MuscleMag - 300th anniversary issue

[timfogarty]

I believe MuscleMag started publishing in 1974. They were quarterly at first. Issue 300 marks the 34th year.

While the word anniversary technically means a yearly occurrence, it doesn't matter, as we all know what is means.

one would think someone who publishes a magazine would know the correct use of the language in which they publish

Right now I think Flex has become the worst.  All they have is nice pics, there articles are garbage.

[Pollux]

it's not even a magazine anymore, it's just a catalog for Muscle Tech supplements. 

Bingo!

MuscleMag first came out in 1707... excellent. I remember the big Sir Walter Raleigh v. Benjamin Franklin issue. Sir Walter was tight, but Benjamin was much better.

It reminds me of an article that Bob Kennedy wrote in an issue not too long ago titled something along the lines of "blast your lowers" - even though "lower biceps" do not exist anywhere in human anatomy.

Then again, FLEX is guilty of the same...

Read MMI from day one, when Zulak sold out I stopped buying it, Still read the old ones though. When Branch Warren was a teen. Bob Chic was a Deputy Sheriff.

I agree. The old "Uncensored" column was great...until about 2000-2001 when Zulak started to disguise muscletech plugs for actual advice.

LOL. Would have been aces if you used guys actually alive at that time.

I hope Lee's association with Muscle Mag works out.  He has had a string of bad luck over the past year and hopefully 2007 is a lot brighter.

Lee has made some poor choices over his career; the face tatoo, his marriage to Cathy desintergrating, the Adela fiasco, manic behaviour and the termination of lucrative contracts, just to name a few.

Hope everything goes well for the little guy. He deserves a break!

You guys all forget that Tom Paine got SCREWED at that show. He should have won. I've seen the illustrations. His loss helped fuel his drinking.

Dude, you're crazy. No way did he get screwed. I saw Paine coming in 5th at best.

   I guess you're right. I think Sir Walter might have been dead, and Ben Franklin wasn't born yet. Oh well, it was still a great issue.

Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac was coming out that year. The publishers needed him to place high to promote the publication. That's why Franklin placed above Paine.

I will not, however, dispute the Marquis de Lafayette's placing out of the top 10. He was way too smooth.

Yeah, it's not like accuracy is important or anything.  This IS the "bodybuilding industry", after all, not a real industry.

LOL why even call it an anniversary?
