Here's John Grimek showing his winning form and hardware after taking first in the 1948 Mr. Universe contest (defeating Steve Reeves in the process!) Most bodybuilders are lucky to win one contest in their careers but Grimek finished first in EVERY contest he ever entered. Here's a look at the full list:

1939 - York Perfect Man
1940 - AAU Mr. America
1941 - AAU Mr. America
1946 - Most Muscular Man in America
1948 - NABBA - Mr. Universe
1949 - Mr. USA

After winning the AAU Mr. America contest for the second year in a row, they passed a rule that one could not enter it again once they won - the powers that be figured that if they didn't take this step, Grimek would just keep on winning them.
