Gaspari & Labrada on covers 2016

[Pet shop boys]

Flex magazine July/ausgust and M&D May 2016  Gaspari and Labrada ....


If in the summer of 89' when Labrada and Gaspari were fan favorites to knock Haney down , you would have told me that some 27 years later they were going to be back on covers of bodybuilding publications  I'd say no way !

But it happened ....

Want another proof that nobody cares about 5x MrO Phil and that current bodybuilding is dead?



WooooSSHHHHHH

[Dr Dutch]

Paper Mags are dead. That plus PH is narrow..

[BB]

Older guys (45 +) are probably the last folks left buying mags too, so I expect a lot more classic bodybuilding issues.

[Anglo]

The bodybuilding "press" seem to be catering for the schmoealistic nostalgists who bought the okie-doke before the peptite era.

Personalizes gold sneekers, LV man-bags and customised "lion rings" just don't appeal to those here before generation nothingness

Really?  I'm in that demographic and I haven't bought a BB magazine since the early 1990s.

I think so, I rarely see anyone (young or older) bother with the fitness mags outside of say something like Men's Health, but when I do it's usually an older guy, and the only ones that seem to follow the print mags are the hardcore older meat heady types.

I think it's sorta like the printed  porn industry, mostly dead, but a few places/mags are sustained by the stragglers.

Wooshhh  comparing today's bodybuilding with porn is beyond depressing....

However; While printed magazines are fading I think most are missing the point,

You see a baseball magazine Summer 2016; and they feature the current sluggers and pitchers on cover, not the all star players from 25 plus years ago ....

Admit it ! Philsulin and the rest f today's bodybuilding "stars" are not inspiring or entertaining at all .



WoooSHHHHHHH

I bought one bodybuilding mag in my life, and it was only because Arnold was on it.

And probably like most people , because you knew Arnold from the movies



WooSHHHHH

[Pet shop boys]

One thing is for sure, Labrada is more of an ideal bodybuilder"  than 5XMR.O Phil .



WoooSHHHHHHHHHH

The articles are dead too. Just looking at that cover, "more mass killer workout", "blast your arms", "10 ways to slash fat", another secret abs workout, etc  Stuff was old 40 years ago.

But that is bodybuilding in general, as an activity , you can say same thing about any other "sport' activity .... only difference is that today's bodybuilders are not good enough for the job.



WoooSHHHHHHHHHHH

[Nether Animal]

Gaspari's veins make up most of his arm circumference....

[Dr Dutch]

Really?  I'm in that demographic and I haven't bought a BB magazine since the early 1990s. 

Me too ! 


Well, I bought my last one about 5 yrs ago I guess.....

[The Scott]

With the exception of a mag with Reeves and/or Arnold on the cover a few years ago, it's been over 30 years or so.  I cannot recall when I bought that last mag, dammit!    They've become supplement catalogs and their informative content is worthless (as if it ever truly was!  ).

GASPARI'S BIGGEST 220 PLUS ,,HIS LOWER BODY WAS BETTER THAN LEE'S...LEE WAS SUPERIOR GENETICALLY/SHAPE WISE OVER RICH TENFOLD..

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Those guys pay to be put on the cover these days. Kinda like DLB's hubby paid for her Olympia win...

[jude2]

Labarda has a very pleasing physique.

[Rambone]

Wow, they still look incredible! Both of them must've stole O'Hearn's fountain of youth elixir out of his gym bag when his dog wasn't looking.

[Danimal77]

I bought a bodybuilding magazine as late as 2008/2009 (I'm 38 years old).

still does.

[Eric2]

I'm in that demographic as well.Have not bought a new muscle mag since the 1990s. They are so predictBle, spring issues always speak of shredding for the summer. Fall issues speak of powering up the weights and wearing sweats. The new mags are all adds at best.I still have ever mag I bought since the mid 70s.

[jude2]

still does.

Agreed.  That tell a lot about the BB.
