    I would say 2 to 3 years if they don't do the necessary adjustment (which they probably won't )
    David Cua also called Donald Pump known for "making bodybuilding great again" !

    Hard to find a copy of MD in Canada to flip through on a shelf anymore. Walmart and a bunch of places stopped carrying the magazine sometime last year. Our largest grocery chain, Loblaws, may or may not still carry it.

    P.S. I wonder with Lou Ferrigno signed to MD now if Blechman would still have to get in line at an expo and pay for an autographed photo?

    A year is being kind. They have already moved to a different office location (I am assuming it's smaller, but have not seen it to compare), cut back on the frequency of the FitnessRX For Men title from 6 to 4 issues a year, separated the supplement line company AML from ARM (the magazine end) and it's also a good bet to say that the other two titles (FRX Women and MD) will not be publishing the same amount as last year. Either way, the page count (editorial and, more importantly from a publishing standpoint, advertisements) has gone way down for all three.

    There is no money coming in. None. Is the MD supplement super store creating revenue? Noo

    And Ron Harris is there because he needs a j.o.b. even though he's owed 100k. Dayyyyummm that's cash. I would of left in a heartbeat

    My God, Loblaws is still around. They left the states years ago and it was my first real job in 1971 as a produce clerk.

    My thoughts exactly, I don't want to see them go under but I don't understand everyone's obsession with seeing them fail. Get a life.

    They shut down the MD supplement store years ago. It was a total disaster and when you give the useless son-in-law a position of power, that's what happens. Everything that retard Brian touches blows up in his face.

    Anyone who wants to work for me and have their tab reach 100K is more than welcome to apply. *sarcasm*

    They need to shift away from paper. It's dying. Focus funds on stronger online and social media presence. Develop an App, etc.
