Much has been written for popular consumption about the great moments, movements, and motives that have shaped the development of modern weightlifting and bodybuilding, but only since the 1970s has it received the attention and respect of research scholars at institutions of higher learning. The essays in this volume easily fit the time period (1993-2021) when that newly-framed academic genre was coming into fruition. All of them coincide with the physical culture revolution that took place after World War II, leading to a golden age of weightlifting, inspired by the likes of American Olympic champion Tommy Kono, followed by a golden age of bodybuilding epitomized by the inimitable Arnold Schwarzenegger. A common thread running through all these essays is originality, that they reveal or reinterpret information not previously known at the time they were published. They are also extensively documented with largely primary sources. Striking a delicate balance between style and substance, this physical culture reader, though written for a broad audience, addresses many of the critical academic issues confronting weightlifters and bodybuilders who sought to promote themselves and their sport.
