Alexander Mikhailov was one of the pioneers of bodybuilding in Narva in the 1970s. He and his associates—Boris Zhitinsky, Viktor Fedorov, Vladimir Yelufimov, Vladimir Alekseyev, Konstantin Zaster, Alexander Kerro, and other sports enthusiasts—opened the door to sports for many Narva teenagers, popularizing bodybuilding, which had become one of the most important sports for the city's youth, through competitions. Alexander Mikhailov won numerous prizes at city and national bodybuilding competitions. In 1978, he won a prize at the Estonian Championships in the 80 kg weight class.
