Great post Flex, welcome aboard, please answer question...Enjoy..The kindness doesn't last long on here !! You have another 2 to 3 good post's ..before you start getting your ass torn into !
Are you going to EVER return to bodybuilding?
I still feel that there are too few babes in MD.I could not agree with you more. My wife and I back the womens bodybuilding 100%. We feel that they should have the same amount of outlets as men do to generate more money for there families. You did not hear it from me. But, there is talk of having a woman bodybuilder on the cover of MD in the future.
Like a spreadsheet of Jen Searles' assing.

JR,
Great job on the air Monday night. I think that you did a fantastic job defending yourself and getting your point across. I agree that all of this needs to be put to bed and move on for the benefit of the sport. I think that this is a loose, loose situation. Big Ups to you. Shawn, loved your comment about the ninjas. That was a low blow. I would low blow you back, but I"d end up hitting you in the nose. Regarding your comment about what I said about MD over four years ago, is somewhat true. But, MD has evolved since then. Now, it is a very respectable magazine who give athletes a chance to make money for photo shoots and interviews. Speaking of money, I find it interesting that you failed to mention that you repeatedly begged SB for a job. I distinctively remember having conversations with you asking for SB to give you a call back. Hey JR, I recall a time when Shawn came by and introduced himself to the table of the MD crew. At that time SB had adviced us that he had been calling him for a job. John, do you remember your exact words? Anyway, my point is this. I feel that the sport needs all of the coverage that it can get. I feel that it is all of our responsibility to put something back into the sport that has given us all so much. There are some guys that work for AMI that I have the utmost respect for and MD is my home. Lets stop fighting against each other and start fighting for each other. One!
Thanks Kenny for clearing that up.C U in a few weeks.. shorty.
I did speak with Steve about possibly coming on board with him with "Intentions" of helping to clean up the magazine, it never happend and the rest is history.
By the way that was 2 years ago and you were barely writing for them, as you complained about the Graphics in the magazines and the Curse words they used to promote themselves.
You wouldn't even show your wife the articles because of the Cartoons and Nudity but your right, they've gotten better.
I didn't attack Steve or John, I stated my opinion which John do so eloquently as well.
We agree to disagree sometimes but dialogue is good and the "Ninjia Story" was the one you spoke of at the show and magazines not me.
I just remembered it, as tragic as it was, it prevented you from competing in 1997 remember? Meaning, anything can happen before the show and it ain't over til the fat lady sings.
That being said, I agree, the fighting between magazines and jouralists needs to be put to bed and the promotion of our industry as a whole needs to be at the sports best intrest. Besides, the battle of the Boards is much more interesting.
good luck with the magazine Steve, John and Flex! Looking forward to a better product from you guys down the road.
We all have opinions and I'm entitled to mine.
Peace,

Time for a group hug. I know I can get Flex and John to hug. Now what about Shawn? Then we can work on everybody, and concentrate on an excellent Olympia Weekend where the fireworks will be on the stage, not between the magazines...
Ron, don't forget BayGBM in that hug.
You're weird.
...and stalking me.
Oh yea, I remember him. His name was Joey. Kinda slow, dopey kid who was in the "special" class with the bibs and padded helmets.
/sarcasm
Yeah, sorry. I don't pay much attension to the O's...and am too lazy to look up your reference...and too tired and trying to figure out a good payment gateway for a client while typing here.
I had my BF% measured back in '93 by Joey at the local Golds Gym and it was 0.0%! Man, was Joey surprised!
