Two athlete overlook the arena. They have mighty torso and huge fists. Even the appearance can be said that they are real warriors. On the head of each of them glitters a bronze helmet, the ears for protection against beats are covered with thick bandages. The fighters have no leather boxing gloves, but the hands to the elbows are braided with straps of thick bull leather. On belts - solid nodules and even lead plates. From this strikes become especially dangerous.

The battle could be guided until one of the opponents fall to death or does not recognize himself defeated. Usually the fighters did not retreat each other and did not protect themselves: it was believed that the man was unworn to strike. The defeat in battle was considered a shame. Therefore, Spartans participating in all other competitions never performed in fist battles. It was not always possible to count on victory, and the debt did not allow the Spartan to recognize himself defeated.

For many hours in a row, fighters stood under the scorching sun, exchanging with blows. Each such a blow might dump a bull. But the athletes like petrified, they and appearance do not show that it hurts that the consciousness is about to leave them. Often the victory depended on the cold-blooded and the fighterness of the fighter.

Almost no fisting battle in Olympia E has been concerned. The winners and defeated leaving the arena in bruises and bruises, with rolled jaws and broken ribs.

Here is an epigram dedicated to the famous fisting fighter of that time to the strata:
"Odyssey, when he returned after the twenty-year lack of in Fatherland, was recognized by his dog Argos. You, the strata, after four hours of a fist combat you become unrecognizable not only for dogs, but also for the whole city. And if you thought to look into the mirror, you would cried: "No, I'm not a strata!"

The most famous fisting fighters in antiquity were silica from the city of Croton. Thirteen winners of the Olympic Games came out of this city, located in southern Italy. No wonder they said that the last of the Crottonians equal to the first Among other Greeks.

Especially famous for his power Milon Crotonsky - six-time Olympic winner. He could, for example, take an apple in the palm, and "and one strongman could not open his fingers, despite the fact that he kept the apple so gently that it remained intact. When Milon became on a stone disk, then there was no man who could move it off, although the disk was smeared by oil.

At that time, a custom existed: the winners of the Olympic Games put a statue. They say that when the statue of cute-on Crotonsky was cast out of bronze, the athlete himself took her shoulders, brought to Altis and installed on the pedestal.

With Milon, only one person could argue with force. It was Fessenitsa Polydam. He was also put in the Olympia statue, and his feats were captured on the bas-reliefs.

About the extraordinary power of the polydam heard somehow the Persian king Darius. He sent an embassy to Greece, who ordered to bring a strongman to his palace. Polides came to Asia and there in the eyes of the king one after another won the fistful battle of the three strongest giants from the Darius army.

Famous people took part in contests against and in fist battles ancient Mira - Scientists, writers. More than once won the famous philosopher Plato in the struggle. The great mathematician of antiquity Pythagoras, before being glorified by his famous theorem, received recognition of compatriots for courage and resistance in fist battles.

Spectators who filling the stadium in Olympia, not; Since witnessed interesting spectacles. The struggle and fist fights were replaced by Pankration. So called a fight in which the techniques of struggle and a fist combat were used. In his cruelty, Pankration even exceeded fist fights. The victory in Pankration was considered difficult, but the most honorary. But the athletes who managed to win two victories at once were especially large honors: in a fistboard and in Pankration. There were only a few people for the history of the Olympic Games. Their names were entered into special lists and glorified throughout Greece.

One of the most famous fist fighters was Solot Diagore from Rhodes. In 464, before the new era, he was crowned with an olive wreath of the winner. Three sons and two grandchildren of the diagnostic diagnostic also obscured victories at the Olympic Games.

When Diagore was a deep old man, his sons were again famous for victories in fist battles and Pankration. In the midst of honor, they approached the father, crowned his gray head palm branches and, raising her shoulders, suffered through the crowded crowd.

People shouted enthusiastically:
- Melci, Diagore, die! For you have nothing more to desire, unless in lifetime, ascend to the gods on Olympus.

And the heart of an old athlete could not stand: Diagore died of happiness.

Ancient rock paint images, ancient Greek statues, books and many other sources of information. All this, tells us that the concept of physical culture existed at the dawn of civilization. AND the stories of physical culture, her Development, exist for a long time.

Athletes of ancient Greece

Athlete named Theogan, who lived in the third century BC nine summer child, Moved to a large distance, a bronze statue.

Mylon from Croton increased strength and weight by gradually increase the load. I took a calf and went with him on the ring olympic Stadium. Over the years, the bull has grown proportionally the power of Milon. Write that on olympic Games, in the struggle, Milon was not equal.

Someone bibon in Olympia, raised the stone weighing 143 kg with one hand. This stone was found in the excavations of the Olympia. This information was knocked out a stone, . So the history of physical culture at the turn of the centuries began.

Power of Middle Ages

In 1741, Englishman Thomas Topheng, raised three large pods with water.The total weight of which was equal to 816 kg. He did itusing belts deployed over the shoulders ,.

The most famous in the 19th century Silal, to the anadec Louis Sir. Louis at its own weight in 136 kg and at the age of 23, was a record holder. Rods with one hand - 124 kg. Dead thrust - 860 kg. Traction with one hand - 447 kg. Deadlift One finger - 247 kg. Rimming weight - 1959 kg. Several of his records, remained not beaten to this day. It is clear, too, they are not ordinary.

Gilman Low in 1903 raised the load on the back weighing 453 kg 1006 times. FROM Belts, in 34.5 minutes.

In those times, power numbers, as well as the struggle, were circus numbers. Siliacs fought in a circus on the public. An example of great strength and wrestling equipment was Pole.

History of physical culture in the XX century

At the beginning of the 20th century, circus athletes go different ways. For some power athletics, just raising heavy weight. For others, building beautiful figure. Puzzled silica, few people are interested. In those days, there were many athletes with excellent muscles. Evgeny Sandov becomes the most famous (Eugene Sandou). Sandov developed a system that helped proportionally to develop the muscles of the whole body. I do not know, the first he was in this matter or not. But, on a statuette to be awarded the winners of the tournament "Mr. Olympia", is also depicted by the Sandov.

Thanks to him, the world found out that such a gradual increase in the load and repetitions in lifting weights. The system assumed one approach and did not give a full-fledged load.

In 1907, Theodore Ziebert, improved the system. Suppose that, three workouts a week, with two approaches in the exercise, will help you get the result.

So ... slowly and gradually, the system acquired, the outlines of the modern power training. And the history of physical culture acquired a new direction - bodybuilding.

First professional bodybuilders

In 1903, in New York to Madion Square Garden, a competition "The most advanced man in the world" was held, the winner was once an assistant Sandou, as a result he became a celebrity. Conducted competition, athlete and promoter Bernard "Badi Love" McFaud. Then representatives participated in competitions different species Sports.

In 1940, the world finds out about, the athlete whose body has become a benchmark and evidence that it can give a person power training, And specifically, bodybuilding. John used the potential given to him by nature. Became the legend of bodybuilding, won such titles as Mr. America, Mr. Peace and Mr. Universe.

In 1945, a new champion appears in Bodybuilding. In post-war America becomes the ideal of a man. Returning from the war, he personified the courage and courage. Champion with stunning physique.

In 1947, Steve Rivz sweeps all of their competitors. Titles in bodybuilding, they are submitted one after another. "Mr. West Coast" 1946, Mr. America 1947-1948, Mr. World 1948, Mr. Universe 1950. In the future, becomes a famous film actor. His most famous film "Feats Hercules" is 1957. Steve Rivz was awarded the title of "Best Bodybuilder of All Times and Peoples" - deservedly.

Dawn of American bodybuilding

IFBB organizes its federation, so the bodybuilding industry began to gain no comic turnover in the United States. In England, the most famous Federation, Nabba operated. Under her auspices, a tournament was held "Mr. Universe." Real, not Vaderovsky, as many people think.

In Santa Monica, bodybuilder Joe Gold opens its first Golds Gym room. The beach itself, where bodybuilders were going from all over the world, called the "Muscov Beach". Joe Gold, did not occupy prizes, being in old age, a good physical form.

Every week there were contests on the beach and indicative speeches bodybuilders, gymnasts, powerlifters, etc. Beauty contests also passed. All this was very cool. Sun, beach, sea, natural tan, clothing appropriate atmosphere.

Bodybuilding: Rotate not there

The history of physical culture began beautifully. In the process of its development, he was constantly changing and transformed. Many branches appeared, physical culture - this is a comprehensive generalized name of various kinds physical activity. We looked at it as a way to achieve an ideal physical form. At the end of the 20th century, perfect physical form, ceased to be considered as a set of factors. Among which, power health, beauty, dexterity, flexibility. All this gone, new muscle extension methods appeared. Physical educationTransformed into modern bodybuilding. This type of physical activity has become an industry, is bad or good, I do not solve me.

Bodybuilding passed a long way, from the desire of people to be beautiful, strong and healthy, gradually transforming into the race for the mass. Last, removed this sport from ordinary people. Modern "Mr. Olympia" is very far from the speeches of the athletes on the "Muscov Beach" 40-50. Today, try to return at least some kind of human face bodybuilding. Invent different categories, from Mens Physicist to "Classic Bodybuilding".

I wanted to describe the path that bodybuilding committed as the idea of \u200b\u200ba beautiful, harmonious, healthy and strong body. At first, health was removed from it, then the proportions, then beauty disappeared. The life of a shimirious mass remained ... and then not everyone.

HISTORY

The date of birth of Russian college, according to tradition, is considered to be August 10, 1885. On this day, a circle of athletics amateurs has its existence. It was created at Vladislav Vladislav Frantsevich Karavsky (whom will be called "fatherlythlete in Russia later). Kraevsky saw a remedy from all heaves in classes with gravity. He filled the apartment with garbage and rods, equipped bars and koltsadl training. On opening day Mug power exercises By raising, the Circus Salah from Berlin Charles Ernst.

There were so many wishing to engage in the apartment "in the apartment" that soon she stopped accommodating everyone. Simply could train up to 50-70 people. In 1897 in St. Petersburg, a group of professional athletes, at the means of grapheargia Ribopier, opens the St. Petersburg athletic society. Then the vigorous athletics championship in Russia are boiled. Peterburgergvido Meyer wins: he squeezes the weight of 115 kg over his head, and then one hand - 100 kg. And after a few months, this record will repeat the young Slaya Georggackenshmidt, and behind him - a whole Pleiad of the athletes, who, having heard about the athletics of Ikraevsky, go to try their strength to Petersburg.

Tricks Silav

The habitat of the stronghold traditional Circus. Spectators surprised unprecedented numbers.

The power numbers were alternating a collection. Ivan Zaicin converged with Ivan's poddubnyh 15 times: on the championship of the world Wparge, they fought 66 minutes without a break. 10 Fight Zaicin lost. Fifty-legged draw in a draw - for other wrestlers who have had a podbutny side, it was an equally miracle.

Training silver

The Book "Heavy Athletics" of 1916, written by an athlete Ivan Lebedev (he is the legendary strongman "Uncle Vanya"), gives such recommendations for training.

It is necessary to start the morning with leggamnastics - running in place (3-5 minutes), stretching rubber (this was a lucid analog of our expander) - 10 minutes, light classes Dumbbells -10 minutes. Then - a walk for 1-2 hours, and sometimes from the step you need to move the raid. In the afternoon - classes on rings or bars (if there is no BRUSEV, the author advise two stools and pushing themselves to them). In the evening - heavy training with weights, one hour. Giri Weight - Not Maximum: If you can squeeze a maximum of 72 kg, start with 32 kg and increase the weight to 56, writes Lebedev. Make a weightweight weight at each lesson. Slimming the exercises on the days: one day is standing and lying, in the other - shocks and jerks. Add to each training recruitment and bending to biceps.

Of course, for such an athlete regime to be free all day, summarizes the author.

The "Hercules" magazine №14 1915 produced about the training of Georg Gakkenshmidt, who became a prototype of future Cultural studists. Gakkenshmidt or "Gakk" generally avoided the light dumbbells, and basicly gave squats with a barbell.

The collapsible bar, which we mean today already existed, but the racks for the squat have not yet invented. Therefore, the trunks were put up vertically, the athlete sat down under it, put the neck on the shoulders at least then got up to the position for the squat. For the same scheme, he filmed a bar.

Power Soluba

Ivan Lebedev advises Presentation of meat: "It contributes to your body of grinding decomposition." Earlier recommends there are more eggs and drink more warm milk with sugar. "Drink alcoholic drinks and smoke is completely incompatible. Sleep - 7-8 hours. Dress, not rushing and wearing warm clothes. "

Dr. Kraevsky, who took the pressure of the young George Gakkenshmidta, on the contrary, fed it with meat broth in large quantities. Tarelkubulon, writes the magazine "Hercules", cooked out of 6-7 pounds of meat (about 3-3.5 kg). On broth together with the basic power training "Gakk" literally for three months in the chest on 12 centimeters and his appearance began to resemble the Farnesian statuerkullace, adds the publication.

Petersburger Viktor Blud - the creator of the show "Silita of the old school", which produces the tricks of the athletes of Tsarist Russia and complements them with new ones.

The opposite works of these athletes of the old school lie heavy basic exercises. Replay them really, the desire to work is important, "says the forbers, who will join the speeches, burns the nails, breaks the book and raises the brightness of people.

Several years ago, during the show, it cut a hand when I brought a nail of 300 mm, but it did not stop him: the crown trick of Viktor Bludud - to turn from the nail heart and give a visitor to the viewer.

The most complex tricks are those for whom a lot of special inventory needs. Recently, we did the trick of "stretchingmotocycles", and in the future I would like to try to pull the train or the tram, lift the elephant, "says Victor Blud.
