Sylvester Stallone:
born on July 6, 1946, in New York City, Sylvester Stallone is one of the most popular Hollywood action stars of all time
Sly Stallone first got his inspiration to pursue exercise and nutrition when he saw Steve Reeves (a former Mr. Universe) in HERCULES! At 13 years old, Sylvester was astounded with films such as Hercules:Unchained, Goliath and the Barbarians and The Thief of Baghdad.
Today Sylvester Stallone is an inspiration to many who strive to
improve their physical prowess, willpower and determination. For an
example of his physique at its best, take a look at films like Rocky III or Rocky IV, Rambo II, or Rambo III.
In 2012, Stallone reunited with the cast of The Expendables to co-star in a follow-up film, The Expendables 2
Sergio Oliva:
He was born on July 4, 1941 in Cuba. The nickname of Oliva is “The Myth”
and if you want to know why then see him at the 1967 Montreal World’s
Fair. A sun worshipper coaxed him into this field of bodybuilding and he
is the only bodybuilder to ever defeat Arnold in a Mr. Olympia contest,
1969. He is the second bodybuilder to win Mr. Olympia contest. Peeping a
little into his personal life, he got shot by his then-wife Arleen
Garrett and sustained 5 bullet wounds but The Myth survived that because
he is a myth. His height is 5 feet 9 inches and has got a 20 inch arm.
Although some of you might consider Arnold to be at the top spot but I
will back my ranking by the statement of Joe Weider as he said to Oliva
that when he was in his best shape, no one could stand parallel to him.
The numerous title won by Oliva are 1965 Junior Mr. America – AAU, Most
Muscular, 1966 Mr. World – IFBB, Overall Winner, 1966 Mr Universe – IFBB
Winnera and 1985 Olympia – IFBB, 8th etc.
