Fraser tortures fitness blogger

@2die Oh, honey.

@mbahchidinma He absolutely destroyed his knee last year and he’s a new dad so I’m guessing he’s lost some gainz

@eeyore5 Pretty good content haha. I wish my gym did HWPO programming.

 

[needhelp101]

@eeyore5 This actually gave me a lot of confidence. We should all be proud of what we are capable of

@eeyore5 I really appreciate some of the questions Will was asking Mat:

"Do you think CrossFit is a cult?"

"'Fittest Person on Earth.' Is that an accurate title?"

 

[mattbraunlin]

@eeyore5 I like both of them, but this made me glad I made the switch to CF from BB/PL

@eeyore5 Will Tennyson is the man. his content has been getting better and better lately

 

[georgesblog]

@johnny4christjesus He looks like a fit dude. What’s he do for fitness?

 

[mel21688]

@georgesblog He’s a bodybuilder and dabbled in powerlifting.

 

[georgesblog]

@mel21688 That makes sense. Then”athletic” type lifts like Cleans and wall balls looked very hard for him.

 

[mel21688]

@georgesblog He has a pretty good sealift and squat and bench though, but he’s definitely bodybuilder stiff!

@eeyore5 As someone who has only been doing Crossfit for a month, I can completely relate to Will here. I suck at all the endurance and cardio stuff (for now...). I'm fine with weights, but I always want to tap out during the WODs.

I also nearly broke my neck the first time I tried a HSPU, it can be quite daunting if you aren't comfortable upside down or confident you can hold your weight.

Will's experience in this video does not surprise me at all, and is basically me at every WOD (which are much less intense than these sessions).

Good content!

@eeyore5 that dude is strong AF.

 

[chrissyk]

@eeyore5 Will is such a great YouTuber! He ain’t a typical bodybuilder who hates CrossFit

 

[meddy43]

@eeyore5 I literally laughed when you said tortured. It pretty much was. Great video.

 

[hallbee66]

@eeyore5 “I can barely stand on my feet some days.” Same Will, same.

@eeyore5 Great vid. I also love Will’s discussion vid with Dr. Mike:

 

[skywalker]

@eeyore5 A bit douchey to try to get him to handstand walk. The guy clearly has zero conditioning, so was odd that Fraser was so surprised that he couldn't handle metcons. There's 1/3 of a million views and if I wasn't into crossfit, I'd think that Fraser came across as a bit of a tool (I don't think he is by the way, just I can imagine that would be my takeaway if this was the only time I had seen him. He must have realised how basic this guy's fitness is compared to an elite level crossfitter).

 

[jamesbond004]

@skywalker The video is about him joining Mat for Mat's daily routine. If his daily routine has handstand work, were they just supposed to skip it? The whole point is to demonstrate the difficulty of Mat's routine, even for someone who's really active (Will).

 

[nbrown83]

@skywalker He didn't want him to handstand walk, just be able to kick up into a handstand.

It didn't come across to me that Matt was surprised he was struggling during the metcon he was surprised he couldn't catch a wallball
