Title: Flex Mag. Arnold poster not included !!!
Post by: Pet shop boys on January 22, 2017, 12:16:26 PM
I know I'll be heavily trashed for even saying this,  but I'm one of the still subscribers to Flex mag ( I know it makes no sense in the internet era)  I just do it cause I still like to read the physical book/mag and cause I  get a motivation to hit the gym from it , not to mention I used to collect photos from the golden era specially Arnold Lou etc  and there's a nostalgia aspect to it...


Just to find out that one of my Arnold favorite photos its in the current issue as a poster.....

Guess what ?  the subscribers are not getting the posters in their issues  since who knows when !

What a CHEAP way to tell costumers to let the subscription expire ...in a world where people no longer cares to buy, let alone subscribe to magazines in general ....



WoooSHHHH LE VRO NE

What would you do with the poster other than hide it in a drawer somewhere and hope nobody finds it?

"walk away fatty"

He was exposed as cuck recently and Flex is dropping him.

Next special edition will feature life-size poster of Donald Trump instead.

Now, If they make this 1980 picture a poster.... should be the cover of a mag as well .....

its in full color which is rare in Arnold photography collection


I doubt Flex magazine has the right to print it though  it was taken by Balik  I believe

How much is the subscription for a year? 

With the catalog size the magazine now has can't  be that much money
Title: Re: Arnold poster not included !!!
Post by: Pet shop boys on January 26, 2017, 05:33:02 AM
I think its $24.99 per one year ....all though you only get 10 thin issues for 12 months and NO POSTER

was a subscriber in early 2000's for a few years.  Subscribed once more because "why not" last year.  Never again.  We all know bodybuilding has been going in the wrong direction for a long time.  Plus, Flex is throwing a lot of "training" crap that isn't even bodybuilding, trying to create a broader fan base, and I understand.  I'm probably stuck in the 90's but damn it was awesome back then.

It's not just the lack of posters. I didn't notice it until about a year ago. The reason that Flex is offering two-years-worth of magazine for $25 dollars is that the issues you get in the mail are about 20% smaller than the ones on the rack.

With the current issue (via subscription) not only is there no poster of Arnold, but the article on Juan Morel is gone. So too is the Johnnie Jackson back-training pages. To get those, you have to buy this month's issue off the rack, which is over $7 (including tax).

Can you tell the damn difference between theses two issues ?

Take a look at both Flex magazines closely ! one is thicker, has more articles, 50% more pages!!!!  and another Arnold poster !


I need to get some GetBiggers to have a petition signed to get compensated or to simply get rid of Flex magazine for good .

That is fucked up on so many levels. I agree with you about enjoying a print publication more and as a publisher myself, I put my money where my mouth is. So I really see this as a major 'fuck you' to the loyal FLEX audience. I go out of my way to take care of my subscribers; it makes total business sense to do so.

Fuck them and MD. Come on board with MSM.
