Pros: Lots of ad revenue for the publisher, a few good tidbits on nutrition
Cons: Ads, chemical supplements, lots of chemical supplements, photography for awe effect
Summary: One look at the cover of Flex magazine and it becomes obvious that the creation of muscleman extraordinaire Joe Weider had a vision for body builders. With big guns and its hefty 300 plus page size, this is the big daddy of weightlifting ...

Pros: The only magazine for serious weightlifters
Cons: Intimidating, "sex factor"

Pros: 3 time Mr. Olympia 77, 78 and 79 Frank Zane with his wife Christina.
Cons: I would love to see more stuff on people like this.

Pros: This magazine can give you and unrealistic goal
Cons: bodybuilding the wrong way for the wrong goal
Summary: I can't stand these types of magazines that depict body building in an unhealthy way. The only reason you should go to the gym is to get healthy, and feel good. I can't imagine taking steroids like the men in this magazine obviously do, to cause your...

Pros: Much info, nice pics
