The first part of my article titled Historical Origins of Body-Building was published in the latest issue Physical Culture magazine (September / October 2010). The article tells of the pioneers of body-building away from 3600 BC until the early twentieth century, focusing in this episode about the great showdowns of the convicts and the forces of the nineteenth century and the birth of dumbbells and rockers. good read everyone!
