It was 10 years ago and I was really into bodybuilding and loved reading MD. Times have changed and so did I, learning the truth about bodybuilding really alters ones view.
I am not sure what the truth about bodybuilding is.
I used to subscribe to Men's health which is not exactly a bodybuilding magazine but there were some good articles about diet and exercise in it. After several years getting the subscription, it started seeming redundant, so I stopped it. I've never read MD, so I really cannot comment on that magazine. There are clearly some "bodybuilding" magazines on the newsstands that are anything but. I don't bother with those. I looked at that shit when I was a kid and somehow must have thought they were inspirational. When I was a kid, was a very long time ago. These were "physique" magazines and yes, they were pretty gay now that I think about it. Still I bought them with no guilt or sense that I was doing something that would cause strangers to label me. Actually, I pretty much have never given a shit what people I don't even know think about me.
Not that I know everything there is to know about bodybuilding, but I know enough to keep my workouts interesting fresh. I know enough to know what I should and should not eat, not that I follow a strict diet. If you've seen my photos, you already know this though. Anyway, I think a lot of the articles in bodybuilding magazines are not worth the paper they are printed on. You can learn more from talking with someone at the gym who has a good build and who seems to know their way around the weights and machines. Most of successful bodybuilding is just common sense, in my opinion.
