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.
