Canadian bodybuilders Chris Bumstead and Iain Valliere have become well-known names in the bodybuilding world. While Bumstead is a three-time Mr. Olympia Classic Physique champion, Valliere is the former’s ex-coach. The two are also brother-in-laws, as Valliere is married to Bumstead’s sister Melissa. Bumstead is also a YouTube creator, where he often does fun Q&A videos with his family. In one of the videos, Valliere pointed out that Bumstead could play a famous superhero’s role in the Marvel movies. CHRIS BUMSTEAD CAN BE CAPTAIN AMERICA? A year ago, Bumstead posted a fun family Q&A video on his YouTube channel. The video featured his fiance Courtney King, brother-in-law Iain Valliere and sister Melissa Bumstead. One of the fans asked them – Which Marvel characters would the four of them be? To this question, Valliere responded, “Chris obviously has to be like Captain America for sure.” Bumstead and Chris Evans [actor who plays the role of Captain America] also share the same first name. But, according to Valliere, the superhero’s personality matches that of ‘CBum.’ of Mr. Olympia 2022 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-bodybuilding-icon-chris-bumstead-leaves-brother-in-law-as-coach-ahead-of-mr-olympia-2022/] On the other hand, Bumstead said that Valliere would be a perfect fit to play the role of The Hulk. The four of them often do such fun family vlogs and Q&A videos on Bumstead’s channel [https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisBumstead]. Besides these, CBum also shares bodybuilding tips, workout routines, diet plans, and other health-related stuff on his channel. BUMSTEAD AND VALLIERE’S ACHIEVEMENTS Before winning the title for three consecutive years, Bumstead was placed second twice in the Mr. Olympia Classic Physique event. He finally claimed the title in 2019, defending it in 2020 and 2021. His fellow Canadian bodybuilder Valliere appeared for his first and only Olympia in 2018. Valliere’s New York Pro win is one of his highest achievements in bodybuilding. Recently, ahead of the 2022 Mr. Olympia Championships, Bumstead left Valliere as his coach. However, due to their vast online followers and social media content, the two bodybuilders are well-known in the community. Do you think Bumstead will win his fourth consecutive Mr. Olympia Classic Physique title this year?

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.
