Froning: The Fittest Man in History [Official Trailer]

Rich Froning Jr. entered the 2014 Reebok CrossFit Games with three consecutive victories—a feat no other athlete had accomplished. After finding CrossFit in 2009, Froning began a history-making career, finishing second at the CrossFit Games in 2010 and dominating the competition for the next four years. His four titles, five trips to the podium, 16 event wins, 35 top-five event finishes and 45 top-10 event finishes are all records, and he’s revered in the community.

Froning’s athletic prowess has been under the microscope for five years, but there’s much more to the man from Tennessee than snatches and pull-ups. In this in-depth documentary by CrossFit HQ’s Heber Cannon, take a look into the life and childhood of the fittest man in history, follow his quest to a fourth-straight CrossFit Games championship, and see him as a son, a husband and a new father.

Rich Froning is the fittest man in history. The Cross fit games consists of multiple fitness exercises and he has come on top four consecutive times which is the record to beat. People are saying he's laughable and that slim, scrawny marathon runners are fitter than him. You must be joking, this man is a machine and an idol.

Can't even begin to imagine what this guy's heart is actually like. His cardio CRAZY

[JRR.]

Crossfire and Rich Froning:
Thank you for all the inspiration you've provided me during the last 5 years.
You are a true blessing to my life and my family.

Two things I've learned:
A) The rain will come. The question is have you dug your ditches to collect it?
B) 1 Corinthians 10:31 - God gets the glory.

They're not saying Froning is better or fitter at one particular sport. They never claimed Froning was faster or fitter than Usain Bolt at sprinting. Or a better fitter swimmer than an Olympic level swimmer. What they're saying is Froning is fitter than those athletes. Why because he is fitter at more excercises than them. He has more cardio and muscle endurance overall in more ways than those people. Which means he is fitter.

Before I say I am stating that I think anyone who perform at the top of a sport is a beast. Oly lifters, decathletes, NBA and NFL players. Soccer players etc. but I think fitness should be how adaptable you are to real life situations. If someone who only trains for Olympic lifting had to run away from something for 2 miles, they might as well be compared to an average joe if not worse. If a triathlete had to pick up something extremely heavy, in that situation they might as well not be an athlete at all. Ironman athletes are amazing btw. If a bodybuilder or decathlete had to swim they may just suck at it. the decathlete may perform well because of the body type. But thats why Rich Froning is a good candidate for being the Fittest Man in History. You can't put him in a physical situation where he'll perform average in respect to everyone. Everyone is aware that the title is an inflation but the decathletes is called the World's Greatest Athlete but never has to lift a barbell. Aston Eaton is still amazing though. But they arent gonna title it "Rich Froning: A very fit guy by our definition"

[ccax]

Fitness is defined as the quality of being suitable to perform a particular task. So there is no "fittest" man/woman unless you define the task first. Rich is very good at CrossFit, but e.g. not even an average runner. Calling him the "fittest man in history" is about as smart as calling Ronda Rousey the "most dominant athlete in history" and nothing more than marketing.

At exactly what time will it be released on iTunes in Australia? I am literally frothing at mouth waiting for this to drop.

[TheAFNS]

Does anyone know the name of the song that start at 0:13 please ?

[ashsargison]

When will this be released on NZ iTunes? :)

[MADHATTAPRODUCER]

How can he be the fittest man in history? The crossfit games only happen in America. Of course some of the top contenders fly over from various countries. That still doesn't make him the fittest man in history because only wealthy people outside America would be able to do this. He can named the fittest man in crossfit history easily, but history nope. Professional marathon runners would be fitter that him. Some professional football (soccer) players would be fitter than him. Triathletes would be fitter than him. Look up Ironman Triathlon.

[vitaliykharechko]

When will you get that Crossfit is a "Put together" of a several skills, endurance, strenght and ETC
Rich Fronning is the Fittest man on earth, because he can win at ALL Of those skills, not particulary 1 SKILL, of course that a person who only trains for endurance will have a much bigger endurance than a person who only trains strenght.
Seriously you people should stop with the pathetic criticism, Can you do better? Once you're able to you should be the one who gets the word, because you only know how hard it is once you're in that spot...
