Eugene Sandow probably the worlds first bodybuilder. (April 2, 1867 – 1925), born Friedrich Wilhelm Müller, was a Prussian bodybuilder often referred to as the "Father of Modern Bodybuilding".His audience was more fascinated by his bulging muscles than by the amount of weight he was lifting, so Sandow performed poses which he dubbed "muscle display performances"... and the legendary strongman added these displays in addition to his feats of strength with weights. He also added chain breaking around-the-chest and other amazing displays to his routine.
