Title: Muscle & Fitness and ARNOLD together again!
Post by: Pollux on March 23, 2009, 03:49:57 AM
It was bound to happen again. To celebrate it's 70th Anniversary, Muscle & Fitness has put none other than the King of Kings on its cover - Arnold Schwarzenegger!  8)

The article inside with Arnold is not long by any means, but does give an interesting view of Joe and Arnold...

Yeah. I was kinda disappointed with the cover only because they used the same Arnold picture for its November 2001 issue.

The whole black and white with red text on a white background, plus the magazine had alternate covers.

Yup. I mean, it's a GREAT picture of Arnold. But c'mon...to use it already for FLEX, cool. To use it again for Muscle & Fitness, ummm OK? But geezus, to use it yet again for another Muscle & Fitness cover?  ???

Of the thousands and thousands of Arnold pictures there are, they couldn't have used a different picture?

Speak on this, Scribbler!

Note Arnolds calves around 21 inches "according to him"  circa 71'.

That Arnold image was voted one of the best photos of all time in M&F IN 2001...so for our 70th anniversary issue it made sense to combine that photo with a recent image of Joe and Arnold together to show how their friendship has lasted since he was the best bodybuilder in the world. We actually tested several versions of the cover with different main images and that is the one that won.

I'd like to know which 2001 issue it was because I don't ever remember Muscle & Fitness having a poll for its readers to vote for the 'best Arnold picture of all-time'. I just don't see why that particular picture of Arnold would be allowed in the running being that it's been used already not once, but twice.

And are you allowed to post what the other potential covers looked like?  ???
