Dorian Yates, the six-time Mr. Olympia champion, is a name that is unmatchable in the realm of bodybuilding. He has put in years of experimentation and finally found the training method that matched him perfectly the High Intensity Training, which was first popularised by a legendary bodybuilder, in the 70s. It is even said that Dorian Yates was completely hooked on HIT after he was shown the style of training after one workout. Well, there is no doubt that Mike Menzter’s High-Intensity Training style of working out has indeed revolutionized the fitness community. Athletes from the golden era of bodybuilding to the modern era like to inculcate it in their regimes, and the recent desire of the TikTok star is evidence of it. MAX TAYLOR WISHES TO BECOME LIKE MIKE MENTZER Max Taylor, the TikTok star, who is famous, not only for sharing his knowledge of staying fit but is also widely acclaimed for his amazingly sculpted physique, recently took to his official Instagram account @maxtaylorlifts and shared a throwback picture of Mike Mentzer on his story. [https://www.drworkout.fitness/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Max-Taylors-Fitness.jpg] In the picture, the legendary Bodybuilder was seen flexing his super jacked physique from top to toe and the picture even hinted at the absolute golden days of bodybuilding due to its black and white edit. In the picture, Max Taylor wrote, “GOALS” and the one word was enough to convey his message. Shoutout by Classic Legend Chris Bumstead [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-bodybuilder-max-taylor-teasing-fans-with-his-anime-like-pose-gets-a-rightful-shoutout-by-classic-legend-chris-bumstead/] This implied how he has been inspired by Mike Mentzer and desired to walk in his footsteps, becoming like him. But well, what truly inspired the source of the High-Intensity Training that has changed the game of bodybuilding? WHAT INSPIRED MIKE MENTZER TO COME UP WITH HIT? When Mike Mentzer embarked on his fitness journey, he had just one goal – to become a lookalike of the 5X Mr. Universe Bill Pearl. In order to achieve his goal, he turned to fitness magazines in order to gain insights into how to have such a massive transformation. Now, the problem was that all the magazines he turned to had mostly high-volume and high-frequency training programs. According to Mentzer, those training programs completely ignored the factors of genetic and chemical advantages that some elite bodybuilders have. It was then that he discovered High-Intensity Training and started preaching it religiously and well. The rest, as you know it, is history.

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.

<ul>
 	<li><strong>Lee Haney:</strong></li>
</ul>
Like Coleman, Lee Haney became an eight-time Mr. Olympia champion. He dedicated his body to the sport and was one of the most exciting bodybuilders on stage. Haney had a humongous waist size of 32.5 inches. Therefore, Haney deserves a special mention for his performances.
