are there anything useful in the bodybuilding magazines today?
« on: February 11, 2009, 12:18:05 AM »
All of them seem to be supplement catalogues full of lies, why should I give money to see a 200 page supplement catalogue full of advertisements?
 "Take this supplement and you will look like Victor Martinez" 
how about something useful? something ground breaking?
it's all the same bullshit recycled, "weight training causes muscle growth" thanks, that is a useful tip ::)
how many of you buy an issue of Flex or MD every month?

Nothing useful "in" the magazines. "On" the magazines, you've got the price which is enough information.

The original musclemag 2000 was awesome.  It had that steroid doctor Pasquale guy, it spoke the truth about what was needed and it like every other mag turned to shit when it became a tool to promote EAS crap.

Well, these days, most of those Magazines are fucking trash. the current Flex claims 450 pages, but when you browse thru it, the first 35 pages are ADDS, and for every article, there are 10 pages of adds. what the fuck is going? no wonder I stop buying these fucking magazines all together.

The useful ones are the ones you roll up and use to hit your woman with when dinner is cold or not ready.

the problem is that they are in a catch 22 situation, they would be able to sell these magazins with less add but on the same time woudn't be able to substain the loss of advertisment payment.
So they need the advertisment in the mag to make up for less and less readers and subscriptions, as you can see the numbers of adds has gone up steadily,

I remember that back 2 or 1 year ago I counted the ads in MD
