Bodybuilding mags suck!
« on: March 22, 2007, 01:15:45 PM »
How many fuckin leg routines can you read before they all read the same.  Even the cover of the mag will have some bullshit claim

"THE BEST LEG WORKOUT SECRETS REVEALED"

You read it and its the same shit

3-4 sets squats,
3-4 sets leg curls
3-4 sets leg extensions
2 sets walking lunges
calves.

Where's the fuckin secret?
Its the same crap withe very body part.  What is so fuckin secret about doing squats to build legs?  If you didn't know this "secret" then you need more help than a freaking magazine.

Meltdown over.  Proceed to post!

Chick promotes these mags.  I had to get out of my basement to read it and then put it back on the stand without paying $6.99 for bb secrets revealed.

One day I want the headline to read "BB SECRETS REVEALED"

and open the mag and see listed

deca
clomid
GH
..........

Now that would be the truth told.

Yes, no "crazy hardcore" routine is going to drastically change your physique more than others.  Diet above all will help first, drugs second, how hard you push on a routine third.
I love when someone tells me about a "crazy" leg routine that would floor me.  Of course, if you do 700 supersets for quads, you'll be sore as hell and probably pass out.  Major brainwork there..hahah

I agree... mags are fairly boring because none of the pros have spunk today. Nothing is entertaining about them. Most of them are all the same. Very boring. Along with all the recycled articles it makes it drab.

every issue is the same, the same routines listed, the same techniques, the same bullshit from pros how they built their "massive pecs and delts" from using only free weights.  its really sad when the laughable supplement adds are more interesting than the magazine content.  i suggest browsing them in the bookstore and then putting them back and spending your money on something useful.  
all those magazines should have an HONESTY issue where they really tell the stuff everyone wants to know.

In all honesty I would say that there is 1 full page of useful info per 500 pages of magazine.  I make a page of notes maximum from every 500 page MD or Flex, the rest is garbage unfortunately.  I cant take my eyes away from the car crash though.

Most articles tagged with the words ''secret'' are usually bull shit

Theres no secrets just hard work patience and good diet, drugs, if you have those you'll do well even with the most stinking genetics


''revealed'' .... ''secrets'' ... ''we show you how'' ''7 secrets'' ''10 tips'' = all bull shit ..
its all so convienent and come in pocket-size format

''10 tips for mass''
''fifteen secrets for huge legs''
''the secrets about xxx - what you thought you knew but didnt!''

and the worst one of all, not as common in the mainstream magazines but ive seen it, and it burns me up everytime i see or hear the damn thing ....

''your overtraining!''


These miserable bastards are the reason most beginners fall short on their ass half-way into their journey, which was otherwise very productive. Sure, some forget exercises or leave out the ones they dont like but eventually they get the hang of it. too late, They now start to question everything, and in search for the truth end up some obsessive lifter who takes in scoops of protein powder every 2 hours in the belief he'll become a beast. They hear about how casein is great to use before sleep because your body doesnt spare your precious muscle protein. But nothing in moderation, this guy literally thinks his 16" pipes will disappear overnight now.  one day he forgets his ''1 scoop casein'' before bed and gets so stressed he might as well just jump off a bridge its so pathetic.

Ive never in my life purchased a bodybuilding magazine of any sort and im glad i did not buy into the hype, sure ive dabbled in no-explode and other expensive junk but i wont make that mistake again


Thanks!

no reason to buy these mags, there are places around me where you can sit and read them all for the price of a cup of coffee. WHy pay for one?
