Rich Froning Career
Froning played in the 2010 CrossFit Games. Froning won the 2011 CrossFit Games and went on to win every stage of the 2012-2014 Games season including the Open, Regionals, and Games worldwide. The winning streak ended after he retired from the 2015 Individual Competition, and in the 2015 Open, behind Mathew Fraser, he took second place in the world afterward.
However, he started a new winning streak as part of his new squad, CrossFit Mayhem Independence, taking first place both at the 2015 Central East Regional and at the Games.
Froning said, “I don’t really like winning but I dislike losing more”. Froning qualified in 2010, via the Sectional Qualifiers, a precursor to the online-based Open, for the 2010 Southeast Regional competition. Froning won the Regional and thus qualified for the fourth CrossFit Games at the Carson, California Home Depot Center.
Froning won five top 5 finishes at the 2010 Games, including two event wins, and never fell below 13th. He led the way into the final event, but in terms of technique the rope climb section of the final event showed “a chink in his armor.” Froning didn’t know how to wrap his legs and feet around the rope, so he was forced to use his arms just to attempt the rope climbs. Fatigued, Froning fell several times from the rope. His 12th-place finish on the final event opened up the space Graham Holmberg needed to step up to the top.
Holmberg had the podium of the 2010 Games in fourth, Froning in second, and Chris Spealler in sixth. Froning and Annie Thorisdottir were the first athletes to compete twice in the CrossFit Games in 2012. With four straight CrossFit Games wins in the years that followed, Froning set the mark for the “Fittest Man on Earth.” “Froning,” documentary filmmakers from CrossFit, Inc., claimed in a documentary released in summer 2015, that Froning is the Fittest Man in History.
Froning has qualified as an athlete for Regionals in each of the years since; however, he chose to take part in the team competition instead of as part of the “Mayhem Independence” team, which placed first in the Games in both 2015 and 2016, and second in 2017.
Rich Froning Jr. Training
He mentions working out many times a day and tends not to take days off from training, unlike other athletes. Froning has neither coach nor programmer writing his workouts. Instead, he also considers his training partner to be an excellent competitor, such as Games competitors Dan Bailey and James Hobart. Some of the approaches employed by Froning are explored in his 2013 autobiography, First: What it takes to win.
