It is believed that bodybuilding originated in Europe. But it became more widespread and introduced “to the masses” in America. Everyone knows that in Russian, literally translated, bodybuilding means “building the body.” So let's find out how this construction happens...
Body-building – is a set of physical exercises that is based on knowledge of physiology, anatomy, rational nutrition, as well as technology and methods of performing exercises with weights. When performing these exercises, various simulators and special equipment are used, such as barbells and dumbbells, weights and expanders, etc.
After conducting many studies and experiments, all these exercises were combined into training complexes that have a uniform effect on the entire system of internal organs of the body, namely on all muscle groups.
Within the framework of these complexes, the number of approaches, load volumes, and the weight of the weights lifted are strictly established.
The exercises are designed for various positions and can be performed lying down, standing, sitting, hanging, on your knees, resulting in a targeted effect on the formation of the athletic proportions of the bodybuilder’s body and strengthening his muscles. The accuracy of the calculations ensures that the negative influence of excessive loads is eliminated.
Body-building – consists not only of a set of exercises with a load, but also develops the human body completely, contributes to successful achievements in other sports.
When engaging in bodybuilding, it is necessary to observe personal hygiene standards, cultivate a healthy lifestyle, carry out restorative actions, and be sure to eat right.
As a result of the constant improvement of sports equipment that took place in the twenties of the last century, for example, barbells with a set of discs, expanders, exercise machines, etc. – the weightlifters were divided into groups, each of which saw its own goal in the training. The first is to systematically improve results in all-around events. The second is the aesthetic modeling of your body, the development of muscle mass, and training a beautiful figure. It was at this time that the famous system was born Eugene Sandow. It is he who is considered to be the ancestor and founder of modern bodybuilding and bodybuilding. He compiled an advanced set of physical exercises with weights, the goal of which was not only the development of strength, but also the proportional development of all muscle groups. Subsequently, one of the many books written by Eugene Sandow became the basis for the development of this culture. It was published in 1930 in London under the simple and laconic title “Bodybuilding”. After which there was an extraordinary flourishing of the “bodybuilding” system.
America also had its heroes, where the spread of this sport is intertwined with the name John Grimek. It was he who became America's first outstanding bodybuilder and was a member of the national weightlifting team for many years. The concept of “bodybuilding” was associated with the name of Grimek until the end of the Second World War. And in the post-war period, this culture is inseparable from the name Steve Reeves.Commercial interest in the topic of bodybuilding is also opening up. In anticipation of good earnings, managers and producers begin to notice outstanding bodybuilders. They are invited to play the roles of strongmen in various films. Interest in bodybuilding lays the foundation for a business. Professional bodybuilders are beginning to gather around them, well-known in the States, and later throughout the world, promoters of this culture, brothers Wider And Bob Goffman. These main competitors establish entire enterprises for the production of equipment and equipment used in bodybuilding, open schools and entire research centers, and print a huge amount of specialized literature, covering many countries. Now on our website you can also familiarize yourself with the methods of training of the Wider brothers.
Over time, the methodology of bodybuilding also changes: if in the era of John Grimek, training consisted of exercises for the whole body with intensity: three times a week, now training takes much more time, perseverance and effort. Numerous specially designed exercises and complexes with weights are aimed at developing each individual muscle. Bodybuilders include in their training a large variety of exercises on strength training complexes. Simple training with large weights no longer allows you to achieve the physique of champions. Only compliance with a certain physical activity and targeted impact on certain muscle groups allows you to successfully “rebuild” your body with the help of simulators.
The most famous representative of bodybuilding among the masses is rightfully considered Arnold Schwarzenegger. On our website in other sections you can learn more about American bodybuilding schools, to which Schwarzenegger made a significant contribution. Post Views: 154
