A Montreal man has earned the title of "Fittest Man on Earth" after earning the top spot at the CrossFit Games earlier this month.
"To be called the 'Fittest Man on Earth' is like, there is no one else that beat you this year," Jeffrey Adler told CTV National News.
"In that moment, this is your first, there is nobody better. It's a huge honour honestly."
Adler scored the most points at the international CrossFit Games held in Madison, Wis., at one point lifting as much as 360 pounds.
Encouraged by a paramedic friend to try CrossFit in 2015, Adler says he used a Groupon at the time for his first set of classes.
Then after volunteering at the competition seven years ago, Adler decided he wanted to go for the top. Now, he is a part of games history.
"There is something at being the best at something," he said.
