ICYMI: Mat Fraser & Rich Froning Aren't Messing Around
There's just too much happening on social media these days. Luckily for you, we don't have anything else to do all day. Here are the biggest lifts (and other stuff too!) you missed from 7/1/15.



Apparently Mat Fraser takes this whole "heir apparent to the throne" thing seriously. He's currently at Froningland getting in some final prep in for the Games in the form of soul crushing hyper workouts. Seriously, I'm tired just reading that many lines of writing. It took Mat and Rich less than 35 minutes to do that workout. To put that in perspective, I'm pretty sure if I did that workout I'd spend about 35 minutes walking around between sets silently cussing myself out for making terrible life choices.



Ilya Ilyin lifts weights occasionally and, recently, with greater frequency. Apparently there's some small competition in mid 2016 he's prepping for, I dunno. Either way, the guy makes some great faces while easily coming out of the hole of a 396lb clean:



He looks like a Kazakh William Wallace. "They may take our lives, but they'll never take our TOTALLLLSS!"



Speaking of weightlifting, Travis Cooper weighs under 170lbs and just jerked about 425lbs. I mean, that's pretty good right? I usually prefer to deadlift that type of weight, but if you really wanna show off that's cool I guess.

There you have it, the biggest lifts and other awesome stuff you missed from 7/1/15. If you're falling behind, check out the previous installments:
