THE BODY SHAPING CHAMPIONS

The following men and women have spent many hours a day for many years of their lives shaping their bodies in such a way as to be unforgettable and commanding to all who viewed it. I have never been to an event such as MR. OLYMPIA or MS. WORLD but I am sure it would be quite an experience. I have been to the British Columbia physique contests for both men and women on several occasions over the years and the air was electric with excitement. These men and women work diligently to make themselves the next champion and their few moments on stage under the spotlight and in front of the judges are critically important to them.

It is one thing to see these people on a stage and another to stand right next to a world champion body-builder which is an experience I had at Vancouver International Airport. I was waiting to board a plane when a man-mountain got in line behind me. He turned out to be the current, at the time, Mr. U.S.A. , and judging by the size of his arms and shoulders I figured he could easily pick me up and throw me a significant distance if he wanted to. We sat next to each other on the flight and I learned a lot more about professional body-building from him than I had ever known before, including the amount of food they have to ingest every day in order to maintain their huge size. I think they spend a lot of time shopping for food items, preparing the food, and eating it. It is a non-stop process for the giants of the sport.

Here is a look at the cosmic profile of the MR. OLYMPIA champions. Larry Scott (left photo) was the first Mr. Olympia winning in 1965 and 1966; Jay Cutler (right photo) won in 2007. How the body style preferences have changed over the years. The difference in what the judges look for in physical body types is immediately apparent from the two photos. Choose your favorite; there is no doubt that these people are dedicated and focused bodybuilders. Larry Scott,  www.larryscott.com .

HT = heliogram type,  PP = planetary patterns,  T = t-square (2T= two t-squares),  S = stellium,  K = kite,  GT = grand trine,  GX = grand cross

The numbers in brackets after the name is either the year of winning or the number of times they won the title.

Six of the eleven contest winners have the Earth position at birth in one of only three sectors, 10, 11, and 12, or put another way,  more than half of the contestants were born when the Earth was in one quarter of the possible sectors.

The first Mr. Olympia contest was held in 1965 and the first Ms. Olympia contest was held fifteen year later in 1980. The table below contains the cosmic profiles of all the Ms. Olympia winners starting with Rachel McLish who won in 1980 and 1982 and finishing with Iris Kyle who won in 2006 and 2007. To see the truly dramatic change in the kind of bodies the judges were looking for, just look at the two photos, Rachel McLish on the left and Iris Kyle on the right.

The table below contains the cosmic profiles of both these champions plus all the other Ms. Olympia winners. The numbers in brackets after the names indicates the number of Ms. Olympia titles won.

T = t-square,   2T = two t-squares,   S = stellium,   GT = grand trine,   K = kite

The heliogram-type mix for the contest winners is quite different for the two sexes; the male winners have predominantly the more frequently seen heliogram types such as the BOWL while the female champions have more of the less frequently seen heliogram types such as the BUTTERFLY, WASP, SPLAY, and TRAIN. This is an interesting tidbit of new knowledge from the solar system and I will keep the tables up to date each year to see if the trends continue. Stay tuned!
