This article does a good job detailing the history of weightlifing in America. The most interesting parts are the different, sometimes, dangerous theories about food that some of the lifters had:
Daily Menu for the Three Saxon Brothers
Breakfast 24 eggs
3 pounds smoked bacon
Porridge with cream
and honeyTea with plenty of sugar
Dinner
10 pounds of meat
Vegetables
Sweet fruit (raw or cooked)
Sweet cakes
Salad
Tea
Sweet puddings Cocoa and whipped cream
