Bodybuilding is one of the sports where you have to wait with patience for your time to arrive. Very few have managed to just arrive and take the stage by storm. Even 8X Mr. Olympia title winner, Ronnie Coleman, took around six years to win his first title. Indeed, bodybuilders have to hang around and keep working on themselves.
