The sheer intensity of stock car racing drew me in like a honeybee. While my first introduction to NASCAR came after I stepped into the world of sports journalism, I quickly found myself fascinated by the sport. As an athlete during high school and through the course of my undergrad, I had always had a competitive spirit, just like the daredevils of NASCAR, and this only helped me resonate more with the fierce beings. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Kyle Larson. However, I don't mind seeing underdogs come in and clinch it all either! 
After I completed my undergrad in Journalism, I worked for three years in media, an experience which now helps me weave interesting stories and anecdotes about the most loved NASCAR stars!
A few years down the line, I see myself attending a Cup Series final at Phoenix Raceway and interviewing the drivers as a pit reporter! When I'm not binging races, you can find me cooking or even watching an anime or two.

Iain Valliere might have retired from bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/https:/www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/https:/www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/] but he doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. He recently challenged 48-year-old arm wrestling legend Devon Larratt to an arm wrestling challenge and uploaded a picture on Instagram. Both the legends who are from different genres of sport looked pretty intense in the picture. Valliere had almost defeated him, but ultimately Larratt is a champion who cannot be defeated that easily. IAIN VALLIERE AND DEVON LARRATT FIGHT IT OUT The Instagram post featured two pictures where the athletes could be seen trying their best to win the arm-wrestling competition. It even seemed like The Canadian Nationals Winner was giving Valliere some tips on how to arm wrestle properly. The post was by Valliere and it was captioned, “I almost had him I swear…. 😏@devlarratt. New post bodybuilding goal maybe 😅?” Devon Larratt and Valliere have amazing physiques and bodybuilding fans are always astonished to see their shredded and chiselled body.

DEVON LARRATT HAS AN ENVIABLE PHYSIQUE Since arm wrestling [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-real-life-superman-devon-larrott-ridiculously-ripped-abs-take-bodybuilding-worlds-breath-away/] is Devon Larratt’s forte, his main concentration goes on making his arms as strong as possible. He concentrates on strength training and his aesthetic physique is surely revved by many in the fitness community. Previously, the athlete shared an update on his score on Instagram. The legend has extremely ripped abs which fans found astonishing. He shared a picture of himself flexing his shredded arms and captioned the post saying, “255-morning weight. 5.5 weeks out 💪”.

I am Tanushree Bhowmick. I have always loved running and sprinting since I was a
child and I often took pride in being unbeaten at sporting events in school. The
love I had for sport continued to follow me into adulthood. I still nurture a
love for fitness and anything related to Gymnastics, because these sports have
always intrigued me and inspired me in my professional writing career and
lifestyle. I am a Bodybuilding writer at EssentiallySports and hold a Master?s
Degree in English Literature. Some of my favorite athletes are Simone Biles and
Arnold Schwarzenegger. Many of my 700-plus articles for the bodybuilding
division are about the 7x Mr. Olympia winner. For my writing, I often track the
Terminator icon?s fitness newsletter and delve into the advice that Arnie
provides for his ?village? Given my passion for fitness and bodybuilding, I
aspire to write about and interview icons from the field.

“I Almost Had Him I Swear”: 48-YO Arm Wrestling Monster Playfully Destroys Chris
Bumstead’s Brother-in-Law

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.
