Bodybuilder Cydney Gillon has dedicatedly worked towards becoming the greatest figure competitor of all time. Since 2017, the 31-year-old has been consecutively defending her title in the Figure Olympia championship. Her journey began in 2014 when Cydney was noticed for her amazing X-frame and proportions as a Figure competitor. Recently, Gillon shared a few bodybuilding tips from her experience that can help aspiring female bodybuilders. Gillon’s career did not take off within a day. After competing in championships like the 2014 IFBB Toronto Supershow, 2015 Wings of Strength Chicago Pro, and 2016 Pittsburgh Pro, she reached her Olympia status. In her latest YouTube video entitled Advice to New Competitors, Gillon talked about the importance of focusing on one’s goals while practicing self-love. BODYBUILDER CYDNEY GILLON TALKS ABOUT FOCUSING ON A POSITIVE BODYBUILDING EXPERIENCE “Focus on yourself, that’s going to be very crucial but in that same breath you have to make sure that you love yourself through and through before you start a sport” As per her recent YouTube video, Cydney told aspiring female bodybuilders to begin their fitness journey with an act of self-love. According to her, self-love makes a person confident and prepares them to be able to take the judgment passed in competitions. Furthermore, Cydney states that if someone is judging them, one must make sure that they “don’t lose that self-esteem”. With self-love, aspiring bodybuilders can ensure a positive experience without getting affected by criticism. However, one must also have the mentality to take feedback and grow by working on it. Being ‘Too Big’ at 1992 Ms. Olympia [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-hey-girls-still-be-muscular-women-bodybuilders-were-penalized-for-being-too-big-at-1992-ms-olympia/] Gillon also emphasized that irrespective of the situation, one will have to work on themselves. Moreover, while they are working to become better, they must give their 150% in that process. She urges them to take it slow and trust the process. While building a bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/] physique is no cakewalk, it is important that enthusiasts remain honest and identify the areas where they have not worked much. Here is what Gillon asked not to do. Gillon stated bodybuilders must refrain from comparing themselves to others, especially on Instagram. As most of the pictures can be easily photoshopped, there is no use for that comparison. What matters the most is when one is on the stage. Her clear message to aspiring female bodybuilders was to keep working on themselves and learn to take honest criticism and honestly work on it.

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.
