 1 During the sixties and seventies, to attain huge muscles became more important than functional
 2 strength or having an attractive-looking body. The first people to make up this new sport of body
 3 building had a background in gymnastics exercises but the most famous practitioners became
 4 known as mass monsters on account of the impressed size of their muscles. Drugs and mechanical
 5 devices were used to developing individual muscles to a monstrous size. Gymnastics exercises then
 6 became the domain of “weaker” people: females, children and those recovered from injuries. Much
 7 of the advanced knowledge about gymnastics exercises were lost and the method was subsequently
 8 downgraded to the status of a simple, user-friendly activity. Once a person became skilled at this,
 9 he would progress to weight training. Currently a revival of gymnastics exercises is under way as
 10 extreme muscle building can harm the body, leaving it sore, out of balance, and in poor
 11 cardiovascular health.
