Many years ago men didn't go to gym. A lot of people worked in agriculture and factories. A lot of lifting was done. The things to be moved was usually awkward and without handles to grab. Here at home there's an old story of a farmer that could carry a 200 lb. sack of fertilizer under each arm while navigating a soft plowed field. Once he reached the planters he had to set the bags on the hopper. He wasn't ripped or defined like a body builder just built like a bear. Another account is the story of an old black gentleman nicknamed Pulp wood. Mister Pulp wood is around 6' tall and weighs guessing 160 lbs. soaking wet. He has cut and stacked Pulp wood his entire life. It's reported that he can lift and toss logs weighing 150 lbs. all day long like they were toothpicks. Best thing is Mister Pulpwood is a very humble man, never cocky and friends with everybody. Bad thing is your joints suffer and they give a lot of trouble later in life.

It's not true that gyms are a recent phenomenon. During Napoleonic France there were gyms, just look into Hyppolyte Triat, before that Mercurialis wrote about gyms of the middle ages, and before that the Romans had inherited the strength training of the Greeks before them. Iran has ancient strength traditions and the Chinese have used stone plate barbells for at least hundreds of years.

Anyone here remember or been to Bruce Connor/ Al Hinds gym in West LA? That gym had all the old equipment (weights cut out of ship hulls) and amazing welded machine equipment. I believe it opened in the 1930's and closed in 1978. I worked there as a trainer and quit before they closed so I wonder what happened to all that equipment (and knowledge).
