When it comes to the world of bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/] and powerlifting, accidents can cause even the best of the lot. It is all a game of balance and control and even the slightest non-sync can go tremendously wrong. This was exactly what happened with the infamous Bodybuilder Justyn Vicky, who passed away about a month ago in a situation of disbalance. Before the untimely demise of the legend, a lesser-known fitness influencer had warned the entire fitness community of such risks with a video online. WILLIAM NIETO WARNING THE FITNESS COMMUNITY ABOUT TAKING A GOOD SPOTTER In a throwback video posted by fitness influencer William Nieto on his official Instagram page, he shared with the fitness world the horrific accidents that might occur when you are training alone. He even captioned the video, “You should not train alone!!!!!” In the video, he was trying to pull out just one rep of a 315 lbs bench press all alone. He had no spotter standing behind the bars. He managed to bring the bar down to his chest pretty much smoothly. However, the massacre occurred the moment he tried to lift up the bar and place it to rest. Accident in the Gym Leaves Fitness World Enraged Over ‘Clueless’ Spotter [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-may-he-rest-in-peace-tragic-death-of-bodybuilder-who-met-a-fatal-accident-in-the-gym-leaves-fitness-world-enraged-over-clueless-spotter/] Just as he tried pushing the bar up to re-rack it, he lost control, and the bar got stuck. Now, if he had the spotter even just standing behind him, it could have been easier. However, he had no one standing, and that is why it became so difficult for him. Now a very similar case happened with the legend Justyn Vicky as well.

The Indonesian bodybuilder met with a fatal gym accident that caused his life last month at the age of 33! Justyn Vicky was making an attempt to squat 462.97 lbs on the barbell. The report said, “Vicky failed to complete the lift and fell forward, cascading the weight bar off his shoulders and snapping his neck and head forward.” [https://i0.wp.com/media.ghgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/22145659/Who-Is-Justyn-Vicky.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&ssl=1] Now, the force of the weight managed to break his neck, and it somehow compressed the nerves that connected to his heart and respiratory systems. Vicky had a clueless spotter that day for the deadly exercise. Maybe if the spotter would have paid better attention or if he would have informed the intensity of the lift, the bodybuilding world would not have had another tragic loss.

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.
