Although there is a saying that, in the presence of strength, the mind is not particularly required, however, not everyone has been given the opportunity to “harness” this very strength and develop the physical parameters of their body to record sizes. Here we need a competent approach, thorough knowledge in medicine, biology, even in physics and chemistry, the ability to correctly calculate the load during training, to compose a diet and much, much more. Those. in addition to the texture itself - the body, you also need good brains.
On the way to highscores
The most inflated person in the world - this phrase sounds like a title, like a prize, like an honorary title. In fact, the way it is. After all, in order to be recognized as a "mountain man", you need to sweat in the gyms for years, in many ways limit yourself and, in fact, give your life to the service of bodybuilding. A vivid example of this is an athlete from Germany named Marcus Rule. He was nicknamed “Bodybuilding Watermelon” by professionals for his huge balls of biceps that roll eerily under his skin. When this most inflated person in the world (the title of athlete in 2009) prepares for the next competition and, eating on a special diet, expels water from his body, it seems that his body will simply burst, unable to withstand the pressure of muscle mass. Stunning reliefs, impressive performance - Marcus began to systematically go to them from about 19 years old. It is believed that athletes in this area at this age are already a bit old. After all, the younger the body, the easier it is to rebuild and stress, and therefore young men begin to engage in professional bodybuilding much earlier - from 15-16 years old.
The “German Beast” (another athlete’s nickname) - the most inflated person in the world - experienced many disappointments, serious injuries before reaching the heights of Olympus bodybuilding. And now he is trying to stay within the framework of his rank and anthropometric parameters, continues to seriously train and perform at prestigious competitions and contests. Fortunately, health and fitness allow this. After all, with a standard height of seventy-seven centimeters, Marcus’s biceps volume is fifty-seven cm, weight during the competition is one hundred twenty seven kg, chest volume is one hundred forty-eight cm, and hips are eighty-four cm. When the most inflated person in the world is resting from performances, he gains a “couple” of extra kilograms and weighs one hundred forty-five kg. And if the hero of the catwalks appears on the street, ordinary people next to him look comically small, even if in fact they are quite solid in size.
Another idol
The next recognized bodybuilder in the world, which can not be forgotten, is Jay Cutler. He not only became Mr. Olympia four times, but also made a good acting career in Hollywood. If you ask about who is the most powerful person on the planet, then Cutler is very suitable for this role. From childhood, he was engaged in heavy physical labor, working on construction sites (father and brother were in this business, Jay, as the youngest man in the family, started the same way from scratch). This has become a kind of platform for the development of muscle strength, mass building. And while studying at law college, Cutler stubbornly engaged in “bodybuilding” in his spare time - the term “bodybuilding” is translated. Perseverance and desire to achieve high results helped to overcome all difficulties. Jay is currently the only bodybuilder who was able to regain Olympia after the defeat.
Another "star" American, who left a significant mark in the history of bodybuilding and athleticism, is Art Atwood. Unfortunately, he passed away very early - at the age of 37 years.
And who is the strongest man in the world at the moment? It is perhaps impossible to answer unequivocally. Indeed, this title is very consistent with Ronnie Coleman - a professional bodybuilder, winner of many competitions in this field. No less suitable candidate is the Lithuanian heavyweight-weightlifter Savickas. His only record in the world is a squat with a four-hundred-kilogram barbell in his hands. The award for victory in one of the competitions was presented to him by "Uncle Arnie" himself - the famous Schwarz-Terminator.
By the way, it is worth recalling in this article the idols of the past, standing at the origins of healthy bodybuilding - Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Chuck Noris.
