What bodybuilding mag will you buy now?

[SAMSON]

After reading nothing but MD for the past 7 years, im a little lost on the other mags out there. Are any of em actually worth buying anymore? As MD now certainly isnt!

[Rick Prince]

I'm not sure which mag I will be buying every month. I would rate Muscle Mag and Ironman above Flex and Muscle & Fitness.

While I am disappointed in how Blechman handled Palumbo and Romano's dismissal, I will still give MD a solid opportunity to continue being my favorite mag. But it appears MD is on the downhill slide. It is going to be interesting to see just how much MD changes.

[billmeek]

Honestly now that I canceled my MD subscription, I think I'd rather just save a few bucks and get all my breaking news and good info from right here at rxmuscle

[Jer]

None.

I cancelled my MD subscription and I'll just stick to the boards for my reading.

[blacktaboo]

well for now im still a MD lover due to the fact theres no other like it..but i must say these recent events has tarnished my perspective of how the mag is run and viewed.....DAVE, JOHN any chance you guys would want to launch a magazine??

[Crexis]

Superb idea.

[Mouse]

Probably none. I only read MD because I got it for free for being a mod. I imagine that will stop soon.

Digital content is the way to go anyhow.

[Maraxus]

magazines are a thing of the past. online is where its at. and this site is going to have more than enough content to satisfy us.

[Juntao]

Whens the first RX issue out?

[A-Maxx]

Dave and John already said they wont do the magazine route...

John - "trying to go green and save some trees"....:D

John and Dave both said print is a dying media and they prefer to focus on the site and expand it too the fullest



I personally have a subscription to MuscleMag which has been getting better and better...i was going to switch to MD..but due to the recent blasphemy...im sticking with my MuscleMag subscription...now and then I buy a muscle & fitness just because something in it might interest me...but I rather not have a subscription to them...things seems repetitive in M&F



my 2 pennies :p

[becks]

Base the decision on the times. A magazine is not required with the wealth of knowledge on the internet.

A new community is here with knowledgeable professionals and members, a place in which the truth is to be told and not based on advertising dollars.

The information will be here for each to become better, be it in everyday life or on the stage.

[Juntao]

Cool wid me! But will go into borders monthly and just go through mags. I did so with the rest of the muscle mags and just bought MD!

[TigerUpperCut]

i will just read these forums all day :)

[John6l6]

What about a online newsletter magazine thing. where John and Dave can do like a 5 page spread with all related articles that are current to the body building world?

Just send it over email....

Best of both worlds!

[dvsness]

John and Dave both said print is a dying media and they prefer to focus on the site and expand it too the fullest

Print is rough right now - wholesalers are going down:

I personally have a subscription to MuscleMag which has been getting better and better..

I'm fond of MMI as well.

[joe-yamma]

i was in wal-mart last night and considered buying MD (to get the last issue that John & Dave were in) but i decided to walk on by it.

perhaps i'll pick up a copy of MuscleMag?

print mags are on the decline, but it's still nice to have something to read in the bathroom :D

i think an actual print magazine doesn't make good business sense for John & Dave. the website is much better.

[GirlyMuscle]

I'm going digital. No need to buy one unless you need bathroom reading material and I always liked Playboy for that. Or one of those useless trivia books.

[MusclePump]

I dont know if the homepage title is any indication of John and Dave's intentions but it says "RX Muscle Mag" take if for what ever its worth.

[Cihan85]

I will buy the one that Dave Palumbo and John Romano make (if they do). I always hated Flex. The bastards are acting like all the pro's are natural and they never mention anything about chemical enhancement. Plus they keep publishing the same damn workout-plans and diets.

So untill then, I won't buy any mag at all.

[dvsness]

I'm going digital. No need to buy one unless you need bathroom reading material and I always liked Playboy for that. Or one of those useless trivia books.

I do like having something to read on the subway. Right now I'm reading Women of Steel; Female Bodybuilders and the Struggle for Self-Definition

[Shawn Bellon]

Actually I will still read MD. I have liked it for the most part. But I always scan to see what other companies are doing.

[WisconsinBB]

Whens the first RX issue out?


The first issue came out A LONG time ago! I'm pretty sure it was Dave's magazine back then too.

[APK]

They mentioned on the radio show that they will not be doing a magazine and that is a falling business. They were talking about doing internet based thing instead.

[GirlyMuscle]

I do like having something to read on the subway. Right now I'm reading Women of Steel; Female Bodybuilders and the Struggle for Self-DefinitionOooooo...sounds good! I just finished Iron Maidens The Celebration of the Most Awesome Female Muscle in the World by Kristin Kaye.

[Mr X]

I'm gonna buy Penthouse

[MAYOR OF BODYBUILDING]

I just want to read John take on the Barry Bonds trial and the A rod stuff too!

[Mr X]

or Hustler.

[becks]

The first issue came out A LONG time ago! I'm pretty sure it was Dave's magazine back then too.

If I recall correctly, the original RX Magazine was not owned by Dave. Dave worked for the original owner, whom chose sign over the rights for the magazine to Dave instead of paying him for services rendered.

Dave?

[red barraca]

go back to buying porn

[MichaelWayne]

Sweet, I can finally admit I have been buying MuscleMag for the past couple months. Far as quick recipes and workouts they have some good ideas....it just sucks seeing Kamali's ugly ass!

[dvsness]

Oooooo...sounds good! I just finished Iron Maidens The Celebration of the Most Awesome Female Muscle in the World by Kristin Kaye.

I saw that on the Border's site. I learned a LOT about 'politics' from this book. How was yours?

[LittleBigMan]

Dave's right I think that "PRINT" mags are a thing of the past

[GirlyMuscle]

I saw that on the Border's site. I learned a LOT about 'politics' from this book. How was yours?I liked every other chapter. Every other chapter was about some broadway performance of female bodybuilders and every other chapter was about the life of a fbber. I liked the life of chapters. The best was the one about Sheila Bleck.

[JamesWebb]

no mags for me. until dave and john get one going of course

[dirty p]

E- mags are the future. Cheaper to produce and less ads needed. Although MDs e-mag had just as many as the paper mag

[dekethecreep]

Ive been reading flex since 97,but i also enjoy muscle mag.gives me somethin to read sittin on the crapper huh!:D

[Skeptic]

I'm going digital. No need to buy one unless you need bathroom reading material and I always liked Playboy for that. Or one of those useless trivia books.

Yeah. The only place to read a mag these days is in the CRAPPER. nyuk nyuk nyuk

[M. Vince Goodrum]

After reading nothing but MD for the past 7 years, im a little lost on the other mags out there. Are any of em actually worth buying anymore? As MD now certainly isnt!


I still have my RXMuscle magazines.....:D

[MIKE]

You can always check out Posedown Magazine. New magazine but its fresh with some people and workouts you don't hear much about. check them out at www.posedownmag.com Our very own Dave Palumbo will be on the cover with a full story in the June issue. We will also be at the Arnold.

Other than that, not a big fan of any of the mags out there today either.

[BigJD69]

Hopefully someone will come out with a Hardcore Mag like MD used to be.

[Shadow]

I do and will read all of them except Muscle and Fitness. I can get fresh ideas on things that might not necessarily come up in a forum, and the pics of the pros give me motivation.

[mikeheeney]

musclemag

[AVBG]

I know which one I wont now buy.. Besides that MMI is good, Ironman amongst others. In Australia we have a great local publication called Hardcore Aussie Muscle which is light on advertising but heavy on local content, their contest coverage is fantastic.. Natural orgs get a lot of coverage.

[zx]

Online Exclusive!

[.DP]

None, it's just the same recycled stuff anyways.

[jimmy.b.]

i still like the magazine idea, more convieniant in some or relaxing in some settings

[LittleBigMan]

I think MD MAG is still a decent mag to WIPE YOUR ASS WITH!!!

[Sledge]

HARDCORE AUSSIE MUSCLE

www.hardcoreaussiemuscle.com.au (http://www.hardcoreaussiemuscle.com.au)

[Viking]

The real info is online!

Maybe just an e-mailed newsletter for those who like "print-like" material?

[Cihan85]

Sweet, I can finally admit I have been buying MuscleMag for the past couple months. Far as quick recipes and workouts they have some good ideas....it just sucks seeing Kamali's ugly ass!
Haha, King Kamali's face looks so damn funny when he's fat:D have you seen his latest offseason pics? I don't know what the hell is happening to this guy but his legs and arms seem to be disappearing:confused:.

[Joshua H]

2 days before getting wind of the MD fiasco and John and Daves termination I sent off my 1 year renewal check for MD magazine........2 fricking days before!

Oh well, I still like the science section and the updates the mag gives on new research and what not. The long articles from MD writters like Robbie, Layne, Eric and Jose Antonio, Rick Collins, Carlon Colker etc......are still worth it to me. The pro interviews are always cool but sometimes those even get redundent and repetitious. As long as they keep cycling through different athletes each issue its cool. But to keep the same ones is pointless. Thats what blogs are for. Contest pics and coverage are cool too but I hate the ever increasing amount of ads that MD had in it!:mad:

[Bigmorgs]

None! Bye bye md....

[Big Al]

Probably none, I have a good feeling RXMuscle site will be more than enough in every aspect of BB.

[Diggy]

I have a dedicated laptop in my bathroom so I can talk shit, literally

no need for mags

[305_BALLER]

none.

I just hired Dave..thats all i need.:D

[STEELERJ-XL]

My subscription is paid for. I will keep it for now but if it starts getting to be BULLSHIT LIES ill cancel.

[Jason Newman]

same here, got MD thru august, so well see how it goes, if it goes bad, ill just buy them periodically with interesting articles or just hit up the websites to see exercises and stuff, honestly only read the science articles and the bodybuilder centerfold articles

[bigdaddyd]

magazines are a thing of the past. online is where its at. and this site is going to have more than enough content to satisfy us.
Good point. I just cannot figure out how to hold my laptop while I'm in the can!

LOL:eek:

[Outlaw53]

After reading nothing but MD for the past 7 years, im a little lost on the other mags out there. Are any of em actually worth buying anymore? As MD now certainly isnt!What about Beef magazine, don't you Poms read that?

[BuffGuy]

I will read Flex... prob will pickup muscle mag.. and waiting for john romanos new stuff.. w.e def NOT MD!

[happyandfatty]

musclemag isn't that bad u guys, i have taken a lot of knowledge from it and i'm not a beginner. some good info and smokin hot girls

[Larry C]

Started reading about bodybuilding 4 years ago, then started buying FLEX which I read for a year. First time I time bought MD I decided that was the one for me but now that Dave and John aren't part of it I don't know what I'll do. Think I'll buy the next 2 issues as we are 1 or 2 behind over here in Ireland and then I'll decide.

[MAYOR OF BODYBUILDING]

With the Internet all magazines are going to have a hard time because all the content is old! The next md is johns last i believe.

[Bacon Cheese Burgers]

i get flex for bathroom reading material. there r places on the net that sell 12 issue subs for $5. works for me because im a cheap mofo.

other than that its all about the internet.

[BigJD69]

3/4 of all the Mags are advertisements anyway!

[sbfreak]

prob flex.

[GrayBull]

No thanks.

["Rodz"]

go back to buying porn

buying?

["Rodz"]

Good point. I just cannot figure out how to hold my laptop while I'm in the can!

LOL:eek:

You gotta get one of those tv dinner trays

[Theobeselifter]

I support the athletes, depending on who's featured I'll buy any mag. THat's what is most important, but will I go out my way to track down someone selling MD like before.... probably not. The magazine doesn't have the same content and focus as before.

[tjm7275]

I got a free subscription to Flex and bought my subscription to MD. I wont be renewing either because i believe what john said is true.. Mags are dead. We can just go on the net

[Schmidy]

I will be still be getting my MD subscription

[Schmidy]

I got a free subscription to Flex and bought my subscription to MD. I wont be renewing either because i believe what john said is true.. Mags are dead. We can just go on the net

Yer Ture BUT! what you going to read went your on the Shitter????????:D

[MuscleAddict83]

E- mags are the future. Cheaper to produce and less ads needed. Although MDs e-mag had just as many as the paper mag

Of course it did, mo money! MMI for me. Ironman got old after a while. Did FLEX for quite a while, just because I liked the contest coverage and it was the first one I ever read. It too got old. The new format of MMI is great though.

[Jon Bodin]

I used to subscribe to Ironman, Flex, & Planet Muscle but when the bb.com came out I stopped buying. Then I found Dave & John's radio show and started to pick up MD but will probably won't pick it up anymore. Back in the day Ironman & MuscleMag were great reads.

[Outlaw53]

There is no doubt that magazines can't compete with the Internet when it comes to up-to-the-minute news, but magazines have advantages the the computer doesn't - the shitter being one of them! :p

Even though magazine articles are old news, the photos of champion bodybuilders never age.
There is something to be said for just kicking back and reading a magazine wherever you feel like it, rather than having to be stuck in the computer room.

If you are a competitor and you are fortunate enough to get a profile in a magazine then you can take it around and show your all friends or your mum & dad etc.
Everyone gets a kick out of being in a mag, whereas anyone can get on a computer with sites like Facebook etc.

Getting in a bodybuilding magazine gives you recognition for your effort.

I am the publisher and editor of my own Australian bodybuilding magazine called Hardcore Aussie Muscle.
It is a bi-monthly magazine and is only 9 issues old but it has proved to be very popular among local bodybuilders down here in Australia.

A big thanks to all the Aussies here that nominated HCAM as their favourite magazine.
I can promise all you Yanks that it is nothing like what you have in America.
HCAM is an independent publication that is not owned or dictated to by a bodybuilding federation.
We have a 70/30 ratio of content vs ads, so you don't have to fight through a million ads to get to the content.

All 4 bodybuilding federations here in Australia support it and we do our best to give each federation and each State equal coverage.
It is a very unique magazine.

Here is a peek at issue 10 which is due out very soon.
Magazines rock!!

[Pearce]

To be honest, the mags are obsolete.. everything we need for updates on the sport and training info can be found online. or in textbooks.. I think im just gonna save my money every month

Mad respect for you doing your thing!!! As for me, here in the States, I will get my reading from the net. By the time it hits the newsstands, in a mag, its old news in this internet era.

I will however be buying MMI for shitter reading.

[Outlaw53]

To be honest, the mags are obsolete.. everything we need for updates on the sport and training info can be found online. or in textbooks.. I think im just gonna save my money every month
Perhaps........

We don't bother with training or diet articles in HCAM because there is nothing new to learn.
Squats, Deadlifts and Bench Press for training - chicken broccoli and rice for diet.
Nothing has changed for the last hundred years.

Yeah there's other foods and exercises, but the basics are still the same.
Everybody knows them, it's just that most people don't do them or are looking for shortcuts.

Magazines are great for giving athletes recognition for their efforts and trying to help promote the sport of bodybuilding.
I'm not interested in re-hashing boring old training articles, they've been done to death.
Competitor profiles and contest reports are what you buy magazines for, everyone should know how to eat and train by now.

It won't be long before there are computers in the shitter, then magazines like mine will be fucked!
The shitter is the only thing keeping me in business by the sounds of things! :D

You can bash MD, MuscleMag, M&F, Flex, Ironman and any other US mag up your arse!!
HCAM is the only true bodybuilding mag. The rest are just full of ads financed by HustleTec and the likes.
If i want to read ads i will go and buy the classifieds.
Well done Outlaw for keeping it real!!!

[Sledge]

I actualy don't think magazines are on the way out. I enjoy reading mags on the shitter, in bed, kicking back on the couch or sitting on the porch out back with a burbon listening to some music. All things that aint quite the same with a PC.

Only thing that computers will kill is porn magazines and only because you cant stick the pages together on a comp.

LOL....................Cheers mate, I appreciate your support.

As much as we all hate them, advertisers are a necessary evil when it comes to publishing any magazine.
The thing that I really object to is where the ads are placed.
I think every right hand side of every bodybuilding magazine is an ad, so it means that the article that you are reading is being constantly interrupted by an ad.

We make sure that there are no full page ads placed in the middle of any articles.
If it's a 7 page report, then it will be 7 uninterrupted pages.
You need plenty of content to do this, but fortunately this has never been a problem for us.

It seems to be a problem for all the other mags though - there is very little Australian content in any of them - 5-10 pages if you're lucky.
They mustn't be trying too hard because each issue we are running out of pages to fit everything in.

[Frosty]

None!

[buckimscl]

About the only one I buy on a regular basis is musclemag and I don't buy that one every month.

[Curt James]

I purchased a two-year subscription to MD about a year ago. Dirt cheap and a free t-shirt. Not canceling. Why, so I can wait months for a twelve-dollar refund on the issues not yet received? No.

Have been a longtime subscriber to MuscleMag International and an occasional Flex subber.

And I subscribe to Oxygen, too. :p

Have purchased just about all the related magazines seen on the newsstand over the years, including Iron Man, PL USA, Muscle & Fitness, the natural mags, etc.

Plus SI, EW, Time, and I have two gift subs to some PC mags as well.

I'm definitely a bookworm. ;)

[buster12]

i'll do my usual routine. glance at an md mag while on the crapper at barnes and noble. Only this time, I wont be buying the mag. I'll just leave it in the shitter.

Ahhh, we've put fuck all into our website to be honest, it's purely there for subscribers.
If you PM me your postal addy I will mail you off a copy of the next issue if you like?

I have lurked around MD for a few years without posting, but I have found some of your posts to be interesting.

Thanks for the kind words mate.

[Razer]

I stopped paying out the ASS for mags because the real true info can be found on great forums like RXMuscle.com where the truth is spoken! John and Dave I know you guys are writers and ya gotta get payed too but $8 or $9 per mag is a rip! I work for a big printing company that prints mags 24/7 and I've seen what customers pay, it's not THAT much. You guys could always set up some type of e-mail magazine or PDF downloadable link.

[MartyMcFly]

Iron Man isn't a bad read, I just picked up a copy to see if I'd like it, but I not sure yet. md is probably still the best mag out there, I'm not so happy with their decision, but it's probably still the best.

[tat2mike]

No more mags...not even porn.. everything is online now and mobile....

[Curt James]

Thanks for the kind words mate.

Well deserved. Wishing you and the magazine great success!

[Canuck_Muscle]

I have bought a few MuscleMags. They are pretty good actually.

im the sucker who reads everything print on bodybuilding including ads. im not affraid to admit that i couldn't wait to lay out and read my md and see how long it took to complete the lastest issue. for last decade i read md through its many transitions including ads galore of twinlab to muscletech, from hardcore to "all natural" to hardcore, babes to no babes, romano ranting on everything remained constant, the rise of palumbo, etc. i read flex and did suspend reality when they deferred from speaking of the reality of drug use. i read print and enjoy it. i am not just a romano and palumbo fan but a bodybuiliding fan in general. so "moving forward" is challenging and i admit it.

heh :D

I'm definitely an avid reader.

And I'm paying like a buck sixty-seven for every issue of MD, so I did not cancel. Like I said elsewhere, I wouldn't trust them to return my money and, hey, it's what my grandmother would have called "cutting off your nose to spite your face."

Why dump MD just because there are ABSOLUTELY AND MOST CERTAINLY SOME [expletive deleted] HEADS WHO CONTINUE TO DELETE ACCOUNTS WITHOUT WHAT I'D CALL JUST CAUSE?

Small people with a little too much "power" will always impinge forward movement in any area of endeavour.

And I ease my guilt over not telling "MD" to shove it up their [expletive deleted] by being a supporter of Dave Palumbo via purchases at his online store.

Check out his Nutrition & Supplement Seminar (http://www.davepalumbo.com/ProductsPages/videospictures.htm#new) as well as Prison Workout (http://www.davepalumbo.com/ProductsPages/Books.htm#prison) and pick up an old school Rx Muscle t-shirt (http://www.davepalumbo.com/ProductsPages/Clothing.htm#tanktop). I did.

Apostle, I heard that! :mad:

hey at least youre smart enough to get subscriptions. how many of us are the suckers who frequently check the store and pick up the lastest issues full price?! lol! beyond the lastest fiasco romano and palumbo have stated before that they want everyone within the industry to get paid. obviously they credit the bodybuilders themselves and the fans who support the industry. and im sure they credit the fans whether we're reading md or not. btw cant wait for my new palumbo dvd to come in the mail!

[wittleguy]

i get flex for bathroom reading material. there r places on the net that sell 12 issue subs for $5. works for me because im a cheap mofo.

other than that its all about the internet.

I wonder how much I've paid for magazines and books over the years. Not just bodybuilding books and mags, but everything. Newspapers, magazines, novels, textbooks, comic books, audio books. And I'm looking at the new Kindle.

Romano said he could have a Harley with the money he spent on Nubain over the course of three years. (http://www.superhumanradio.com/media/ot/OT-02192009.mp3)I'm sure I'd be able to replace my Sportster with a much bigger bike with the money I've spent on reading material.

After reading nothing but MD for the past 7 years, im a little lost on the other mags out there. Are any of em actually worth buying anymore? As MD now certainly isnt!

They're not worth it unless you have limited knowledge.It's all the same shit over and over and over......Anything big that is "discovered" will be all over these boards.

yea any chance that rx will make a magazine that would be awesome

I will buying none now. I use to only buy MD. But now the only reason I would buy it would be Patrick Arnold's article and possibly Cohlker's. So....pry wait and see if John and Dave come out with a mag. If they do, I'll get a sub asap

I'm already a subscriber. Looking forward to your words printed in their mag!

Thought I heard you or someone write that there's hope of a Romano Factor column being included in future issues. Wishing you the best!
