While Arnie remains his favorite, he is often fascinated by legends like Ronnie Coleman and Flex Wheeler who have inspired millions to take up the sport and transform their lives. When not editing or working out, he spends his time immersed in the world of books and movies.

Chris Bumstead’s love for Taylor Swift’s music is now well-established among his fans and followers. The bodybuilder who has now won 5 consecutive Classic Physique Mr. Olympia titles has once again showcased his affinity towards Swift’s music. Bumstead had previously revealed how his workout playlists hit a nostalgic tone as he plays Taylor Swift. While the bodybuilder mostly listens to the pop star’s old songs, he has now shown interest in playing her music while he records videos for his channels as well. However, for this Bumstead requires a little something that he explained in his latest video. CHRIS BUMSTEAD WANTS TO GET PAST COPYRIGHT ISSUES Although Bumstead does listen to Taylor Swift while working out and has done so for a while, he cannot possibly play her music out loud when he is filming content for his YouTube or any other social media owing to copyright issues. That being said, the bodybuilder wishes to do so because he does not want to miss out on blasting Swift even while he is recording. Thus to get away from such issues, CBum remarked playfully how eager he was to get a collaborative license with his favorite pop star. The Swiftie stated distinctly, “Need to get a collab license with Taylor Swift so I can play her music in the gym.” However, this is certainly not the first time the topic of a collaboration between CBum and Taylor Swift was brought up. Let us find out what happened when Bumstead fans started wishing for a collab between them. CHRIS BUMSTEAD’S ARTSY ALBUM COVER When Taylor Swift announced the first teaser of her upcoming album, [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-after-admitting-to-listen-taylor-swift-songs-in-gym-fans-expect-collab-between-chris-bumstead-and-1-billion-worth-pop-icon/] The Tortured Poets Department, on a live video from her Era’s Tour event, Chris Bumstead pulled a swiftie card and shared a photo of himself in a similar pose that of the album cover. Bumstead also added another photo that had some lyrics written on a piece of paper. Hinting at a Swift-styled- gym song, Bumstead wrote, “And so I enter into the gym/My arms of much skinny/My legs that weep of soreness/My gym bros who bailed before me/The icks, icks, icks of tipods in the gym/My veins fueled with thavage.” READ MORE: 5X Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead Continues Off-Season Fun While Vibing at Renowned Rapper 50 Cent’s Concert [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-five-x-mr-olympia-chris-bumstead-continues-off-season-fun-while-vibing-at-renowned-rapper-fifty-cents-concert/] With Chris Bumstead’s repeated wish for a collaboration with Taylor Swift, do you really see a possibility of that happening in real life?

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.
