the worst cover ever of MD was the one with gustavo black and white wearing a tank top doing a twisting back shot.
that was an ugly cover

It just so happened to be a good seller for us.

Cara and Steve I know your reading this ---- it is a cool cover , your photographer is awesom and seems to be getting better and better and he is a nice guy, met him in LA with Lee (if its the same guy) but I was wondering just for intrest sake , would you ever contemplate putting a female bodybuilder on the cover or would that be just to much of a risk these days due to the public preception ??
Just be intresting to know your thoughts ??

Anyone got the April edition?
I'd like to hear what Greggy has to say and it's not in the stores yet.

i second that... let's hear about GV's shoutouts!

THOSE AT MD:
Yes, your covers are good. But your magazine as of late has sucked, so much so that I no longer buy it. It's time to go back to what worked...bring back the girls, cut down on the useless articles on crap nobody reads and get your edge back. Who cares if the mag is bigger if it's full of uninteresting articles?
Your mag used to be fun to read, and was distinct. But now it's bland and boring. Per Bernal is awesome, however. Your contest coverage is good except for the blatent bias to MD athletes.

the bodybuilding mags today are simply hard to read. its difficullt to find the actual content between all the ads. and who has time to flip through 500 pages?

pretty cool cover shot

Despite the attempt to make it less gay with some chick in the corner, that's one gay cover! But at least it's not as photoshopped as the Wilmore one. That was embarrassing. He'll never live that down.

Congratulations to Team MD athletes Lee Priest and David Henry for placing 1 and 2 at the Ironman Pro. What a great start to the new season.
The morning after the show I got Lee and Dave together to shoot with Per Bernal for our next (May) cover. They deserve it! I hope you like it!
Best of luck to Lee and Dave as they battle again this weekend in Columbus, Ohio at the Arnold Classic along with the rest of the MD Team: Dexter Jackson, Gustavo Badell, Victor Martinez, Melvin Anthony, Branch Warren and Chris Cook. Also best of luck to all the other competitors competing this weekend!

Steve love your mag. it is the only one worth reading these days. Shit if I see one more lost Arnold workout article in the other mags I'll tross my cookies.

I love my MD subscription

Honestly, that is a great cover. A bodybuilding magazine giving the front cover to the two top placers at the Ironman Pro contest, the first IFBB Pro contest of the year. It gives kudos to the competitors knowing that there is something for placing in the top two, it gives the Ironman Pro show soem props, and it is good for bodybuilding all around.

How many times have you seen a magazine pushing bodybuilding with no bodybuilder on the cover. Props to MD for putting them on... and the pictures look great.

A brilliant cover indeed.

Hey Mr. Blechman!

Why not try coming on here and engaging in the threads sometimes rather than coming on once in a while and spamming you magazine or cover . . . food for thought.

I am highly not a fan of the recent Gustavo cover which was in two pieces. Not cool to do that just for a few bucks in advertisement, but I still bought it, so it's not like I applied any pressure on MD as a consumer to change that, so they will probably do it again.

I plan to review that whole magazine, article by article. I'll put it up here when it's done:

^I doubt Henry will ever be able to meet or surpass the standards Lee Priest has set.

I think it's genetics......but it might have something to do with AAS dosage or desire.

Who knows.......

I just think Priest is virtually untouchable for a man of his size.
Probably the best arms in bodybuilding, period.

Thanks Steve and Cara nice cover.

Some people on this site still amaze me after all these years you still talk shit ans never show your pics.

Maybe.... For my part, I buy MD even if I think the cover is ugly. There is always great interviews in it and i enjoy reading pros column

dknole · « **Reply #49 on:** February 28, 2006, 05:31:31 PM »

I think the cover is great and the content too. More in depth and truthful while being topical and educational than the other mags.

It is funny how many armchair publishers exist in cyberspace, but none put any money where their laptop is and publish a magazine while paying the writers, models and athletes. Steve - right on!
