Who created bodybuilding?

[JoS Forum Contributions]

The original gymnasiums going back to the turn of the 20th century when physical culture became popular. The ancient Greeks used something similar to a kettle bell a round stone with an iron handle. Kettle bells build strength better then dumb bells and bar bells.

Body building is not a sport for strength building its a physique sport that exercises are designed to build a specific physique for people to then compete based on. People are confusing this. Body building ends up harming people as the exercises cause damage to the body due to how they work the body.

When physical culture was the thing before body building of today came into being. It actually produced men who had insane levels of strength. I studied the programs of some of these people and its different then today. However they were not huge either and they did all this before drugs. In fact Charles Atlas was interesting he was a strong man who did all kinds of feats of strength and he stated he dropped the conventional weight training that is popular today because it didn't give him any strength. The method he developed is also in the martial art and yoga systems in the east. It actually generates Chi power which is the source of strength. One kundalini yoga master who was some skinny fellow would just pick up five hundred pounds with one hand like it was nothing. He stated this is the power of pranic energy. This relates to the amount of bio electric charge or Chi in the body and how it governs the level of muscle contraction that is required for such things I suspect.

The original gyms in the images of them only had gymnastic equipment and some kettle bells. Gymnastics' such as training on rings is some of the hardest exercises and they build strength and physique.

Original gyms?
It seems in ancient times, like in Greece, along with body weight and similar movements, they used a variety of resistance methods as well. Like use of stones, logs and other accessible items.

I think, when maximizing strength and conditioning, you’ll need a variety of resistance training exercises at some point. To an extent.

That is a common misconception: that weight training goes beyond what bodyweight training can achieve. In reality, both weight training and bodyweight training have their limits because we're human beings. In bodyweight training, infinite progressions can be created by working with leverage and other parameters. You could progress infinitely if the human body could afford that but in truth the limit in strength can only be overcome with mastery over chi control and thus there would be no extra physical benefit (in physical strength gain or muscle gain) once you reach your natural physical limit. Bodyweight training is less linear than just adding weight like in bodybuilding and weight lifting but that the lack of linearity doesn't make it inferior in improvement and potential.

Do you have a source that you would recommend for strength training in terms of spiritual development? I have done everything (almost) in the realm of physical culture, good, bad and in between.

Hatha Yoga is the system for working with this.

Would there be a reliable source, a video that shows instruction? I found the images on JOS to be not entirely adequate

The whole internet, yoga's been mainstream for decades at this point.

the perfect and healthy body appearance should look like GREEK GODS

Some are going to argue and tell you that those statues represent the bodybuilding physique, when all evidence points away from it, including the fact that bodybuilding didn't exist when Ancient Greek statues were molded.

I agree the freaks look nasty but uhh body building was in greece for a long time. They lifted boulders and such. The statues were modeled after real people.
