Welcome to THE BARBELL STRIKES BACK!
On this episode James welcomes Frank Ford (@frank_ford_) back to the show! James and Frank discuss Mat Fraser's recent retirement from CrossFit and whether or not he should be in the same conversation as athletes who are almost universally considered the greatest of all time such as Jordan, Gretzky, Pelé, Ali, and Brady. Throughout the discussion many questions were brought up such as: is the term G.O.A.T brought up too often?, is CrossFit too young of a sport to be in the conversation?, how do you decide what sports have their greats put on the level of a Jordan or Ali?, is there a G.O.A.T. of G.O.A.Ts?, and many more. Frank and James also list off their personal Mount Rushmore of G.O.A.Ts from different sports they have followed throughout their lives.
Thank you for listening.
Enjoy!
