Lifting weights is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is normal for fitness influencers and bodybuilding champions to deadlift or bench press enormous weights, but the fitness challenges often expose regular people to unimaginable tasks. While some succeed in them like a pro, others fail miserably. A resurfaced Instagram video drew fans’ reactions as the person undertaking a fitness challenge is none other than a high school principal. Not just his students who witnessed his strength live, but the netizens who watched his clip online also were stunned by his feat. They reacted to the video in the comments section. FANS REACT TO PRINCIPAL’S STRENGTH Alexander Mercieca is a Freshman Academy Principal at Grissom High School. Mercieca’s old video, a teacher back then, while deadlifting a massive 585 lbs, was recently shared by an Instagram page, ‘Gym Humor’. The post was captioned, “Teaching the students a thing about lifting.” However, Mercieca isn’t just any regular man, as he is a Certified CrossFit Trainer. Fans reacted to the video and commented their thoughts on it. “If you can pick this up, you get an ‘A,” commented a fan. “The dad strength displayed is unreal,” wrote another stunned follower. “He can absolutely do more,” a hopeful user mentioned. “Impressive, but can he teach,” commented a fan in doubt. “Maybe he could teach them to set the bar back down instead of dropping it,” wrote another user who found the principal’s behavior of dropping the weights rude. Fitness challenges are a common trend on social media. Earlier, YouTuber Brandon Williams shared a video of a man acing some heavy-lifting stunts. JOHN LIFTS WEIGHTS TO WIN 100$ In a video shared by Brandon William on his YouTube channel [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-i-dont-need-to-get-angry-100-prize-gets-fitness-enthusiast-to-perform-heavy-duty-stunts/], John was seen taking up a boulder-lifting challenge to win $100. Though he lifted weights 40 years ago, the elderly man didn’t lose his strength with time. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/John-fi-e1687322139926.jpg] He lifted and dumped three huge boulders of 115 lbs, 145 lbs, and 250 lbs over the bar. He lifted the first two weights without much difficulty but struggled with 250 lbs. However, he managed to win the task with his calm and composed attitude. Internet With Heavy Lifting [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-damn-girl-you-are-pregnant-weightlifter-to-be-mom-shocks-internet-with-heavy-lifting/] Fitness challenges often help people realize their strengths and shortcomings so that they can improve them with some more training. Alexander Mercieca and John are examples of people going beyond their limits and inspiring others to do so.

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.
