Why? He hasnt won shit yet. Or done anything out of the ordinary.
And in terms of marketing what would it achieve. No matter who's on the front they'll be a freak.
"hasn't won shit"

MD is a great mag! But one thing...I know its the advertising that makes you the money, but man MD has too many freaking ads!!I love how the cover will say 448 Pages! Biggest in the World! and about a hundred of those pages are ads. :D
I love how the cover will say 448 Pages! Biggest in the World! and about a hundred of those pages are ads. :DHey Vic...you are completely wrong about that...a hundred of those pages arent just ads...get your facts straight...it's about 300 pages that are ads.
Anyway, that's a cool cover shot. 8)
damn MD sucks..MD is by far the worst magazine ever..the quality of the pics r shit and y the hell u all even buy MD...Epic humor!!!
FLEX on the other hand is the best magazine of all time..it has less ads,awesome photos and amazing articles..every issue there is an article of a new pro..FLEX MAG RULZ......MD GOES DOWN THE FUCKIN DRAIN...THATS TRUE
Flex says brocolli makes you gain 2 inches on your arms, MD says 1200 mg test is what gives you 2 inches on your arms. or am i wrong. i never red MD because we can't get it in Holland.

This is how a BB'ing magazine is constructed:
1.) ads
2.) ads
3.) get ripped abs for the summer
4.) ads
5.) get huge guns
6.) ads
7.) paraphrased interview with a pro
8.) ads
9.) ads
10.) Joe Blow's monster mass routine
11.) ads
12.) ads
you live in Holland, Mars?
That explains my crappy english ;D
FLEX is better than MD. better articles and pics. MD is all ads, silly cartoons, and stupid columns that the pro's answer the same questions each month.
they have flex wheeler conduct interviews and write reports and he's a fucking idiot. stop using the word "dawg".
the only reason people like MD is bc they thing they are hardcore and like the drugs in MD. we all know bbers use drugs, but just bc there is some drug infor, doesnt mean its a good mag overall. buy a fucking science journal if you want all the drug talk.
also, the black and white morphed photos look real good. :P

Hey Vic...you are completely wrong about that...a hundred of those pages arent just ads...get your facts straight...it's about 300 pages that are ads.My bad. :D
Hey Vic...you are completely wrong about that...a hundred of those pages arent just ads...get your facts straight...it's about 300 pages that are ads.And who gives a flying fvck about the guys that Palumbo was banging in jail. If I want to pay to see inmates pump up I would just...........(use your own clever whit here)
Still the only BB mag worth buying. I just wish he'd lose the Cormier, Henry and the god-awful Badell collumn. Brutally comical...you got Henry claiming how big and strong he is in every issue with a reference to the Hammer Strength Incline Press...you got Gustavo with his arrogance about how he wouldnt ever fathom and looks down upon anyone who would use a belt or take a day off from the gym to rest or use lifting straps or PRETEND like he has never heard of Skip LaCour...fkn phony and then you got Cormier...well...exactly!
The Weekend w/ Ronnie is kind of gay...Ron Harris knows how to stretch out an article.
I do like the writing of John Romano and Dave Palumbo though...however...despi te what Romano says...Louie is still a fkn TOOL.
Why does every month that Bleckman starts this thread releasing the latest cover of MD that it becomes a MD VS Flex bash? He didn't say anything about Flex or that MD is better than Flex. Who cares? It should be props to Dexter Jackson for getting an awesome cover!
Once again MD puts another one of thier guys on the cover.
SAME OLD SHIT !
I think the fact that your roofline insinuates that MD is going to buy FLEX opens up that discussion, as if that wasn't the intention. Though it would be nice if people who wanted to buy FLEX bought FLEX and people who wanted to buy MD did so also.
Thanks Romano (everyone knows who you are)
It's so funny some of you think I'm Romano. He thinks it's funny too. So does Jimmy Mentis.
no i don't....i personally don't care who you are if you don't post with your real name.hhaha
no i don't....i personally don't care who you are if you don't post with your real name.
Yes, you do!
Monster desperate in seeking attention
ok Melissa ..I do...feel better???? goodnight sweetheart!!!
Goodnight sweetie :-*
and your problem is???
I was so happy when Dexter told me he'd decided to do the Olympia. I know that was a tough decision, considering he still has a bitter taste in his mouth, but I think it was the right one because I think he'll do well. The judges have been rewarding the smaller aesthetic physiques in 2006, including Phil Heath, Colorado Pro and NY Pro winner, Ironman winner Lee Priest and runner up David Henry and Australian Pro champion Ronny Rockel. Who knows what could happen? Ronnie could come in off, or Jay might not be at his best - and let's not forget, Dexter has beaten Jay before!
And let me tell you, the Dexter you're going to see at the Olympia is going to be a Dexter you have never seen before. Training three days a week is a thing of the past. Dexter's training harder than he's ever trained before with Marcus Haley - a hardcore, heavy lifting, pro bodybuilder trying to qualify for the O.
Training with Marcus you're going to see a Dexter as good or better than his all-time best. I predict this will be his all-time best. He's got no distractions, he's training heavy with a serious training partner who's got the eye of the tiger himself. Dexter told me he's never been pushed like this. And that's exactly what Dexter needs, because he hasn't reached his full potential yet. He's an untapped genetic freak. He's a mutant freak who never trained as hard as this in his life. Right now, he's ranked third in the world and he's beaten Jay before. Who knows? Ronnie and Jay have to control their guts, so this could be a surprise. What if Dexter comes in bigger than ever, in his best condition, with that tiny waist? He could do damage.
Bullshit.. Dexter decided to join Mr. O this year is because the Rhallenge Round is not going to affect the overall standing.. Else he would again lose to Gustavo "100% natural" BadellWTF is a Rhallenge Round? is that before or after the first rallouts? ;D

Blah, blah, blah...
Spoke to a very reliable source in the distribution business. This is the latest market share breakdown via newstand sales, as they said.
1 FLEX Magazine has a 49.5%
2 Muscle Mag has a 18.5%
3 Ironman Magazine has a 16.5%
4 Muscular Development has a 15.5%
Now as for subscription, we are not sure. But they did say that Flex is ABC audited, and MD is not. That explains also why FLEX's ad rates are higher...
Interesting...
And I know a guy who said blah blah blah. Nice source Ron. I'm calling bullshit on this. Everything these mags do on getbig is just to slam eachother. But I will give it to MD's posters for at least offering up credible resources for the info they drop on us here.
This reads to me like you getting a call from the AMI camp asking for assistance cause the MD guys have been killing them with fact supported information on your board. What's glaringly obvious is that you've got Musclemag and Ironman ahead of MD. I'd like to see the info on that. Those mags are never discussed anywhere. Tough to believe to say the least.
Flex is taking a bath and yet they are that far ahead of the pack? How do the others even stay in business?
To quote you..."Interesting"
