I thought the founder of modern body building was Eugen Sandow?

Sandow is on the Olympia trophy. I doubt you could call the turn of the century modern bodybuilding.

Side note: There is a good website if you like to check out the old time bodybuilding (physical culture) books.

Charles Atlas meets Sandow & Weider...

Later Charles shows who is the real man!

Can't be forgetting about Charles Atlas!
