Could certainly use an infobox, a few more refs, but basically a B.
The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Yamara 18:55, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
Is there a source for his personality, such as his laugh, high intellegence, and good manners?
[edit] Development of Physique
This article doesnt discuss how he came to develop his physique. As the "Father of Modern Bodybuilding" IMHO there should be some discussion of this. Were the training methods he sold the same ones he used? Wasn't he a gymnast at first? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.236.234.27 (talk) 16:33, 30 January 2007 (UTC).
I added in the article information on reps and weights what book that information in the link Eugen Sandow and the Golden Age of Ironmen that it is found in,as well as the name of the book the exercsies he used to build himself up are found in.
