OK this is going to seem like I am just saying this, but Muscle Mag has always been my favorite bodybuilding mag. I have back issues from years ago. The last Mag I bought before this past issue of course was Flex simply for the Matt Mendenhall interview.
Musclemag was the BEST mag back in the day for sure.
I'm talking 1981-1986 or so.
They actually just followed guys around and took pics of them training and they actually set down their REAL workouts and REAL weights.
There was a great series on albert beckles by garry barlett in 1983 or so.
albert only did 4 sets of 2 exercises each for biceps and triceps with pretty low weights, high reps and very fast rep speed.
