        Sandow was revered by people and admired by later generations not only because of his muscular physique and superhuman strength, but more importantly, because of his cultural literacy and moral cultivation, which were incomparable to ordinary strongmen. Sandow entered university at the age of 18. By studying human anatomy, he gained a deeper understanding of the significance of scientific exercise and, through practice, developed a complete set of training methods for developing muscles.
       To help more fitness enthusiasts understand and master the correct methods for developing muscles, after the age of 30, he began writing fitness works such as 'Strength and How to Get It,' 'Methods of Physical Training,' and 'Experimental Methods for Curing Diseases,' which were welcomed by bodybuilding enthusiasts around the world. In 1898, Sandow founded the journal 'Physical Culture' and simultaneously established a sports school in London, with branches also set up in New Zealand, Australia, India, South Africa, and the Americas, teaching sports such as bodybuilding, weightlifting, and wrestling. In addition, he also offered correspondence courses to guide young men and women worldwide.
