The January MuscleMag contains an interesting story of an anonymous bodybuilder and what he takes during his daily routine in life. Whether it is all true is left for speculation, but it makes a good story. Other interesting pictures include a swimsuit issue that contains both men and women, an equal opportunity magazine. Also, a report that steroids are not as bad for you as it is proclaimed. The cover features Eddie Robinson, and a friend.

Robert Kennedy's Musclemag International prides itself in the principle of building health, fitness and physique, and considers themselves the 'What's New' Magazine of Bodybuilders. This magazine covers all bodybuilding events and techniques, and has excellent pictures. Serious bodybuilders will enjoy this magazine.
