Okay, I give up. Someone give me the scoope, why is Atlas, the Greek Titan that holds up the sky, used in reference to so many bodybuilding/weightlifting terms? Atlas Stones, the Atlas statue holding the world, etc. I don't get it. I know Charles Atlas was like the first real bodybuilder, but was that his real name or did he change it when he moved to America? Is it because of him that we used Atlas? To me it seems Hercules would be the only logical choice to use as a Greek symbol in weightlifting, why is it that we use Atlas? Someone fill me in...
