However, comparisons are something that we thrive on and in the world of bodybuilding, there have been a lot of comparisons over the ages. Over the last 5-decades, there have been about 47-Mr. Olympia competitions and every year, the person winning the title is considered one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The constant rise in the overall level of competition, the size of the competitors, their muscular proportions and their conditioning has just gone through the roof.
As a seven-time Mr. Olympia winner, Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of the most famous bodybuilders of all time. However, compare him to 8-time winner Ronnie Coleman, a bodybuilder who makes Arnold seem tiny, and you realize how far the competition has come today.
Rising Through the Ranks of Bodybuilding
The biggest thing that has affected the training and preparation of bodybuilders is the amount of information that is available today. In the early days of bodybuilding, every famous bodybuilder had to rely on their own research and observations, as well as of those working around them, to figure out how to make themselves bigger or find a better way to work on a particular muscle-group. Today, however, there is a lot of information freely available and the way for bodybuilders to get into competition is much easier.
You rarely see more than one famous bodybuilder in the same gym, simply because there are so many well-equipped gyms as well as a lot of hidden training techniques. Every professional bodybuilder, today, has some secrets that they just don’t reveal, while the rest of the things are freely handed out through books and videos. Today, someone like Tuan Tran, a bodybuilder who follows the natural way of bodybuilding, can easily provide valuable information to up and coming bodybuilders just as easily as someone like Jeff Long, a bodybuilder who worked hard to make his way into the IFBB professional ranks and is one of the rising bodybuilders of today.
Almost every single individual has had to work really hard and long to find any way of breaking into the top of the sport of bodybuilding. Most of these professional bodybuilders, Jay Cutler and the like, started at a very young age. Some were earlier, like Joel Thomas, a bodybuilder who began training in gymnastics at the age of 8, and then moved onto wrestling before finally ending up in weightlifting while still in high school. In the end, famous bodybuilders are those who have managed to develop that passion within themselves and find a way to the top of the list.
Do you have it In You to Turn Pro?
There are many questions that new entrants into the sport have and, luckily, they can easily gain access to some famous bodybuilders like, Phil Heath, Johnnie Jackson and David Henry, bodybuilders who have websites, training videos, DVDs, articles and so much more. Everyone is trying to give out as much information as possible and become a famous bodybuilder by getting their name out there.
For people just starting out or trying to reach the next level in fitness training, there are plenty of places where they can find up to date information about the latest bodybuilding techniques, tips and more, all thanks to these famous bodybuilders who are willingly putting stuff out there for everyone’s benefits. All you need to do is create a plan, setup your goals and find the right kind of mentor to help you turn those plans into action.
A lifestyle change is the most important element in trying to become a famous bodybuilder and the fact is, everyone started out at the same point. Sure, genetic make-up of an individual does have a bit of a say in how the final result may turn out but there are enough ways to turn things around without relying on illegal or harmful substances to produce the kind of results you have planned for. The important thing is to not try and get results overnight – something that all famous bodybuilders have understood and accepted.
They have worked tirelessly for years, focusing on what they wanted to achieve and overcoming obstacles to get to that final destination. Brad Rowe, bodybuilder and fitness model, was a three-sport athlete in high school and ended up suffering a terrible ankle-injury that ended his career in track, weightlifting and football. However, he wasn’t ready to give up yet and even though Rowe was unable to play football or participate in track events, he directed his energies at becoming a bodybuilder. Today, Rowe is one of the topmost fitness models in the world today.
The one thing you need to remember is that if you start off bodybuilding with the goal of becoming a famous bodybuilder, you are likely to fail. If you love bodybuilding and are willing to spend days, weeks and years pursuing your fitness and bodybuilding goals, chances are, fame and fortune will follow. Choose your goals wisely, create a plan and stick to your training regimen with discipline, patience and persistence. If you stick to your plans, you will become one of the top-10 bodybuilders in the world!
