Like really, why would anyone buy a bodybuilding magazine? Training articles....lol. Lets face it, any moron asking about training or wanting to see what steroid induced guys do are insane. If you train natural, you can't really do what they do and if you have no idea what exercises build arms, back, etc. etc. you really shouldn't be lifting. What people fail to realize is this isn't rocket science. Unless you want to do some of those CrossFit craziness where they make up the exercises as they go along then ask.
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed...they actually serve no purpose any more....and they have just become a book full of ads and stupid work out routines that are recycled and presented as "this bodybuilder's secret routine to build muscle"....
That being said it will be a sad day when they are totally gone forever and are strictly on line..I still stop and peruse them out of habit when I see them on the newsstand.....and I buy about two per year if it has an enticing cover

Great abs = hard work and great diet. Abs are make in the kitchen. You have to cut the body fat in order to see them, and you need to work them so that once you can see them, they are worth looking at.
Every out of shape blob uses the "genetics" excuse.

This is sage advice. You must be a personal trainer. I shall call you "the trainer" from here on.

Hahaha, you are half right but also delusional. Abs, traps, calves are all in a different ball game. Most of these bodybuilders don't even train abs or forearms. I wish I had the old Muscle and Fitness from 1978 that had the interview with Robby. He said he couldn't waste his time training abs since they are always at work. He stated his abs got more work balancing with shoulder presses than sit ups. Mind you he's on hormones but having abs is low bodyfat and genetics. No person that is a classic endomorph is ever...EVER GOING TO HAVE ABS WITHOUT HORMONES, DIET AND WORK. Take out the hormones and he doesn't have abs.
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!

Once upon a time; training equipment and books about training were advertised in magazines.

its always the guys that are born with great abs that say this....unless you diet yourself way down which most people are incapable of doing, you won't have washboard abs....don't perpetuate a myth

The myth is that you can't cut body fat for whatever "excuse." Start by cutting all carbs out of your diet, you'll see fat loss. You just don't want to stop stuffing your fat face with carbs. That's most fatties' problem.

At one time they served as the news center of Bodybuilding. Unless you knew someone that attended a show you would not hear about the outcome for weeks or months. The muscle mags served the purpose and added commentary. Outside the gym they became the community of bodybuilding. Today we are on line 24/7. Unfortunately we also see/read from the dregs of humanity on line. The muscle mags filtered all of that.
We have evolved. I sold big rigs for 44 years. When I started I hand wrote proposals, took trade-in photos and credit apps. It took several weeks to close a sale. FAX machines were not yet invented. Now you do it all on line and if you take more that 4 hours for the whole damn transaction your competition gets the order. Bodybuilding reporting and articles have evolved the same.
All media is supported with advertising. The mags are now half ads. Dinosaurs.

couldn't agree more.

Well, its the same on here. You have people asking people "whats their diet look like". Jesus Christ, again...not rocket science. Those people who you're asking about diet you know that they take take hormones BUT the latent homosexual, man envy part of them rages on. You know what, lets see some of these people before hormones, I can guarantee that they were small and shriveled up.

So they need you to tell them how to do it? BAAAAAHAAAAAAAA. Listen go back into your delusional world buddy. All this information is found on Youtube, online articles, etc. etc. IF THEY'RE TOO LAZY TO LOOK UP HOW TO EXERCISE PROPERLY, then don't bother walking into a gym! There's nothing you or your "PERSONAL TRAINING" is going to do for them.

FLEX MAGAZINE
The 5 in 5 Gain Plan
Pack on FIVE POUNDS of lean muscle mass in FIVE WEEKS. You in?
http://www.flexonline.com/nutrition/supplements/put-mass/5-5-gain-plan
There was a time not so long ago that a bodybuilder in mass-gain mode resorted to a high-protein, high-carbohydrate, high-fat diet to increase muscle and add pounds. A common mantra was, “I’ll put on all the weight I can, then whittle away the fat later.”
Thankfully, we’ve come to understand the fallacy underlying that method. Getting big on a superhigh-calorie diet might result in some added muscle, but it will certainly pack on even more fat.
And face it, once the fat’s on, it’s much more difficult to take off.
Today’s bodybuilder is interested in not only the quickest, but also the smartest and healthiest way to add mass. FLEX, ever ready to serve, has answered this call for an efficient mass-gain strategy by constructing a program that will help you, the average reader, gain five solid pounds of muscle in five weeks, without an accompanying layer of lard around your middle.
What does it take to add one pound of muscle? One oft-cited standard has it that to gain a pound in a week, over the course of that week, you would have to take in 3,500 calories more than you burn via activity and normal metabolic processes.
That’s the measure of a pound of flesh, with its accompanying muscle and fat; a pound of pure muscle is a tougher nut to crack. Not only do you need calories above and beyond what you burn, but those extra calories must contain a higher percentage of protein to provide the raw materials for muscle growth, as well as carbohydrates for energy to train — and to fuel muscle building — during recovery periods. You’ll also need those calories at precise times throughout the day: if you don’t eat every three hours, your system could slip into a catabolic state, where muscle tissue is tapped for energy. Lastly, you need to train consistently to break down muscle tissue and initiate the chain of events that prompt them to come back a little stronger and a little bigger.
Before embarking on your journey to five new pounds of muscle, you need to plan for the trip, and you need to determine your specific bodytype to tweak the diet to your particular needs. With those pieces in place, you’ll be ready to follow through to the end without faltering.
MIND OVER MUSCLE
As you probably know firsthand, a bodybuilder can be his own worst critic when it comes to assessing his appearance. It’s a constant pursuit of perfection, and part of it involves keeping a stern eye on the smallest details. To stick with this (or any) specific diet, such a mindset can come in handy. Turn this negative attribute into a positive, and engage in some forward thinking to fuel your motivation.
How? Setting a realistic short-term goal, such as completing the tasks laid out within this article, is an easy and forward-thinking way to stay focused and not become frustrated or give up. Make sure to never skip a meal or a workout, and that consistency will coalesce into results over time.
With such a positive mental outlook, you can settle in and attack your mass-gaining assignment aggressively. You have a deadline and a specific target: gaining five pounds of muscle in 35 days. Focusing with this goal and time period in mind should enable you to get the most out of your workouts. Now is not the time to hold back — push yourself to your absolute limits in your training, always aware that the finish line is within sight.
YOUR NEXT 5 WEEKS
The diet detailed on the following pages is a mix of whole foods, including lean cuts of beef, skinless chicken and turkey breast, certain types of fish, some legumes, eggs and low- fat dairy. When following a strict meal plan such as this, variety helps you avoid ruts that lead to urges to cheat, and may help you dodge development plateaus caused by your body’s incredible ability to adapt.
Supplemental protein sources such as protein powders and weight-gain powders are included for the sake of convenience throughout the day and as a must around workout time. Typically, protein powders are high in protein and low in carbs, fats and calories; meal replacement powders strike a balance of carbs and protein.
Protein provides the building blocks for your body, and carbs give you the energy required to build new muscle and to work out while keeping all your systems humming. Lacking the proper kind and amount of carbs in your nutritional plan can result in disaster — your body will tire quickly and will strip your muscle tissue for energy. In this diet, we keep it simple, recommending basic foods such as rice, whole-wheat bread and fiber-rich vegetables, as well as fast-digesting carbs such as white breads and sports drinks after workouts.
Once you reach the five-week mark and marvel at your progress, remember that the base diet can be used year-round. Consider your ultimate goal (losing more fat or gaining more muscle), and then simply alter the food amounts — a little less, coupled with more cardio during training, to cut up, or a little more, coupled with hard-and-heavy weight training, for more muscle.
Now that you’re headed in the right direction, building a more muscular, leaner you is just a few weeks away.

Soft porn for gay closeted and bi curious men.
Gay men don't need to waste time with the steroid muscle tease of magazines; they are fine with renting or buying explicit gay porn, picking up a musclehead in the gym or at a bar, renting a muscle escort, or just dating a muscle head without claiming that it's "inspirational." ::)

thats true, sadly most dont know this. and they seek the first place they see. some people dont know better. the same way people here flocked to gh15's bs. instead of learning about pharmacology. or people flock to sites instead of buying a basic sports nutrition book. people will almost take the easiest route.
