It's Official: Muscle Media sucks

[Cuts]

I have been a long-time MM reader since way back in '95. I have stuck with the mag through it's roller coaster like transitions over the years... from hardcore to Men's Health type stuff to a monthly BFL digest to a quasi-weight watchers mag for fat people to it's state today--absolutely pathetic.

I'm sick of that homo Pavel Tsoutsawhatever and his gay ass kettleball bullshit. I'm sick of their 14 year old editors-in-chief. And I'm sick of trying to relate to their latest "silver fox" 102 year old champ!

I know a lot of y'all don't like the guy, but without Bill Phillips spearheading the operation, I can almost predict it's demise within 3 years. They've lost one reader that's for sure.

O.k. I feel better.

That rag has sucked for years. If not for EAS supporting them as an advertising life raft, they would have sunk for sure, as I am sure they cant sell to many copies a month. Just my Opinion




God bless the United States and her soldiers:mp5:

I think I bought my first issue in 1992 and my last in 1998, it used to be a pretty good magazine.

All bodybuilding magazines suck ass!!! They exist SOLELY to sell supplements. That's where all the real money is made in this industry.

The Weider magazines are pure shit and always have been. Muscle and Fiction over the past 20 or so years has been the source of 90%+ of all training myths and mis-information.

MM2K was a decent magazine (from the standpoint of training and diet info) for a short period of time in the mid 90's, although they were always just a walking advertisement for EAS supplements.

Ironman was always an excellent magazine for training info up until the late 90's when they jumped on the supplement hype bandwagon and moved away from a powerlifting/weightlifting/strongman bias and onto the bodybuilding bandwagon.

Testosterone magazine has some decent articles by Poliquin, Ian King, Dave Tate, etc., but they're still just a walking advertisement for Biotest.

Man on a mission


At any one time, this web site has more valuable information than any muscle mag has had for the last 5 years combined.

I think the mags are cool in terms of photos. It is interesting to see guys pressing over 405lbs on incline and performing militaries with 315lbs. Like someone else said, these magazines are designed to serve as a marketing tool for supplements.
