Muscular Development has changed its name. The new name is All Natural Muscular Development, with the All Natural in smaller letters. It is part of the magazine's new outlook on natural bodybuilding, and to shy away from the hardcore look. This month's cover features Bill Davey. Interesting stories include the great IFBB drug debate, and a nice pictorial on Alexandra Beres, the 1996 Ms. Fitness World.

Muscular Development, by Twinlab, is another serious bodybuilder magazine that concentrates on natural bodybuilding, but also covers fitness and health related items. They pride themselves on giving its readers extensive coverage on the cutting edge of training, diet and nutrition articles.
