It has never been easy for bodybuilder Flex Wheeler, who again underwent surgery in the past week. After all this, Wheeler has now become accustomed to most operation methods. However, he was still stunned when he realized that an age-old technique was used to stitch up his shoulder injuries. The bodybuilder took to Instagram to question the progress of the medical field in the modern age and share his views. FLEX WHEELER ASKS PEOPLE’S OPINIONS AFTER FINDING STAPLE PINS ON HIS SHOULDER Although Wheeler [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/flex-wheeler/] is no doctor or nurse by profession, he has still grown familiar with surgeries and everything related to it. Hence, the bodybuilder was in utter disbelief when he found that doctors had stapled his stitches instead of using any modern technology. To share this with his followers and ask their opinions on the same, Wheeler posted a picture of his “stapled” shoulders and posted it on Instagram. In the caption, the bodybuilder wrote, “2022 and they’re still using staplers 🧐👀 Seriously, just think here we are with today’s technology, and they still using prehistoric technology in surgery 🥹🥹 Smh 🤦🏾 am I the only one who think this is barbaric? Pls share your opinion. I need to re-examine this with the eyes of someone else’s perspective” Although Wheeler found this technique to be “prehistoric” many people in the comments said otherwise. Like the bodybuilder, some people were also shocked to see the staple pins on Wheeler’s shoulder. But many revealed stapling stitches was one of the most efficient and effective ways for several injuries.

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.
