2007 CrossFit Games: The CrossFit Total

In 2007, the inaugural CrossFit Games took place on a dusty ranch in Aromas, California. A small group of around 70 athletes gathered for a weekend of competition and camaraderie, and when it was over, the first-ever Fittest Man and Woman on Earth were crowned.

On Day 2 of the competition, athletes tackled the final event: the benchmark workout, the CrossFit Total. The workout challenged athletes to a 1-rep-max back squat, followed by a 1-rep-max strict press, and a 1-rep-max deadlift. Connor Banks lifted a total of 1,225 lb. to take the win on the men's side, while Nichole DeHart took the win for the women, lifting a total of 530 lb.

At the end of the weekend, Americans James Fitzgerald and Jolie Gentry were named Fittest Man and Woman on Earth. The crowd and the athletes BBQ'd and partied together, not having any idea the revolution of fitness and sport they had just started.
