I dumped a couple hundred muscle magazines

Yes, I had those along with "Psychoblast" and many others. When I opened my mail in front of my mom and pulled "Savage Reps" out of the package my mom thought it said "savage sex" and freaked out!

LOL

This thread makes me so sad.  All that inspiration and info sent to the dump.  I think there is a market for this or some consignment shop or old bookstore that would have taken and maybe even thrown you a few bucks.  But finding such places is a huge hassle.  It's probably all on the internet now anyway.

If this ever happens to anyone again here, I'd be willing to bid on 50 or 100.

You were 120 at 6'1? Were you a long distance runner like me?

My normal weight ranged from 130-135 at 5'11 but I did bulk up to 160 my junior year in high school using the advice of the universal bodybuilding system featuring Brian Eastman, he had a great aesthetic physique, I ordered it from a marvel comic book I had

Later when I was 24 I bulked up from 144 to 190 in 10 weeks following JM Blakeley"s advice as he was training me and a friend, he told me some of the guys there accused me of.being of gear and asked him what he put me on, he said he put me on a 5000 calorie a day diet which was the truth

Yes, I ran cross country as well as the mile and two mile races.  Skinny.  5' 9" and 90lbs in 9th grade.  J.C. Hise breathing squats and milk program did it for me.  It took years but I made it to 250lbs.  and fairly strong on the squat but my bench and deadlift were nothing to write home about.  I competed in a few bodybuilding contests but  decided that was not a good "career" so I went back to school and did my best there and at work.

most of the later mags were 50% adverts

and you made a career here
your parents would / must be so proud of your getbig work

Probably not so proud as yours are.  After all, you work at the British Broadcast Corporation!

to misquote Kevin Johnson:
Bodybuilding , I gave you all the best years of my life
All the dreamy sunny Sundays, all the moon-lit summer nights
I was so busy in the back room reading muscle mags
While you were changin' your direction, and you never even knew
That I was always, just one issue  behind you

Cool Quote!

Wow! 5'9 and 90

I'm curious what did you weigh on stage and how tall were you for your BB comps?
