I'm really fed up with these mags with the same articles for 30 yrs in a row. Now THAT'S something those Occupy hippies should demonstrate against !!!!!!

neither, too much photoshop on both.

i would love to make gfx for those zines. i'm not even semi-pro in gfx and I could do better than those guys. they're really terrible. same ol' contrast 'n smart sharpen over and over again. it's getting boring.

oldschool covers with Arnold and other guys just OWN those. any kid can do shit like this, I guarantee.

Actually, this cover is completely tasteless and horrible:

 - too many veins
 - that cap looks horrible
 - too much contrast
 - terrible grimace
 - horrible colors
 - overall he looks like penis in shirt and hat

This cover like many others show exactly what is wrong with modern bb: people are tasteless. It's TOO MUCH of everything. More isn't better, in art they understood that hundreds of years ago. For some reason bodybuilding gets backwards every year in terms of aesthetics. When I look at this year's NPC finalists it makes me think: NO, NO, NO. This is NOT bodybuilding. What those guys do is more of an "muscle growing", they are like pigs for slaughter. "Wider" isn't always better, "bigger" isn't always better, hell, even "smaller waist" isn't always better. Why don't those guys get it ffs?

Agreed, both are horrible. Like choosing between a turd and diarrhea.

I might buy it for the arms article. Clearly he has developed a unique combination of exercises,sets and reps to build huge arms.
