Episode 6 is the start of Brian's "Top Athletes of CrossFit" series. He breaks down these athletes based on three eras of competition. The "Ranch" era from 2007-2009, the "Carson" era (2010-2016) and the "Madison" era (2017-current).

We start with the top-10 men from the "Ranch" era and his pick for the top athlete during that time could raise some eyebrows. The top-3 includes some of the legendary names of the sport. Where do greats like Tommy Hackenbruck and Chris Spealler rank? What exactly was Spealler listening to on his iPod shuffle? Who had the best tattoo of the era?
