Flex's Drug World, while not condoning steroids, is bringing all the facts up to date with this relatively new section. Contest coverage includes the Night of Champions, Canada Pro Cup, and the Florida Pro. On the cover is Paul Dillett, and Shawn Ray. Can you guess which one has no hair? Actually, a month later, right before the NPC USA, Paul shaved off his hair also.

Flex Magazine considers themselves the bible of hardcore bodybuilding. Each month, Flex visits and speaks with the champions of bodybuilding at their gyms, at contests, and at their homes, gathering information and photographs, Flex brings you their latest strategies, and the competitive goals that they apply to further develop their title-winning physiques. Flex is the official magazine of the IFBB.
