Flex magazine July/ausgust and M&D May 2016 Gaspari and Labrada ....
If in the summer of 89' when Labrada and Gaspari were fan favorites to knock Haney down , you would have told me that some 27 years later they were going to be back on covers of bodybuilding publications I'd say no way !
But it happened ....
Want another proof that nobody cares about 5x MrO Phil and that current bodybuilding is dead?
WooooSSHHHHHH
-
Paper Mags are dead. That plus PH is narrow..
-
Older guys (45 +) are probably the last folks left buying mags too, so I expect a lot more classic bodybuilding issues.
-
The bodybuilding "press" seem to be catering for the schmoealistic nostalgists who bought the okie-doke before the peptite era.
Personalizes gold sneekers, LV man-bags and customised "lion rings" just don't appeal to those here before generation nothingness :-\

Really? I'm in that demographic and I haven't bought a BB magazine since the early 1990s. :-X

I think so, I rarely see anyone (young or older) bother with the fitness mags outside of say something like Men's Health, but when I do it's usually an older guy, and the only ones that seem to follow the print mags are the hardcore older meat heady types.
I think it's sorta like the printed porn industry, mostly dead, but a few places/mags are sustained by the stragglers.

Wooshhh comparing today's bodybuilding with porn is beyond depressing....
However; While printed magazines are fading I think most are missing the point,
You see a baseball magazine Summer 2016; and they feature the current sluggers and pitchers on cover, not the all star players from 25 plus years ago ....
Admit it ! Philsulin and the rest f today's bodybuilding "stars" are not inspiring or entertaining at all .
WoooSHHHHHHH

I bought one bodybuilding mag in my life, and it was only because Arnold was on it.

And probably like most people , because you knew Arnold from the movies

One thing is for sure, Labrada is more of an ideal bodybuilder" than 5XMR.O Phil .
WoooSHHHHHHHHHH

The articles are dead too. Just looking at that cover, "more mass killer workout", "blast your arms", "10 ways to slash fat", another secret abs workout, etc :P Stuff was old 40 years ago.

But that is bodybuilding in general, as an activity , you can say same thing about any other "sport' activity .... only difference is that today's bodybuilders are not good enough for the job.
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHH

Gaspari's veins make up most of his arm circumference....

Me too !
Well, I bought my last one about 5 yrs ago I guess..... :-[
-
With the exception of a mag with Reeves and/or Arnold on the cover a few years ago, it's been over 30 years or so. I cannot recall when I bought that last mag, dammit! ;D They've become supplement catalogs and their informative content is worthless (as if it ever truly was! ;D).
"Get the chicks! Become a Weider Wildcat!" ;D

GASPARI'S BIGGEST 220 PLUS ,,HIS LOWER BODY WAS BETTER THAN LEE'S...LEE WAS SUPERIOR GENETICALLY/SHAPE WISE OVER RICH TENFOLD..
-
Those guys pay to be put on the cover these days. Kinda like DLB's hubby paid for her Olympia win...
-
Labarda has a very pleasing physique.
-
Wow, they still look incredible! Both of them must've stole O'Hearn's fountain of youth elixir out of his gym bag when his dog wasn't looking.
-

I bought a bodybuilding magazine as late as 2008/2009 (I'm 38 years old).
-

still does.
-
I'm in that demographic as well.Have not bought a new muscle mag since the 1990s. They are so predictBle, spring issues always speak of shredding for the summer. Fall issues speak of powering up the weights and wearing sweats. The new mags are all adds at best.I still have ever mag I bought since the mid 70s.
-
still does.
Agreed. That tell a lot about the BB.
-

Labrada is excellent.
Gaspari is a hodge podge of leftover Dwarf and Halfling parts thrown together by a mentally retarded version of Saruman the Off-White..."Release your Wang-Riders!"
-
The last issue I bought was Weider's Muscle and Fitness where it featured Arnold's win in 1980.
Occasionally (and even then it's been years), I'd flipped through a muscle rag at the news rack, but even then I stuff inside another magazine featuring granny porn, or something like that, so people around me won't think I'm some creep.

Jeeze, look at these guys. This is when bbing was at it's peak. They even knew how to do a standing relax pose -- my favorite pose.

Disagree. I was never a huge fan of Gaspari's physique but I don't think he was gifted structurally for bbing. But what he did and accomplished out of sheer determination, discipline and "to the death" drive is something I admire and respect.

GASPARI'S BIGGEST 220 PLUS ,,HIS LOWER BODY WAS BETTER THAN LEE'S...LEE WAS SUPERIOR GENETICALLY/SHAPE WISE OVER RICH TENFOLD..
What did Lee weigh that day? Looks to be 250 there. I think Rich claimed to be 5'9", but wasn't over 5'8" (3" shorter than 5'11" Haney). When Rich made his comeback in the mid 90's I think he was in his mid 240's.

Gaspari wasn't a dwarf. He was at least 5'8" (maybe even 5'9"). Labrada was around 5'3"-5'4".

Gaspari is 5'7 at best, maybe around 5'8 peak but not nowadays

He's not that short. I've seen him at several expos in the last couple of years and he's in the 5' 8-9" range.

He's about 1 inch taller than me, so that would make him about 5'9 or really close.

Labrada at the '91 Olympia. His posing was impeccable!

tremendous poser.

The problem with today's bodybuilders (at Olympia level) they'd all look like frogs in the transition from one pose to the next trying a routine as Labrada's
WoooSHHHHHHHHHH

Gaspari trained, ate and juiced every drop out of his genetic potential.....I don't think many BB did the same. 8)

I said Dwarf and Halfling parts. Stubby looking. He looks thrown together but I will say he worked for what he got. I prefer the aesthetic flow of Labrada over both Gaspari and Haney. Shoot, I think Gaspari looks better than Haney in some poses/contests. Haney should never have won more than a couple of Olympias but that's just one opinion and win 8 of them he did.
-
the best height for bb is 5'5" to 5'9"
i believe that benafetto was only 5'5" jean-paul guillume was 5'7"
of course i'm talking only about the aesthetic masters, fuck these big bloated bloofy thick waisted turds with shit lines

I just subscribed to Flex for 2 yrs for $7 I figured for this price, great bathroom reading.......
Was very disappointed at how small the mag has gotten and the last 3 issues have been BB'ers from yesteryear, Lou, Rich and Lee.....
