But social media could have kept MMI in the game. It's vaporized, but had Kennedy embraced the web then he would have had a jump on Rx Muscle as an entity. Jeff Maltby was a photo editor for the print magazine, posted online, but was more enamored of the Oxygen side of the net than the MuscleMag side. They (whoever was responsible for their forum) allowed MMI to die online. Unfortunate.
I mean, you said that mags you've subscribed to are defunct, right? So while throwing money at a print magazine is clearly no guarantee that it will continue to show up on the newsstand, there's no question that people will be enjoying their tablets, phones, etc., for years to come. MuscleMag could possibly have been part of this social media era.Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Join Rx Muscle on Facebook!

A couple of things. I once submitted an idea to Musclehedz & told him he could use it, & he did. It was a sign of "Shoulder work ahead" in the gym.
Bob Kennedy was old school & close to the end of the line when the 'net hit. Although he got good distribution on newsstands all over the world (I could easily find Musclemag in London when I lived there, but no American mags), his subscription base was poor (about 500 total)--he often printed the legally required annual selling stats in tiny print so you couldn't read them. That meant he had to have a strong "sell through" rate. Sell through means how many issues you have to have on the stands to sell ONE copy. Most mags have a 25-30% sell through rate, meaning most issues go back to the distributor & get their covers torn off & the issue thrown away. That's why Musclemag put so many cheesecake features into its issues in the '90s, to get men to pick it up & thumb through it. So many, in fact, that it was flagged as a sex mag that had to be sold under the counter. He stopped doing it as much as a result.
I saw Kennedy at the 2003 Jan Tana Classic/Masters Olympia in Charlotte, NC. He had the most gorgeous figure competitor I had ever seen on his arm. After the tragedies he had gone through with his family, it was the least he deserved.Last edited by hifrommike65; 06-26-2017 at 04:06 PM.
