Any others read the BOBservations column in FLEX

[Aaron Singerman]

I do and find Bob Chicks practical tips/insight some of the better ones out there. I liked his last one where he talks about how "balls to the walls" psycho training may NOT be the smartest way to bodybuild in the long run. I remember legend Lee Haney always saying something similar.
I also took his advice on reg barbell squats and benches and now avoid them.
At age 50 those kind of movements are NOT worth the risk of serious injury.
If I can simply maintain the mass I have and get leaner , I will be thrilled.

One of the ONLY columns I read in FLEX.

LOL, very funny
Ya why would we want to discuss actual training tips from a pro in a FLEX column. A bodybuilding board is so much better served  with threads about "who owned who" in some pissing contest

Pros are steroid monkeys.

Gayer than trying to ungay a thread from Howard.

LOL, the ironic thing is that the same folks that crack on the pros for 'roid use are often the same ones that scream , how it would ruin the sport if they cut back on drugs....hmmmmmmmm.

But we don't read words from *pros* in columns. We read the words of ghost writers, mascarading as *pros.*

You mean the column written by some ghost writer?

Are you saying that "Muscular Development Magazine" should be renamed "The Collected Writings of Ron Harris, with a Prologue by Steve Blechman and a Rambling Interlude by a Brainless Oil-bag" ?

I honestly think the BOBservations column is written by Bob Chick. It sounds just like him when you speak to him at expos. Sure, some stuff is ghost written based on what they know from the pros they speak to.
If it is a good article with sound advice, who cares if Bart Blowfart actually wrote it

Because it is ripping people off. They inply that the article(s) are written buy newbie's heros, to sell more magazines, wheras they are written by authors that would not sell a magazine if it were known that they were the true authors.

Yeah, but based on Dexter's victory speeches, what other choice do we have?

Ok , I have spoken with Ron Harris and some publishers about this "ghost writter issue".
What happens is they get feedback, info, etc directly from the pro (a call ) and then write it based on THAT with their own unique writting style with proper grammer, syntax, etc
Reporters often do the same thing when they write a lead for a newspaper.
Sometimes a pc gets recycled , like Arnold's training from his heyday in the 70's.
They still attribute the pc to ARNOLD however. Sure they cut/paste some training pics that were not exactly like the article , but you get the idea.

To me the real "crime" is when some top pro endorses a supplement they never use and the ad is all over the mags.
That has got to be some of the worst cases of "false/misleading" ads I ever saw.
I am honestly surprised it is legal hehehe
