IronGangsta.com presents 15 historical bodybuilding photos that in
one way or another speak about the origins of the sport of
bodybuilding as well as the whole weightlifting and fitness epidemic
that has taken over the world the last decade or so.
Sites like
YouTube.com are being flooded with fitness related videos while more
