NATIONAL BESTSELLER • 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.
作品考察・見どころ
本作は単なるフィットネス本を超え、人間の意志が到達し得る極致を記した「意志の文学」です。五連覇という金字塔を打ち立てたマット・フレーザーが、自らの肉体を機械のように最適化していく過程は、求道的な美学に満ちています。「それは勝利に繋がるか」という峻烈な問いを全行動の基準に据える彼の哲学は、効率化が叫ばれる現代において、圧倒的な生の熱量として読者の魂を揺さぶります。 自身の弱点を冷徹に分析し、執念深く克服していくその軌跡は、もはや狂気的なまでの純粋さを放っています。引退を経て初めて解禁された王者の思考回路は、限界に挑む全ての者の指針となるでしょう。肉体の変革を通じて人生の勝負哲学を説く、重厚な人間ドキュメントとしての魅力に溢れた一冊です。
