Anybody checkout the new Muscular Developement mag for this month? They are now using cheaper paper, and its noticeable. It was such a turnoff, that I didn't even purchase it.
-
Haha no I'm going to have to go check it out, printing a 600 page advertisement book must be expensive had to switch to the newspaper paper.
-
I got the April issue free at the Arnold Expo. Starting this month I will have to go back to paying for my MD's...
-
i haven't seen the newest issue. But that would be a drag if quality drops.
-
too many f'n advertisements.
-
I love how MD has articles that say that so many supplements out there are pure crap, followed by 20 pages of ads for those same supplements.
And don't get me started on those "special six page ad reports"... No one reads that crap!!!

You know what's funny... I just picked up the new issue of MuscleMag with Priest on the cover and they had LESS 6 page special reports than MD did... Which I found funny, because isn't Robert Kennedy a head wig of MuscleTech also?
I found that more than just a little curious.
-
All those mags insult our intelligence in that regard, but there is no BS-free mag out there, so these will have to do...

Wow! Paper must be really important for you. ::)

Right, Planet Muscle used to be the only non BS magazine out there. Funny how Jeff would always tell the reader how he does not accept advertiser and puts a limit on the number of advertisement allowed in his magazine. Then next year he sated writing about Optimum nutrition, then praised viraloid, and it got out of control. Oh well nothing good last for long

Get the electronic copy.

Get the electronic copy.
I agree... get that shit from zinio, it's a better looking read than what you get from the store... If you get a tablet PC, you can read it page at a time... It's nice.
-
In the April issue of MD, page 197, there's an ad with before/after pictures claiming "10% loss in body fat" and"300% increase in size" (emphasis added) in just ten weeks... On page 272 or so, there are before/after pics of Johnny Jackson that are supposedly 6 weeks apart, in which his physique changed tremendously thanks to "Celltech and other Muscletech supplements"...
Couldn't they at least try to make their lies more believable?!
Speaking of ON, as far as I know, they haven't employed this kind of advertising technique, with all the outrageous claims...
-

Yes, If I'm going to spend 10 bucks on a mag, I want it on nice solid paper with a good gloss on it.

first, you must really be stupid to spend money on a "bbinbg" mag.

Actually I was talking about this with someone and he was looking at this in a relative sense: people just beginning to workout may actually like having more ads in a magazine, rather than less. I know when I first got started I spent more time reading the ads than the actual magazine. These days I skip over them though.
-

Why?...... you think your Playgirl is a better investment.
-
MD was a good mag 3-4 years ago, it has gone straight to the shitter, it is about 80% supplement ads now.

Welcome to the club.
I gave up on MD months ago..........

100% absolutely spot-on.
Great post.
-

The feature on Trey is good, so is the training article on Evan Centopani. I haven't read much of the rest of the mag...
-
The feature on Trey is good
How many cocks does he service, and in how many orifices?

MD seems to be working it self up as the best showcase of up and coming escort services.

I totally took issue with the video that came from... I was like, could they possible show this guys crock any more? WTF?!

theres no doubt to which demographic md is trying to attract

well, they ARE associating themselves with DA! ::)

Times are lean in the muscle rag trade...
If they have to be a little less coy about what business they're in, I'm sure they'll get used to it.
-

And that's just sad... The advice he's giving people about AAS is horrible.
This is the same guy who needed Gyno surgery at 20.
-
Hahahhaha can you imagine what it'd be like if MD gave DA his own column? It would make Valvolino's type-set diarrhea look like Milton and Shakespeare in comparison.
Imagine page after page of crap like "TEH FVCUKIN GETBIG HATRRZZ WHERE TALKIN ABOUT ME HAHAHAHHAHAA LMAO!!!! SO I TOLD TEHM TO CUM TO ME AT TEH EXPO FCUKEN GETBIG HATRZZZ!!!!!! HAHAHAHA LMAO I WAS DOIN G4P LAST NITE AND TEH GUY'S DENTURES FELL OUT HAHAHAHAH!!!..."

Check out p. 63 of the April issue. ;D

Check out p. 63 of the April issue. ;D
I think you mean the "May" Issue... ;)
Page 63 in April was part of the MD people section with pictures of all kinds of people around the industry and I didn't see you on that page. (I know, I was looking)

bigg pussies read mens health
-
I tore 3 pages almost completely out of my april issue just by flipping the pages so it doesnt surprise me they also cut back on the glue

They might as well start using toilet paper, since they're pretty much synonymous.
-
Has anyone been to the MD site in awhile? Bet it's gayer than ever

The new cheaper paper makes good toilet paper ;)

No no no the best one is with their Mass-Tech articles. They claim that mass tech "Puts muscle directly onto your arms and chest!" I fell out of my chair when I read that nonsense.

The old paper didn't flush :P

Though why you would ever want to wipe your ass with something other than Andrex Super Soft is beyond me :)

To see shiet on Palumbo's etc face makes me feel better ;)
-
The first thing i do when i buy my montly MD is tear out the ads. Takes a little while, but its much easier to read after. Granted, there are some ads i'll keep, if they look cool enough.

I have too much respect for my ass to do a thing like that :D

MD used to criticize FLEX for putting pretty boy Gunter on the cover instead of scary looking black dudes who were doing better in contest and saying that FLEX only did that to sell. MD "kept it real" and as a result didn't do as well financially.
I think now they are trying to tweak their business model to what makes money rather than what is ideal. G4P seems to do that. All the power to MD, as it is free enterprise. I prefer their old model though.
