Remember "Muscular Development-Fitness-Health/All-Natural Muscular Development"?

[oldschoolfan]

i remember to when they went all natural , how each month in there magazine for awhile they would compare twinlabs stock to weiders stock price,

it was funny .

I was going through my old MD magazines and found some of these in my stash.

Steve Blechman vowed never to feature any more steroid-using bodybuilders in his magazine again.

John Romano claimed ANMD was getting hate mail because most of the bodybuilders featured were black, "All-Black MD, African Development" was a line supposedly used against the publication.

This was done largely as a reaction to the death of Andreas Munzer.

Many of the covers though had fitness girls, no bodybuilders, natural or not-so-natural.

Anyone else have some of these oldies in their garage?

Yet they featured a then unknown Ernie Taylor (1996) with his then  (claimed) 22 inch arms.

That was during the MDFH mode (They were still featuring IFBB pros but were hammering the drug use and also pushing the TU guys). I have that one, too. I believe fitness champ Jacquie Wang is on the cover of that one.

OOPS! I got Taylor mixed up with J.D. Dawodu. Taylor is in the June 1996 issue with some pinup girl from the Michael Scott agency on the cover.

The one sticking her ass out is Alexey's girlfriend. Very pretty girl too!

I assume those were maxes. Greene reps with 500 on the bench press now. Heck, he probably inclines 500.

Kai's max for a bench now is probably near the mid-500's so there is no way he was hitting anywhere near 500 as a natty teen.
800lb squat? LOL. Doubt Kai has ever attempted that even at his biggest and most juiced - nothing resembling legitimate depth anyway.

It's common for BB's to exaggerate their strength.

Yeah I know, that the only reason why I watch videos with Alex

You picked Shonna McCarver over Cindy Margolis as your extreme meat-beating cover of choice.

Most guys were ga-ga over Margolis back in the day, not that McCarver isn't cute, just an observation.

He looked lanky (relatively speaking). I'd put him at 210-215.

[The Grim Lifter]

I assume you mean turning pro in the IFBB, as he was already a pro in the WNBF. At the time of that ANMD article, Greene won the WNBF Pro Mr. Universe.

He won the Team Universe in 1999, before it was a pro qualifier. But he didn't get grandfathered into the IFBB when the rule change was made in 2003, which allowed Greg Rando and Skip LaCour (who won the TU in 2001 and 2002 respectively) to turn pro. Rando did; LaCour didn't.

How the fuck was Greg Rando so big naturally, also amazing since he was blind? There is no way he was natural. Shocked at how big he was.
