Uncategorized What To Expect When You’re Expecting (Fat Loss) There’s no way to make dieting easy or fun. If you’re already an Eat to Perform member, you know. The lack of ego is conspicuous — suspicious even — coming from a guy who has the physique of a superhero and the title to match: “Fittest Man on Earth.” Epic blowhards have been born out of a fraction of the bragging rights Froning possesses, but the 2. Tennessee native manages to stay grounded even as his star continues to rise. It wasn’t always that way. Froning, a devout Christian and avid Bible reader, might say that’s an apt description of himself heading into the 2. Cross. Fit Games. A relative unknown, Froning tore through the competition and was poised to win it when his arms gave out during a rope climb and he fell 1. With the fall, the pride was gone. Froning can quote the verse word for word: “May I never boast in anything except for the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ which has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”“I wouldn’t say that God made me win in 2. With the $2. 50,0. Cross. Fit Games, Froning and his wife Hilary bought a house. They soon added a separate 6. Rogue Fitness outfitted with affiliate- level gear, so Froning only has to walk a few steps from his front door to be in a world- class box. We asked CrossFitter Rich Froning for his top fitness tips, and got a handful to follow — and three you should probably ignore. They train for free, but they have to put in their time. So I guess it’s not really free,” Froning says. Some just started Cross. Fit a few months ago, and then some guys can push me on workouts, so it is pretty good.”Is it hard to get an invite? By midafternoon, he has usually finished his third WOD, and he’s not done yet. For the 2. 01. 1 Cross. Fit Games champion, five workouts a day is business as usual, overtraining is an urban legend and rest days are nonexistent. Here’s a glance at the wall- to- wall workouts in a day of Rich Froning’s life. Wake up, read the Bible. Warm up on the Airdyne to get loose, then begin first WOD. Train a group of professional motocross athletes (and occasionally jump into their workout). A member of the Tennessee Tech football coaching staff comes over to work on some big lifts, like squats or deadlifts. Afterward, they complete a WOD that will include the lift that was just practiced. Practice Olympic lifts and then perform a WOD that includes the lift that was just practiced. Evening: Do an interval workout on the Concept. Training Machine. It’s fitting that a Bible passage graces Froning’s body because his metabolic system has undoubtedly been touched by God. In a world of hyper- trained athletes, Froning stands out for the sheer volume of exercise he performs in one day. Most trainers and athletes espouse quality over quantity and mutter platitudes like, “Less is more.” For Froning, more is more. He regularly completes three WODs a day, along with powerlifting, monostructural intervals and Olympic lifting sessions. He can’t remember the last time he took a full day off from training, and by his own admission, he has never heard of an athlete who trains as much as he does. To be honest, I feel worse if I don’t do a ton of volume,” he says. I will tell myself to take it easy one day, but then four or five workouts later, I’m like, . He can speak eloquently about block periodization, overtraining syndrome and glycogen replenishment — though the concepts just don’t apply to him. Even before he found Cross. Fit, when he was studying for his physical education classes, he remembers thinking that he didn’t fit any of the conventional training wisdom he was reading about. Most world- class athletes are on a periodized plan that meticulously lays out their workouts at least several weeks in advance. Froning, who does not have a coach and prefers a team of dedicated training partners, only has the barest of ideas on how he will train each day when he wakes up. The met- cons in particular are a blank slate. He goes purely by instinct, waiting to see how he feels about a certain day before programming his sessions. He is an enigma even to himself. His mother’s parents were farmers, and both sides of the family placed a high value on hard work. His father used to invent chores for his children rather than see them be idle. Competition came easily to him. He is one of 3. 0 first cousins on his mother’s side, 2. Division 1 schools. His 2. 1- year- old cousin, Darren Hunsucker, recently started Cross. Fit and is one of the only athletes who can keep up with Froning’s volume. But there’s one more factor that undoubtedly contributes to Froning’s stunning success: He benefits from an ability to brutally assess and tackle his own weaknesses. After the rope- climbing debacle of 2. Froning shot up a rope at the 2. Games and sent the message that Rich Froning would only ever be caught once by a mistake. When he started Cross. Fit in June 2. 00. At the 2. 01. 2 Central East Regional, he snatched 2. It’s a pretty good little team we have set up here.”For his part, Froning doesn’t fret over the fact that he single- handedly contradicts most of the strength- and- conditioning advice that is handed out all over the country by some of the greatest minds in the industry. He is able to put it in perspective by drawing on his faith. For as much volume as he has in the gym, he lacks volume on the plate. And protein shakes are my thing. At night, I eat whatever I want, but through the day, I don’t really eat that much. When I train guys, I tell them to eat clean meat and vegetables, and all that stuff. But when it comes to me, I don’t really listen to myself.”The Journey to Cookeville, Tenn. It’s not easy to get to Rich Froning. Thick in the middle of his training for the 2. Reebok Cross. Fit Games, he was hesitant to come to our studios in Los Angeles or New York to do this photo shoot. Figuring that meeting him on his home turf could only further illuminate his mystique, I accepted the challenge and pushed deadlines to schedule a breakneck visit. Peter (our photographer), Patrick (our production manager) and I flew to Atlanta and headed to Tennessee the following day. To meet the “Fittest Man on Earth,” we drove for three hours, at one point threading through huge rock cliffs and at another wending through a town called Sparta, both apt metaphors for the road Froning will have to take to defend his title. By the time we arrived at the Froning house, Rich was already in action in the box he recently built in his backyard. We chatted amiably about the shoot, Cross. Fit, the Regionals, life and other things you talk about while the photographer sets up. I shared with him my positive experience of the South and mentioned the beautiful old rustic barns we had driven by. I asked whether we could get some shots in front of them. He assured me that all Southern hospitality ends when you trespass on someone’s property — apparently, there would be more than just photos being shot. The shoot went very smoothly. We didn’t have to create any settings, and we focused on capturing Froning doing what he does best: hardcore workouts executed with perfect discipline, attitude and morals. Hearing him talk and watching him train, you could ask yourself what drives Rich Froning to this unparalleled energy? Is it his commitment to the sport? Or is it his passion to his faith? Or is it the charismatic personality that makes you feel you’ve known him for years after only a couple of hours? Perhaps it’s all of the above and some other unknowable element that makes Rich Froning the perfect athlete.—Alex Norouzi Creative Director. Best Workouts of All Time.
