Resumen del Editor

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

Champ champ champ champ champ

Outstanding story from THE MAN. 5x champ did not happen by accident. HWPO
Thank you for sharing your secrets

When the GOAT has something to say, you listen!

Love it! Loved his perspective on all things training. The only thing that would’ve made it better is if HE was narrating it.

As a crossfit athlete, I really enjoyed listening this book.

Now I understand why May Fraser is the champion and the meaning of HWPO. I really learned about the tips and advices. Recommended. But also, this is very technical in crossfit terms, for a no crossfit person could be difficult to understand.

Good for what it is

I read a bunch of reviews of this book bashing it because it doesn't seem to reveal any of Mat's secrets to being the greatest male CrossFit athlete. If you bought this expecting the keys to the castle or the golden ticket, you probably were disappointed.

I bought this book to learn a bit about Mat Fraser, his mindset as a successful elite CrossFit athlete, and some of the ways he prepares himself (and now his athletes) to compete.

I walked away from the book with two keys that will work for me: recovery isn't "let it all hang out" time...it should be specific and calculated too. And, willingness to enter the pain cave is a measure of your commitment to the sport.

All in all, I liked the book.

Great Book!

I like this book a lot. Good insight into his performance. Great tips and loved the pdfs that it came with, also tried the hwpo program and I love it.

Exactly what you should expect

Matt does a great job of explaining his process in his normal Fraser way. It was a great quick listen. I'd recommend it to anyone.

my new favorite book

If you know anything about the sport of CrossFit you are definitely going to want this book! I completed it in my first day and I know I'm going to go back and re-listen to it. the information and perspective on training is exactly what you would expect from the 5× fittest champion.

Short & Sweet

Quick listen w/ useful information sprinkled within the story line. I enjoyed HWPO by Mat Fraser

Great story, weird shift to instructional content

The storyline is great, love hearing how Mat became the fittest! The shift to instructional content seemed super weird. I tend to listen to audiobooks when I am working. or out on runs and it was odd to listen to instructions on how to get your first pull up. I felt like it was filler content. either way the book was great, but just wish it had more content!

a must-have for any crossfitter

useful tips for anyone that wants to become proficient at the sport of crossfit. a must
