CrossFit career

Adler began to train at CrossFit in 2015, and had no previous training in competitive sports.[3] His first world championship bid came at the 2019 CrossFit Games.[4] He was a finalist at the 2020 CrossFit Games,[5] where he placed fifth.[6] He was placed third at the Rogue Invitational in 2021, and again in 2022.[7][8] At the 2022 CrossFit Games, he was placed fifth.[9]

In 2023 he was the grand champion of the competition, being named the "Fittest Man on Earth", becoming the first non-American male to win the competition since 2009.[10] That year he also placed first at the CrossFit Open.[11]

In 2024, Adler withdrew from the 2024 CrossFit Games following Lazar Dukic's death during Event 1.[12] In the same year, Adler won the 2024 Rogue Invitational for the first time.[13]
