Well, I have to agree that she should appear in MD. However, it really doesnt matter whether she talks about nutrition or not

MD Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Steve Blechman is seriously considering a women's bodybuilding column in MD in the near future. Will keep you updated.

Yeah, I can see how catering to schmoes will do nothing to alienate your pseudo-hardcore crowd.

Actually it will be a hard-core female muscle column.

Erratum

Should read "MD Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Steve Blechman is seriously considering a 300% salary increase to Manninen dude, simply because he is such a hard-working individual."

You have what.. 400 pages in a mag. It must be a huge thing to add one or two more pages about female bodybuilding

Manninen dude · « **Reply #113 on:** March 30, 2006, 06:43:29 AM »

About 450 pages.

How "nice" of him. There was a time when he actually put female bodybuilders on the covers of his magazine. I have an issue of MD....or should I say, MDFH (Muscular Development-Fitness-Health) with Melissa Coates on the cover.....ALL BY HERSELF!!. The mag itself has a multi-page article on Coates and even came with a dual-sided poster.

Of course, that was nearly 10 years ago. Now, after abandoning female bodybuilders (and legitimate fitness competitors) for "I-Can't-Believe-They're-Not-Porn-Stars" girls, Blechman may devote ONE WHOLE COLUMN to female bodybuilding. Ain't that sweet!!

Well, most of our readers are males, so we cannot publish numerous female-specific columns. However, one such a column is certainly better than ZERO, right?

Most of your readers were males 10 years ago. That has no bearing on the issue, whatsoever.

My point was that having one column is no monumental feat, especially when female bodybuilders used to be on the covers of MDFH. Even when draped around male bodybuilders, at least the female contingent was there.

And, going back to the example I used, there was an entire article, and a dual-sided poster for that particular female bodybuilder.

Like Marcie said "beggars cant be choosers"

As a female, I would be happy just to see us getting a small piece of the pie

Awesome COVER! Is it on the news stands yet?

Congrats to Lee & Dave! They both look great!

Hell NO I can't beat Lee! Most likely, never will. Lee's awesome! I don't know much about Rhino. I have never really analyzed his physique. But I wish him well. Oh, his site looks sweet! Good job!

Thanks! We got that site done in 3 days and it's already had something like 20,000 hits in the first week. Rhino has quite a big fan base from the boards. He's doing a photoshoot and hooking up with Wayne tomorrow. I should have some new pics up soon.

RJ, I think you could hold your own against Lee. Perhaps a Batman costume would help!
