MD's photoshopped covers
« on: August 02, 2009, 12:42:00 AM »
Does anyone else think MD's doctored cover photos are getting out of control?  Isn't Branch (and everyone else) freaky enough?  Why go so obviously overboard with the photoshopping? ???

Speaking of photoshopping covers... http://www.latimes.com/features/lifestyle/la-ig-photoshop2-2009aug02,0,194591,full.story

That one of Kai's legs is the worst. I'll try and find a pic of it. They love to use that sharpening tool.

Small pic but you get the idea. Almost looks like a cartoon cover.

why do people still keep buying bodybuilding mags, its like people still want to know that little secret of building monstrous arms and legs, it aint rocket science queers. just admit you buy them to jerk of to the pics, at least that could be a logical reason.

I bought a few issues of Flex when i was 13 to learn how to train/eat and i actually thought i would be able to look like Arnold etc. lmao, after a few months of training at 13 i quit weights because i made such little progress and didn't start training again till i was 17 lol and i accepted the fact that i would never look like that but i would just try to get the best physique i can naturally.

Yeah I mostly agree, I like the MD look, but with the covers they do the stretch/warp thing slightly too much sometimes, so that it's unrealistic and a tad insulting to those who can spot it's fake.

We don't need to. Blechman and the MD staff read Getbig all day long. Trust me...

 When 'Cara from MD' left she spilled the beans about the Getbig obsession in that office.

Exactly!  Slight retouching is expected but this trend of stretching and warping is over the top!  >:(
