The history of bodybuilding dates back to the 19th century, when German athlete and showman Eugen Sandow started so-called muscle-display performances in England.

Russia's federal bodybuilding championship took place in the city of Kazan on 10 October. 

The jury selected the winners in the following categories: classic bodybuilding, body fitness, fitness bikini, beach bodybuilding, and fitness model. 

Junior participants aged 19-23 were also invited to take part in the event.
