It’s been only a few months since Chris Bumstead won his fifth Mr. Olympia title in Classic Physique. Now the bodybuilder is going to have to cross another milestone, although this is more personal. The soon-to-be father who is expecting a baby girl has already started seeing the world through the lens of a father and has been looking for things to give to his firstborn. The 29-year-old bodybuilder who revealed his partner Courtney King was pregnant around the time of Mr. Olympia, had been constantly speculating about his life with the kids. Although he confessed to not liking the idea of letting people know any information explicitly, Bumstead still cannot contain his excitement. CHRIS BUMSTEAD’S LOVED BOOK Through his latest Instagram story, CBum shared a photo from his childhood. In the photo, Bumstead was but a little boy, burying his face in a children’s book. The book happens to be called, “Ten Little Dinosaurs” by Pattie Schnetzler. The book has illustrations and crafty pages with googly eyes and blank eye holes for the children’s participation, making it thoroughly enjoyable. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/gg-3.jpeg]Image Credits: IMAGO In the caption of the story, CBum talked about how much he loved the book. He also mentioned that he needs to find it so as it pass it on what he considered to have been a great read as a child. He wrote, “I loved this book as a little boy lmao, gonna have time find it for baby bum.” Chris Bumstead has also decided to not reveal the name they are thinking for the baby girl. However, he did mention one of his suggestions for baby bum. CBUM’S FUNNY SUGGESTION Bumstead was once asked about the name they were thinking for the upcoming baby. However, after refusing to share it [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-chris-bumstead-is-brainstorming-names-for-his-soon-to-be-born-baby-daughter-and-cleopatra-is-on-the-list/], CBum did reveal one funny story where Bumstead wanted to name their baby with an old name. He stated, “I had a funny idea. I told Cortney I wanted to name our daughter something that’s just like very old, like only an old person would have, like Bob or Glattus or Cleopatra or something random.” WATCH THIS STORY: Hany Rambod Confesses How Chris Bumstead’s Injury Before Mr. Olympia Put Him In Stress [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/bodybuilding-news-hany-rambod-confesses-how-chris-bumsteads-injury-before-mr-olympia-put-him-in-stress/] Having a baby might be one of the most overwhelming emotions anyone can feel, and swept by that, Chris Bumstead is trying his best to find out how to tend to his baby.

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.

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.
