Hi, I'm Donna, the editor for WWE at EssentiallySports. I help our writers dot their i's, cross their t's, and ensure they get all their facts straight. I am particularly invested in the world of wrestling since it's unlike any other sport currently televised. The thought put behind orchestrating wacky storylines and building hype for months on end is incredible and something that I enjoy keeping track of. Particularly, I like the shenanigans Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio get up to as part of The Judgment Day, as well as watching what up-and-coming talents have to offer over at NXT.

During my time at ES, I have been doing live coverage of WWE SmackDown which currently hosts our ?Head of the Table? Roman Reigns. Prior to this, I worked as a reporter for a national newspaper, covering investigative stories on education, space, science, and tech. While these might seem worlds apart, I still enjoy getting into the nitty gritty of stories here at ES, picking apart details and finding out facts about wrestlers that most would overlook. In my spare time, I enjoy delving into my hobbies: writing, drawing, or just goofing off with my cat.

The deadlift is one such exercise that is universally regarded as the epitome of strength in the bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/] world. Well, it has done wonders for 21-year-old powerlifter Nathaniel Massiah too, and is one of the primary reasons that helped him win multiple titles.

Seeing this, his audience stops to stare and according to him, no other exercise can ever make that happen.

Massiah believes that the most important thing to build up your power is to have a strong foundation.

Beating your PRs becomes easier when you have more muscle mass in the body. The primary areas of focus must be your back, glutes, and hamstrings and that’s where you need to build the muscles first.

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.
