Mat Fraser and Josh Bridges took first and second in CrossFit Games Open 18.5 with 198 and 191 reps, respectively, and now you can watch these two masters do what they do best. Check them out here at CrossFit Mayhem in Cookeville, Tennessee.


Watching these two athletes can teach us a lot about pacing and grit, especially when it comes to the last minute of a workout like this. The main thing to notice is how Fraser is able to break up the sets in the round of 18 and 21 in order to catch Bridges, who's slightly ahead of him in the middle of the round of 18s.

Also, check out the final minute in which Fraser is able to turn on the boosters and go for broke with a huge set of thrusters followed by a short break, followed by another big set of thrusters immediately into his final pull-ups.
