The excitement for Mr.Olympia has taken the fitness world by storm. Recently, seven-time Mr.Olympia, Phil Heath gave an interesting perspective on the competition talking about the NFL and NBA players who can choose bodybuilding as an alternative career. Heath last appeared in Mr. Olympia 2020 and will continue to refrain from participating this year too. In 2022, he will appear as a commentator giving updates on the performance of the participants. PHIL HEATH HAS AN INTERESTING TAKE ON NBA AND NFL PLAYERS In many interviews, Heath has talked about the potential bodybuilders participating in Mr.Olympia 2022. The 42-year-old had an interesting take on NBA and NFL athletes who could take on bodybuilding as a career. In a recent interview [https://twitter.com/ClubShayShay/status/1602770341465464833?t=i7UhkUuyzhYKVXDn9hEb5w&s=19] with three-time Super Bowl Champion, Shannon Sharpe, Heath got candid. During the conversation, Sharpe asked Heath about the NBA and NFL players who could step into the role of a bodybuilder. Heath deeply analyzed the question and answered; “DK Metcalf. Nate Robinson would’ve been dope. Dame Lillard could do it and Tony Allen back in the day, but most guys are too tall.” Heath Taking Jay Cutler’s Comeback Advice Seriously? [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-im-ready-to-fully-train-my-a-off-is-7x-mr-olympia-phil-heath-taking-jay-cutlers-comeback-advice-seriously/] Apart from the players that Heath named, he believed that most NBA and NFL players were too tall for the sport. According to studies, tall guys face difficulty in gaining lean mass and have to go through multiple traditional exercises that slowly help in bodybuilding. WHY IS HEATH NOT PARTICIPATING IN MR.OLYMPIA 2022? The seven-time Mr.Olympia went through a severe hernia operation less than a week after winning his seventh title in 2017. After taking time off to heal, he trained and appeared in 2018’s Mr.Olympia where his winning streak ended with Shawn Rhoden.

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.
