Just so you all know. CrossFit was created for Special Forces Units that needed to be in top shape, just in case they got into any kind of situation. I am in the Army, and CrossFit applies to me 100%. If it helps me run countless miles and still have enough energy to do workouts (the running translates into "theres no evac and you gotta run / ruck 20 miles back to the fob, and energy for the workouts translates into I have enough energy to kill the enemy at any moment, or save my battle" then I am in good enough shape for any situation. CrossFit is about being in awesome shape.

Rich Froning, the one guy that managed to reach the halfway mark to Chuck Norris' records.

whats the point of crossfit ?.. can they win tour de france or some weightlifting competition if they are fittest men on earth ?... or is this all just for endless pointless workouts sake ..
anyway.. no question about them being fit and strong people...they would probably make great manual labourers...

The dude is a monster and a great inspiration deserves all good fortune that comes his way!!

"We might not see another Rich Froning for another hundred years once the kid has come and gone." One year later Matt Fraser blows his competition by a margin Froning never touched.

Wow, I miss watching that man compete as an individual. He's one of the all time greats in my eyes. That kind of dominance is going to be near impossible to match in this sport.

[misterairsoft]

Thank you, finally someone understands. As i said i live for weightlifting and i live for crossfit, if you truly love something and work your ass off to the point where you just want to curl up into a ball and sleep for 3 days straight like i do, you'll amaze yourself at what you can accomplish.

Man I sort of miss the days of Rich's dominance. Matt is begining his reign of dominance but to me he doesnt seem to exude that same fear into his competitors, perhaps it is because its early days yet. But looking at this video and others, you could tell majority of the athletes going agaisnt rich just knew they couldn't beat him. They were already going into competition defeated because they were in awe of Rich. What a beast he was, and still is! Imagine if he comes back to individual!?

**EDIT
In this vid Josh Bridges seems the only one who believes he could

[Muscle_Manual]

I really hope Rich returns to individual in the Masters divisions

[RVGENomini]

After seeing this vid, I'm now convinced he's the best exerciser in the world. Props bro.

The first step to beating Rich Froning would be to stop giving him an omnipotent homoerotic aura.

[kevinu]

what a beast, everyone's talking about him... whenever uve reached that level of respect and psyche then one knows you're something special! i'm mainly a bodybuilder but i'm very functional and ripped to shreds naturally but I personally wouldn't train full time with crossfit for various reasons

[dude]

Well, you don't beat him by doing crossfit training, that's for sure.

[ironmandal]

Crossfit is great. It makes you feel like an athlete.

[jasonjackson]

How do you beat Rich Froning ... you don't if you think that way. Every one of these elite athletes said how they are concerned about him & yet Rich does not obsess with thoughts about whether people are going to beat him.

First & foremost you make yourself a winner & forget about everyone & everything else. It is *only* about personal achievement, raising your own bar & giving it your all - he said it at .45 that is what I believe Rich does & the results followed. 

Bottom line - you gotta want it.

Why is there so much hate on cross fit i mean everyone is hating on crossfit. Like I go gym like i have started but i dont get the hate really
