ACTUALLY A COVER THAT DOSEN'T LOOK SHOPPED.

Traps were thickened and his head/face was made smaller. But I agree- not too shopped.

While I do feel that the print industry as far as bodybuilding publications go is certainly on shaky ground, having the same issue online will probably take over once they do finally disappear off the newsstand shelves. And the other online aspects, such as podcasts, videos and posts, will always have a market.

I am using the print issues of MuscleSport Magazine http://www.musclesportmag.com as more of a media kit of sorts as handouts at expos, gyms and supplement stores. The online version gets a much better response and there are no circulation, distribution or shipping costs incurred.

But as a whole, I am using the magazine as a bridge to the website, where we have also all of our big name columnists, radio show, videos, forum and articles. That is the aspect of the business that can not only survive, but thrive, as well.

With FLEX and MD, they are using their respective websites as bridges to the print magazines. They are not changing with the current climate and are obviously suffering as a result.

lol. Right I bet the first issue will have old black and white pics of Arnold or something no doubt. Guarantee this "magazine" will never see a 7-11 in my city and I can guarantee you will see old rehashed pics weve seen in Flex or some place else. The Arnold pics are a fact. Watch. Wont last 4 issues. lol

He needs the finished look. Phil has it. Ramy might need a few more years.

Yes, Phil does look like he's finished...

It has nothing to do with time, years means nothing, its about going deeper into contest prep. The look he brings is what he should look like 4 weeks out. He comes in at 290, if he came in at 270 while not sacrificing muscle, GAME OVER.

Look who showed up. The guy that doesn't pay on bets. You still owe me $100.00 and I won't let you forget it. It's the principle of it, I don't even need it. People that don't pay on bets are pieces of shit. Are you a piece of shit?

I'm not sure if you're referring to my publication, but it has been around since 2009 and I don't foresee spending money to put it on the newsstand (7-11 included) for the reasons I stated in my previous post.

We have never used a rehashed old black and white Arnold photo and never will. We don;t have the rights to such footage, anyway.

LOL! You're only a piece of shit if you don't pay on bets, so you determine you're a piece of shit or not.

Low class loser? LOL.
I dont want more. I want what we agreed on. Don't give me that emergency bullshit, We made that during the Olympia. September of last year. Helluva emergency and I've noticed you've been reviewing the board so nice try. You should expect this kind of aggression when you let debts go unpaid mothercanucker.

Trust me, I'm doing fine.It's the principle. Fucker. Don't be that guy to get butthurt when called on your debts. It's been September. If you make a bet with someone and lose, you pay that bet. You don't brush it off like it's nothing. It's a gentlemen's word. Do you understand what that is? You deserved the verbal lashing and I expected you to retaliate and to continue. Welcome to Getbig, give me my money. If you can't understand a gentleman's word then, you're not the man I thought you were.

MD is worse. Going from over 300 pages of hardcore BBing, to what it is now. Who buys mags now anyhow. I had the first issue of Flex and had a subscription to MD and Flex up until 5yrs ago.
