Why people still buy bodybuilding magazines is beyond me.
I remember buying a pair of Muscular Development & Flex magazines back in 2000 and found them both to be utter garbage.
Muscular development was composed of 15 pages of muscle cartoons, followed by 10 pages of ghost written articles and then 200 pages of useless advertising, which would then culminating with a 3 page ramble from Valentino. The worst part is that they would always tout on their covers how their present issue was the biggest one up to date; when in reality their useless magazine was 90% advertisements and 10% garbage anyway.
Flex tried to have a little more integrity, but when you have an article supposedly written by Ronnie Coleman where he uses words that could only be attributed to a literature major, it starts to smell like shit.
Both magazines went crazy with their photoshopped covers, not to mention their pricing scheme.
Pure garbage..
