A reliable spotter can make all the difference when it comes to equipment safety if there’s a struggle lifting heavy. But what happens when your spotter is not a strong, muscular human, but a gentle, furry, adorable gym cat? Will the person manage to lift the weight without a scare in the world? Well, in the case of a famous fitness influencer Rob Williams, the cat was just in time for the rescue. A heartwarming and hilarious video of a gym cat assisting the fitness enthusiast has been making waves on social media as it led to unexpected results for the set. AN IMPROMPTU GYM SPOTTER APPEARED FROM NOWHERE The video begins with Rob attempting to lift a heavy barbell during a bench press exercise. However, the weight seems a little heavier than he could handle. Despite his best efforts, he struggled to balance the weight and complete the rep. His friend and spotter Tate Williams could be seen standing beside him and motivating him to keep pushing. But, just as he was about to give up, a cat sprung up with grace as if to push his spirits up. The cat hopped on his chest and settled there, innocently looking at him to finish his rep. After he placed the barbell safely, he couldn’t help but giggle and attempted to continue his workout, although with the cat adding a little more weight.

His friend confirmed, “I didn’t touch it”. A sigh of relief and happiness could be heard as Rob chuckled at completing the set. FANS LAUDED THE BONDING BETWEEN A BODYBUILDING INFLUENCER AND HIS PET Fans were moved by the impromptu assistance that came from the voiceless creature. They were delighted to see the unexpected and heartwarming moment. Many viewers dubbed cat the “Best Spotter.” A fan wrote, “Cat doesn’t want him to lift his butt while benching.” “Cat said “Get that sh*t up”, another added.

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.
