Synopsis

Transform your body and mind with the definitive guide to building peak strength, endurance, and speed, from the five-time CrossFit Games champion and Fittest Man on Earth

No matter your level of fitness, no matter if you’ve never attempted CrossFit before, this book is your total training manual.
 
Mat Fraser is undisputedly the fittest man in CrossFit history for winning the CrossFit Games an unprecedented five times. A student of engineering, Fraser optimized his body like a machine, and his absolute dedication to the training program he designed for himself is now legendary. For years, every single decision he made was weighed against the question: "Will this help me win?" If the answer was no, he didn't do it. If it would give him even the slightest edge or advantage, he would—no matter the cost. Fraser became a master of identifying his weaknesses and then seeking out training methods to improve them, and he's idolized in the fitness community for his relentless pursuit of peak performance. It's not hard to see why he achieved so much success—but how is a different question.

Throughout his career, Fraser has been highly guarded about his specific training techniques (after all, sharing them would not help him win the CrossFit Games). But with his recent retirement from competition, Fraser is finally ready to open up about his path to the podium. HWPO reveals the workouts, training hacks, eating plans, and mental strategies that have helped make him a champion. It's an incredible resource of elite training strategies, illustrated workouts, and motivational stories, and it's a glimpse into the mind of one of the world's greatest athletes.

*Includes a downloadable PDF of exercises, recipes, logs, and other HWPO tools

Goodreads review by Stefan

Fantastic athlete. Bad book. A few personal anecdotes, a lot of random workouts, drawings of proper form and a ton of recipes. Not nearly personal enough to give me the feeling that I got to know Mat Fraser better, and not detailed enough to help me improve my training (I'm not an elite athlete - bu......more

This book is hot trash. I want to like it because I like Mat Fraser. I like his legacy and history, I like his personality and his interaction with fans. But this book feels like he wanted to check "write a book" off his Bucket List and threw together a pile of words into a word processor. Part of the......more

Goodreads review by Julie

This book was amazing. I have to admit, it was not what I expected it to be. I have read a decent amount of CrossFit athletes books and they were more ‘memoirs’ where this is more of a guide for athletes who essentially want to perform at Mat Fraser’s level. I have been doing CrossFit for about 12 y......more

From the first pages, Mat discusses that this book is to be used as a training manual. In this sense he does fulfill this promise. He provides workouts, times, and percentages to use with weights. However, little else in the sense of what HWPO means is elaborated or explained well. If you have watch......more
