However, this year, the bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/] icon looked forward to challenging reigning champion Ryan Terry and possibly reclaiming his crown.

The former champion tore his Achilles tendon while filming for a sponsor commercial seconds into a sprint. “Felt like my leg was going to explode,“ said the bodybuilder while describing the pain. However, disaster struck once again, a month later, just as he had returned to the gym. “Unfortunately, last Sunday I re-ruptured my Achilles,“ Buendia said in his latest YouTube video. Jeremy Buendia explained that he injured his tendon again after falling from his knee scooter on a day out with his wife and daughter. The former champion said he fell while trying to stop his daughter from running onto the street. He then went to the doctor, who discovered that the second injury was worse than the first. Although the 33-year-old said [https://youtu.be/SEXYwxmUaDI?si=GSlwaXbdOdgSt_uX&t=28] the surgeon “fixed it once again,” Buendia’s Olympia dream came to a screeching halt.

However, a single accident had simultaneously worsened his injury and ended all hopes of recovering in time for the Olympia. WHAT’S NEXT FOR JEREMY BUENDIA?

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.
