The Shape of Bodybuilding
All of us who pick up a barbell to change the look of our physiques were initially motivated or influenced by another person to begin our transformation. If you ask the best bodybuilders in the world who inspired them to get into bodybuilding, they will all be able to provide an answer.
On March 1st-3rd, 2013, promoters Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jim Lorimer will celebrate 25 years of their celebrated Arnold Classic event. Starting in 1989, Schwarzenegger and Lorimar began promoting one of the premier bodybuilding events in the spring of that year. After years of promoting the Mr. Olympia, Mr. Universe (World Bodybuilding Championships) and the Pro Mr. World events, among others, Arnold and Jim decided to start their very own contest named, of course, after the most popular name in the history of bodybuilding. The rest, as they say, is history.

As Franco Columbu climbed the steps leading to the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, October 10th, 1981, he felt confident of victory. Having just returned from several weeks in Hawaii, Franco had put the finishing touches to both his tan and his physique as he prepared to shock the bodybuilding world by adding another Mr. Olympia title to his already impressive resume.
