Title: Muscle & Fitness November 1980!
Post by: Bluto on January 30, 2007, 02:47:06 PM: I bought an old issue of Muscle & Fitness today for $1 - November 1980!

I wish I had a scanner. Some funny shit in that rag. I'll see what I can quote. Hold on ;D

Doesn't seem to have the variety of today though - "high protein" "super protein" "milk egg, yeast, meat, fiber dynamic muscle builder" "super protein" "90% protein"

Post by: Bluto on January 30, 2007, 02:50:38 PM: This cracks me up - "As America's latest sex symbol, Lou Ferrigno must dodge hordes of females - fans and otherwise." ;D

"I just can't believe it" Lou Ferrigno exclaimed. "All of a sudden it seems almost every woman in America has the Incredible Hulk as some kind of fantasy!"

You know that wasn't a direct quote from Louie...it would have said "Ah cant bewieve women won't pay me twentee dollahs to take a pic wif dem."

Then another 13 pages. All in all - 21 pages.
