History of BodyBuilding

The history of bodybuilding can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome, where physical performance and aesthetics were greatly valued, leading to the creation of gymnasiums. The Bronze Era saw Eugen Sandow, often regarded as the father of bodybuilding, popularizing the sport through public displays and by organizing the first bodybuilding competition in London in 1901.
