Best Mag for your buck

Missa Posts: 56 Joined: 2002/04/09	2002/05/20, 01:26 PM I was wondering what the best muscle/fitness magazine is out there. I don't plan on subscribing, just picking one up every now and then. Thanks for your suggestions!

mikencharleston Posts: 1,585 Joined: 2002/01/09	2002/05/20, 08:09 PM LOL Bad attempt at humor. Just my opinion but I wouldn't buy anything that Weider produces. There's a lot of quality products out there that's just as good and in most cases better that doesn't get a huge mark up for the Weider name.

qualters Posts: 343 Joined: 2002/04/21	2002/05/21, 01:38 PM Muscle&Fitness is a great mag. So is all of Weiders products. I bought an Olympic weight set by Weider about 3 years ago as a home gym and its the best money I have ever spent! It cost me 250.00 for 300 lbs of free wights, adjustable bench, complete spotter cage, tricep press, lat pull downs, leg extentions, ect...well u get the point....

For more information and to read the free issue go to _www.hardgainer.com_ -------------- Vaya con Dios... Keith
rev8ball Posts: 3,081 Joined: 2001/12/27	2002/05/21, 02:37 PM well, since we're now talking about our favorite "muscle" mags in general, here's my top 5 (no particular order): Jeff Everson's Planet Muscle Univeral Matters Testosterone Powerlifting USA Milo -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"
skinnyguy Posts: 86 Joined: 2002/05/03	2002/05/21, 02:41 PM Those must be special order mags because I didn't see any of those at Books a Million or Walden Books? -------------- Vaya con Dios... Keith

fireloard Posts: 665 Joined: 2001/03/27	2002/05/22, 12:25 AM Although I haven't subscribed to it yet (still considering it) the only mag that pretty much caught most of my intrest was one called Hardgainer ( http://www.hardgainer.com ) .. I saw on another board or website that I first heard of it on that the mag mostly focuses on natural bodybuilding and doesn't have very many ads in it...
mikencharleston Posts: 1,585 Joined: 2002/01/09	2002/05/22, 07:27 AM qualters - I don't know about the others but Everson's has a web site also (or at least it used too). planetmuscle.com
Missa Posts: 56 Joined: 2002/04/09	2002/05/22, 09:54 AM I checked out Planet Muscle and really like it. Muscle and Fitness Hers also looks good, but you can't preview the articles online, just see a list of the table of contents. Testoterone is a little too advanced for me, but had a few really great articles that you can print out/view online. Oxygen covers too many areas besides "light" fitness--it didn't really appeal to me but I see how some women would like it. I'll check out the other ones. Thanks all--thanks rev8ball-
