For some reason when my neice and nephew 7 and 8 come to stay with me I always put the bodybuiling mags away so they can't look at them. For some reason I think its inappropriate for them to read them. But when I hear some of you guys say its a legitimate sport and should be respected as such I wonder what I am so worried about. I don't put other sport magazines away, they have seen swimmers in bathing suits and shirtless surfers but for some reason I don't want them to see bodybuildesr. If its a legitimate healthy sport why not let them look at the mag? Is it some irrational fear I have? Anyone have any thoughts similiar experience? Do any pros out there let their kids see those mags and if not why?
MTV will f**k up your kids mind more than any bodybuilding magazine

LOL...I'll bet you heard that from Earl...don't worry, he thinks that bodybuilders are athletes!

bb mags inspire. they show what the human body is capable of and display them as the results of hard work and intuitive nutrition/training regimes.
I'd say the old mags had more artistic merrit, but the modern one's are more impressive. either way, nothing wrong with letting kids look at them

Preach it, bro. >:(

Is it the magazine itself you don't want them to see or the magazine cover 'cause I know some of them can be a lil' risque for a 7 year old.

you've got some issues, Intensone - your constant attack on bodybuilding being a sport screams "past trauma/failed dream"

Bodybuilding is not a sport
"Past trauma/failed dream"? I have never considered it a sport...ever. Has nothing to do with what I have or have not accomplished!
Nobody wants their kid thinking Daisy Dukes/workboots are proper attire for society.
Fucking A. Preach it, bro. >:(
/you melted down for both of us :D
Start worrying if the pages of your kid's bodybuilding mag are stuck together.
Oh yeah, and I hate anything MMI, Muscle Tech or Eas because when I was young and stupid I wasted too many bones on their supps...I'm still mad when I think about how poor I was back then. They really scam the kids, I think. >:(
Most of them are because they are practically porn magazines. Instead of focusing on how to train, eat, and on the athletes themselves they have tons of pictures of women in provocative poses. They also have ads for homosexual videos and other fetish videos. Bottom line, they are hyper-sexual and that is what makes them inappropriate.

Its mostly the pics in the magazine and cover. The pics portray an extreme over the top reality. Yea a lot of it is risque and some might say it is all risque.The images are just too much to soon for some little kid. Maybe Im being overprotective and old fashioned but it all just seems to intense for kids. How does a kid understand a guy with 23 inch bi's or a girl with huge breasts and 1 percent fat. Will it really screw up their own body image.

who knows what kids will be into..just be ready for anythingThat's true. They are curious lil' monsters. :D
That's true. They are curious lil' monsters. :D
But I don't have to worry about that. ;D
Before internet and all the bodybuilding sites, I couldn't wait for the latest Flex or even MM2K, before it went commercial. Now the only times I get a mag is on a flight. Even now the info seems like ancient history when you've seen it all on the net. How many "Blast Your Bi's" story's can you read and only to find out most of them are 6 page adds for a Muscle Tech product. And the Swim suit and lingerie issues aren't approperate for 12 year olds.
well u have no clue what u are missingBelieve me, I have an idea. :P

Didn't I just say that? :)
Anyway, the bottom line is this: if you have to ask if BB mags are inappropriate for little kids you already know the answer.

not bad
What's fucked up is shit like that is so true because most people when they see an almost nude muscle man their minds first think sexually about it before ever taking notice of what's really there physique wise.
LOL.. I wish these magazines were more upfront about the drug use in bodybuilding, it would really save a lot of kids from heartbreak years later, not to mention all the money they could save thinking creatine and glutamine will make them look like their heroes.
