plus, I do have a time machine, but I only use it for good

Can you go back to 1980 and put mentzer's name on the Mr O trophy?

[thisiskeith12]

I've been banned there once simply because they knew I was with PBW.


But then they reinstated me....

You'd need painkillers too if your trophy was stolen.

LOL.. I just got banned at MD for posting the covers!

You have been banned for the following reason:
Troll

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

MD is very quick to ban for reasons I never quite fathom, I wonder whose next

I don't think they liked my post.. I thought FLEX was their competition not M&F?

God, that's so sad.


Talk about insecure.....

The first one's really good. I wonder how accurate the sizing is. Something tells me the BB version of Arnie should be just a touch larger/taller, but maybe not (he's shrunk since then).

would sell better if arnold wasn't wearing clothes with his current look

[Pollux]

I have the cutouts

I hate you! 

[Pollux]

When I saw the cover I was in awe! The shit was so fuckin' great! Muscle & Fitness have outdone themselves with this cover! Way to go! 

Now this cover is "fantastic". I haven't seen Arnold strike this pose since...well, 1975. 

[Pollux]

What the hell kind of shoes is Arnold wearing

The kind you can't afford. 

[HUGEPECS]

I gotta stop by Barnes and nobles to take a look. very creative cover

I'm sure Cara will be happy to clear things up, must be a misunderstanding.

I had stopped bying M&F ever since Arnold left as editor...I was pissed when they did the pole position survey and Dina won and then they switched editors and it never showed...anyway, I couldn't resist the cover yesterday, I can't wait to read the what..30 pages about Arnold...but then it will be no more M&F for me....unless they put Dina on the cover!

why does everyone think everything is "shopped"...

of course we do clean up stuff to the image, bring out saturation etc, but even though Arnold may not be in BB shape or anything, and he did just come off of a broken leg, he still looks awesome for 60, and it's pretty obvious that is really him....if we had photoshopped him we would have done more to him.

Also, Arnold never left as an editor of the mag, he is still very much involved in his columns every month...it was the payment part that changed...he does them for free now just to stay in touch with the BB community.

so what happened to the pole position contest? I have switched to Flex so I kept it in the family...I like the deal on Stephanie from Survivor, would like to have seen more of an article on her..she is in great shape

Pole Position was simply one of the articles that was taken out when the editorial direction shifted back to being more of a training magazine. Pole Position was more of a fluff piece, rather than what M&F was known for, and even though it did feature Dina, a Pro competitor, it was felt that comparing the Fitness/Figure women to exotic dancers wasn't the way to go. M&F tries to portray the women as athletes, but who can still be sexy, rather then blatantly going that route.

The HotBod section where Stephenie was featured is also more now geared towards female athletes/personalities in other sports and fields that have an athletic look to them (but still hot). If you were into M&F Hers, there will be more Stephenie in an upcoming issue.

Glad to hear you didn't go to far, and are a FLEX reader
