Father’s Day is a day when people reflect on the very significant role that their fathers play in the different phases of their lives. For the bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/] icon Richard Gaspari, Father’s Day holds a great deal of importance because his father was not only an absolutely perfect parent but also played a pivotal role in his career as an athlete. On the special occasion of Father’s Day this year, Richard Gaspari paid a heartfelt tribute to his role model. He put forward the unwavering support that his father gave him and the sheer impact it had on who he has become today. RICHARD GASPARI’S SUPERSTAR The American retired professional bodybuilder took to his Instagram on Sunday and shared a picture of himself with his beloved late father. He intended to share the significant role that his father played in shaping his life. He started the caption with, “Happy Fathers Day. To my dad who was a huge influence on me with his work ethic and who worked so hard to give his family the best life he could.” Gaspari’s dad was like his backbone. He helped him get through the various realms of his life. He added, “He was a great support in my career coming to every one of my competitions to cheer me on. He always encouraged me to be the best I could be and said there are no shortcuts in life.” World’s Second Richest Bodybuilder Infuriated [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-you-would-get-smoked-today-absurd-comment-leaves-59-year-old-worlds-second-richest-bodybuilder-infuriated-rich-gaspari/] Ending the caption on a sad but loving note, the $90 Million worth bodybuilding veteran penned, “I miss him very much. Love you, Dad.” His dad is the reason that Gaspari still goes on to follow his strong work ethic, and even at 60, he has the same amount of dedication to working out as he had when he was young. Even on days when he does not feel like it, he remembers why he started. CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY FOR RICH GASPARI Also known as the Dragon Slayer, Gaspari never misses an opportunity to hit the gym. To him, being consistent and positive toward your goal is the key. In one of his recent posts on Instagram, he said, “Be a Dragon slayer and make the impossible possible and make things happen! Work hard, be consistent, and be positive and your Dragons can be slayed!” [https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2022/08/9cd7e-16596977668948-1920.jpg] The masterpiece of a physique that he has created is a testament to his hard work over the years, and he is definitely one of the best bodybuilders of all time. There is no doubt in the fact that the Dragon Slayer has indeed made his old man proud!

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.
