The Mr. Olympia championship is a tough road to ride. From practicing hardcore workouts to keeping up with a strict diet plan, a bodybuilder has to make many sacrifices. As they say, there’s no gain without any pain. Bodybuilder, Chris Bumstead, went through the same process. However, after winning the Classic Physique category of Mr. Olympia, it was time for a treat. Bumstead chose an epic cheat meal that would make our mouths water! WHAT’S ON THE MENU FOR CHRIS BUMSTEAD? While preparing for the contest, the star bodybuilder was on a strict diet. His daily meals mainly consisted of proteins and carbs and included food items like oatmeal, chicken breasts, white rice, etc. Bumstead made sure to stay disciplined towards his diet and eat clean until the championship. His dedication to maintaining a strict diet regime and intensive workout sessions paid him off. The icon consequently won the Classic Physique category of Mr. Olympia 2021, for the third consecutive year.

He began his morning with a wrap filled with egg whites, turkey, spinach, and mushrooms, paired with fruits, a chocolate chip pancake, a pumpkin pancake, and coffee. For lunch, he chose a whole-wheat turkey sub while his partner, Courtney King baked him a loaf of banana bread and some cookies. Finally, for dinner, the star chose a decadent pizza with a truckload of toppings and cheese. Bumstead Once Made A Heartbreaking Confession About His Profession [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-friends-will-even-stop-talking-to-you-bodybuilding-icon-chris-bumstead-once-made-a-heartbreaking-confession-about-his-profession/] Notably, Chris mentioned how he hopes to have a “more aggressive” cheat meal in the future when his body manages to adapt. Being a bodybuilder not only means bulking up one day and eating heartily the next. It also includes slowly adapting one’s body to a different diet. Breaking the habit of clean eating is also as difficult as beginning the cycle of clean eating. While Bumstead has sacrificed a lot for bodybuilding, his dedication and hard work have paid off immensely. Holding the title for three consecutive years takes serious amounts of passion and sincerity towards the goal. The superstar has proved over the years that staying true to your journey always results in your betterment.

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.
