BODYBUILDING

Clash of Eras

Bodybuilding has a long and varied history, which, in the past few decades, fans have begun to group into “eras.” 

The best-known example of this — the so-called “Golden Era” — lasted from the 1960s to the early 1980s and was a time when Arnold Schwarzenegger, Frank Zane, Serge Nubret, Franco Columbu, and countless other legends were in their prime. Other examples include the “Mass Monster” era from the late ’80s to the mid-2000s, when Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman, and Jay Cutler pushed the boundaries of a muscular physique. 

Each era has, in its own way, advanced the fitness industry and the sport of bodybuilding as a whole. For this reason, they all echo throughout the modern age in some way. Here is a look at each major era, its key figures, and its impact on the sport.
