "Will this help me win?" If the answer was no, he didn't do it. If it would give him even the slightest edge or advantage, he would—no matter the cost. Fraser became a master of identifying his weaknesses and then seeking out training methods to improve them, and he's idolized in the fitness community for his relentless pursuit of peak performance. It's not hard to see why he achieved so much success—but how is a different question.
Throughout his career, Fraser has been highly guarded about his specific training techniques (after all, sharing them would not help him win the CrossFit Games). But with his recent retirement from competition, Fraser is finally ready to open up about his path to the podium. HWPO reveals the workouts, training hacks, eating plans, and mental strategies that have helped make him a champion. It's an incredible resource of elite training strategies, illustrated workouts, and motivational stories, and it's a glimpse into the mind of one of the world's greatest athletes.
*Includes a downloadable PDF of exercises, recipes, logs, and other HWPO tools

BOX TALE OF THE CENTURY
Matt Fraser opens the reality of CrossFit to not only the beginner or intermediate athlete but the reality of being a games athlete the sacrifices you have to make the preparation that goes into competing, the injuries, and last the glory of being at the top of the food chain in the sport. I have always looked up to and respected Matt because this man clearly has a mind that forces him to go in the fire rather than run from it, if you’ve ever stepped into a CrossFit box or attempted a CrossFit Workout you can easily attest to the suffering he went through. Overall a great book and you get more than what you pay for with PDF included
Decent
Good book about all the little details yet Matt missed the details of this book and didn’t read it himself? I would have given it one more star if he would have read it.
Wish he would have taken more time to write this book.
The book jumps between coaching suggestions and stories of his past. Not really a ear burner or all that interesting. Listening to Mat on podcast is more entertaining.
