There is no doubt that he and his brother did A LOT to create the industry but I also believe he exploited the athletes that helped build his empire.DISCLAIMER: "SisterSteel" is a fictitious character with the sole purpose to entertain.

Re: Joe Weider passes away 3.23.13
image in 1936 ..fresh out of the great depression when things just starting to get moving... he proposes the idea of muscle building and comparison for a sport ..I mean think of how frugal people were after 6 years of cutting corners, we are not talking the cutting corners we do today...we are talking unemployed without unemployment for years ..
.. can you image the audacity of the idea .. of eating a lot of food and building muscle ..
regardless of what you think of the guy.. he started something.. in a time when he probably face a lot of flack for it ...
