The Complete History Of Bodybuilding

[@marxmaxmuscle1]

It is worth to mention I left the female side of bodybuilding out of this video BECAUSE I plan on doing a ''History Of Female Bodybuilding" video in the future. Also with so many years to cover in this video, many names were left out.

[@thisisjustmebodybuilding6043]

that's gonna be great! just to let you know, i'll be very happy to watch it when it comes out 🙂🌈.

[@Jack-ld4ys]

Looking forward to the female bodybuilding video! I appreciate that you cover the female competitors as well as the men unlike most other bodybuilding channels

[@yoshiike1]

This will have amazing rewatch value throughout the years as it pops back up in people's lists. Very awesome video thank you so much for your time.

[@calebcarroll838]

Can you do Derek Lunsford vs lee-priest when he was close to the 212 weight

[@proudmen1220]

Good job Marx. Thank you.

[@jackfrostie4895]

George Hackenschmidt 8:47 most likely some of the greatest genetics in history dude was 5’9 and almost 220 without any supplements or gear now that’s a fucking beast

[@marxmaxmuscle1]

great genetics for sure, but he also invented the Hack squat, and even the bench press, so his training was also top notch.

[@davidchu2001]

great job marx, this absolutely deserve more view

[@NelsonMontana1234]

I was at the 69 Olympia. It's indescribable what it like seeing Sergio in person. It was like seeing something from another planet.

[@alexbrookner5331]

I literally can’t wait for this. My life is so sad at the moment that this is the only thin* I have to look forward to. Thanks Marx max

[@Stokurev_]

Hope everything gets better for you

[@CypressItalian]

Things will get better, Alex. I wish you health and happiness.

[@ovathere93]

Hang in there

[@hanhuang7457]

God bless you

[@amahmood7897]

Hang in there, things will get better!!!

[@jamesdavey8675]

I'm so excited for this

[@jeffreyJavs304]

Excited for this man, awesome content

[@SeanScorpion]

Amazing research, especially for the pre 1930s guys. This will be an evergreen video and I get why you didn't use your usual lingo e.g. "peeled" and "too smooth". Keep up the good work.

[@KCDarin]

Goes tooooo.... Shiny Shoulders!! Sorry Marx.. I had to do it. You should see some stills I have from that skit where Bob Chic is shaking like he's cold. Bob is really funny if you listen to some of the stuff he says. I bought the 2012 Olympia a couple of weeks ago & he was cracking me up. I remember the quality being really good & Ollie with GMV is usually excellent at mastering the videos. He missed the mark with the 2012 Olympia. The 202 guys looked good but the open guys looked like one of those screens at shows. I made some stills of Shawn Rhoden because I bought the 2012 Tampa Pro just to see Shawn about 2 weeks ago. It's by far his best physique ever. It blows away his 2018 physique. The only part a little better in 2018 was his back but not much. Every other body part was more separated & fresh like a 93 wheeler. Aceto brought him in a lot fuller for the 2012 Olympia & he was neat perfection at Tampa. He looked bigger even though I know he didn't weigh more. I'll DM you those stills. His side tricep used to be amazing, even hitting it the correct way. In fact.. I'll send some real quick...then come back & finish this. I bet this was a ton of work

[@zhazhae5513]

Hey man, why do you not continue posting more footages? love your channel man.

[@KCDarin]

@@zhazhae5513 Thx Man.. I really enjoy doing it but it's been a matter of time. I'm recording an album & some other projects. I do have one video I have had that's been done for 8 months so I need to at least put that one out & maybe try to put one out every couple of months. I love talking bodybuilding & I've got enough good music for 2 albums so I appreciate the comment & I'll get that one that's done out soon. It's the 30 second intro I'm not happy with is why I haven't. The one I have done is about a bodybuilder who has a ton of potential & no one even knows about him. He is a black guy with very thin skin & huge calves which are traits that are more rare for black bber's. He has the bubbly, round muscle bellies though; so I wouldn't doubt if he has that Miostatin Mutation. He is super striated everywhere too although you can tell he's not super dry. Tons of potential & he's a big guy like Samson. I"ll give the name when I put it out. It's really good footage.

[@zhazhae5513]

@@KCDarin Yeah, I look at the german grand prix 94 footage with your song. It's sick man and very fitting to the footage. I would love to see more songs with other footage.

[@philcartier994]

Absolutely brilliant! This deserves an Academy Award. Great job MMM!

[@lou_fitworld]

Thank you to you ! For doing an amazing historical video 👌

[@dalewilson9602]

This should be a classic 💪

[@abdulraafay4403]

Quality content by MMM.. need more videos like this where u talk about guys who revolutionized this sport in different aspects be it Posing, Training Style or Inventing New Exercises etc

[@kaleandoscope]

You have no idea how hyped I was for this video, gonna be watching it as I have my dinner!

[@somekindaguy100]

Been following bodybuilding since 1988 and this is one of if not the best videos on the history that I have watched.Great work and thank you

[@Supersetman]

This will be good

Max the Sandow trophy that Steve won in 1950 was the actual third place trophy from the Great Contest in 1901. The NABBA organisers had procured it and decided to award it to the winner of the Mr. universe contest, believing it would add prestige to the contest. They presumed Reg Park would win as he was favourite to do so. This would mean that the trophy would stay in England. However that was not to be, Steve won and much to their dismay took the trophy to the US. The Sandow trophy would disappear until 1977 when Frank Zane won the first of his Olympias. Then it would resurface as the Olympia winner trophy and remain so to this day. I have written extensively on much of what you’ve covered in this video. By the way Bernard McFadden changed his name to Bernarr. Believing it gave him more gravitas.

[@theanabolicchicken1241]

Wow, what an amazing video! So much info pre-1970's I never knew about.

[@walizaman4036]

this is the best bodybuilding video ive ever seen! thanks marx!!!!

[@myflesh10]

Awesome vid Mark!!!! Learned a lot

[@marcoscabo9784]

Excelent video! Worth every second spent.

[@JackTse]

will watch later. liking and commenting first to help the algorithm award a youtuber who took the time to make this type of video

[@DeadMouse32]

Love your channel man

[@excuseme9139]

Grimek is in my mind the APEX. So thick, dense, powerful, yet graceful, and largely natural. Amazing.

[@Suba932]

That was awesome! Great work

I like that max takes all the stupid shit and vitriol and just sticks to bodybuilding I love it

thank you for mentioning that. I like to keep things positive here at MMM

Excellent

[@danlee9109]

Thankyou for the video! Great work! I don't say it enough to all your video's!

[@joziv]

Excited to watch this when i get the time man, looks really interesting

[@tomjjackson21]

You should do a review of the hawtest bodybuilding g-strings over the years, lol! C'mon guy's, that'd the be greatest video this man has ever produced. We desire a discussion on cut, volume, and sparkle, lol.

[@quantumpotential7639]

Marx Max Muscle is a respectable channel, not a hub for your horn pub. Thanks

[@marxmaxmuscle1]

Actually sparkle was used in the 50's. it stopped in the 70s for some reason. Bill pearl had some excellent blue sparkle trunks.

[@quantumpotential7639]

I didn't know about this sparkle. This is why Marx Max Muscle is the expert and not me. Okay, if Marx Max Muscle enjoys sparkley G strings, maybe it's a good idea to do this theme for a show then so all can enjoy. Maybe I missed something. It could be a top segment.

[@CiroMastino]

Excellent video

[@ravsinghrajput2105]

This should be a perfect documentary for all the bodybuilders, so to speak... ...what a research, what a thought 💭

[@goatfitness]

this should be a bedtime story for kids

[@scottbaker7104]

Arnold is what brought bodybuilders into the mainstream because his body and personality

[@d.b.794]

Thanx for the Legends 💪

[@yellowgut]

Damn, this is a great video.

[@mikthe2004]

The photo at 16:47 of Sergio, is not one I've seen before - but what a photo!! Sergio was the most genetically gifted bodybuilder in history. Perfect structure with wide shoulders and narrow hips, and every muscle group - even calves - was long and full!! The early history part was good, but then it all became about the Mr Olympia - so I'd hardly call it "The Complete History!!" of bodybuilding. But, good job anyway!!

[@marxmaxmuscle1]

Yes Sergio was top shelf. I plan on doing a history of Nabba Universe at some point as well as Masters Class and 212. Female history will be out eventually also.

[@noahvandenbroek4574]

Good vid brother

[@atomtension5645]

Marx ! You should make a ''History of the NABBA Mr. Universe''. This was a GREAT video, but it was mainly Olympia in the modern era...how about the Universe ? Thanks !

[@ForgottenFitness]

I absolutely loved this video! Thank you for producing it! A wonderful overview!

[@quantumpotential7639]

We need to revolutionize the Flex Display Performances industry.

[@sourabhsanjay8332]

Please keep going with that Arnold Schwarzenegger mimicry.. btw loved the content.. lot of efforts.. thanks 🙏😊

[@richardk6238]

Really enjoyed the longer format, definitely interested in a Women's history too

[@marxmaxmuscle1]

there is so much female history in this game, they deserve an entire video.

[@padraigdoyle9262]

Them earlier physiques are fantastic when you think of the fact they had no gear, no real knowledge on nutrition or training techniques

[@nicklol328]

50s physique started using gear as CIBA devolved dianabol in 58’

[@dariuswilliams7509]

Silver era bodybuilding is goals

[@cliffhughes6010]

The man standing next to Sandow at the first bodybuilding contest is Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes.

[@IronViking_931]

@7:49, to clarify, that is actually Albert. Regardless, fantastic job!

[@IronViking_931]

Jack Lallane vs Jack Delinger vs Armand Tany vs George Eiferman Or any combination of these guys!

[@quantumpotential7639]

Charles Atlas was one of the pioneers masters of the direct response marketing industry. He understood mail order, copy writing, and consumer psychogy better than anyone, whom Joe Weider would model his business after. He was a student of Edward Bernays, the god father of propaganda and human persuasion. Hey Skinny! Lol 💪🇺🇸🏋️🙏

[@jessfrankel5212]

Interesting note. William Murray fought in WWI, got gassed, but survived and died a number of years later. He used his win to promote his own bodybuilding shows prior to the First World War, and then he promoted shows after the war had ended. Sigmund Klein--OP pronounced it "clean." (Should be pronounced like 'kline').

[@marxmaxmuscle1]

Nice bonus info here. Also it was atilas daughter not his sister that Klein married so my bad.

[@bambostarla6259]

I wish there would be a division that would be inspired by classical and neoclassical statues.... would be an interesting concept to put into practise. Natural mass with a thick waste.

[@ChrisYoutubization]

Fantastic and informative video Marx Max

Hackenshmit was a beast! Superior genetics?

[@marxmaxmuscle1]

i would have to say more about training. the guy invented the hack squat and the bench press. Of course his genetics were good as well

[@OTM-101]

Awesome Video Marx Max Muscle keep them coming thank you for sharing

[@martindavis6472]

Thanks!

[@stephenr80]

How did Ramy get so dark?

[@HugeGamma]

good job.. impressive work here.. but focus was more on "Olympia" while could have touched on some other big shows over the last few decades

[@marxmaxmuscle1]

actually had to cut out a lot from this video. wanted to keep it under an hour. by 1992 there was 80 contests!

[@HugeGamma]

@@marxmaxmuscle1 if you ever wanted to do a Part 2.. would be interesting to hear how judging has changed and contest format.. a good series here

[@Pablo-sr2zx]

Absolutely brilliant information that you've just posted here and things that I didn't know so for that I say thank you very much much appreciated bro 💪🏋️‍♂️🏅 And I think what the IFBB did to Sergio Olivia was terrible they just screwed him over which was disgraceful and no wonder he ended up hating the IFBB and rightfully so

[@MeesterJ]

That dude who married Atilla's sister, wasnt he way younger than her? I'm guessing Atilla was already a senior in the 1920's

[@uniqueescape4098]

Back then siblings could be quite far apart in age. Or maybe he liked older women

[@marxmaxmuscle1]

It was actually Attilas daughter. That was a huge mistake by my part.

Great history ..Thank you for sharing.. I believe Serge Nubret did not compete in the 1974 Mr. Olympia.

[@antonhallergren588]

Very good video and rest in peace Mr Olympia champ Shawn rhoden. Also what a shame the Arnold dropped women's physique this year I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter as you aren't a blatant hater of the female bodybuilding divisions like so many who only want to see the high heels divisions.

[@joelarmour]

Who do you have; Big Ramy vs Derek Lunsford?

[@FacelessOfficial1]

how much research did that take dude?

[@FacelessOfficial1]

could literally name this "From the pre-history of bodybuilding until the modern times"

[@johnblanchette2202]

Hey brother. Who was no.24 on this years stage. Look at his calf's. Need mention. Best on stage of week calf's

I think the most complete bodybuilder of all time was prime Phil Heath.

Bodybuilding is not a sport. More a pageant. Its current state is in dire straits as the use of Ped's has got out of hand. We need to go back to a purer version.
