Is MD the only bodybuilding print magazine left?

[Roast Beef Pecs]

MuscleMag, Muscle and Fitness, Flex are gone. Ironman has been sold twice now and isn't even really about Bodybuilding anymore. MM2000 is long gone as is Strength and Health. It appears as though Muscular Development is the last of the Mohicans. Sad.

It is SAD as while we are in the so called DIGITAL AGE, I am not trying to read a magazine on a cell phone.

I like having an actual magazine in my hand when I travel... especially by plane/train.

I like during my lunch time I can thumb through magazines instead of constantly looking at a computer screen

And you are right that it is tragic how many magazines in the bodybuilding world have disappeared over the past few years, till now it seems only MD is around

I think we should all order Muscular Development subscriptions and help them stay afloat. I can't bear to lose another muscle magazine.

I think you meant the "Last of the Schmoehicans".

I renewer every month I used to run to the magazine store to get the new version of a Flex! Great memories!

I just flew back from a photo gig and a week ago when I was at the airport to depart, I saw a MD mag in the bookstore there.  It was about 1/4th the size it used to be.  Which means that advertisers are cutting back now on placing ads.   It was $6.99 I think.

I still have my "Colt Magazine" subscription.

That's a bodybuilding-mag.

Lol!!

I'm reminded of Ironage print runs of Muscular Development - 400+ pages, with 200-250 pages of ads. 

By 2017, it had thinned out to the size of a file folder.

Yeah, Muscle and Fitness with a Flex portion is still published ( Weider's Shape women's mag is too ). MD is, as mentioned, but other than those 2, you're stuck with men's general fitness magazines like Men's Health. Sometimes you might still see gay fitness softcore porn magazines published as well.

Even Milo Magazine is gone.

Yes, Muscle & Fitness is still published, but, it will be interesting to see what happens to it now with the recent sale from its AMI owner to Jake Wood.

It's not just the print muscle magazines that are dying, the entire print magazine industry is.  Ditto newspapers.

[Powerlift66]

MD looks like a pamphlet now, whats it 50 pages, max? Mostly ad's still...

I still have my "Colt Magazine" subscription.

Yup, Colt was definitely a “bodybuilding” magazine; filled with photos of guys with big muscles.
