In the world of powerlifting [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/], the primary aim of most athletes is to go as heavy as possible, without getting injured.

She dismisses the traditional method of doing squats because they only cover a partial range and highlights why it is extremely important to do a** to grass squats. Here’s what her knowledge tells us. STEFI COHEN FOCUSES ON COMPLETING AN ENTIRE RANGE OF MOTION Stefi Cohen recently took to her official Instagram account and stated that to truly strengthen your knee joint and all the surrounding tissues, it is important to train the entire range of motions. She says, “If you want to lift an insane amount, you need to have insanely strong joints.” Cohen further added that while you might make your muscles stronger by pulling out traditional squats, the tendons and ligaments around the knee joint will not be getting the best stimulus during the exercise. Covering full reps will help in building tissue strength and reduce the risks of injury. So, if you’re somebody who wants to get stronger while also having an injury-preventive approach, this is the best technique to follow.

I am Aheli Chakraborty, someone who has spent her life in awe of the art and
science of bodybuilding. My bodybuilding journey has been a fusion of
dedication, sweat, and a relentless pursuit of strength. I've always strived to
not only sculpt my body but also test its limits, chasing those elusive PRs.
Throughout the constant evolution in the realm of the sport, I have only wanted
to unravel its mysteries, which spurred me to research and write about it. Apart
from my affinity for bodybuilding, I also nurture a love for journalism and the
urge to ensure that the public is updated with what they need to know.
EssentiallySports gave me the opportunity to convert both my passions into my
profession and now I live my dream, every day.

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>

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.

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.
