it has been known that Ron Harris has done it for a long long long time.

I believe that Branden Ray writes his own, and that Kai Greene puts more effort into his than the others do...but yes, Ron does them all except Branden's...

90% of the articles are written by RON HARRIS! Ron has got to be the most prolific writer in the business. It's unbelievable the amount of articles the guy cranks out per month. And they're good too!

I bet most mags don't really have the pros doing there own column, its probably just told to Ron what they would say and then he puts it in a way that is in the magazine.

Branden Ray, Evan, and Erik write their own.

I got a feeling MD is gonna try sue RX for exploiting the corruption of MD!

I was thinking this too but hey if Ron writes them he writes them! It is not really slanderous if it's true!

You can add Shawn Ray to that list. He writes his own articles/columns.

Where do the questions come from, the questions that ppl ask these pros? do they come form the MD boards? Email?....
I find it hard to believe that every month someone has to ask "hey victor, how do i get my chest huge??"
some of them have to be made up right?

And how much of it is RON, he says he interprets the pros responses and writes it more coherently.......really?

10 years from now, when we're all fondly remembering the days when competitors got on stage at less than 300 lbs., the two writers that will be remembered as the voices of this era of bodybuilding are Ron Harris and John Romano.

Ron usually talks to them on the phone then adapts that to an article.

Well who else is it gonna be, McGough? His time has come and gone. And I like guys like Connelly and Schmidt, but they're never given the opportunity to shine; they're both good at what they do, but what they do is nothing compared to the type of in depth reports you did (like all the stuff on operation:geargrinder) or essays (like you're "Curse of the 90's"), nor are they able to really convey that passion that Ron is somehow able to bring out in every one of his articles even after writing his billionth arm training piece; you guys are like the Dick Tyler's of our age.

I'd love to see Ron writing over here, and I don't know if that'd be an option for him since I don't know if he's an employee or contractor, but I love his work and his character; you'll notice he's one of the few to stay out of this whole shake up and not take sides. He's the only reason I'll still be posting on MD in fact.

i have to agree 100% John--brings a major light to the sport of BBing that most writers dont i enjoyed reading his articles every month and i hope to cont. to enjoy them on this website and hopefully even more often. now that he does not have other duties to fufill...right John? :o jk. keep up the amazing work. We all look forward to you insight into this life we call Bodybuilding.

As for Ron Harris i enjoy his work as well and with learning that he writes a lot of the PRO/ Amatuer athletes articles as well i have gained even more respect and admiration for the man........:D
