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.
