Summary: One of the last real Natural Bodybuilding Magazines
Comment: Before Natural Bodybuilding and Fitness I subscribed to Natural Physique. It is a bit pricey but you get some realistic workouts and tips if you compete naturally. The new magazine is NB&F and has succumbed to more supplement advertisements. No different than the others etc. Also it has alot of info on female bodybuilding. Again I think they have to go broad in audience to get the revenue to keep it going. The editorial director, Steve Downs, has been with the magazine I recall since the early 90s when it was Natural Physique. I like Flex Mag too but workouts are 4-5hours long and every picture shows an athlete on steroids. If you have a day job and want to get some real info buy this magazine and supplement with another magazine to see the Zoo Animals. I like the other reviewer's "package" comments. Yep the guys in "the other mags" with all the steroids lost there packages long ago...

Summary: one of the few
Comment: One of the few magazines that covers natural bodybuilding. They cover alot of interesting advancements with this magazine. Not just with training and contest dieting but with supplements as well geared. I remember reading an article about N-acetyl glutamine about 5 or 6 years ago and only currently are companies adding it to their supplements.

Summary: a mixed bag
Comment: Yes, this mag promotes a drug-free regimen to achieve a physique. No, this is NOT a "straight" man's periodical, although at first glance it could perhaps pass for one. The guys who are photographed in each issue are always wearing either briefs or shorts that accentuate the "package" UNneccessarily. The purpose of the angles or lighting or cling-clothing is to draw or satisfy those readers who actually relish seeing their models or illustrations with a generous or suggestive endowment. The downside is two-fold: unless one is "gay"/bi-sexual or doesn't much care about the 'noise' (can mentally screen it out), potential readers who would subscribe for other reasons (especially the drug-free theme) would likely opt OUT of signing up; 2, the writers of the "Natural Bodybuilding and Fitness" mag might be a doubly-rarified genre, in that they BOTH are into a drug-free training environment AND ALSO are into guy's crotches. Not that I have anything against either specialty, yet the idea that those guys who are into a drug-free method of achieving healthy bodybuilding results must put up with the distraction of viewing judiciously-posed photographed "examples" of the articles' topics is rather ?strange? or at times unappetizing (some perhaps would venture to say 'downright revolting'). Do please click "yes" to answer "Was this review helpful to you?"; the fact that you have been forewarned about the mixed-message contained within this quarterly periodical (only 4 times a year) might dissuade you from mistakenly subscribing (especially at the rate quoted, which could get you Flex or Ironman instead). I add for good measure that the "Chelo Publishing Inc" house is located on one of the tippy-top floors of the Empire State Building (I checked them out a few years back to see where my money was going before I shelled out my precious moulah). Basically, I think they publish whatever will sell; I saw no bodybuilding posters or fitness-themed material displayed there. To the dude who has a fiancee who knows you to be straight, do not subscribe to this rag at home or put it on your coffee table. To female bodybuilders who would prefer to sculpt a proportioned physique withOUT drugs, I'd say that were this color glossy free it might be a lark, yet being that it's got men's bodies in mind (no features for dudettes), you'd have to do some mental gymnastics in order to tailor the prescriptions given within its pages for specific use by a woman. 'Nuff said?
