For David Schneider, a severe disability did not put a damper on his dreams. The man is on his journey to becoming a bodybuilder, and so far, he’s been doing great! A recent viral video on LADBible featured Schneider lifting heavy weights while sitting in a wheelchair. The champion powered through the lifts as he got constant encouragement from his personal trainer. Suffering from a congenital condition called AMC, Schneider is now a wheelchair athlete performing lifts and pumping them up just like any other bodybuilder. Here’s taking a look at the popular video. DAVID SCHNEIDER PUMPS IT UP WITH SHEER MIGHT David Schneider was born with a severe disability that affects his mobility. Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) is a condition where multiple joints in the body stiffen to the point of little to no movement of the joints. This means that the person suffering from this condition is unable to fully or partially extend or bend their limbs. Schneider was given no hope by doctors with regard to his mobility. Yet, the champion persevered and aimed to build his body. Within a year of his diagnosis, he was on the road to becoming a bodybuilder! Despite having a limited range of motion, Schneider still managed to perform various exercises. Feet: “Don’t Want to Be Judged for My Body and Yet I Put Myself in a Bodybuilding Competition” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-the-undefeated-outlook-of-a-female-bodybuilder-with-no-hands-and-feet-dont-want-to-be-judged-for-my-body-and-yet-i-put-myself-in-a-bodybuilding-competition/] The video began with Schneider’s personal trainer handing him the big weights to lift. The athlete took up the task like a champ and began performing his reps. At first, he seemed to aim for three. But he pushed to complete five reps before handing the weights back to his trainer. With this stint, Schneider is now the source of inspiration for many specially-abled bodybuilders. Bodybuilding legends like Ronnie Coleman and Flex Wheeler have acted as sources of inspiration even after their retirement. Both suffered from a wide variety of issues that have affected their mobility to a huge extent. While for Coleman, it’s his severe back issues [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-mr-olympia-despite-his-disability-to-walk-ronnie-coleman-posts-adorable-dance-video-with-his-three-daughters/], for Wheeler, it’s his amputation. Yet, both stars still keep up with their intense training. They have therefore become some of the biggest inspirations for upcoming bodybuilders.

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.
