trovo interessanti questi due punti in particolare:
1)Sandow made it clear from the beginning that prizes would not necessarily be awarded to men who had huge physiques. He was looking for symmetrical, even development, and to press home that point he published a list of qualities that would be taken into consideration when the winners were chosen. First, there was general development; second, equality or balance of development; third, the condition and tone of the tissues; fourth, the general health; and fifth, the condition of the skin.
2)There is an interesting postscript concerning the solid gold statuette that was awarded to William Murray. Not only was Steve Reeves presented with the same type in 1950, but in 1978 Joe Weider commissioned a West Coast artist to "muscle up" the original Sandow statue, giving it a present-day physique. It was this version that Arnold Schwarzenegger used to present to winners of the Mr. Olympia contest during his tenure as director.
