The Glory Days of Bodybuilding By Tony Hartmann & Nicholas Kidd
There is a great deal of credibility that would pinpoint the late 1960s into the late 1970s as the glory days of bodybuilding. Actually, bodybuilding started many, many years before. All one has to do is take a look at the old circus and carnival circuit and see how prominently the strongman was presented. From strongmen of yesteryear to the prominent personalities of today, bodybuilding is certainly an important facet of pop culture.
The Pioneers
If there remained a person who was a pioneer, however, it would be Bob Hoffman, who started to promote bodybuilding in the 1930s. Later, the legendary Joe Weider started promoting bodybuilder types and the sport in general with the launch of his own publications, which would bring attention to the sport. Weider would go on to become the promoter of the Mr. Olympia contest that was the premiere bodybuilding contest in the world.
The First True Star
Another person who helped draw attention to the bodybuilding world was Steve Reeves. Reeves had a physique like no one ever had before. He was tapped to play Hercules in two silly Italian films on the strength (pun intended) of Reeves’ look. The films took in $12 Million dollars at the box office.

The Legacy
Granted, the general public felt that was a weird world, but there was curiosity that motivated people to take a curious look at it. Some of those people, particularly young boys, would go on to aspire to become body builders themselves. They wanted large muscles like Arnold’s. This interest in bodybuilding, spawned out of the glory years, has allowed the business to thrive and turn into a multi-million dollar business that is still going strong. This is the true legacy of the era, and it is a legacy that will endure for many years to come.
