Hey guys - just scrolling through stories on Instagram and came across Mat Fraser doing a QnA and he answers the question "where did you come up with the crazy over handed double under technique?" and then shows a picture of him holding the rope handle. Hooooow the hell?? I've looked for videos online of him showing it or doing it because I can't wrap my head around it! But I can't find anything... Help?? I've attached the screenshot....

Now that the program has been out for coming up on 3 months, for those of you who have been using it, I’d like to hear your reviews!
I don’t dislike Fraser, he’s a badass, but his appearance on Rogan (and even some of his Mat, Josh, & Sevan episodes) is embarrassing. He’s a champion & focused, I get that, but he’s also comes across as an asshole. CrossFit isn’t perfect and that’s why I have a home gym, but he never once said anything that cast CrossFit, it’s methodology, it’s community, or it’s ability to change lives in a positive light. It’s beyond obvious May Fraser cares about only Mat Fraser (which is totally fine) but he’s a shitty ambassador for CrossFit and comes across as ungracious for the opportunities he lucked into. And that doesn’t even begin to I confront the anti-vaccine and downplaying Covid.
Update: Great perspectives from everybody and I appreciate the civility. I did listen to Mat’s interview with Josh Bailey & Sevan (#12) and he admits he wished he’d said a few things about the lives changed for the better by CrossFit but he got a bit of stage fright which is totally understandable. Also Rogan gets on these tangents (they’re always the same) and it takes the conversation in weird directions. I think Fraser struggled with that aspect of the conversation and I think even he knows he didn’t do the best interview. So all in all, is my title a bit harsh? Yes, absolutely. Do I still think it’s true? Yes. Two ideas can be true at the same time. I can believe Mat Fraser is a badass champion and at the same a self-absorbed, poor advocate for his sport. As with most athletes, I respect his accomplishments but I don’t think he’d be a lot of fun to be friends with, which is totally fine.
Some of us are intrigued by how is the Mat Fraser programming. Well, he released a video yesterday showing how it is one day of it. Enjoy and comment!
Just listened to Joe Rogan’s podcast with Mat Fraser. Do we know the reason given, if any, as to why Mat Fraser wasn’t invited to the 2014 Invitational after he finished 2nd as a rookie? They invited the 1st place (Rich Froning) and the 3rd place (Jason Khalipa) finishers, skipping right over Mat. Kind of a douche move...
Some people are just built different. A few months back I shared a story of Alex Volkanski, UFC champ that suffered from a herniated disc and still managed to become a world champ.
Now we have to story of Mat Fraser, who "broke" the facet on his L5, got surgery and became a multiple world champ.
I'm over here complaining about my bulging disc and these dudes are out here being Savages.
More secrets gonna be revealed
