Here's one of many MD subscription cancellation letters that loyal fans and readers have CCd me on........ thanks for all your support!



Cancellation email
I basically bought a subscription to MD because of Dave Palumbo and John Romano. Now that you have fired the two main reasons I even read MD or visited the Web site, I would like to exercise my option of canceling my subscription. Btw, please don't post articles about how ineffective low carb diets are as a passive aggressive stab at Palumbo. Specifically, I am referring to the Dennis Wolf excerpt you posted recently. That is from an article a couple months ago. It makes you look bad. I used to really like this magazine, but this type of behavior is petty. I have not received my first issue yet, so I would like pursue a refund of my purchase and cancel my membership...

Thanks,

Yeah, it is hard to say, but I have no real reason to buy MD anymore. It is not the MD is used to be. It is hard to say, but MD is not MD. You guys will have your own empire in a matter of time, and the support of many!

I just signed up for a year too, last month...I need something to read while pooing/doing cardio or else I'd cancel it....all the other mags are either weider junk or have Kamali in them.

Why buy a mag that claims they're based on science when the head guy is trying to tell Dave that the EPA and DHA in fish oil aren't essential fats?? With the poor conversion of alphalinolenic acid to DHA especially, conditions that reduce the conversion further (like high insulin from his HIGH CARB DIET), and then genetic differences in the ability to desaturate...wow Either he's just trying to argue with Dave or he is clueless. Oh yeah, and fish oil is bad for fat loss. Riiiight, even though there is a body of evidence clearly showing it helps, and nearly every respectable coach uses it.

Oh yeah, and even though the "Palumbo Diet" is for cutting bodyfat exclusively, Steve kept on saying how zero carb diets are bad for gaining muscle. Essentially:

Dave: "This diet is great for fat loss while not being really hungry and being in a better mood"

Steve: "But low carb diets are bad for muscle growth!"

Huh?!?!

Yeah, I'm REEEALLY excited about this new "scientific" direction they're going.

i posted earlier today about walking right past MD on the shelf last night.
i considered buying it to get the last one w/ you and John, but i didn't want to put any more $ into steve's pocket.

good to see people exercising their rights and voting the most powerful way they can... with their dollars :eek:

Mine was just renewed for me as a gift not that long ago, I will see how it goes but hell I read them all except M&F. John has been one of my favorite writers since I was a kid so I don't know how long I will actually keep getting it though.

Personally I couldn't give a fuck about Dave and John. I find them informative and entertaining and that’s all I require of them and that’s the business they are in. I'm not here because of some loyalty to a couple I’ve guys I've never met and don't know, any more than I'd expect them to have any loyalty to me.
I cancelled my sub renewal and left MD because of the way Steve blechman acted and the way he treated his customers. He treated us with total disrespect and outright disdain. I was disgusted at the way he dealt with the dismissal of John and Dave and then lied and got others to cover up for him. I think this was indicative of the type of person he is and his total disdain for his staff and customers, the very people he is supposed to be providing for.

The other day few of the guys in my gym were talking that MD is dead without Dave and John .They were very dissapointed saying that will be no point buying the mag anymore.
Dave and John have a lot of fans here in Australia in a bodybuilding community. Their info are very valuable to them.

His MD site will turn to shit, just as his MD rag is.. His magazibe sales & subscriptions will drop, he's lost all credibility in the industry, the new radiio show will flop, all the athlete will leave him... It's all a matter of time!!

Big Tav
02-11-2009, 06:16 AM
Mine runs out next month and I will not renew either. Dave and John were the backbone of that magazine! As previously stated in Romano's article on here I was getting pissed off with seeing all those ads promising 387% gains in a week etc from a mag claiming to be NO BULL! I was expecting to see a Cybergenics ad any minute! I wonder if MD will end up being the new Muscle Media?

It will be a shame since I enjoyed reading all of the Pro's columns :(

Congrats guys on your new site!

02-11-2009, 06:23 AM
well i'll probably buy the next issue of Romanian MD just to see how it is.unfortunately we only had the Romano Factor in our magazine(none of Dave's columns),but it was a damn good column. so if there will be something to make me say "i don't like this/it",i will stop buying the mag.

I would buy the mag from time to time based on something that was on the cover... but $6+ worth of advertisement is more than I care to pay for...

I mean if you could REALLY gain 30 lbs of muscle and lose 50 lbs of fat in 12 weeks wouldn't we all look like Pros?

02-11-2009, 07:04 AM
To me, the best part of the mag, was John's articles. They always hit home about something.

Who's going to write those articles now?

Hey, I look at it as saving $7/month.

I found the website first. I bought the magazine sporadically. Once I became a FL I got a free subsccription. Every month I'd read John, Dave and Charles Glass then I'd put it on the shelf with all the other issues never to be opened again.

It's kinda like going to the hair salon. I walked into the salon (MD) to get my hair done. I stay because of the person doing my hair (John and Dave). If my stylist leaves I follow him/her because of the service provided to me by that person. I am no longer patronizing the salon for the name of the salon. I'm patronizing the person. Same with John and Dave. For me, it was a combo of loyalty to John and Dave and a disgust of the way Blechman does business.

I will not Renew my subscription as well which will be up soon. The only good use for an MD mag to be in my home now is to wipe my ass with it when i'm done on the toilet.

Sorry to say it but MD is DEAD!!!!

What's really nice to see is that we as an community stuck together and do have the power to voice our opinon and show that we will not be mislead or mistreated like crap.

Long live RX MUSCLE

I feel terrible that Dave and John were fired. Even though I am just a regular guy who eats healthy, goes to the gym and takes no supps other than some protein shakes, I still appreciated Dave's honest columns about steroid use. I used to read MD(no longer of course) because I could not stand flex mag telling me, "Jay cutler gets big cause he eats ezekiel bread lol." I hate having my intelligence insulted like that. Anyhow, I prepaid for a year of muscular development a few months ago so my subscription is running down and it won't be renewed. If their is a way to get a refund, I would do that. I hope that Dave and John have a successful future so that shmuck blechman doesn't feel that he accomplished what he wanted which is to hurt them. FUCK MUSCULAR DEVELOPMENT. Also, I just received my Species Isolyze whey in Cherry Vanilla flavor and it is delicious and goes down so smoothly. It's the best protein I have ever tried bar none. I will never purchase a protein other than isolyze ever again.

IF you remember the last Word in the Jan 09 issue by John.."Happy New Year...No Matter What".....Now add getting fired from MD to that list. Makes the message even more pertanant....

To show my support for John and Dave and the awesome job they did for MD(despite not showing up to the office in a year:rolleyes:) I will not be buying MD for at least 6mo...this is my way of making a statement to Steve and MD...since my posts there would prob be deleated....

I'm probably going to go ahead and give it a chance. I have a subscription through December, so I'll give them till then to get it right. Clearly Blechman is the badguy in this, but that doesn't mean there won't be good information in the magazine.

so true brother, I'm in the same situation here. I actually don't have a subscription right now, it ended a couple months ago, but somehow just put it off on getting a new one, but now that the anabolic freak and romano aren't there, i don't know if it would be the same.

I'm not cancelling (mostly because the paper sub was won with a 500 word essay... another of John's ideas) but I DO agree that the whole recent MD slant of the magazine is down to John and Dave.

I'm surprised, even though I liked it, at Bob K jumping right in with an offer. Good got Mr Kennedy.

I just wanted to note i am getting a free subscription to MD, and I honestly dont even want it anymore. That is how unimpressed and disgusted I am with the firing of Dave and John and the subsequent actions taken by MD.

I was a muscle radio show junkie, downloading all of them I could get my hands onto and listening to them when i did cardio or in the car. You would think I would jump at the chance to listen to all of MD's new shows. You'd be wrong.

Anyone who thinks Flex and Shawn are good radio hosts, has to be mental. Flex's phone will keep cutting out and he'll consistently forget what the two of them were talking about. Shawn will drivel on about his life and whatever he is promoting. He's essentially a cheap knock-off of Bob Cicherillo. We only need ONE Bob Cicherillo(no hate, love bob, just don't need to bobs).

Anyone who thinks Flex and Shawn are good radio hosts, has to be mental. Flex's phone will keep cutting out and he'll consistently forget what the two of them were talking about. Shawn will drivel on about his life and whatever he is promoting. He's essentially a cheap knock-off of Bob Cicherillo. We only need ONE Bob Cicherillo(no hate, love bob, just don't need to bobs).


lol... agreed Shawn and Flex are boring as hell I used to skip there segments when they where on no bull.....and now they have their own show? ohh please god....ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

My message to Steve: I was in the MHP Transformation Challenge

The challenge is dead. MD and Steve forgot all about us. They don't care about their members. We had an obligation to them and they had one to us. Unforgivably, they didn't live up to their end of the bargain. Too bad it sheds a bad light on MHP. I wonder if Steve even cares. MHP is a great company and lived up to their responsibility. It also makes me sick that they are already promoting another transformation challenge via NXlabs when they failed us. We only had 3 weeks left. There are plenty of other experts under payroll that they could have assigned to the challenge to run what was left. It wouldn't be ethical for us to finish the challenge using Dave's diet and exercise advice since he was fired. He created the diet and exercise programs not MD. Mr. G and Dros administered the challenge as a labor of love getting only our gratitude as payment.

Steve you are making a ton of mistakes in you business. Failing to care and pay attention to your members who pay your bills. Have another glass of vino for me. I understand the Byzantine power struggle you are trying to avoid, but it's over. Your out matched. Dave and John are too quick. Your behind in technology. The game changed. Print is dead. Yours will be a slow agonizing death, but none the less. Dave and John won the battle before it was ever fought. Steve please read your history, get back on your game, quit being a pig they only get slaughtered.

Hey idiot since you are trying you best to get banned so you can sit behind your screen and say "I told you so" why don't you go the MD forums and post a link to this site there?

That would get you banned real fast and you can have your happy dance and run to your boyfriend and pronounce how cool you are that you got banned.

Now just fuck off

At the very most I flip through MD at the magazine rack at this 7-11 near my crib.

Then I put it down. Then I grab Ironman Magazine and head to the checkout counter.


My My My...I'm am once bitten twice shy. Things change. I remember when I counted the days down until the next issue came out. True Story!

I'll be writing lots of articles for this site. As many as I can, as wel as stocking the archive with past articles I wrote for MD. Since I never had a contract I never agreed to anything of mine being MD property. It's all mine, and subsequently will be all yours.

This is classic. I don't understand how any businessman would allow you to produce work without claiming it, but it's certainly to your advantage. Awesome.

Print it all up in a book form and sell it in the Rx Muscle Shop! Where's that link, yo?

Wait, I have it right here:

What other online stores can Rx'ers support in order to put money in the Rx Muscle coffers?

Edit: Muscle Meals has been ordered.

I think this was one of the worst things that happened. I am so sorry for all of you - and totally agree that the MHP challenge crew got screwed.

I stopped buying MD a long time ago. Thanks to GV saying that we should all stop looking at oiled up men and look at women or porn, can't remember exactly what words he used. The fact they would let someone who is employed by them say something so against what they are trying to do- sell mags- is beyond me.
