Julian Schmidt (aka our very own Kahn n Singh  ;)) was one of my faves - guaranteed I'd need a thesaurus each time I read his florid prose (e.g. Lou Ferrigno's 'stentorian roar' when training)


 ;D

According to Flex Magazine, Julian Schmidt died in 2015. Kahn n Singh is still posting on Getbig recently. Can't be the same guy.

From Anne Byron McGough

On Tuesday 29th December, 2020  just before 3pm, Peter McGough sadly passed away peacefully at home after an 8 year battle with Cancer fighting right to the end . He was my one true love, my soulmate and my best friend I am truly heartbroken. Peter touched so many lives, he was a great storyteller, journalist and friend to all. He made a huge impact on the world. I have asked two of his very close friends to write a more fitting memorium as I am unable to do so at the moment. I cannot tell you how much Peter and I have appreciated from the bottom of our hearts the love and support we have received from family, friends and all of our facebook friends. His imlact on the world will live on in our hearts amd minds. I love you all. Please excuse me for not replying to your comments right now but I promise I will fead them all and reply when I am able.


Those of us who once aspired to be a muscle magazine writer know how fickle that occupation is. Goodness knows what some of those guys had to do to get and keep their jobs. It wasn't that long ago that Shawn Perine was chosen ahead of Peter McGough to head Flex magazine. Perhaps Peter's health had something to do with that decision. I agree that Peter was respected in the Iron Game. According to most here editors are quickly forgotten by readers.

I thought you've been around long enough to know the correct spelling of Shawn's name, Vince, not the incorrect way some people spelled it on this forum when Shawn passed.

It's Shawn Perine, with one r.
