I Know I'm Late To The Party

But for fuck sakes, how does T-Nation not realize that their new awesome product is full of homosexual innuendo?

Or is that the point?

REPS! Magazine

Saw the summer issue at CVS today. Loved it.

Well, I loved it in the sense that it was awesome.

Well, it was awesome in the sense that it was ridiculous.

The dude on the cover was a juice monkey. He wasn't a juice monkey like Jay Cutler, but had way too big arms for his waist, and he had an absolutely ripped and photoshopped six pack.

And, if I read the magazine, I could have abs like that in just 29 days.

Fuck yes.

I only had time to read the letter from the publisher, who said that Reps was already outselling "the other fitness magazines" even though he declined to identify "the other fitness magazines" despite mentioning that fact a second time. He said that the magazine was geared to the guys with the 17 inch arms, because guys with 17 inch arms should train like the guys with 23 inch arms. Whatever the hell that means.

(And on a quick perusal of the contributors, I must admit that when I saw "Jimmy Pena, CSCS" I wondered if Jimmy Smith had gone into the witness protection program and started writing for REPS! magazine.)

I didn't want to pay the cover price and I would have rather been seen buying the Michael Jackson issue of OK! magazine, so I figured that I'd check out their website tonight.

HA!

I give the magazine three more issues, tops.

FAT PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET SWINE FLU!!!!

Sometimes the jokes write themselves

This is Ridiculous I

In what will be a recurring feature on this not-read blog, the first "This is Ridiculous" post goes to Joe Cannon.

No, he's not related to Nick Cannon. Who is a gigolo with lots of hos spending lots of dough.

In honor of Joe's post, here's what I've learned from Michael Jackson.

1. That little babies are not to be dangled over balconies

2. That you're not supposed to sleep with little boys, even if you have your clothes on.

3. That dying my skin black would probably be easier and less time consuming than it was to dye Michael's white.

4. That Billie Jean is not my girl either.

5. That Man in the Mirror is the most ironic song ever.

6. That cable news sucks even more than I thought it did.

7. That his death shouldn't be the topic of a post geared to fitness professionals.
