I tried five-time CrossFit Games champ Mat Fraser’s ‘secret workout’ – now it’s a staple in my training

Five-time ‘fittest man on earth’ Mat Fraser has one workout he repeatedly used to stay at the top of his game during his CrossFit Games unbeaten streak - (REX)

Mat Fraser has won the CrossFit Games more times than any other male athlete – five, to be exact. Given this is a competition to find the ‘fittest on earth’, many have dubbed him ‘the fittest man in history’.

But despite the impressive physical feats he’s capable of, from handstand walking to heaving 170kg over his head, his go-to workout has surprisingly wide appeal. Having tried it for the first time a few years ago, I genuinely believe it has something to offer all comers, and it’s now a regular fixture in my training plans.
