Contest coverage three months later was good enough in 1986. Not so good in 2016.

Arnold on the cover again?

I bet he is honored!

Furthermore, the current top pro's probably feel humbled to share such a spotlight with the enviable Arnold!

Just goes to show how far bodybuilding has fallen.

Imagine ESPN magazine having Joe Nameth on the cover instead of Cam Newton  before the Superbowl.

And then Joe Namath 2 months later. Then a special edition of Joe Namath a couple months after that. And repeat.

Its a shitty analogy. I have not heard Joe Namaths name mentioned within the last 6 months anywhere.

Arnold is a bodybuilder, actor, producer, former governor, and is still actively involved in bodybuilding (AS Classic). Thus, it makes sense why he would still be on the cover of bodybuilding magazines. Hes just a lot more famous than joe namath.

Sure, the print industry has taken a huge hit. But if it's something worth reading that you're not going to get anywhere else, there's a market for it. FLEX and MD put out the same shit month after month, year after year. That's why their sales suck balls. Plus they do shit ass backwards, using their print magazines to plug the websites and digital versions instead of the other way around.

Weider lies for a living. All the years I bought their mags and was led to believe that the guys in there built their bodies naturally, only to find out years later at a Dorian Yates seminar that each and every one of them was cheating. Weider even warned its readers about the "dangers" of steroid use. The writers are such liars. I don't care if their bullshit mags come to an end.
