My tryst with MLB was accidental, but what followed was nothing short of a pursuit of excellence. Having penned over 1,000 articles, I've written about the key figures ES regularly features, including Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, and Mike Trout, but Shohei Ohtani is a personal favorite. From New York to Los Angeles, I've covered articles spanning all 50 states that have been recognized as Editor's Picks on multiple occasions. With an exceptional attention to detail and insightful coverage, I'm now an MLB editor. Other than baseball, I also occasionally pick up a bow and arrow and engage in friendly archery games. When not writing about baseball or hitting the bull's eye with my arrows, I love to indulge in my love for literature.?The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid,? by Jane Austen is a personal favorite quote of mine. I also enjoy reading about morally gray characters and talking about them on my bookstagram.

Although he might not be a household name, an influencer is taking over the bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/https:/www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/https:/www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/] and fitness world and has helped more than 8000 people. He trains them without making anyone sacrifice too much for fitness. Founder and CEO of Johnson Fitness, the largest fitness transformation program in the UK, the influencer was ranked the top 3 coaches in Forbes magazine as well and skyrocketed his business through training and hard work. It’s none other than Charlie Johnson. However, some followers and fitness enthusiasts do not seem to like his out-of-the-box methods. His latest fitness hack received a surprising review. CHARLIE JOHNSON SHOWS A NEW FITNESS HACK The businessman and bodybuilder uploaded an Instagram video about chiseling abs. Johnson explained the exercise as a Swiss ball crunch but the secret was that the knees are locked in with a lying hamstring curl machine. The feet are not planted to the ground but the knees are locked to give better grip to the exercise. Holding on to the thighs gives a better stability for the crunches according to him. He also captioned the post writing, “This Forces the Hips to Stay Locked in Place and you can Control Your Abs through the Whole Movement.” However, this hack was not really appreciated by the fitness community. The fitness coach with years of experience and a whole team of fitness experts who help others could not impress the online world. They had a different opinion on this new exercise altogether. FITNESS WORLD THROWS BACKLASH TO UK’S TOP COACH Johnson’s followers saw the video and had only one verdict: the exercise was not useful. One commented, “Just be really funny not dumb funny.” Another fitness buff harshly stated, “That is so unnecessary and stupid!!!” to Sadness Days After Getting a Hair Transplant [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-watching-all-this-work-fade-away-chris-bumsteads-happiness-turns-to-sadness-days-after-getting-a-hair-transplant/] One comment read, “The absolute definition of a gym fail person.” One even asked about the blocking of the hamstring curl machine and wrote, “ What if someone wants to use that machine.” Another gym-goer had the same question too and said, “Blocking a machine you’re not using… douche.” Watch This Story: “Make You Less Intelligent Over Time”: Excercise Scientist Talks About The Cognitive Side Effects Of PEDs [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/bodybuilding-news-make-you-less-intelligent-over-time-exercise-scientist-talks-about-the-cognitive-side-effects-of-peds/] Do you think this exercise is effective or do you have the same verdict as others in the comments?

As a fitness influencer shows his new hack to getting the perfect abs and demonstrates a new exercise, the fitness world lashes out.

I am Tanushree Bhowmick. I have always loved running and sprinting since I was a
child and I often took pride in being unbeaten at sporting events in school. The
love I had for sport continued to follow me into adulthood. I still nurture a
love for fitness and anything related to Gymnastics, because these sports have
always intrigued me and inspired me in my professional writing career and
lifestyle. I am a Bodybuilding writer at EssentiallySports and hold a Master?s
Degree in English Literature. Some of my favorite athletes are Simone Biles and
Arnold Schwarzenegger. Many of my 700-plus articles for the bodybuilding
division are about the 7x Mr. Olympia winner. For my writing, I often track the
Terminator icon?s fitness newsletter and delve into the advice that Arnie
provides for his ?village? Given my passion for fitness and bodybuilding, I
aspire to write about and interview icons from the field.

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.
