This workout hits all major movement patterns — squat-pattern, pull-pattern, press-pattern, bodyweight. That means EVERY proportion matters. No single body type dominates; the advantage shifts between movements. The winner is whoever loses the least on their worst movement, not whoever gains the most on their best.
reduce pull distance per clean/deadlift rep — less work per cycle
increase pull distance — more mechanical work per hip-hinge movement
increase squat/thruster demand — more forward lean, higher hip moment arm
reduce squat depth demands — more upright torso, less hip torque
reduce pressing distance — less work per overhead rep
Personalized analysis
Enter your height, weight, and body proportions. STATURE computes mechanical work in joules, power output in watts, and shows which movements cost you the most energy — ranked for your body.
Analyze CrossFit Open 26.3 for YOUR buildYour body proportions change the mechanical work of every rep. For example, athletes with long arms reduce pull distance per clean/deadlift rep — less work per cycle. Over a full workout, these differences compound into significant performance gaps between athletes of different builds.
There's no single "best" body type for CrossFit Open 26.3 because it involves 3 different movements that favor different proportions. The advantage shifts between movements — the best body type is the one with the smallest total disadvantage across ALL movements.
Yes. Height affects bar travel distance, which directly determines mechanical work per rep. Over 66+ total reps, even small height differences create measurable work differences. But height is just one factor — limb proportions matter more for specific movements.
Yes. STATURE's analyzer lets you enter your exact measurements and see how YOUR proportions affect each movement in CrossFit Open 26.3. It calculates mechanical work in joules, power output in watts, and shows which movements cost you the most energy.
STATURE uses peer-reviewed anthropometric ratios and validated kinematic models to calculate mechanical demands. Some CrossFit movements are approximated — for example, clean & jerks are modeled as a deadlift pull phase plus an overhead press phase. The coverage fraction shows what percentage of the workout's total work is captured.
