When it comes to Crossfit, one of the nerdy topics that always seems to come up is height.
Who has the advantage, short guys or tall guys?
Or do you want to be right in the middle?
While we can nerd out about lever lengths and who has the advantage (or disadvantage), I wanted to compile a list of the tallest Crossfit athletes.
As a 6’3” fitness fanatic, I’m all for #TeamTallBoy (got Brent!).
Below are the tallest Crossfitters to make it to the games (learn more about the 2018 Crossfit Games Rookies).
As a note, I’ll list anybody that is 6′ and on up for the men and women 5’7″ or taller. Sorted by weight, from lightest to heaviest.

As far as I know, the biggest Crossfit competitor (on the mens side) of all time was Aja Barto. He clocked in at 6’5″ #225. He competed at the Crossfit Games back in 2013. Think of how well he could pull on a rower!
