Golden Age of Iron Men - Eugen Sandow


I highly encourage everyone to take a moment and browse The Sandow Plus Website - a site dedicated to the late Eugen Sandow (1986-1925), "The Father of Modern Bodybuilding." Sandow's time was long before the drug-imbued mess that pro bodybuilding has evolved into today. Unlike the trend of recent times, Sandow did not just look strong - he WAS strong.

Also on The Sandow Plus Website, there is information on other incredibly strong men who lived around the Sandow era.

From Sandow Plus: "Full reproductions of Sandow's Books. Articles about him and a comprehensive album of his most famous photographs. Important Bodybuilding books written before,during and after the Sandow era. Some of the leading Bodybuilding, Strength and Health books and courses that followed from the 1900s through to the 1950s and later. Plus much, much more."

Enjoy the history.
