STATURESTATURE Mechanics
Every inch of height and pound of bodyweight changes the physics of a workout. Calculate the true mechanical work output of any CrossFit WOD, scaled perfectly to your body proportions.
Launch the WOD AnalyzerStop guessing your output. We calculate the exact kilojoules (kJ) of mechanical work required by calculating the force multiplied by the precise distance your anatomy demands.
Why do short athletes dominate thrusters and burpees, while tall athletes win on the rower and wall balls? We objectively quantify the "tall tax" for any given movement.
Input your time, and we'll calculate your average wattage. Compare your engine's true horsepower against friends, regardless of body weight or gender.
In functional fitness and CrossFit, volume is everything. When doing standard benchmarks like "Fran" or CrossFit Open WODs, a 6-foot-tall athlete and a 5-foot-5 athlete are performing vastly different amounts of total work.
Our WOD Analyzer uses Newtonian physics to compute the vertical displacement of the barbell and the athlete's System Center of Mass (COM). If you are taller, your range of motion on a wall ball or pull-up increases. Over the course of 100 reps, those inches add up to hundreds of extra kilojoules of work. This is the "tall tax."
The analyzer goes beyond barbell math. We incorporate cubic drag fluid dynamics to model Concept2 ergometers (rowing, skiing, biking) and assess exactly how bodyweight impacts gymnastics movements. You can now see definitively if an athlete won because of superior fitness, or superior anthropometry.
