A 19-year-old boy breaks the bodybuilding record that Arnold Schwarzenegger has held for 57 years

Anton Ratushnyi will undoubtedly be one of the names that will go down in bodybuilding history. At 19 years old, everyone expects him to succeed Chris Bumstead, who has maintained undisputed dominance in recent years in the Mr Olympia Classic Physique competition.

A competition that, until now, had a stellar participant: Arnold Schwarzenegger, who until recently held the record of being the youngest bodybuilder, which he achieved at the age of 20. Until now, Ratushnyi has just become the youngest candidate to obtain his Pro-Card, after securing three titles from the National Physique Committee (NPC), the main amateur bodybuilding organization in the United States.

A record that Arnold Schwarzenegger held for 57 years and that now passes to this young man, who already aims to become the next Mr. Olympia champion in a few years.

Sports professionals consider the young man a prodigy, with an enviable physique and impeccable style, which has left experts speechless. During the national championships, the young bodybuilder exhibited his best technique, showing rare skills for someone his age, as he exhibited poses typical of a world champion.

With a height of 1.80 meters and a weight of 111 kilos, he has achieved his impressive physique thanks to strict training programs and a controlled nutrition plan.

The young man is on the path to becoming the best heir to Arnold Schwarzenegger, who in addition to his historic Mister Universe at the age of 20, also won the title of Mister Olympia seven times, achieving his first victory at the age of 23, and making him the youngest champion in history.

"Having overcome a lot of adversity over the last year, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to believe in yourself and stay true to yourself no matter what happens or what others think of you," the bodybuilder confessed, after win your last NPC. "I'm so glad I decided to pursue my true passion and not let the negativity get to me."

"I took the risk of preparing myself again and challenging myself mentally, physically and emotionally not only to succeed in bodybuilding but also to grow as a person worthy of inspiring this new generation," he said.

The young bodybuilder is very active on social networks, especially on Instagram, where he has more than 237,000 followers. There he shares how he performs his exercises and details of his day to day life.

Little is known about his personal life, but he frequently appears on Instagram with a woman named Sophia, who many believe could be his partner. They both share a passion for fitness, and it seems that their relationship is going from strength to strength.
