What is Natural Bodybuilding

When bodybuilding is named then many associated it with bad words like steroids, stupidness, narcissistic peoples or unhealthy side even it is one of the popular subject ever. Modern western bodybuilding has it off-spring between 1880-1933(Yearly years) even bodybuilding did not really exist prior to the late 19th century.
Names like Eugen Sandow who the statue of Mr.Olympia is based on is maybe one of the first who was promoting this new weird thing. Back then it was clearly that strong and musclar men was shaped more like  barrels.

16 January 1904, the first large-scale bodybuilding competition in America was held in Madison Square Garden and the winner of that show and took the title "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World" was Al Treloar. He won 1000 dollar in chash, a substantial sum at that time.

In the 1930`s Earle Liederman, Emy Nkemena, George F. Jowett, Finn Hateral (a pioneer in the art of posing), Monte Saldo, Launceston Elliot, Sig Klein, Sgt. Alfred Moss, Joe Nordquist, Lionel Strongfort (Strongfortism), Gustav Fristensky (the Czech champion), Georg Hackenschmidt and others was also early pioneers. Peoples was still taking bodybuilders for wierdness and could not see the art or the performance with it.

But that was going to change a bit when in the 50`s and 60`s names like Steve Reeves and Reg Park was taking the art of bodybuilding to the screen portraying their roles as Hercules. Peoples begin to see what bodybuilding was and with that some of the bad myths was busted. Huge amounts of fans begins to seek answers to how bodybuilders are living and  how body art and performance art could be a healthy thing even promoters was looking down on it, it was not a real sport.

1970 Arnold Swarzenegger won his first Mr.Olympia and with the following docu-drama movie Pumping Iron it went boom. I know steroids was in use by some of the athletes but bodybuilding is and always going to be a specific training method formed in those early years. Drugs can have a role beside it like it can be in every sports today there for those illegal supplements are something you can make a glass of water unclean.

Natural bodybuilding is a healthy art of change and movements. Today we know so much more about drugs and the bad effects it can have on athletes and also it is unfare to use it when competing in most sports. IOC has condemed all use of those drugs performance supplements.

Natural bodybuilding has many healthy benefits that can change your life to the better. It should not be your whole life of course but a part of it like your left arm or the right one. You can easy survive without one of those arms but you are and going to be handicapped. Natural bodybuilding can also add functional strengtht to your life.

Males was more musclar before even we live longer today prior to the knowledge of hygiene and nutritions. If you take a time scale and drew a line from the beginning of what we call a civilizations world around 6000 years ago then you will have a very strict line where the body functions was in full use but around from the 1900`s and up we see a change and from the 50`s we see a more drastic change and so the fact that we are born with a strong willed mind and the impact a healthy lifestyle can have on it has no any doubt.

Your skin and vitality will improve a lot, your blood circulations and stamina will also get a great improvment.
And like it was back then bodybuilding was not about be the biggest block around but how great you could be. Remember a 18 inch arms can be more impressive then a 20 inch one.
