Mr.Olympia. Larry Scott

He's been on no less than 22 magazine covers and was the first Mr.Olympia. Larry Scott can still demand respect even today with those mighty arms and awesome physique but he was once a small and scrawny kid.

The first Mr. Olympia was held on September 18, 1965 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City, with Larry Scott winning his first of two straight titles.

Larry Scott, nicknamed "the Legend", born on October 12, 1938 in Blackfoot, Idaho is an American . Scott was the winner of the IFBB's Mr. Olympia title the first two years of the competition in 1965 and 1966. Scott went to the California Air College to study electronics and is known to be a devout Mormon. He is married to Rachel Ichikawa.

Even today Larry is in top shape and truly deserves his place as one of the true legends of Bodybuilding
