The three-time Mr. Olympia was rightly called The Myth for his incredibly huge 5 feet 10 inches body.

However, as the only bodybuilder ever to carry his father’s legacy in bodybuilding history, junior Sergio experiences comparison.

The Cuban government noticed Sergio Oliva’s bodybuilding capabilities, which helped him to elevate himself as a bodybuilder. Soon, Sergio decided to participate in Mr. Olympia and went on to win the title unconquered from 1679 to 1969.
