He needs the finished look. Phil has it. Ramy might need a few more years.

He needs to come in fifteen or so pounds lighter to be a real contender IMO.
-
Would like to see his conditioning on gameday now that he dropped DJ. DJ was his weakest link. His thighs need to come down a bit so he has better symmetry
-
Strong cover and a good job by FLEX.

I agree. It's not embarrassing in any way.
Many magazine covers are really goofy & kinda gay.

This dude deserves too be Mr O In the next few years. He should try to learn English quick. He can do it in his free time in the car etc.

Depends if the readership is straight homosexual or prefers transvestites?

I actually love the DLB cover and feel that it is long overdue. The last thing that I ever want to do is give MD any sort of kudos, but this one will probably do very well as far as sales go. The cover teasers are utterly horrendous and fall into line with their usual repetitive cliche-laden style and from what I was told (I haven't had the opportunity to thumb through it myself on the newsstand; I obviously would not contribute any capital to my former employer), it is in the 180-page range and the editorial choices are all over the map - bodybuilding, general fitness, etc. No flow or continuity and another indication that they are spinning their wheels and not sure what direction to take.

With Aceto in his corner, I think he could nail his conditioning at very close to 300lbs. Don't think it will happen with Farrah.

All print magazines will be done in 1 - 2 years
BB websites (MD, Rx etc...) will follow suit
This is the social media generation, people in the "industry" might actually have to get a real 9-5 job (shudder at the thought) or go back to jail for dealing drugs

While I do feel that the print industry as far as bodybuilding publications go is certainly on shaky ground, having the same issue online will probably take over once they do finally disappear off the newsstand shelves. And the other online aspects, such as podcasts, videos and posts, will always have a market.
I am using the print issues of MuscleSport Magazine http://www.musclesportmag.com (http://www.musclesportmag.com) as more of a media kit of sorts as handouts at expos, gyms and supplement stores. The online version gets a much better response and there are no circulation, distribution or shipping costs incurred.
But as a whole, I am using the magazine as a bridge to the website, where we have also all of our big name columnists, radio show, videos, forum and articles. That is the aspect of the business that can not only survive, but thrive, as well.
With FLEX and MD, they are using their respective websites as bridges to the print magazines. They are not changing with the current climate and are obviously suffering as a result.

Would never ever make cover of Tracks or Trasher mega coin magz 8)

It has nothing to do with time, years means nothing, its about going deeper into contest prep. The look he brings is what he should look like 4 weeks out. He comes in at 290, if he came in at 270 while not sacrificing muscle, GAME OVER.

Poor English
No title

Politics aside he should be the next mr o.

I don't think that he'd have to drop 20lbs. Maybe 10-12lbs.
I can't imagine him losing 20lbs.

Even like that he blows Philsulin out of the water Philsulin structure sucks way overrated

I would agree with you that all is needed is a 12-14lb to drop to be as conditioned as Phil, however he would be entering uncharted territory so it would take more the first time around, 20lb easy

Traps were thickened and his head/face was made smaller. But I agree- not too shopped.

lol. Right I bet the first issue will have old black and white pics of Arnold or something no doubt. Guarantee this "magazine" will never see a 7-11 in my city and I can guarantee you will see old rehashed pics weve seen in Flex or some place else. The Arnold pics are a fact. Watch. Wont last 4 issues. lol

Yes, Phil does look like he's finished... ;)

Look who showed up. The guy that doesn't pay on bets. You still owe me $100.00 and I won't let you forget it. It's the principle of it, I don't even need it. People that don't pay on bets are pieces of shit. Are you a piece of shit?

Ramy will never win the american contest.

I'm not sure if you're referring to my publication, but it has been around since 2009 and I don't foresee spending money to put it on the newsstand (7-11 included) for the reasons I stated in my previous post.
We have never used a rehashed old black and white Arnold photo and never will. We don;t have the rights to such footage, anyway.

Ahnuld who?!

LOL! You're only a piece of shit if you don't pay on bets, so you determine you're a piece of shit or not. ;) Low class loser? LOL.
I dont want more. I want what we agreed on. Don't give me that emergency bullshit, We made that during the Olympia. September of last year. Helluva emergency and I've noticed you've been reviewing the board so nice try. You should expect this kind of aggression when you let debts go unpaid mothercanucker.

lmao i am really losing sleep over this ::) :P, but I know you are relying on it to make ends meet :'(so I do apologize. Don't be a disrespectful fuck next time and I won't return it to you. ;)

Trust me, I'm doing fine.It's the principle. Fucker. Don't be that guy to get butthurt when called on your debts. It's been September. If you make a bet with someone and lose, you pay that bet. You don't brush it off like it's nothing. It's a gentlemen's word. Do you understand what that is? You deserved the verbal lashing and I expected you to retaliate and to continue. Welcome to Getbig, give me my money. If you can't understand a gentleman's word then, you're not the man I thought you were.

Flex sucks now!!! totally sucks!!! One..its bimonthly and two, no good articles at all!!! I've had a subscription to Flex since 1987 and this year I let it go b/c its so bad now!

MD is worse. Going from over 300 pages of hardcore BBing, to what it is now. Who buys mags now anyhow. I had the first issue of Flex and had a subscription to MD and Flex up until 5yrs ago.

Wasn't MD 270 pages of adverts?
-
Wasn't MD 270 pages of adverts?
Yeah but whose counting.
-
Wasn't MD 270 pages of adverts?
MD at one time actually eclipsed 400 pages in each issue and is down to the 180-page range nowadays. Regardless of how many pages are in any particular print magazine, there has to be a certain percentage of ads to editorial for it to not be a loss before it even hits the newsstand.
So while it may have seemed as if it was "all ads" when it was 300-plus pages, the ratio was the same as it is now.
But no matter how many - or lack thereof - pages are in a magazine, the editorial has to be good for it to be worth picking up and even leafing through. What they are putting out now is utter shit and a shell of what it once was. That's the real issue.

What stopped me buying it years ago was the constant rehash of old photo shoot pictures. I was buying new adverts, not new photos of bodybuilders.

Swami bami Ramy will not win the O. He got no muscle maturity.

I totally get what you're saying & felt the same way when I worked for them. But there is only one voice that matters there and it wasn't mine!

He needs more lines in his quads, but overall he's already there.. Too bad he didn't came to our country last year, but it was nice to meet DJ.

You met Dexter ??
I heard he is very stupid...
Or do you mean Dennis James, who is less of an imbecil.

Dennis James, he did a nice seminar where he gave detailed answers on my questions.
Yeah, Dexter isn't the sharpest pencil, but physique-wise he's still on the most gifted guys ever, sans the calves.
-
What questions did you ask Dennis,and what was his reply?? I'm really interested.
Next we should meet up, these dude don't come to Groningen... :-[

Can't remember all of them, but my first question was regarding contest prepping during the last week; how does his strategy in general looks like? He wasn't a fan of depleting and carb loading and also explained the why. He also discussed his time under tension training, which makes sense, esp for people with joint issues (several examples on his Youtube page)
LOL, you still life in 'Grun'?

Yeah right, NAM will repair my quake damage plus gave me 4000 euros to spend on isolation stuff....but off course'the market value of my house dropped about ten times 4000. Thank you NAM, thank you government....now I will never sell this shit and move back home.

Sorry to hear that. This whole 'gas gate' is complicated shit; we need better alternatives.
