	Eugen Sandow St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
		Sandow traveled Europe as an acrobat, artist's model, and wrestler, before achieving prominence in England as a strongman/physique artist in the latter stages of the nineteenth century.
		While Eugen Sandow's stage act consisted of the standard weightlifting feats of the era's strongmen, he achieved his greatest recognition for artistic physique posing, in which he displayed hitherto unseen muscular definition and vascularity.
		After a parade of athletes, marching to a musical composition written by Sandow, a performance by a boys' choir, wrestling, gymnastics, fencing, exercise displays, and an exhibition by the premier bodybuilder himself, bronze, silver, and gold statuettes of Sandow were given to those judged to have the three best physiques.

	Definition and history
		The first famous bodybuilder, Eugen Sandow (born Friedrich Müller in 1867), got his start under the employ of Oscard Attila (born Louis Durlacher in 1844), who had converted his music-hall act into a career as a professional strongman.
		Taking Sandow under his wing, Attila taught his protégé how to transform his gymnast's build into a bodybuilder's physique.
		(Sandow had what is now termed "good genetics''--a physiology ideal for building muscles.) Attending Attila's training school in Brussels, Sandow used a shot-loading barbell (one with globes at each end that could be filled with shot or sand at various weights), the forerunner of the plate-loading barbell.
