yup, musclemag was always the best, jonny fitness had the best contest reviews, unbiased and true. ie he thought Shawn should have beat Dorian in 1994.
I was buying them from 1991 or so onwards.
stacey lynn and trish stratus where my golden honeys. i was born in 1983 so right around 2000 i was 17 and those girls were in all the mags.
also frank sepe was like WTF! dudes look like that - he and mike o hearn where 2 guys who got into training.
i loved musclemag first section. it was gear, training, sex etc etc - i remember reading about chris clark and pump N pose - lol mind blown as a kid.
they used to advertise the female wrestling videos in there. also man.... i really loved American Muscle on ESPN.
whenever i see tito raymond at golds i always tell him and adi rae were big inspirations to me.
