First of all, Blechman never said that.  Find the post.  It's not there.  ALL magazine covers are "photo shopped."  With the technology available today, there isn't a magazine cover out there - on any subject - that isn't photo shopped to look its best.  What I'm sure Cara was eluding to is that the physiques are not altered.  With Photo Shop, you can remove wrinkles, the little folds of skin that fold over a tight waist band, blemishes, you can fix the color, remove shadows, enhance the lighting, etc.  But to accuse anyone of adding 50 pounds to a physique is ridiculous.  I don't even think it's possible.  I'm pretty good on Photo Shop CS and I couldn't do it. No one else I know in the graphics biz could do it.  Can any of you?  Especially you guys who are so sure of yourselves, why don't you post a pic of yourself and add 50 pounds?

MD is probably the best hardcore BB rag out there.  Since it is, and since its editor actually post on here, then they are in for the monster critics who rule this board.  They should stay off of here like all the other mags.

I would like to start taking bets on whether or not that pic is altered.  I think $500 is a nice safe bet.  To the first 20 people that agree.  That'll be... $10,000.  SHould be a nice little profit.  I'm going to get Blechman to front me the cash>  Then we're going to donate our winnings to Shawn Ray's CHOC (Convertables, Hoes, Oxycontin, & CHeesecake) Charity

i say the new issue with Branch on the cover is worth buying. i think subscribing is the better economical way rather then buying individual issues.

Lately I have been thinking that I don't need to pick up MD any longer.  Seems like im reading the same magazine (and 300 pages of teh same ads) over and over again. 

  No, it isn't. Since 1999, when Guy Gardner entered in a business association with Bob Kennedy, it has become a huge AD for MuscleTech. It is pathetic. Everything in there, from Greg Zulag's column to the "articles", is nothing more than a pseudo-sophisticated dissuation to sell MuscleTech supplements. That said, though, ulie does give some great advice on sauce. ;D ;)

The truth is, there is no magazine worth buying.  You've got to consider that they're all overpriced and brimming with ads so who in their right mind would pay so much just to thumb through ads?

hahaha pussy!

I once bough the flex issue with arnold doing ez bar curls on the cover and his chest sticking out like crazy.. this clerk was turned on or something and asked me: "you want to look that big?" "...yeah" "if think that is too big" and the guy was blushing... needless to say I never returned to that particular store again.

You mean you didn't retort with

"Son I already am that big?"
