Gyms have sprawled across the world as people are becoming more inclined to work out. Despite being the temples of fitness, gymnasiums have also witnessed a toxic culture of body shaming, disrespect, and rude behavior among gym-goers. Countering this, 40-year-old fitness enthusiast Joey Swoll, often strives to spread gym positivity with his viral videos. In one such video, he supported IFBB Pro bodybuilder Mark Hunter Jr. aka Markus after the latter was thrown out of a gym by a rude staff member. The episode has long been closed but now Markus talks about being respectful in the gym. MARK HUNTER JR VIDEO ON BEING RESPECTFUL AT THE GYM In his recent Instagram video, the IFBB pro bodybuilder speaks about being respectful while filming in the gym, emphasizing the positive gym culture. “Filming in the gym is like you gotta be super respectful”, says the fitness enthusiast. “It’s a public gym, because they allow filming doesn’t give you right to take up space and be a d***,” he adds. In the clip, Markus could be seen at the gym where a kind person asked him whether he was in Markus’ way. Citing this the IFBB legend says, “He’s like I’m not in the way, am I? Didn’t have to say that Or make sure he wasn’t in the way! Because he doesn’t own this gym but he did because he was respectful.” Former D1 Runner Behaving Rudely in the Gym [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-only-disrespectful-person-is-you-fitness-icon-joey-swoll-slams-former-d1-runner-behaving-rudely-in-the-gym/] Being kind and respectful will help to go a long way, Markus feels. He captioned the video, “This is my swamp.” The video was acclaimed by his followers who could relate to it. FANS REACT TO THE FITNESS LEGEND’S GYM POSITIVITY VIDEO “Joey Swole would be so proud!” says a fan drawing a comparison between Markus and the 40-year-old legend. Another follower speculated about an association with Swoll and wrote, “Collab with Joey Swole soon? But I wish more people would have this mindset in the gym.” [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Markus-in-draft-1.jpg] “I wish everyone understood this simple concept,” writes another commenter agreeing with Markus’s thoughts. “Lil respect goes a long way,” reads another comment appreciating the fact quoted by Markus.

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.
