In the era of the "golden age" of bodybuilding, people were fascinated by how men can develop their muscles in a way that makes people want to start. the bodybuilding themselves. Take a look at Eugen Sandow, the "father" of bodybuilding. He had a lean, muscular, ripped physique with crazy abdominal muscles. Then came other bodybuilding icons such as Steve Reeves, Reg Park and many other famous athletes. But the real craze for bodybuilding started with Arnold Schwarzenegger, after his appearance in the bodybuilding film "Pumping Iron". Widely regarded as the greatest bodybuilder of all time, he made bodybuilding and himself a household name. From that moment on, people opened many gymnasiums everywhere to start bodybuilding, whether to become professional or simply to develop their muscles. The directors recruited bodybuilders like Arnold to star in their films. For a long time, the era of bodybuilding has spread around the world.
But what went wrong? How did this era slowly disappear? It’s simple. People started to get "too fat, too muscular", which made people believe that it looked impulsive, bossy, and all in all, disgusting. Bodybuilders today want to be bigger and more muscular than their opponents. Bodybuilders like Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman are prime examples of people who are "over the top" in muscle growth and development. What really ended this era was the movie "Fight Club" with Brad Pitt, where the lean, muscular body was presented, and people realized that you don't need to tall, you just need to get skinny. My opinion is that men have become "feminized", which means that they want a body that will look more attractive to a woman and that people are starting to model themselves as women, which is easy to understand why men wear today pink t-shirts or shirts that say "Real" men wear pink ". This is nonsense!
Let's talk for a moment about Arnold. Why do you think he was considered the best bodybuilder? Is it because he had the biggest muscles? Or that he had a confident presence when he went on the bodybuilding scene? Maybe he could have given you the best advice for building your muscles? It was one of those three reasons. In the movie "Pumping Iron", Arnold talked about having the perfect physique. He said, "You have to get the right proportions. If you look in the mirror and say" Okay, I need a little more deltoids. So you went to the gym and put on these deltoids. Where, as an artist, just hitting the brush on a photo is done. We have to do it the hard way because we are building the human body. Now, some people will look at you like you're doing something strange, but it's not really something a lot of people know about. And once you have discovered it, you know so much about bodybuilding that you have not yet realized. "
You see? Arnold had the perfect proportional body, and bodybuilding enthusiasts knew it. It differs a lot from the bodybuilders of today, who build their bodies out of proportion. How can you make a difference in building muscle? Get the right proportions. Let each muscle be fair, no smaller or larger than it should be. I hope you enjoyed this article and that you will get the most out of building muscle.
