Employment by bodybuilding develop muscular force and endurance, strengthen cardiovascular and other functional systems of an organism. Besides physical, bodybuilding develops also morally-strong-willed qualities. Ability to concentrate, make the maximum effort to come out the winner in struggle with itself for self-improvement.

Interesting certificates are very great, found in ancient Rome where influence of the Greek culture was, already written. Sineka in the beginning of ours chronology in the narration “Hell Luilium Epistulae Morales ” recommends to train with burdenings. In the book of Englishman Thomas Eliot (1531) are available youth recommendations “to work with burdenings from tin, and also to throw heavy stones or poles.” Thomas Tophena’s result was the first power achievement in England (1741) which has raised three big flanks with water is powerful 816 kg by means of the belts thrown through shoulders.

The history of new time knows set of worthy admiration of achievements of athletes. Most of all them has appeared in XIX century. Many then athletes heavy, slow, differed a brute force. Canadian Luis Sir (weight of 136 kg) which in 23 years - in 1886 has won American Richard Pennelom (40 years, 81 kg) was the most well-known athlete of XIX century. Luis Sira consider as the first athlete who began to carry out a press laying on bench. Its best results: a press one hand - 124 kg; two hands - 150 kg; становая draught - 860 kg; camp draught one hand - 447 kg; camp draught one finger - 247 kg; raising weight - 1950 kg (it is considered the highest result in modern history of power exercises). Athletes and in power endurance competed.

Here some fixed achievements: William Kouture at own weight 67,5 kg has squeezed out one hand a bar is powerful 50 kg (1892 years); Henry Sarterial has made 118 presses alternately one hand with a bar it is powerful 33 kg (1897); Dzhilmen Law in 1903 by means of the special device has lifted on a back of 1006 times of 453,6 kg for 34 minutes and 35 seconds. This achievement has been surpassed 1907 Lu Trevisom, which same weight has lifted 1000 times for 9 minutes. On a boundary of XX century rough and shapeless athletes began to get out of fashion.

On change to unsystematic power exercises new kinds of sports began to appear: weightlifting, bodybuilding. Sources of development of a new direction of power exercises had a person as whom today consider as the body building founder is Eugene Sendou. It still belonged to number of athletes of former type, however already underlined value of beautiful addition. Sendou has brought the huge contribution to perfection of a technique of power training, it one of the first has proved necessity of gradual increase in loading increase in weight of shells or escalating of number of repetitions. Its ideas have shown road to experts who have started to improve a technique of exercises with burdenings and shells for their performance. As all exercises were carried out only in one approach, on one training the athlete could execute set of the most different exercises. In 1907 Theodore Siebert has entered two approaches to each exercise, and it has given a huge push to development of power possibilities. Its technique assumed three trainings in a week. In the first week carried out exercises for development of the top part of a body in five repetitions. Every next week the number of repetitions increased by one and so before achievement in each exercise of 10-20 repetitions. After that changed a bar for heavier, and number of repetitions reduced to the initial. The businessman was one of for whom employment by physical training became some kind of religion, - publisher Bernard Makfadden, the person which could exemplify “the fanatic who has gone mad on health”. Makfadden organised variety of competitions in Square Medison Garden on a rank “Men with the most perfect constitution in America”. First such competition passed in 1903, and its winner together with a rank has received a prize - one thousand dollars In 1920 - 1930 of our century became obvious, that between development of physical data and health there is a close interrelation and that exercises with burdenings are the best way to achieve muscles development.

However many sportsmen of that time considered, that employment with burdening cannot give an all-around development, such which was given by employment by various kinds of sports. Meanwhile competitions on the best constitution proceeded. Boxers, swimmers, weight-lifters, representatives of other kinds of sports took part in them. Participants should show the force and dexterity. As the increasing value began to be given to beauty of a constitution, the clear advantage was received by weight-lifters. Exercises with weights changed outlines of a body much more, than any other kind of trainings. In 1940 the first present competitions on bodybuilding have been held. ” The Mr. America “was John Grimek who trained, mainly lifting weights. Grimek has proved a statement inaccuracy, that those who train with burdenings cannot show high sports results. In 1943″ the Mr. America “has won a rank the person as whom many consider as the first present body builder. Klarens Ross it was perfectly looked on any scene and today - wide shoulders, the thin waist, the developed shins and an abdominal tension. By then accurate distinction between a raising of weights only for development of force and training with burdenings for improvement of proportions of a body has been spent.

In 1998 bodybuilding is included in the program of Olympic Games that is one more acknowledgement of its recognition by the sports public of all world.
