Here are five reasons to watch this year's competition:
1. WILL LAST YEAR'S CHAMPION BEAT ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER'S SEVEN WINS?
2017 Mr. Olympia Phil Heath has dominated the Olympia stage for the past seven years, tying the Terminator actor and former bodybuilder's seven wins in the same competition in the 1970s. Winning this year will tie Heath with eight time champions Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney, putting him on track to be the record holder if he continues his streak! We’re not sure if the ‘Governator’ will be there to see Heath break their tie, but Schwarzenegger has previously seen first-hand the package the reigning champ brings to the stage; in fact, he personally presented Heath with a first place award at the 2013 Arnold Classic Europe.
2. WILL DWAYNE "THE ROCK" JOHNSON MAKE AN APPEARANCE THIS YEAR?
His Instagram says it all, The Rock loves his fitness! The Jumanji actor and former professional wrestler has made a splash on the Olympia stage the past few years making surprise appearances and also crowning the winner of last year's competition. Will he make an appearance this year?
3. THE INTRODUCTION OF THE PEOPLE'S CHAMP

For the first time in the event’s history, fans will cast one of the votes to select the winner of the 2018 Mr. Olympia. Ticket holders for the judging round on Friday, September 14, and the finals on Saturday, September 15, will receive a special code with which they can evaluate each competitor and cast their vote on their phones. The fan votes will be collectively counted as one vote, joining the votes of the judges on the panel. In the event the athlete earning the fan vote does not win the title, that competitor will be crowned the 2018 People’s Champion. Who will earn the first-ever People’s Champ award?
4. THE FEMALE COMPETITORS!
The Olympia isn't all about the men. The lovely ladies of the Olympia are the very best in the world at bringing a combination of strength, sexiness, beauty, and muscle to the stage. With four-time Fitness Olympia champ Oksana Grishina retired, a new Fitness Olympia athlete will capture the title. The Bikini and Figure titles are also on the line!
