A decent magazine for a hardcore gym rat..... |
|
I like this magazine a lot better than Muscular Development magazine. MD claims to be the biggest magazine, but that's to their disadvantage. MD is too hardcore, but after a while all the articles contain the same content. All of the pages are a lot of the same old stuff. Flex magazine is new and fresh every month. It is a little bit commercialized, but it makes it able to be read by either male or female workout enthusiasts/bodybuilders. It is filled with a lot of unorthodoxed workout routines to help add some spice to a plateauing workout. I used to subscribe to Flex, but switched to see what all the hype was about on all the other magazines. Now I'm back and I would definitely recommend this magazine to anyone who works out. |

Cheap, valuable info |
|
For training, supplements and nutritional advice, you have to own this. The health care innovations in supplements and the testing behind them now change as quickly as technology does. Every three to six months Pinnacle and the big boys bring out next generation products, and there's really no other way to stay on top of the industry without Flex. Plus, in every issue pro weight lifters give your day to day workout regime, with photos and techniques. That's more valuable than 100 hours of a personal trainer. |

Get Huge! |
So you want to get big. You want ladies to gaze approvingly at your body when you are at the beach, you want to make the football team and you want to be able to pummel the annoying nerds who yell out the answers in your math classes. Or you are approaching middle age, and you want to get those muscles back so you can feel like a kid again.
This is the magazine for you, my friend. Each issue is packed with advice on training and nutrition. There are articles by and about the top name bodybuilders. There are pictures that will inspire you to drop your copy of the magazine on the coffee table, hop in your car, put on some motivational music and drive to the gym. This is the best bodybuilding/weight-lifting magazine on the market today. Provided you are disciplined enough to follow the advice in the magazine, you will improve your appearance and you will feel more powerful. Men will look at you in awe, and women will look at you in lust.
Why do I only give this magazine 4 stars, then? Two reasons. First, I think there are too many advertisements in the magazine. It is annoying having to flip through them to find the articles. Second, I think that the magazine can get a bit repetitive. If you have read 15 issues of the magazine, you will start to see that the training articles are essentially the same. There is not that much difference between Chris Cormier's back workout and Kevin Levrone's back workout. These minor criticisms should in no way deter you from buying the magazine. It is worth reading because it will motivate you to go to the gym, watch your diet and stick to your workout regimen. I have been reading Flex for ten years, and I credit it for helping me develop discipline, and for improving my self-confidence (maybe it improved my self-confidence too much--look at how condescending some of my Americancivilwar.com reviews are!). Anyway, buy this magazine, eat 200 grams of protein a day, and get huge! Good luck.

Better than I thought |
This magazine surprised me when I picked up the October 04 issue. I had expected it to be as bad, if not worse than Muscle and Fitness, a magazine of rehashed info. The issue I picked up, however, had articles on upcoming, and top bodybuilders.
Full of color photos, the magazine is great motivation, and the workout info is great as well. I do, however agree, that most of the guys in there are probably juiced so much, an average guy shouldn't think he'll get that physique.
All in all, good info, good motivation (images). |

Is this what your really looking for? |
|
Flex is a great magazine. I'm not afraid to say it, but what I am afraid to say is that every person in this magazine is on about a thousand dollar a month steroid budget. I liked the training tips given, however, and I think that the routines are well-rounded, and give people much more muscle. If you are an incredibly intense musclehead, then this magazine is for you. If you are intrested in looking good rather then having "sick" biceps then try a magazine like Muscle and Fitness, a more fitness diversified magazine. |
