Injury is the saddest part of Bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=internal_links&utm_campaign=category_bar] and sooner or later, a muscular man is bound to go through this due to various reasons. For some, it is a setback that prevents them from progressing, and for some, it’s an opportunity that allows them to do something beyond one’s imagination. Dorian Yates [about:blank], the mass monster, took his Bicep injury as an opportunity though his style of doing barbell row is changed. Talking about past accomplishments of Dorian, he won Mr. Olympia 6 times and at that time he was at the peak of his Bodybuilding career. He made a huge fan following and won various competitions. However, he went through ups and downs in his career. DORIAN’S BICEP INJURY BRINGS MODIFICATION IN HIS STYLE OF BARBELL ROW In a recent Instagram post, Dorian shared a video of a seminar he did in Canada, back in 2016. In the video, he is demonstrating how to do the barbell row. This 6-time Mr. Olympia gave priority to Barbell row during his bodybuilding career. Dorian posted a video with the caption “For most of my training years, I did perform them with an underhand grip but due to my bicep injury, I switched to an overhand grip which was just as good.” Explaining how to do proper Barbell row, he said, “Traditional barbell rows were done with the body parallel to the floor and pulling the bar to your chest, my style, which became known as the ‘Yates Row’, is performed with a body more upright which puts the lower back in a safer position and the lats in a mechanically stronger position”. Bodybuilding Career 26 Years After Retirement [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-i-sacrificed-a-lot-six-x-mr-olympia-dorian-yates-recalls-bodybuilding-career-twenty-six-years-after-retirement/] “Think of your hands as hooks and you should be rowing with your elbows and driving through to your lats. Also, in order to get a full contraction of the lats, the spine needs to be slightly arched”, He further added. Dorian Yates opened up about a devastating moment in his career. DEVASTATING MOMENT IN DORIAN’S LIFE Dorian Yates won the Mr. Olympia title from 1992 to 1997 and in between these years, he suffered from one of the biggest challenges of his life “injury”. And around six weeks before the 1994 Mr. Olympia [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-complete-robbery-at-its-best-enraged-bodybuilding-world-raise-questions-after-mr-olympia-footage-resurfaces-dorain-yates-kevin-levrone-shawn-ray/] championship, a tragedy occurred in the form of a bicep tear. The reason behind this was not clear and Dorian admitted and went through the injury. Even though Dorian’s workout style has changed due to bicep injury, what has not changed yet is his passion and devotion to Bodybuilding. He continues to inspire and train people about health and fitness. What do you think of it? let’s us know below.

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>

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.
