Holy shit, I used to hang at the Methuen Mall too! Buying musclemags at bookstores always felt skeevy.

It did, and still does  ;D

Nothing worth buying these days at least...

Methuen Mall was great, York Steak House, F'in loved that place...

I used to lift at the Golds, just up 213 on 28 in Salem. Man, I loved that gym.

The Muscle and Fitness that had the 1996 Olympia report.

I didn't buy any mags the first year i trained i thought i'd look like a dick buying one.

i bought flex in 2010 i think
80% of the mag is filled with advertisment
articles are mostly worthless
costed a fortune
not mentioning the shame buying such material

Each purchase is several lifetimes worth of shame.

Even with chicks on the cover, it's still a "muscle mag". Also, I happen to really like the look of fitness-chicks, but to the civilian population (and to 75% of getbiggers) that's the same as being a full-on homo.

Nope, even the "swimsuit edition" comes with a heathy heap of shame. Hell, when you buy the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition, the old lady taking your money knows that you are probably not even gonna make it back to your car before you need to crack one off.
