Muscle & Fitness Magazine

Pros: A lot of good, detailed information.
Cons: Hard core bodybuilders on steroids

Pros: Helpful fitness advice, models are the perfect specimens of the human body.
Cons: There are 269 pages, however 149 of them are ads!

Joe Weider’s Muscle & Fitness Magazine usually features a muscular woman and male on the glossy cover. Of course the models are the perfect specimens of the human body. However since I have a healthy dose of self-esteem so I braved through the super...

Pros: Photography, recipes, some of the routines
Cons: Too many damn ads, fluff articles, self-promotion

I'm a regular at the gym and as a result I'm always looking for a better training regimen. Many books and periodicals on fitness and bodybuilding abound. One of the more prominent magazines is Joe Weider's Muscle and Fitness, which is the flagship...

Pros: A lot of practical information, less fluff than general women's fitness mags
Cons: Lots of ads; still some silly content

At last, a weight training magazine that doesn’t completely frighten me or insult my intelligence. In my ongoing attempt to look like a buff amazon, I have been buying all the muscle mags that looked like they stood a chance of being more than Cro-Magnon...

Pros: Well written articles; fantastic pictures; great for the average weight trainer
Cons: I didn't like the fashion section

Pros: Great magazine, great contents
Cons: No time to read every single article

I have been weight lifting since I was in college, which is about 14 years. No, I am not a dedicated or professional bodybuilder, but I did have my moments. I enjoy weight lifting for various reasons, but most of all, I love it because it is a stress...

Pros: Best of the musclehead mags...
Cons: The Sears catalog of muscle food...

During the 60's, Joe Weider built a bodybuilding empire on the complacent mounds of sun and surf pulp mags that could be found at any newsstand. His closest competitor, Muscular Development, featured a staff of sports trainers, physicians and...

Pros: Great up-to-date information, good suggestions for everyone
Cons: The price ($5.99.)

Whether you're just starting out with a beginner's regimen with low-key exercising or a big n' ripped musclehead, Muscle and Fitness's a great little magazine to dive into.

From information about dieting and supplementation, or illustrated...

Pros: Excellent information, Workouts, Diets, Health alerts
Cons: I finish reading it too quickly and am always waiting for the next issue

If you throw around a few weights in a haphazard fashion you may see some minor, short term gains. But if you execute exercises properly, at the right time, with the proper rest and nutrition, then you will see your fitness goals achieved.
...

Pros: Nice glossy pictures, great for a laugh
Cons: 80% ads for supplements which are unnecessary, 20% poor training advice

This publication is simply another way for Joe Weider to push his unnecessary and, in some cases, harmful nutritional supplements on the general public. The training information is completely unrealistic for the average individual who lives an everyday...

Pros: The photo of Maria Ford
Cons: I like the way it used to be.

If you want to achieve the desired results that Steve Reeves accomplished with his body, this is not the magazine for you. On the other hand if your goals are too looked bulked up like a steroid bull, by all means subscribe to all of Joe Weider's...

Pros: Great for beginners
Cons: Old School and boring

I can't believe all of these people are complementing a product of Joe Weider. Joe Weider is an icon of the past people. He will continue to take credit for training schemes, diets, and even new supplemenrts, that are basically knock-offs from others...

Pros: GOOD REVIEWS
Cons: THIS IS THE NON-NAME BRAND MAGAZINE

This magazine has some good pictures of no-name bodybuilders and never gives an original routine. They also seem to belief in the holy grail of supplements because they fill their magazine with supplement adds and reviews which is not all bad but seems...

Pros: None
Cons: Use scare tactics to get money when the never sent me anything!

I am updating my previous review of Muscle and Fitness Hers Magazine. To this date, I have still not received any issues. Weider Publications has sent me to collections. After several letters, Weider Publications has finally canceled my account, but...

Pros: Great information, inspiring
Cons: viewed as only for muscle-heads

I first picked up an issue of Muscle and Fitness last year with the notion of achieving super hero status. Every guy knows what I'm talking about. You read those comics, you see those huge muscles you think, hey, I can be like that.
I...
