The bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/] fame transgressed from the Mr. Olympia stage to the social media scene in the recent past. The only way to become a famous bodybuilder earlier was through competitions, but now bodybuilders are famous as fitness influencers online. The most viral of them all is Sam Sulek. The 21-year-old is known for his ripped physique and often gets criticized for a mammoth buildup due to alleged PED usage. But the 240-pound monster is unconcerned about trolls and hits the gym with unfaltering enthusiasm. In one of his gym videos, the young icon spilled beans on the squat routine. SAM SULEK REVEALED HIS CONNECTION TO SQUATS Bodybuilders focus on all muscles of the body to build a ripped physique. Each muscle group requires a specific workout routine to bulk up, and squats are amazing for quads. But Sulek can’t push beyond a limit during weighted squats. A YouTube channel, Sam Sulek Clips, shared a video of the 21-year-old bodybuilder pushing hard to finish the last weighted squat of a set at the gym. In the short video, Sulek exclaims, “Oh my God! I’m not doing another set of squats; that was really good.” Revealing how hard it is to ace that last squat, the icon confessed, “That had to be 99.9% effort on that last one; I didn’t think I was gonna make it.“ Sam Sulek was done for the day with squats and moved to leg extensions before adding, “My relationship with squats is passionate but toxic. You know, we kind of cross paths, and then I’m done.” The clip reflects Sulek’s understanding of his limits. Another instance when he revealed his bodybuilding tactics was while speaking about his joint health [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-im-more-prone-to-feeling-tender-sam-sulek-reasons-him-bulking-up-is-directly-proportional-to-his-joint-health/].

His popularity on the internet is rare for a 21-year-old. But he is often criticized for bulking up heavily. However, Sam Sulek has his reasons for building great mass. Sam Sulek [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/WhatsApp-Image-2023-09-20-at-3.48.27-PM.jpeg] “So when I’m fully bulked, my joints love it. It is almost impossible for me to get tender knees. Unless I squat upwards, of five plates, and that same thing for my elbows on pushdowns,” he once confessed. Despite constant criticism by bodybuilding fans and elite coaches like Greg Doucette, Sam Sulek is not taking his bodybuilding dream lightly. His YouTube videos are evidence of his fitness journey.

Top Natural Bodybuilders: The Best of the Best in the Fitness World

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger:?</strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business. He then transitioned himself to various acting roles, became an investor, and was elected as the Governor of California. Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Ronnie Coleman:</strong></li>
</ul>
Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport. He is an eight-time Mr. Olympia winner and became the most dominant bodybuilder in the business. Netflix released a documentary featuring his life in the bodybuilding industry. His size and conditioning stood apart from everyone else. A true champion who wore his heart on his sleeve.
