The World's First Bodybuilding Competition.
The world's first bodybuilding competition called "The Great Show" was held in 1901 at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Founded in 1891, this competition is entirely the brainchild of Eugene Sandow, who is considered the father of modern bodybuilding. At that time he was extremely popular and in very good shape, but he did not participate in this competition due to the organization of the competition.
Here in judging the competition,
- Muscle growth commensurate with height- Muscle uniformity and growth
- Muscle tone and shape
- Healthiness
- Skin condition
Matters have been considered. William L. Murray, who competed in this competition from Nottingham, England, won the competition and won the honor of winning the world's first organized bodybuilding competition.

A great mission was also accomplished to bring forward the player named Charles Atlas, who was very popular at this time. Similarly, he popularized a device called "chest expander". Similarly, by 1920, barbells, dumbbells and other exercise equipment began to be sold.
