Larry Wheels is one of the very few athletes who can usually enter a different fitness sport and do exceptionally well. Although a powerlifter with great records, Wheel not only challenged the famous arm wrestler Ron Bath, but he also gave him a tough competition in the process! The 61-year-old former arm wrestler, Ron Bath was seen talking about his past experiences in the sport as well as his present. Furthermore, he took on not only Larry Wheels but also Adam Silver. After a warm-up with him, he found it difficult to make a clear win when he approached Wheels. RON BATH VS LARRY WHEELS In the latest video shared by Larry Wheels, Ron Bath was seen initially beating Adam Silver in a game of Arm Wrestling. Later on, the famous Arm Wrestler finally came as an opponent to the mighty powerlifter Larry Wheels. Unlike how smoothly it went with Silver, Bath struggled to keep his posture uptight when up against Larry Wheels. In several instances, Wheels was able to score against Bath with many skills. However, the result was not declared, and the clip ended with a tied moment between the two athletes. Ron Bath had to admit how Wheels had great moments that stirred the arm wrestler. He stated, “he’s had me I felt my wrist crack back”. Ron Bath also mentioned his teeth and how much effort he puts into it because of his bad habit as a grinder. About a year ago, another similar incident transpired as Larry Wheels was defeated by the “Schoolboy” in arm wrestling. Let us look at how it proceeded and what went wrong for Wheels back then. LARRY WHEELS DEFEAT In May 2022, Larry Wheels was arm wrestling against Aleksandr “Schoolboy” Beziazykov’.

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.
