Ah, I have the one with the Beauty and the Priest article. It's probably 6 months old since I live in Oz...

So glad to hear you've found true love.

MD is THE best and only BB mag I buy.. actually I dont need to buy it. Hey.. wait a minute, I´m apparently somewhat biased.

It might seem petty but I'm not down with stupid whooshing sounds on a website.

Thus, I'm never buying your magazine.. ever.

(Yes, the speakers were on really, really loud

Who you think you´re kidding? In reality, you read every issue from cover to cover at least 6x.

Awesome mag. I love reading it, there's always copies around me cos my bro and his mates BB. Wish you guys would write about the female BB's though. Not wank sessions like the sandwichs "interview" with colette nelson, but serious stuff like the top girls answering questions in their own columns like the guys do. Being a female reader I like reading how the guys train, and their take on things, but I wish someone would give a serious forum like that to the girls. They work just as hard, and the only other mags that want them present them as freakshow porn bimbos. Chads article on how sick the scene can be makes for depressing reading. Give them a chance to present themselves as the athletes they are.

i'll still keep reading MD as is tho. But as a female reader, thats what I'd like to see more of.

cheers.

Hi Marcie,

Thanks for feedback.

Actually I suggested to Blechman yesterday that we should include a "Female Gym Rat" column in MD. In my opinion, a good "author candidate" is a person who have a hard-core bodybuilding OR fitness/figure background (the only major difference between bb and fitness/figure is the abuse of steroids) as well as scientific training in execise physiology and/or nutritional sciences (or something), so one female-specific column would cover both practical and scientific aspects.

I would suggest that all female readers (especially singles) send their feedback directly to me... I will take care of them... customer satisfaction guaranteed... literally

I know beggars cant be choosers, and all that. But in my opinion, the fitness and figure girls have enough exposure on the go already. I mean the BB girls. The magazine focusses on muscle, so why not give the ladies on the cutting edge of human female muscle physiology a forum. Focus on their workouts and diet, the sacrifices they make in their lives to achieve their goals. I'd love to see Per Bernals photos of these girls.

If you want a forum by women academics, have an academic forum like Dr Colker offers the guys. If it works and there's interest, then add a fitness girl gym rat down the track. In the time I have been reading the only articles on BB women I've seen have been Colette Nelson( which was more about the sandwich's issues about her becoming too big for him to want to shag her), an interview with Nicole Bass and a photo pictorial of Lenda Murray. As well as the odd picture turning up in the photo page compiled by John Romano. (I've missed the odd issue, but hey)

I love how the guys are treated in MD. Just wanting to see you give the BB girls the same respect is all.

I'll keep reading, regardless.

cheers

Hah.. ok.

Truth is I've never ever read a single page of MD

I bought one flex, thought it was the biggest piece of shit ever and ever since then never read a bb mag.

Sounds a like a plan.

Who would write such a column? Obviously, the author must be female with some kind of bb background. Also, she should have basic knowledge of exercise physiology, nutrition, etc. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I would think that by including coverage of figure that would increase sales. To me, there seems to be a million figure girls. It might also help attract more advertisers - suit makers, fitness camps etc.

I am probably pushing my luck...but why not cover all aspects of female physique shows on a small level? As far as columns... You have someone like Tracey Greenwood, who apart from being a top competitor, also has a PHd in exercise physiology [I think]. Maybe a column on fitness routine skills [I am a fitness girl so excuse my bias

] I know she is not a pro but Jodi Miller is exceptionally articulate. You have the icons of the past - Cory, Rachel, Bev etc. The 'legends' Monica, Lenda, Kim... Plus, like you do with the guys, the top competitors now - Jenny, Adela, Mary etc.

Or maybe it is an option to have your present columnists to combine to do a section for females. Charles Glass talking about training for routines, Chad doing nutrition etc..

Whatever happens though, I am pleased MD is even considering it. Thanks for that.Remember we girls are potential customers as well

Ok, I just re-upped and subscribed with MD for the 2 year deal on their web site. I honestly enjoy the mag and really enjoy most stuff written by John Ramano. I have not subscribed to FLEX for awhile however. I still may, I will alert the bodybuilding media should I suscribe.

Yes, if it is true that JohnRammano sends pics of his privates to Jr HS girls , he has my admiration.
Give me a cute Jr high cheerleader and you have a happy Howie

See the Jr high babe is old enough to have started tittin up at least , PLUS she is tight enough in coochie that you don't have to plough her in the back door to hear her squeal

My motto when it comes to the babes is ; " ...if there is grass on the field, PLAY BALL!"

Seriously, I really enjoy MD and Ramano.

I keep thinking of MD being a mag for hardcore muscle. Male and female, except they rarely show the female side of it. I know a lot of readers are still hung up on Brandy Dahl and the lingerie/nudie era, but the muscle girls need a respected forum to pull them out of the funk the scene is in. Put a BB girl next to your average woman, and its extreme. Put her next to a figure girl, still extreme. It changes slightly if its a fitness girl, as both are ripped in competition mode: it's just a matter of degree. The only context these girls would not look out of place in, is next to the male muscle freaks in MD. There they would look diminutive, and feminine versions of the guys, and there they would not look wrong. There the muscle can be looked at and compared between the best both genders have to offer. The big guys may have issues with what people would think, and they all seem to have partners who are "normal" in terms of muscle. But I'm sure they are professional enough to "get" it, and work with it.

And remember, they dont have to shag it, just respect it, and let them share some of the spotlight.

MD has both Chad Nichols and Charles Glass in place on the staff. Both of these guys have inside knowledge to offer on the women athletes and can write about it from "experience". Both can suggest women in the field who have the knowledge to answer in depth questions on BB for women. Colette Nelson is a qualified nutritionist, and I'm sure there are others. I dont have a problem with fitness girl gym rats having a say as well. But BB girls are closer to the MD ethos though.

Hardcore muscle. Muscular Development can walk its talk and crank it up to a whole new level. Its what the scene is missing, and that's respect.

cheers
