Werner Herzog made a film in recent years ...a biography of a Jewish strongman of about a century ago in europe which is where,along with Quebec, most of this type of thing was going on at the time. The protagonist's name escapes me at the moment but he was played by multiple World's Strongest Man Jouka Ahola. Strongmen were also the bodybuilders of the time in most cases eg Sandow, Hackenschmidt etc.
