I think they all suck. This board is all i need to learn new things.

**HORSE~** · 07-04-2006, 12:31 PM

MD's my favorite

**cfiler** · 07-04-2006, 12:52 PM

I'm not a fan of the magazines. They are all too product and sales orientated.

I'd rather research myself online for free.

**mwolffey** · 07-04-2006, 02:06 PM

Flex

**Superhuman** · 07-04-2006, 02:27 PM

MD is great, but half the pages are ads.

**zodiac666** · 07-04-2006, 02:35 PM

i grew up reading FLEX, it's what got me into bodybuilding and taught me just about everything i know. i like the fact that they have a lot of scientific articles instead of opinions fake articles that are just promoting supplements like musclemag.

lately i just buy MD every once and a while, but yea way to many ads

**lifterjaydawg** · 07-04-2006, 04:38 PM

I like the board better.

Mags = powderpushers

**J.S.N.** · 07-04-2006, 04:50 PM

they all suck except muscular development which only half sucks.

Muscle and Fiction is horrible dont waste your money.

Muscular Development is the best

**Warrior** · 07-04-2006, 11:56 PM

Muscular Development and Ironman have the best up-to-date and useful info regarding training, nutrition and drugs from credible authors... the rest of the mainstream mags are all redundant and a waste of money IMO...

Yeah MD is the only one I buy. And it has a section on Steroids as well

**guest589745** · 07-05-2006, 02:45 AM

I used to like MD and IM but I have no trust in them really anynmore. or any mag for that matter.

**Timm1704** · 07-05-2006, 08:56 AM

i grew up reading flex too, its what introduced me to competitive bodybuilding. but i havent read flex in about 2 years. i buy the occasional edition of MD, but there are only about 50 pages in there that i bother to read. muscletech owns that mag i swear

**Ejuicer** · 07-05-2006, 09:55 AM

MD or flex and m&f if I want a lighter read.

**unvme9180** · 07-05-2006, 10:02 AM

MD is the best hardcore mag. M&F is too mainstream. MD does have a lot of ads though

**firmechicano831** · 07-05-2006, 04:40 PM

I think its MD. I had flex for a year and about half the magazine was advertisements.

**ShnouzedUp** · 07-05-2006, 04:48 PM

MD for sure

This type of thing always gets posted in threads regarding what pubs people recommend for reading and I think it is poor advice. Hopefully you don't really believe that... prolly just trying to kiss some ass or something...

Basically, you are missing a lot of great information. The Internet is a good place for candid discussions and getting advice from personal experience but professional, printed publications are necessary for well-rounded knowledge regarding the issues at hand. If you simply get all your infornation from the message baords - IMO, God help you... Internet gospel can sometimes be very misleading.

For those that just use the boards: Go buy a few books from some credible coaches, MD's or the athletes themselves... read them front to back with a highlighter in hand, come up with some of your own conclusions, apply them and take notes - and then you will be a more productive member on the Internet boards.
