Olympia competition, whose participants, performing, could continue to earn money. To encourage athletes to continue training, Joe founded the Mr. Olympia Training Encyclopedia.Īt that time, the best bodybuilders participated in "Mister Universe", and the only drawback of this event was that the winners were forbidden to participate in similar competitions again. Then the athlete wrote more than one book, for example, “Bodybuilding. And together with him, he subsequently released another edition of "Bodybuilding by Wyders". Joe was not the only one promoting bodybuilding, in this he was helped by his brother Ben Weider, with whom he created the International Federation of Bodybuilders in Canada. With a height of 178 cm, he managed to gain weight up to 96 kg (in the off-season he dropped to 85 kg), and his biceps had an impressive volume, while the man remained pumped up, which is clearly visible in numerous photos. His body was living proof that great results could be achieved by putting these tips into practice. 50 thousand copies flew from kiosks in a month, at first it was a small brochure called Your Physique, over time it grew into a serious magazine Muscle Builder, then it was renamed Muscle & Fitness.īy that time, the bodybuilder had thoroughly studied the principles of training for building muscle mass, and therefore decided to write the first book in his biography, "The Joe Weider Body Building System", which became a guide for professionals and beginners in the creation of relief muscles. At 17, he published the first edition containing information on proper muscle building and a training program. Then Wyder came up with the idea to state his knowledge in a magazine. As soon as the young man found relief forms, people began to wonder how he managed to achieve this.
