Year 1969 crucial year for bodybuilding in Catalunya.
Catalonia was one of the pioneers in the settlement of gyms in one of its forms was bodybuilding, there were several gyms that began opening their doors and also to advocate a hygienic gymnastics and wrestling and other forms of the time, made his first steps on the adventure of a new system was bodybuilding and in the 50 and 60 was an almost total unknown to most people, only movies with gladiators, Roman or Times Hercules gave a glimpse of physicists that this discipline could achieve. To which must be added to the misunderstanding of the athlete who would like to get a muscle and was subjected to all kinds of jokes. That in popular sports in the minds of the leaders of the time they watered with their wisdom, have adverse effects health and athletic performance, arguing that it would suffer from heart, to the stiffness of the muscles through a range that would expose any port of the moment.
fact and truth that despite all of that incomprehension and mockery determined there were some who began to create a movement towards the much-maligned train with weights and gradually gained an advanced adepts of his time was Joseph Donato already competed in 60 international in 1965 and competed in the Mr. Universe professional, London being sixth championship in which the winner was Reg Park and it won the award for best abs and so intense career when here in Spain we took the first steps.
emerged gyms, some modest while others began to advocate the benefits of bodybuilding, also appeared in September 1963 of the first bodybuilding magazine in Spain "The Weight" marks a turning point because from there the disclosure and knowledge of the sport began to gain many integers. Until then, the magazines were few rolled by Spain, some American, Mexican or French but finally we had a magazine that would be a wonderful tool for growth. It is true that the early numbers speak more than bodybuilding weightlifting but also it is true that a few numbers and chroniclers emerging throughout the English geography and writers, Mateu Peytibi, Dino Camerlengo, Peter A. Quiñones for nearly a decade taught us much about the sport.
must also say that sometimes they were merely translations of what was published abroad but in a country in the sixties were a few magazines from drawing further the knowledge of the language is quite limited served for English builders knew what was happening outside our borders and we were not alone.
also emerged the top manufacturers of home but allowed for training that was what he wanted most amateur without giving any explanations in the gym he went, so the emergence of home gyms was great for a few years, companies such as Pros & Cargo Adyn, Saybah. Etc .... Which were equipped with almost all the gyms of the time.
And of course, came the competitions, the first was performed in an original way the magazine The weights that was a photo contest on Mr. "weights" that won Jaime Gallostra 1964, then came the competitions I Amalio Mr. Madrid won by Lashley and that would also be a classic for many years, Mister Heracles.
