A strongman can lift boulders and heavy weights, and fight. But can a strongman climb? Legendary athlete Eddie Hall [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/eddie-hall/] set out to find answers to this question. With some help, the star decided to learn rope climbing. Although the 374lbs star wasn’t sure how far he’d get, he was willing to try. In a YouTube video on his channel, Hall introduced the challenge to his fans. Simply enough, the goal was to scale up a thick rope without slipping or falling. However, the challenging part was the grip and his weight. To help him out and show him the ropes, he had ex-Royal Marine Sam Sherrif. Let’s see if Hall was successful after all! EDDIE HALL AND HIS ROPE CLIMBING ADVENTURE Rope climbing requires balance and strength. Hauling your body weight up and down a rope while maintaining momentum between each haul isn’t easy. Hall took up the challenge like a champ and got to work. To begin, Sherrif taught Hall the correct leg position to hold himself up while climbing. Starting step-by-step, the strongman soon got the hang of it. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/eddie-hall-lead-1653490794.jpg] Soon, Hall [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5483679/] was ready to go. While he had little confidence, he wanted to attempt climbing up, nevertheless. With Sherrif’s help, he made his first attempt to hold on to the rope. That was successful! With the correct posture and some assistance, Hall hung on. However, the happiness didn’t last for long. Made Him Go for 1100 Pounds Deadlift World Record; Interview 2019 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-just-became-so-obsessive-strongman-giant-eddie-hall-revealed-what-made-him-go-for-1100-pounds-deadlift-world-record-interview-2019/] Heavy body weight combined with the toughness of the rope got a bit too much for the Strongman. He gave up after a few attempts to haul himself up the rope. However, he wasn’t disappointed. Instead, he challenged other rope climbers to do as many climbs up and down as possible. STRONGMAN EDDIE HALL LIKES TO ENTERTAIN HIS AUDIENCE Apart from his regular fitness-related content, Eddie Hall also likes to entertain his fans with various antics. He once decided to try impersonation and filmed a parody of the Pakistani Hulk [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-24k-comedy-gold-people-changed-their-views-on-strongman-eddie-hall-after-watching-this-insane-sequence-of-events/], Khan Baba. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Eddie-Hall.png] The parody video contained various clips of Khan Baba attached to Hall’s videos of imitating him. Donning a costume and exaggerating expressions and tones, the athlete showed his fans how he was a strong entertainer, too. Hall has previously indulged in such parodies, and despite some criticism, he continues to entertain the majority of his fans.

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.

<ul>
 	<li><strong>Lee Haney:</strong></li>
</ul>
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.
