Now that the results are in, check out the highs and lows from this workout.

MAT FRASER DESTROYS A 174.5 kg (385lb) CLEAN WITH 1:40 TO SPARE ON THE CLOCK

Mat Fraser was a junior national weightlifting champion, and has some of the tightest technical skills in CrossFit when it comes to lifting. This lift is even more impressive when you consider that he also just completed 18.2 first before completing this clean at the 18.2a portion of the second CrossFit Open Workout.
