I like FLEX. I like to read all the b.s. claims in the supp. ads. about giving great gains, you gotta admit that it does make for a great laugh.

I have a subscription to Flex.

I buy it for the pics of the Pros, the contest coverage and the gossips section.

My life is bodybuilding so I get my hands on has much bb material as I can.

Before the internet, and boards like these, It was all I could do to keep up with new techniques in nutrition and training. Believe it or not, but back in 93 when Muscle Media first came out, it was a great mag! It had no ads, a ton of steroid info, and great training programs. Then, a couple of years later, they all went to shit. The ads started with Muscle-tech in Muscle Mag. They then took over all the mags. If you notice, each major magazine has a product that they have vested interest in of which they try to promote throughout the magazine. The only time I read these mags anymore is when I'm on the treadmill at the gym. They provide material to pass the time. Thank god for the internet and boards like these!!! They save us money and give us unbiased info.

Muscle Mags are great to read if it is someone else's copy such as in a Barber Shop or a gym.

I don't mind spending money on Men's Health though, as a matter of fact I have a subscription. They have a lot of good training, grooming, diet and sex articles that make good reading, and always some real humorous stuff. I have a whole stack in my bathroom.

I can't stand mags being used purely as advertising mediums.
Anybody read No Bull?

well if you read muscel mag then you know Cell-Tech is 1950 %better than any other creatine on teh market and the pro's gain 15 lbs in 30days on it.. so is this the stuff they take in teh offseason or what? (laugh) thats why tehy are so much bigger than everyone else at my gym. (haha)

yeah - i remember when muscle media was pretty informative (so i thought) - and the first few issues of PUMP, with the Duchaine interviews and such I used to really like - but nobody seems to have that stuff anymore - its all on the net - they only have ripped guys and stripped gals for your viewing pleasure. I agreee its good for the crapper but I got better things to spend my $$$ than to pay to have them tell me why their worthless supplements are so hot.

Only for the swimsuit issues...

If you're into the sport of pro bodybuilding, FLEX magazine has pretty good coverage. Aside from the magazines there's no where to really get this information from. You never see bodybuilding coverage in the newspapers or TV.

But all the propaganda ads for the useless supplements does get old. Especially Musclemag.
