Yep, Flex and it's writers lost the plot a long time ago. While we're at it. Has anyone else had a problem over the years with this crap that appears in Flex and M&F :

"Strive for excellence, exceed yourself, love your friends, speak the truth, practice fidelity and honor your father and mother. These principles will help you master yourself, make you strong, give you hope and put you on the path to greatness" - Joe Weider.

Has anyone else ever thought that Uncle Joe is trying to put across a Christ like ten commandments type spiel on how we should live our lives ?.

Julian Schmidt's been writing for FLEX since sometime in the 80's.  I used to learn lots of new words from Julian's articles, such as:

 - Frisson
 - Cannonade
 - Epaulet (used in reference to Greg Kovacs' oddly lumpy shoulders in one show)

...those are off the top of my head, I forget the rest.

Do you get the feeling 'Julian' has thought up a few other words in private to describe his 'clients', Dan-O??

That's Julian Schmidt for you...

You got a great thing going with your Webcasts, Interviews and all that shizzle. Keep it up.

Julian Shit is everything you shouldn't want to be. Diarrhea of seldom used words, and a boring writing style in general as well, no sting.

I read about 1000 words of that before I realised it had more to do with one man's muscular wet dream than anything of substance about training.

Yeah I remember all his articles in flex back in the 90's *when I used to read it*, he was always a bit odd. Seems to REALLY like oily musclemen.

Precisely, they may as well wrap Flex in plastic and put it in the porn section.

hahaha, I actually like FLEX for that reason.  I always find myself learning a new word or finding a use for it in Shawn Perrine's work.

I have a friend named Julian in fact.  He is on MSN right now.  His name is:

"Julian...drinking from the sweet man-gravy-boat of success"

Discuss.

Fixed that for you  ;)

Are you saying that "Julian" is doing a poor job of disguising his muscle-man fantasies?
