In the sport of bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/], having a magnificent physique is like a trophy. While maintaining the stature becomes quite strenuous to some, champions like Dorian Yates made a streak of six consecutive triumphs for the title of Mr. Olympia [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/mr-olympia-2022/]. Even though the English bodybuilder retired in 1997, he continues to be a role model for millions. In his latest Instagram post, Yates shares a memory from his glorious days. He also draws attention to his inspirations that had made him embark on such a prestigious road of fame. DORIAN YATES’ BEST PHYSIQUE PRESENTATION Reminiscing on a studio shot taken right before his 1995 Mr. Olympia Contest, Yates published the mesmerizing photo that captured one of his best forms. He considers it equally well built, like his 1993 form.“Throwback to 1995, arguably my best physique ever presented along with 93 in my opinion.” Remembering his Heydays in the bodybuilding world, Yates is reportedly proud of his career. No one can ever question his capabilities after attesting to his 15 major contest wins in the last 5 years of his career. In the post, he also casts light upon Joe Weider, who had a great presence throughout his career. YATES ON JOE WEIDER BEING A BODYBUILDING PROMOTER Joe Weider, the co-founder of the International Federation of BodyBuilders (IFBB), didn’t fit Yates’ description of a trainer. Albeit Weider had claimed to be one, Yates dismisses his assertions by saying, “Joe claimed to be a trainer of champions but really, he was a magazine publisher who did a phenomenal job of promoting bodybuilding to the world and making it popular, but a trainer he wasn’t. In fact, Joe didn’t really like the fact that I promoted high intensity training!” [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/DY-3-6.jpg]https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-after-running-a-successful-gym-franchise-m-worth-bodybuilding-giant-dorian-yates-humble-ways-stunned-onstage-rival/ Both bodybuilding entities are of paramount significance in their industry. However, they differed starkly in their opinions about the better pathway to accomplishment. While Yates believed in intensive approaches, Weider had quite opposing thoughts about it.

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.
