Sevan MatossianHOST
So I would see Serena.
Sevan MatossianHOST
Well, just like just like I think I think I think that you could argue that Frazier is better than Froning.
Sevan MatossianHOST
But what Froning did was he took the whole thing to the next level.
Sevan MatossianHOST
No? That's not easy for you just to be like, yeah.
Sevan MatossianHOST
No, I agree.
Dave IngmireGUEST
And so definitely got way more into the CrossFit sport.
Dave IngmireGUEST
And obviously 2016, that's like peak, you know, Froning, Frasier, like CrossFit is huge at that point too.
Dave IngmireGUEST
And so it was pretty easy to get into the sport and also just being around the equipment all day, every day.
Dave IngmireGUEST
We had some, once we moved to, because we were in the building that's directly behind where CrossFit Grandview is today.

Toyota, let's go places.
RobbieHOST
Rich Froning was once called the fittest man in the world.
RobbieHOST
Arguably, he's a pretty fit dude still today.
RobbieHOST
But he won, individually and with a team, the CrossFit World Championships 10 years in a row.
RobbieHOST
Well, Rich is a phenomenal individual, phenomenal human, but he's also a very keen hunter.
RobbieHOST
Because it's elk season right now, we wanted to flash back to Rich Froning's podcast episode with us.
RobbieHOST
It was into his second year of hunting.
RobbieHOST
He had gone elk hunting the year before and was unsuccessful and was prepping now to go elk hunting again, and we just talked through hunting, we talked through conservation, we talked through the hectic flak that he got constantly from his community because he suddenly decided to tell everybody that he's a hunter.
Jake PyeHOST
I mean, that's the... your like your build you're quite a bit you're probably like the biggest guy on the high rocks pro scene aren't you like do you think do you think your your build is kind of the ideal build or do you think it is a little bit smaller or do you because it obviously works for you you know and how you're saying that you're or do you think there is an ideal build really because it's such a mixed event
Hunter McIntyreGUEST
i mean dude i really think that you're gonna watch people come in in the next five years that have close to a 29 minute 10K time at their peak and they did really good strength and conditioning and they're probably like 175 pounds like they they're just so perfectly designed for the sport where like it just kind of hones in over time like if you watch CrossFit Matt Frazier and Rich Froning almost with the same body and so like every single champion is around the same body Now the sport's changed a little bit.
Hunter McIntyreGUEST
So the body's changed a little bit.
Hunter McIntyreGUEST
Like the last two champions were Jason Hopper and James Sprague.
Pat SpinosaHOST
The guy that lives next to y'all in Nashville that I went and worked out with him.
Pat SpinosaHOST
Rich Froning.
Zach SielerGUEST
You know what I'm talking about? I absolutely know what I'm talking about.
Pat SpinosaHOST
Froning? Froning? Hannah's like, I always mess up.
Pat SpinosaHOST
Rich Froning.
Pat SpinosaHOST
If
Zach SielerGUEST
you could tell, who do you think out of the two of us is the one that remembers birthdays? You.
AngeloGUEST
So
BrandonHOST
your top three were Froning, Frazier, and then Vellner.
BrandonHOST
And they absolutely demolished the workout.
BrandonHOST
Now, everyone knows their names.
Rich RyanGUEST
Like, there would be more, like, we could see a Centro coming out and just doing it, putting it on his Instagram.
Rich RyanGUEST
We would see, uh, a Rich Froning would probably be a little bit more interested in something like this, and, like, it would get more people in the door.
Rich RyanGUEST
I, I don't disagree with that.
Rich RyanGUEST
And it could be, the t-
Matt CarterGUEST
[laughs]
Joby MartinHOST
You, you know Rich Froning? He's like the GOAT of CrossFit.
Matt CarterGUEST
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Joby MartinHOST
Okay.
Cameron HanesGUEST
They compete.
Cameron HanesGUEST
So it's like, If I have a CrossFit guy, say a Rich Froning, then a Jason Hopper, who's the current CrossFit champion, he wants to know how Froning did.
Cameron HanesGUEST
So it's like everybody kind of categorizes themselves into what they do.
Cameron HanesGUEST
And then it's like they want to be the best at that compared to the other people that do that.
ColinHOST
Because in 2009, we did something very similar.
ColinHOST
And, like, I also, like, very elegantly love that programming because it was, like, such a... like explosive like hip because like the entire point of it was it was mixed with the pig right and like I feel like even Froning talked about this on Instagram about how he didn't like how the pig like was not existent in that workout and I was like yes it was because the entire point of it was the exact opposite of what the GHD med ball was
NolanHOST
you're
ColinHOST
explosively closing your hip on the GHD med ball you're explosively opening your hip on the pig like yeah that was the whole point of the workout yes the triple unders kind of took precedence because people couldn't do them but that's not That's not the programmer's
