Embarrassing moments have always gotten the best of people. And recently, Strongman Eddie Hall [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/eddie-hall/] fell prey to one such situation. While he aimed to show off his might, he ended up with flushed cheeks. What took the world’s strongest man down? Well, Hall might be able to lift several pounds and throw strong punches, but his strength couldn’t stand up to a deck of cards! Hall saw a video of a man ripping apart a deck of cards with his bare hands and attempted to do the same. In the video, the man made it look really easy, and Hall figured that it shouldn’t be a problem for a Strongman like him. No surprises – not only did Hall fail horribly, but he also faced the embarrassment of fans watching him while failing. What went down? EDDIE HALL LOST TO A DECK OF CARDS! Eddie Hall has many accolades to his name. After receiving the title of World’s Strongest Man, Hall went on to shine in boxing as well. His physical strength is unparalleled and, along with his contenders, makes up for the perfect representation of might and power. So, when a man as strong as Hall faces defeat from something as puny as a deck of cards, it is a bit embarrassing. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/eddie-hall-lead-1653490794.jpg] The Facebook video featured a creator by the name of Hairculese [https://www.tiktok.com/@hairculese], who showed off his strength with a deck of cards. The creator took a big pile and tore it apart using only his hands. Hall reacted to this and thought of recreating it. 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/] The situation couldn’t have gone more wrong. Eddie Hall tried tearing the deck apart, but to no avail. He didn’t give up and tried splitting the deck in half before attempting to rip it apart. Despite tasting dust on his second attempt as well, Hall was determined to make a point and tried again. The third time wasn’t the charm either. In the end, Hall reluctantly gave up. He grumbled about the video being a fix. He accused the camera person of getting him the wrong kind of cards. But all in jest, the Strongman was a good sport about the entire incident. He loves to entertain his audience and has previously resorted to impersonations [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-bodybuilding-news-worlds-strongest-man-eddie-hall-makes-millions-laugh-with-a-hilarious-impersonation-of-khan-baba/] as well. In the comments, he also thanked the creator for the video. Meanwhile, Hall’s measly attempt at ripping apart a deck of cards made his fans laugh at his failure, which he didn’t mind toward the end. So, all’s well that ends well? Watch This Story: Arnold Schwarzenegger vs Andre The Giant: Who Is Stronger?

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.
