I have been searching for this piece of information for ages.
When was body building invented and who inventeddiscovered it.
This is the most important video on your channel ever.
But question remains, if Eugene Sandal was the Big Rami of his age, does this mean that people in ancient times or Middle ages were that little ?

Wow, knew Sandow but didn't know he held the first bodybuilding competition of such magnitude! Perhaps, the sport would have been bigger if his competition continued.

The bodybuilding champ, the best sample Sandow could find from all those towns, looked like an average kinda lean, narrow-shoulder guy who goes to the gym sometimes today. Am I missing something??? I bet every one of those towns had at least a steel foundry worker or miner or construction worker who worked 10hrs a day, ate a lot of meat, had good genetics that would make the champ look like a little boy.

Nowadays bodybuilders' skin are full of acne scars and they clearly aren't healthy 😀

I wish I could go back to that era, but with roids and be the only person in the world to have them or know about them. People would be so confused and I would be considered some demi god 😂

Great video! Very interesting that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a judge. I wonder on what merit.

I don’t think that he had 41 inch thighs because Tom Platz thighs where 31 inches.

General health was probably like teeth, hair, nails, eyes, how youthful one looks. Stuff like that.

It's often crossed my mind that Lee Labrada may just be Mr. Eugene Sandow reincarnated.

This is a great video. I would like to know where could I find these documents and what it's necessary to have access to the documents. If I would want to write a book about it, as a doctor in humanities, would I be allowed to analyse the documents? There are any book analyzing the history of bodybuilding and the Aesthetics behind it (what it does the physique we agree that is beautiful to be beautiful)?

This video was on point. These historic bodybuilding videos are a real good addition to your channel. Origin stories are always better then news.

I guess general health would go along with conditioning and posing if they held poses well and for good periods of time I would guess any judge would assume they’re healthy jus sayin. Back in these days how well you posed meant something unlike today except for a good few these guys can’t hold a pose more then 5 seconds. I wish BB was still judged like it was in the old days. I don’t understand how you can judge the flow and quality of the muscles if competitors can’t pose worth a shit. Like Sergio jr said at the Arnold BB is missing the classiness and artistic views these days.
