Mat Fraser once thought he was destined to become an Olympian lifter, and grade-level accolades suggested that just might happen. However, a streak of injuries and a bit of bad luck at the Olympic Training Center cut his career short. It wasn't until stumbling into a local box at his University that he started to tap into his true potential as an Elite Fitness competitor and all-around athlete. From local competition, to national competition, to eventually the world stage, Fraser found himself on the podium. In 2014 and 2015, he cemented himself as the second fittest man in the world, and in 2016 he became THE fittest man in the world.

Join Armen as he takes on everything Iceland can throw at him: the weather, the darkness, the fitness, the food, and the people.

They had one last opportunity at Senior Pan Ams to earn one spot, and it would take every team member (and every kilo) they had. They first needed to fight for their team, and then for themselves, and one male would earn a spot in Rio. After some unexpected performances and injuries it became Do Or Die.
