Wow, whats that, the 3rd Arnold cover/special/pull-out-poster this year? Definitely tapering off, FLEX.
Have you noticed how the 30yr old Arnie pics get more and more polished, and keep up with the times?
Run out of material, off-season, what to put in the Xmas issue...reach out for the A.S. archive!
I woudn't blame Flex,STOP WITH YOUR STUPID WOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHII IIIINNG...
but the "sport" it self that has run out of leaders or "cool characters".
woshhhhhhhhhh
This should be the cover!!! What we ALL want to look like!! Small waist...HUGE upper body.....
What true bodybuilding is all about. I vote we go back to the golden age of bodybuilding....not now where drugs have ruined the sport.

One thing people don't realise about those old artie zeller photos of arnold is that he took most of them in the reflection of the original gold's gym mirrors.
So in effect they are "shopped" to an extent since they are slightly distorted and make him appear thicker than he was...
Jelous hater. The guy talks shit about any white bodybuilder. To bad this one was the greatest ever :D
WTF...white bodybuilder....are u kidding me. Arnold is my fav, and zane is second. Are u shitting me. I like arnold but im a realist. DUDE LOOK AT HIS WAIST FROM BEHIND. Jesus you zealots kill me. dios mio. DUDE yes he was great but you can tell a shop when you see it.
Can't they come up with something a little more original?
wow. this is why I dropped flex. Another Arnold issue? I bet it's alot different than all the other Arnold issue's you guys put out there in the last 15 years. Yeah, BB is a dying sport...wonder why? Cause you're pushing a guy who retired 26 years ago!! yeah, don't push the guys that are marketable today like Dugdale or guys that have even a chance to appeal to the general public, cash in on that one arnold issue a year and to hell with the rest of the year. Good thinking!
THIS SHOULD BE THE NEW COVER OF FLEX.
It's supposed to have all his training he did leading up to the 73 Olympia, I think it will be interesting, better then reading about Cutler, I fucking hate reading about his training all the time he is just as boring when being written about.
:o :o :o
holy macrel!!!! I've never seen that shot before!!!
sorry, just too much arnold stuff for me, I used to think it was great but it's the same thing over and over again...
On the second cover arnolds chest has obviously been photoshopped, he had a huge chest yes but not that huge lol
damn he looks awesome.. :o
it is clear this photo was taken in the reflection of the mirror with arnold standing to the left of zeller as they face the mirror.
arnold is really flexing his right arm as he always did in one arm shots...
I find it funny that Flex and M&F use Arnolds pictures so much on the covers. With all the pros out there and guys they sponsor they don't use them on the covers. They sure don't think much of their pros.Ya, it's sad that they have to keep recycling the old pics. What about some of the other greats? They don't because they're not Weider's boy.
Can't they come up with something a little more original?Apparently most of the sheep including many on getbig still eat this up. It's gotta be Arnold though, no one else. ;D

and no i dont like jay cutler because he looks like a block. it aint a race thing at all you fucktard.
Shut up you fool. Jaw Gutler has no place in a thread about The Oak.
He's not worthy. He's a refridgerator.
Capisce?

Yes! Finally! Thanks, Peter [McGough]!
Are these actually two different covers!?!?!? ???
These are cover tests that are done with a small group of Flex readers, that are not supposed to reach the boards. We don't like to spam the boards with our covers-someone in the focus group must have decided they didn't want to keep it to themselves as they are supposed to.how does one get in this group? an overseas perspective might add to that rag of yours...

Isn't it pathetic that the day after the superbowl, world cup final, baseball, cricket etc etc, there is always indepth analysis in the papers. MONTHS after the olympia there is still no fucking contest review! Its no wonder the mags are going down faster than Db241 in a bath house :-\

The thing that everybody will say to the second picture is (apart from Bodybuilders) wow nice Tits Arnold :)
I never get tired of reading about Arnold, he is the King.

Monster photoshopyour photoshopped

do you guys know that this magazine with arnie on its cover won't come out till feb...so you all have to wait 1-2 more months..so KEEP LOOKING ;D

that makes 1 .5 months then..
More like 34 days ::)whatever...
whatever...
your avatar is awesome mikethamachine..i think so chris cormier did that gay butt jiggle in that posing routine i guess ;)

First off I have no idea what your trying to say in your post, you need to study up on that engligh a little, second what you preceive as a "butt jiggle" is really him placing his leg backward to flex his calf and hamstring which is part of the back dbl biceps pose.first of all my english is ok and second chris cormier did that gay stripper butt jiggle in that posing routine... ;)

MikeThaMachine, who's on the cover of the January isuue?some fitness chick is on the cover of the jan issue..

The bottom one looks more impressive at first glance, but they're both great covers. A great way to break younger/newer IFBB talent in is to slap them on the cover when they turn pro. Heath would make a great cover.
There is only one Arnold, though. His legacy will live on for another 30 years and more.

I would go with the second cover if you are trying to get more mainstream appeal and instant "Arnold" recognition.
That would be good, but this would be better!

dont many pro's use oxygen off stage?... inact many football players use it on the sidelines...
Arnold destroys yates and coleman!
Oliva > Schwarzenegger
Of course; it's hilarious how many try to deliberately misconstrue the meaning of that shot.
Shut up you fool. Jaw Gutler has no place in a thread about The Oak.

How can anyone misconstrue that shot? its pretty damn straight forward he hits a few shots and needs O2 , Shawn said he was at the contest and Ronnie was the only one who needed it.ND proving my point, already misconstruing considering that Shawn said there were TWO guys who used it. Nothing wrong with using it either, except to those who want to bend the image to suit agendas. ND & Ironage love that shot. ;)

Again the shot is straight forward its a sad commentary on the state of todays bodybuilding I mean seriously Ronnie can't even pose for a few minutes without the add of O2
You have no idea why it was used and are interpreting it to suit purposes.
Arnold and Sergio
Then he should do that immediately, based on your recommendation & complete lack of explanation as to why. ::)
Are you always an asshole or do you save it for getbig?
PLEASE let this be the new cover of Flex. If this ain't intensity, I don't know what is.

how bout this?
question:
where those 2 covers come from?
how come we can see it before it comes out, wouldn't it be a secret?
The best cover Schwarzenegger did was the one that revealed the dark side of this self sport.
