Why the latest issue of MD was so bad in your opinion? Thanks for feedback.

Well to be honest the training section is what usually attracts my attention. When I saw that hardcore workout by Ronnie Coleman in the flex.. those pictures where just sick! Plus there was some feedback from the previous Olympia winners (even though its ghost written). I would like to see more hardcore shots with them training like maniacks and some physiques of the past. Maybe even a couple of comparisons with the past vs future.

I like the supplemental review but come on...you reviewed GAKIC last month and said there's no financial tie to the article which is BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  You magazine is LOADED with Muscle Tech adds and it's funny that it's the one to get positive reviews almost like an add for it.   

I do like the idea though

Well, thanks for feedback but I don´t have any kind of financial relationship with MuscleTech. However, GAKIC just happens to have solid scientific data supporting its anti-fatigue properties. You can double-check all the literature references: www.pubmed.com

The simply reason why commericial products reviewed in "Sports Supplement Product Review" generally get good reviews is that I chose only products that I personally feel are good. In my view, it doesn´t make sense to review absolutely useless products ("This stuff sucks, so don´t buy it. Case closed."). However, if some day a supplement company sends me a sample bottle of donkey ball extract then I will publish a very negative review!

I am a huge fan of MD and plan to do article-by-article in depth reviews of the mag each month.  If I wasn't backlogged about 50 bodybuilding DVDs to review I would have it up already.
