Bryan O’Keeffe tried every fat loss fad but to no avail. He would gain all the lost pounds, eventually making him look even fatter. But the man of determination didn’t accept the defeat. He took charge of his life and ventured on a new fitness journey. The 34-year-old took a unique step to achieve his weight loss goals. He succeeded in his quest to shed the extra pounds after 7 months of a disciplined life. His family and friends are shocked to see him as a 138lbs young man. He shared his inspiring journey on his Instagram profile with 74.1K followers. BRYAN O’KEEFFE SHIFTED TO A SMALL VILLAGE TO FOCUS ON WEIGHT LOSS GOALS November 2021 was about to change O’Keeffe’s life as he thought of listening to the book ‘Can’t Hurt Me’ by David Goggins. Inputs from the book encouraged him to deal with the most persistent problem of his life, obesity, in a new way. In the Instagram video from September 2022, he revealed, “At the end of last year, I decided I need to change my life. So, I packed my bags and moved out to the Mallorcan wilderness.” He informed his followers that he was trying every diet and exercise for 15 years, but nothing worked out for him. “I even had an inflatable balloon inserted into my stomach and every time I failed,” he confessed. But he tried something different this time, “Instead of focusing on the scales, I focused on being mentally resilient, Building discipline!” And for 7 months he secluded himself from his family and friends and trained 5 hours a day and lost 137 lbs. He learned to analyze his failures from the book, which made him leave his dear ones for goals. THE 34-YEAR-OLD REALIZED HIS WEAKNESS He captioned the Instagram post, “The one question I keep getting asked is – ‘How did I do it?'” The fitness coach opened up that he figured that he had a weakness for his friends and family that resulted in an unhealthy lifestyle. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Bryan-OKeeffe.jpg] “When my friends go out for drinks or my family go out for dinner, I want to be there,” he wrote. This made him shift away from family and cut all communications and he trained hard to succeed in his weight loss journey! And the result is evident!

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.
