Currently right now Im reading Mens Health and Muscle and Fitness as they provide great tips to live healthy, eat right, perform correct workouts and learn new workouts in the process. Muscle and Fitness though has about 1000000 supplement advertisements which is the only downfall in my opinion.

I have also read Flex which just seem geared to "intense" bodybuilders which was interesting all around but not my cup of tea.

Lately since my issues of Electronic Gaming Monthly got cancelled (I guess they went out of business or something) I started receiving Maxim, then out of nowhere started getting Rolling Stone which both magazines are horrible haha.

What kind of magazines/lifting magazines do you all read?

The only magazines I have a suscription for are DSport and TrackDriver (UK mag), none of which are anything to do with health and fitness.

I don't ready any magazines HOWEVER when I first started lifting I subscribed to Men's Health and my first workout was from the magazine. It was a full body workout that I started as twice a week and then three times a week. I was a subscriber for probably 3-5 years. I also used to be a Maxim Magazine and a Stuff Magazine (also made by Maxim) and was for a lot of years however I lost interest in magazines as don't have the time to read them.

Men's Health isn't a bad magazine at all, its just that im 22 right now and there are posts in the magazine that contain information for gentlemen around 40-50 years and up which of course, isn't in my age group. I mean the articles are interesting but started losing interest a tad after I read a few. Our company gets Muscle and Fitness, Men's Health, Flex and a few others. I brought all of my Maxim magazines and Rolling Stone's to work for Graphic Design inspiration and such though

FLEX just scares the hell outta me every time I see their cover. There's one other mag with some giant, almost-hulk-like creature on the front.

I don't read too many mags. Lots of web sites though.

I used to sub to Mens Health and Muscle and Fitness, but I never read them. I usually find the info I want online.

Haha true true internet is always there and for what you need, sometimes though when you feel awkward bringing the laptop in the bathroom with you, you have got to have a magazine on hand :P

Hahahahah glad to hear that we are bathroom material, I do the same as well....but with my laptop haha, don't have a phone that can get good signal in there plus takes a while to load so when your not feeling well or so, always bring the laptop in and do some forum posts, helps pass the time ;)

What's wrong with bringing the laptop into the bathroom? :confused: I do it all the time. I sit it on top of my laundry basket. :cool:

Picked up a copy of Muscle & Fitness. Gotta say I may very well subscribe. One of the only magazines that seemed to have real substance.

I used to read Men's Health but realized I can get my fix online. I like to read the articles at bodybuilding.com, some good stuff there.
