One of the biggest bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/] shows in all of Asia and the continent’s first contest to earn the IFBB Mr. Olympia qualifier moniker, Sheru Classic, is underway. Four IFBB Pro bodybuilders will earn their ticket to the 2024 Mr. Olympia. Meanwhile, six competitive bodybuilders will earn their IFBB Pro card at the contest. However, the competitors aren’t the only attraction. The 2024 Sheru Classic is part of the International Health, Sports and Fitness Festival (IHFF). The IHFF is an expo like the Arnold Sports Festival and Olympia Weekend. The expo will feature a plethora of brands and famous bodybuilders. This year, multiple Men’s Physique icons will host meet and greets at Pragati Maidan in Delhi, India, during the expo. The official Sheru Classic Instagram handle announced that reigning Men’s Physique Olympia champion Ryan Terry will be present at the IHFF expo hall from 7th to 9th June. Ryan Terry rose to prominence, winning the Men’s Physique Olympia title last year after several failed attempts [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-this-was-going-to-be-my-last-olympia-mens-physique-champion-discloses-his-bodybuilding-journey-before-becoming-mr-olympia-champion/] where he struggled to crack the top five in his division. Besides the defending champion, Men’s Physique icons Andrei Deiu and Bhuwan Chauhan will host meet and greets with the Indian fans. “I’m super excited to see all of you,” said Deiu in his Instagram video from 5th June. Similarly, Men’s Physique Olympian Bhuwan Chauhan also expressed his excitement for the event. “See you guys in Delhi 🇮🇳 at @ihff_expo at the @vivafitnessgo pavilion on 7th, 8th, and 9th June. Make sure to come by the booth and train with us,” wrote Chauhan. The Men’s Physique Olympia competitor is especially popular in the country because he was born in New Delhi, India. Besides these three icons, other famous bodybuilding and fitness personalities will also attend the Sheru Classic. WHAT MAKES THE SHERU CLASSIC SPECIAL? Started by retired professional bodybuilder Sheru Aangrish, the Sheru Classic is arguably the most prestigious contest in India. Its prestige began attracting international bodybuilding talent after it became a Mr. Olympia qualifier. The show also allowed India’s best bodybuilders to compete against an international roster to earn their IFBB Pro cards. Several bodybuilding legends such as Kai Greene, Phil Heath, Kevin Levrone, Jeremy Buednia, and others have attended the Sheru Classic. Last year, the contest made waves across the bodybuilding world when 2x Arnold Classic Physique champion and Classic Physique Olympia, Terrance Ruffin, competed and won in his division. A reining Olympia champion and other bodybuilding competitors holding meet and greet sessions at Sheru Classic 2024 will continue to add to his prestige as a premier IFBB Pro show in Asia.

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>

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.
