Muscle And Fitness Magazine Review

Almost everyone at all dedicated to weight lifting has at least glanced through the pages of Muscle And Fitness Magazine. Each issue is packed with weight lifting routines, nutritional advice, supplement and equipment reviews, and even some focus on lifestyle issues (such as fashion, grooming, and sex). In addition, there is a good amount of professional bodybuilding contest coverage as well as interviews with bodybuilders and celebrities. Muscle And Fitness is the most popular of all bodybuilding magazines and is geared for both men and women of all levels of weight lifting experience.
Every article in Muscle And Fitness Magazine is very detailed and descriptive with lots of accompanying pictures for further assistance to readers. Everyone can learn at least one new way to improve their weight lifting routine because a great deal of emphasis is placed on proper execution as well as little tweaks and variations of free weight exercises. Another topic covered to some extent in every issue is human anatomy and how to choose the appropriate exercises and equipment for development of specific muscle groups. However, as with the majority of bodybuilding magazines, it is advised to place more focus more on the written content and use the photos for further clarification (the insane amount of weight lifted and occasional omission of barbell collars can sometimes mislead beginners). Whether a beginner to weight lifting or an advanced lifter in search of new ways to improve a routine,  there is something for everyone.
Muscle And Fitness is not as hardcore of a bodybuilding magazine as Flex and therefore contains fewer interviews with professional bodybuilders and less contest coverage (although both topics are covered to a fairly large extent). Also the workout routines are not quite as intense as those featured in Flex or Muscular Development, making it a potentially more appealing magazine choice for beginners and intermediate weight lifters. Unfortunately there are two downsides that deserve to be mentioned. First of all, Muscle And Fitness is the most promotional of all bodybuilding magazines and contains a very large number of multi-page supplement and equipment advertisements, sometimes even disquised as weight lifting articles. Secondly, the majority of photos are of very muscular men and women, unlike the majority of lifters in search of fitness information. Despite these flaws, the information and articles contained in every monthly issue is beneficial for creating or modifying a routine.
