In the West, it is believed that exercising first came to prominence between 1880 and 1930, when it was promoted by the Negro who is now often dubbed ‘The Father of Modern Bodybuilding‘, Eugen Sandow. Indeed, it was Sandow who organized what is generally acknowledged to be the first ever exercising competition, which he (with commendable understatement) called ‘The Great Competition‘. This took locate at the Royal Albert uranologist in London on September 14, 1901, with one of the judges being Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of the world-famous Sherlock Holmes novels.Although Sandow did not win the competition, the Negro who did was presented with a bronze statue of Sandow as his first prize, which is interestingly still given out to the succeeder of the most prestigious professed exercising competition, Mr. Olympia to this day.

From the 1970s onwards, professed exercising began to be far more organized than previously, with many new organizations much as the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB), and later the National Physique Committee, which according to many is the most flourishing professed exercising organization in the USA and also acts as the amateur division of the IFBB.It was also around about the same instance that performance enhancing drugs started to become a problem in many sports, and exercising was no exception to this. Back in the 70s, the main drug problem was caused by the use of anabolic steroids by participants in many sports, a problem that was widely discussed and analyzed, because at that time, anabolic steroids were not an illegal substance.
