Title: Muscle magazine(s) you buy without even looking through it....
Post by: Slick Vic on May 18, 2006, 05:28:41 PM
As for me it's Flex (I know I'll get flamed for that) Muscle & Fitness and Muscular Development. MuscleMag International is just a monthly advertisement magazine - MuscleTech.  ::)

I subscribe to MD, but occasionally I'll thumb through a Flex at the store and but it if it's got some good pictures. I don't even think about buying it for the articles since they are so lame.

My Girlfriend gets a subscription to Muscle and Fitness.  Such great articles about Swiss Ball training and post workout shakes!  Groundbreaking!!

The articles aren't all that bad. They just don't keep it real like MD.

I recently stopped buying magazines because its all recycled information anyways. I get my cutting edge news online. When I become a millionaire and then I will spend money on flex and md. I buy them only if there is somebody good in it like Arnold or haney specials! I haven't seen any of those mags in months now because I don't go shopping. I am rambling on and on.  8)

while I own 2500 vintage mags, I haven't bought a current mag in 15 years.

there are many people serious about collecting old bodybuilding mags.  Do you think in 20 years people will be collecting the current 500 page supplement cataloges pretending to be bodybuilding mags?   Who will have the shelf space?

That is true about contest articles, they are ok. Otherwise, almost everything else is pretty much pathetic.

I get MD the day it comes out, usually hassling the store owner to break up the other bundles to find it.

 Why can't they get bodybuilding magazines to people at least around the time that they hit newstands? They do with other magazines.

I don't buy Bodybuilding Magazines.  They're full of ads and bullshit.  Occasionally there's some worthwhile content but not enough to justify actually buying the magazine.  You can pretty much find all the same info on the internet so it's all really pointless.  On the plus side if you look for info on the internet you won't have to thumb through tons of pages of bullshit, useless ads trying to sell junk that doesn't work to people that don't know any better.
