  • 'Freaky:' an Exploration of the Development of Dominant
    From ‘Classical’ To ‘Freaky:’ an Exploration of the Development of Dominant, Organised, Male Bodybuilding Culture Dimitrios Liokaftos Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London Submitted for the Degree of PhD in Sociology February 2012 1 Declaration: The work presented in this thesis is my own. Dimitrios Liokaftos Signed, 2 Abstract Through a combination of historical and empirical research, the present thesis explores the development of dominant, organized bodybuilding culture across three periods: early (1880s-1930s), middle (1940s-1970s), and late (1980s-present). This periodization reflects the different paradigms in bodybuilding that the research identifies and examines at the level of body aesthetic, model of embodied practice, aesthetic of representation, formal spectacle, and prevalent meanings regarding the 'nature' of bodybuilding. Employing organized bodybuilding displays as the axis for the discussion, the project traces the gradual shift from an early bodybuilding model, represented in the ideal of the 'classical,' 'perfect' body, to a late-modern model celebrating the 'freaky,' 'monstrous' body. This development is shown to have entailed changes in notions of the 'good' body, moving from a 'restorative' model of 'all-around' development, health, and moderation whose horizon was a return to an unsurpassable standard of 'normality,' to a technologically-enhanced, performance- driven one where 'perfection' assumes the form of an open-ended project towards the 'impossible.' Central in this process is a shift in male identities, as the appearance of the body turns not only into a legitimate priority for bodybuilding practitioners but also into an instance of sport performance in bodybuilding competition. Equally central, and related to the above, is a shift from a model of amateur competition and non-instrumental practice to one of professional competition and extreme measures in search of the winning edge.

  • The Bodybuilding Truth
    NELSON MONTANA THE BODYBUILDING TRUTH Dear friend and fellow athlete, Think you know about bodybuilding? Think again. If you really knew how to build the ultimate body in less than six months time, would you keep paying for more? More supplements? More personal training? More courses? More magazines? Would you keep spending your money on the deceptions, the product scams, the bogus supplements, and the false muscle building methods that the bodybuilding marketers propagate to line their pockets? The end result. Your bodybuilding progress is held back while the fat cats get rich. What if you knew the truth? What if someone were to blow the whistle on the con artists within the bodybuilding world and at the same time, share with you the secrets for packing on thick, dense muscle - fast! And burning off every last ounce of your bodyfat! Sounds unthinkable right? Well, the unthinkable has just happened. Every week I get at least one proposal from some self-appointed guru wanting us to publish his latest bodybuilding book. I read them, but never publish them, because basically, they're all worthless. However, the latest book by my friend Mr. Nelson Montana, titled The Bodybuilding Truth – Insider Secrets You're Not Supposed to Know, literally blew me away. And it blew away hundreds of ideas that I had accepted as truth for years about the sport of bodybuilding and exposed everything the bodybuilding marketers don't want you to know. Nelson Montana is an in your face kind of guy; he tells it like it is. A bodybuilding industry insider, Montana worked for Testosterone Magazine, but got fired because he refused to write an article touting ZMA, a fancy Zinc supplement, as the latest thing for muscle growth.

  • Attaining Olympus: a Critical Analysis of Performance-Enhancing Drug Law and Policy for the 21St Century
    Franco Book Proof (Do Not Delete) 4/16/19 11:35 PM ATTAINING OLYMPUS: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG LAW AND POLICY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY ALEXANDRA M. FRANCO1 ABSTRACT While high-profile doping scandals in sports always garner attention, the public discussion about the use of performance-enhancing substances ignores the growing social movement towards enhancement outside of sports. This Article discusses the flaws in the ethical origins and justifications for modern anti-doping law and policy. It analyzes the issues in the current regulatory scheme through its application to different sports, such as cycling and bodybuilding. The Article then juxtaposes those issues to general anti-drug law applicable to non-athletes seeking enhancement, such as students and professionals. The Article posits that the current regulatory scheme is harmful not only to athletes but also to people in general—specifically to their psychological well-being—because it derives from a double social morality that simultaneously shuns and encourages the use of performance-enhancing drugs. I. INTRODUCTION “Everybody is going to do what they do.” — Phil Heath, Mr. Olympia champion.2 The relationship between performance-enhancing drugs and American society has been problematic for the past several decades. High- profile doping scandals regularly garner media attention—for example, 1. © Alexandra M. Franco, J.D.

  • The Lastinterview
    THE JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CULTURE December 2000 Volume 6 Number 4 The LastInterview As many IGH readers know, we’ve been working on a book about the cultural significance of Muscle Beach for the past several years. As part of our research for that book, we’ve interviewed many of the “regulars” of Muscle Beach. On 10 June 1999 we visited with Steve Reeves, and as far as we know, this was the last formal interview he ever gave. We met Steve at his horse ranch in southern California and taped him in the living room of his spacious Spanish-style ranchhouse. Present for the interview with us was Steve’s longtime companion, Deborah Englehorn Reeves. Steve was dressed in his work clothes— blue jeans, a short-sleeved work shirt, and a pair of well-worn boots. He was a wonderful host, proudly showing us his beautiful Morgan horses and the stable he had personally designed to house them. The day was warm and he was the picture of vigorous health—lean yet thick, with a youthful stride, that legendary face, a pair of hands and forearms that bespoke a lifetime of hard work, and the relaxed attitude of a man at peace with himself. —Jan and Terry Todd TT: Yesterday, when I spoke to Armand Tanny, he told me that he remembers very fondly the days you guys spent down there at Muscle Beach and he said he has a pretty clear memory of the first time he ever saw you. He knew who you were. Maybe he’d seen a photograph of you when you were still a teenager and so when he saw you come to the Beach that first time, he recognized who you were.

  • Sporting Legends: Reg Park
    SPORTING LEGENDS: REG PARK SPORT: BODYBUILDING COMPETITIVE ERA: 1983 - 1999 Reg Park, (7 June 1928 - 22 November 2007) in Yorkshire, England, was a bodybuilder, businessman, and film actor. Park won the 1949 Mr. Britain, and then subsequently spent six months in the United States. There, he met up with Joe Weider who began to feature the Englishman prominently in his magazines. Park was runner-up to Steve Reeves in the 1950 NABBA Amateur Mr. Universe and then broke what had been an American monopoly on bodybuilding titles by winning the 1951 NABBA Amateur Mr. Universe. He went on to win the 1958 and 1965 NABBA Pro Mr. Universe titles. Massively built, standing 6' 2" and with a top weight of 225 lbs., Park was also renowned for his strength, which he often demonstrated in public performances. He was an early influence and mentor for champion bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. As an actor, Park made only five films - all Italian sword and sandal - but he remains a favourite among fans of the genre. SPORTING LEGENDS: REG PARK Reg Park had one of the greatest physiques of his generation. Up to the time of his illness in 2007, despite being in his seventies, Park continued to train clients at the Morningside Virgin Active Gym in Sandton, South Africa. He has been featured in many fitness and bodybuilding magazines, and has also appeared on the cover of MUSCLE magazine. He was inducted into the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB) Hall of Fame's first ballot in 1999. With his wife Mareon of 55 years at home and Jon Jon by his side, Park died on November 22, 2007 in his home in South Africa, after an eight month battle with metastatic melanoma (a form of skin cancer).
