Men's Health seems to have a nice blend of overall lifestyle features, and not overly heavy on the ads.

I voted for men's health because it has the best variety, realistic goals, and isnt too filled with ads. I currently did a paper for school comparing magazines and found the october Muscle and Fitness to have 142 different ads in it. Plus they had a lot of advertising that look liked legit articles... could defiently be confusing to some. Men's Health is also has a very reasonable price for subscription. I also like some of there specail editions like the tech issue around to holidays. IMO they dont not seem to be bias when it comes to supplements which is nice, and finally i learned about the best training equipment i own thanks to them.

I voted for Flex. Reason: IMHO most magazines cover the same stuff over and over again, so I've pretty much read them all over the course of the last 13 years. Flex seems to cover a little bit better over all work out ideas, isolations, etc. I don't subscribe, but its at my gym. Does this count as a sentence? I do tend to read most publications that focus on more of the hard core training, but what you read and what you do are 2 different things right? Who am I kidding, I'll read anything you put in front of me. My girlfriend caught me reading her Redbook this last weekend.

My favorite print magazine is autoweek All of the bodybuilding related magaznes have way too much in ads. I do read them from time to time at the checkout in a grocery store, and occasionally do buy one but I'm inevitable disappointed. I can find all the disinformation I need online instead. Autoweek has a good mix of content on upcoming cars, long term (1yr) reviews of cars, racing news plus a little bit of comic relief on the last page every issue.

I voted for Fitness RX because they have a cool section where they have the latest scientific news and studies in variouse catagories! Now hand me thy PSlin please!

[xjsynx]

Well my favorite print was Penthouse, before the internet, other than that I dig Sports Compact Car.

But I voted for Ironman because I like reading what Skip La Cour has to say and Charles Poliquin also submits articles.

However, I don't buy any muscle rags. Just peep them at the grocery store and the like for the ads, and see if they have anything interesting thet haven't already covered....

I voted for Muscle and Fitness. After subscribing to many different in the past this is the one I am sticking with. It reaches out to people in all areas of fitness; the hardcore and the softcore, those focused on strength and also those focused on mass, those focused on nutrition / supplementing and also those focused on exercises. There is always tons of great info in there, regarding all aspects of the lifestyle. M&F FTW!!!

I voted for Muscular Development because it is the most entertaining print magazine devoted to bodybuilding. I enjoy the MD People section and the show coverage is more expansive than other mags. I enjoy the monthly columns from the boydbuilders in MD as well. They appear to be actually written by the bodybuilder as opposed to the stuff in other mags. I also enjoy the columns from PA, Llewellyn (sp.) and Hany Rambod. The recent addition of highlighing women's bodybuilding is also a plus.

i voted for fitness rx because i like the layout and organization of the magazine. their articles are quick, simple, and packed with scientific information on nutrition and exercise. the section covering all the latest scientific studies is unique to fitness rx and is my favorite part. for someone like myself with ADD, i don't get lost in it and end up reading it cover to cover. it is the only fitness magazine i continue to buy.

[avenue Red]

The reason I voted for Men's Health is because my Dad has been buying it for years and as I got into being more healthy I would tend to read it more and more. It interests me alot and its just something of habit when I go to the grocery store to buy it. It has alot of different stuff in it and not just one specific read so you get to read about alot more stuff.

[coug42]

I voted for Muscle & Fitness. THis is by far my favorite out of the above choices. It does have a lot of ridiculous ******Tech ads but if you can stomach those i think that it has a lot of good training articles. I especially enjoyed this latest issue because of the Bodypart workouts that they had in there. I also like the supplements section and the page where they put the free supp deals. Just my .02

Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera..."Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera..."Memo bis punitor delicatum!" It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! Your post was NOT longer than 5 sentences, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!

[Juicaholic]

I voted for Muscular Development because it is the only magazine that is very informative and entertaining. They cover all aspects of bodybuilding. They give you the truth. IMO it is the only magazine worth its cost. And as mentioned above it has alot of entertainment value. There are articles that will make you laugh and provide insight into things the other mags would never touch.

[NickW]

Powerlifting USA should be included in the poll! Thats my favorite magazine. You get good advice from all of the top lifters/coaches in the sport without them try to sell you something. The "6-page ad reports" in most magazines (and starting to appear in PLUSA much to my shagrin) are retarded. In most of the weider publications there are at least 3-4 of them.




I am also partial to this mag because I am a powerlifter, lol.

I like Planet Muscle probably more then any of those other magazines. First off Jeff Everson seems like he's a pretty decent guy and I remember watching him way back in the day on some bodybuilding show he had that was on real early in the morning. Anyone remember the name of it? They advertised for Powerblocks and it was one of the first places I saw creatine mentioned on TV. As for the magazine, there training info is pretty decent although Flex's might be better sometimes. However, they ALWAY have smoking hot chicks with amazing backsides. In fact I think there used to be a Glute Review section entitled "We like Em' Round". I like em round to so obviously that get's my vote. Then of course there is this direct quote from Planet Muscle;
Planet Muscle awarded USP Labs with "Most Innovative of 2006."

Obviously that speaks for itself.

Hey Nick, did you see the latest copy of Power Lifting USA? I was told they did a review of Cycle Support. I am still trying to get my hands on a copy. Let me know if you see it. And no we did not buy any ad space to get the write up

Thanks,

It was mentioned in one of the articles by that doctor guy, lol. I have the mag, its just at my dads house. If you want I might be able to scan a copy of the article and send it to you this weekend.

[CROWLER]

Nah that is ok. I am sure I can find a copy at one of the local gyms. Thank you for the offer.
