He used to rant about how much better FLEX was, then he jumps ship and signs with a competitor.

Who cares ?! magazine are a dying format, I'd much rather play with the apps on my iphone or catch up news (that's actually current) then read about it a month later in a paper magazine, hell even Amazon came out now with a book reader tablet that's lighter and more convenient (built in backlight) then a paper book.

Magazines have been supposedly "dying" ever since I came to GetBig, back in 2003.

Yes, the major decline in sales started around then apparently. No idea if that's true although I recall AMI being in some serious debt.

The offered him a BIGGER paycheck. Gotta keep your pockets FAT these days. It's always nice to have a HUGE ASS wallet.

Not Ironman Magazine. MuscleMag International Magazine is where Peter is writing for now.

Change at direction in Flex after the 2008 Olympia - Peter resigned, sold his house here in Woodland Hills, and moved to Florida and took a nice vacation, and relaxed. However, Peter is one of the best writers out there, and MuscleMag offered him a chance to write and enjoy without the stress and daily grind there was of being the main guy.

Sometimes being the main guy with all the stress, worriness and more isnt the most fun.

Anyway, you can see Peter's latest articles in MMI, whom, coincently is run by Bill Geiger, who used to work for Peter.

It boggles the mind that someone who is the 'head' writer in regards to bodybuilding could be so obese and out of shape...pure irony right there.

maybe he just enjoys looking at the male physique...nothing gay about that, right?
