Muscle & Fitness Magazine

Pros: A lot of good, detailed information.

Cons: Hard core bodybuilders on steroids

The Bottom Line: This is a great magazine for people who weight train as long as you don't take the amazing muscles too seriously. The information is terrific.

Review: Joe Weider s magazine Muscle & Fitness was a staple in my house for several years. What I used to do after I became a Personal Trainer several years ago was cut out the articles that I thought would help me train my clients. Needless to...

Pros: Photography, recipes, some of the routines

Cons: Too many damn ads, fluff articles, self-promotion

Review: 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...

Pros: A lot of practical information, less fluff than general women's fitness mags

Cons: Lots of ads; still some silly content

Review: 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...

Pros: Helpful fitness advice, models are the perfect specimens of the human body.

Cons: There are 269 pages, however 149 of them are ads!

The Bottom Line: Sadly this magazine does not do his name "Joe Weider" justice.

Review: 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: Well written articles; fantastic pictures; great for the average weight trainer

Cons: I didn't like the fashion section

The Bottom Line: This is a great magazine. Just what I needed.

Review: I thought it couldn t be done.

A fitness magazine for women that truly works!

Joe and Betty Weider have outdone themselves with their new magazine Muscle & Fitness Hers "for women who want more out of fitness." Unlike the...

Pros: Great magazine, great contents

Cons: No time to read every single article

Review: 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...

Pros: Best of the musclehead mags...

Cons: The Sears catalog of muscle food...

Review: 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: Excellent information, Workouts, Diets, Health alerts

Cons: I finish reading it too quickly and am always waiting for the next issue

Review: 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.
M&F...

Pros: Nice glossy pictures, great for a laugh

Cons: 80% ads for supplements which are unnecessary, 20% poor training advice

The Bottom Line: This publication and others like have the general, and often well meaning, public completely snowed. Invest your money in more practical publications such as Hard Training.

Review: 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...

Pros: The photo of Maria Ford

Cons: I like the way it used to be.

Review: 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...
