A 5'4" athlete and a 6'2" athlete do the same Open workout. Same loads, same reps, same time domain. But the physics are completely different. STATURE calculates the actual mechanical work each body performs — bar travel, power output, pull distance — so you can stop comparing scores and start understanding performance.

CrossFit workouts are standardized by load and rep count — but bodies aren't standard. Taller athletes move the bar farther on every thruster. Athletes with longer arms have shorter pulls on deadlifts and muscle-ups. These differences compound across hundreds of reps in competition. STATURE uses calibrated CrossFit athlete data to show you exactly how your proportions compare to the field — and what that means for your Open score.
Enter any Open workout and see total mechanical work, power output, and bar travel for your body versus the field average. Understand whether a workout favors your proportions or fights them.
Compare your body to the CrossFit Games athlete population. STATURE uses research data calibrated specifically to CrossFit competitors — not generic population averages.
Map your body across thrusters, deadlifts, squats, and pull-ups. See which movements your proportions naturally excel at and where you're working harder than average.
Your stance width, grip position, and setup all interact with your proportions. STATURE ranks variants for your specific build so every movement decision has a biomechanical basis.
STATURE uses your height and sex to derive segment lengths, then runs kinematic chain calculations for each movement in the workout. For a thruster, it calculates bar travel from squat depth through full extension — multiplied by load and rep count to produce total mechanical work in kilojoules. Power output is work divided by time.
Substantially. A 6'2" athlete moving a 95 lb barbell from front rack to overhead covers roughly 40–50cm more vertical distance per rep than a 5'4" athlete. Over 21 reps of thrusters that's nearly 10 meters of additional bar travel. At the same score, taller athletes are doing measurably more mechanical work.
STATURE's CrossFit reference data is derived from published research on competitive CrossFit athletes (Misfit Athletics n=133, Games-level study n=80). Femur proportions are calibrated to reflect the CrossFit population rather than general population norms, which show a meaningful difference in torso-to-leg ratios.
Yes. The compare tool lets you enter two athletes' height and weight and see side-by-side breakdowns for any lift or WOD. You can also use the 'vs CF Average' mode to benchmark against the competitive population.
Currently STATURE covers barbell movements (squat, deadlift, bench, OHP, thruster) and bodyweight pressing and pulling (push-up, pull-up). Gymnastics skills like handstand walks and ring muscle-ups are not yet modeled.
