Bodybuilding was once focused on health.

At the turn of the 20th century, “proponents of physical culture were trying to find new ways to promote healthy lifestyles... Tired of the overweight strongman image with its lack of emphasis on correct eating and high body-fat levels, they were looking for a representative who could promote the chiseled physique, and the subsequent ways of achieving this look.”

From 1890-1930, the sports of powerlifting, bodybuilding, and olympic weightlifting broke off from strongman. At the time, bodybuilding was considered the “crossfit” of its day, using contrarian training methods made famous by Eugene Sandow (father of bodybuilding). Even at bodybuilding competitions, wrestling and gymnastic athletes would put on displays of “health and fitness” by competing in the same venue as the bodybuilders. The focus was on health.

It wasn’t until the mirrors got installed that bodybuilding turned away from health and on to mass-at-all-costs.
