I am Sarthak Khanna. I first got involved in bodybuilding after watching the
legendary documentary Pumping Iron. Having been a soccer enthusiast for years, I
got my first gym membership as part of a rehabilitation routine after injuring
my leg while playing soccer. However, my love of lifting gradually grew and I
became more interested in bodybuilding. This is when I developed an admiration
for legends such as Tom Platz and Dorian Yates, who inspire me to write about
them and at the same time live up to their values in real life. I try to offer a
new angle on the bodybuilding world through my writings, by combining my
academic skills with my real passion for fitness, bodybuilding, and the athletes
involved. I am committed to providing updated information on the latest trends
in the health and fitness industry. I also try to pay homage to the legends of
bodybuilding in a way that motivates readers while at the same time keeping them
entertained. Come talk to me at:

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.
