I don't remember what torn muscle lost him his Animal sponsorship, but I'm guessing it was that tricep.  Hide your shame.

Did Frank ever start posting on the animal forums? I remember how Frank and "Machine" never got on. They benefitted from the forum members buying the products and yet never did anything in return. Except standing around at the Arnold Classic looking angry.

Shitty looking cover.

Once again, I must agree because the truth is always...Well, the truth.

Is that a condom on this assclowns dome?  No one, supercalifragelisticabso fuckinglutely no one I personally know thinks a "physique" of this type is attractive or even useful.

Now Steve Reeves, Clancy Ross, Reg Park, Bob Paris, Frank Zane, Steve Davis and to a lesser degree, the Oak (he was the rare exception as he is ARNOLD),  physiques of this calibre are considered far more aesthetic to people.

By people I mean the general populace. Those that account for 99.999999999999999999999 999999999999999999999999 9999999999999 % of the world's population. ;D

He did tear his tricep before the car accident, yes, it was fixed-healed.  But in 2010 Frank was involved in a car accident. An oncoming vehicle jumped the median and hit Frank’s car head on. Frank lost his spleen, suffered a collapsed lung, lost three litres of blood and had the skin torn from his previously injured triceps.

Always enjoy the magazines even in the internet age, but usually when I am on the road.   Especially like this issue since there is a page of my pictures in it from the IFBB Sacramento and IFBB Border States.

Pretty cool.

Subscription to Flex and Muscle & Fitness is so cheap anymore.  I get Flex mag for $9 annually including shipping.  Honestly that's even a bit overpriced for them.  All those magazines look the same anymore.

Pecosaurus: pronounciation, pec-o-saur-us, noun, A dinosaur of the early Insulin Period, of the  therapods---dinosaurs who walked upright on their hind legs. They have massively well developed pectoral muscles---of which usage is still being studied...it has been debated that thet branched off of species which spawned the current day modern bird.

Allan Donnelly leaves FLEX magazine with it's worst cover in decades. I imagine this is like a proverbial check to the nut sack of AMI/Weider. A big FUCK YOU. McGrath is handsome and has tremendous arms, but this is the worst picture of him, ever. Torn tri, no face, doo-rag headband thingy. I would be interested in seeing the #s for this atrocity.


Hey Ron- This is my vote for worst cover of the year/decade.

AD- Well played, sir.
