Sandow’s Magazine, UK

Sandow’s Magazine of Physical Culture, established by Eugen Sandow in 1898, has been regarded as the first bodybuilding magazine. Founded in summer 1898 under the name Physical Culture, the magazine was renamed Sandow’s Magazine of Physical Culture in April 1899. Howard Spicer was editor. Contributors included the music-hall artist Dan Leno, and several young writers who would subsequently achieve fame: P. G. Wodehouse, H. H. Munro, and George Douglas Brown.

Wodehouse contributed seven sporting-themed articles to Sandow’s Magazine during 1901–1902.
