A downhill slide,
By J. Evans (Houston) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fitness Rx For Men (Magazine)
FitnessRx used to be a good magazine for those who take their training and health seriously. I say "used to be" because the magazine has deteriorated from serious periodical to typical muscle magazine over the past few years. What made me become a subscriber to FitnessRx was the fact that they were diligent about citing clinical research in their training and nutrition articles. This gave their pieces a weight and substance that is notably absent in the Weider/mainstream fitness magazines. It seemed like they were truly trying to do something different with this publication, to create something for the serious trainer who left the babes and barbells set behind about two presidents ago.
Over the past year, though, FitnessRx has descended from articles covering the latest research into conjugated linoleic acids to how to get a body that will help you score. The magazine has become exactly what people hate about the Weider publications. Articles about sex, MMA fighters and bikini models now make it more an homage to adolescence than anything resembling an attempt to disseminate relevant information about health and fitness. One article in a recent issue had the title--I'm not making this up--'Will You Die In Bed Having Sex With A Hot Babe?' Seriously. The crude language and mistakes that litter the text make it clear that a professional editorial staff is not currently in the budget. What's worse, FitnessRx is just as guilty as the Weider mags of blindly pumping supplements in the name of sponsorship. This may help their advertising revenues, but it does little to help the bewildered reader who is trying to make some sense of the innumerable unregulated products on the market. Bottom line: if you're serious about training, save your money and take your cues from authors like Poliquin from whom you might actually learn something worthwhile.

Great Fitness Magazine.,

This review is from: Fitness Rx For Men (Magazine)
I've had subscriptions to both Men's Health and Men's Fitness. The latest Men's Fitness which I still get (but not for long) is nearly all advertisements and embarassingly simple/useless workout stuff. Uh bench press, we know how that works-don't need it in every edition.
I just bought Fitness RX two weeks ago (Jan '08) and the pages are wearing out because I've been using the workouts and sharing the information with friends who are also quite impressed. Far less adverstising far better more useful and cutting edge type of information. The Jan '08 has a great section on High Intensity Interval Training with a sample workout template. Also has a great write-up on the "300" workout and a 3 level program to get there. Much better magazine for the money and I'll likely subscribe if the next edition is equally as impressive. Men's Fitness should be paying me to read it for all the money they must rake in on all the BS supplements advertisements showing 350lb roid freaks-yeah right! Get real and get Fitness RX.

Completely wrong.,

This review is from: Fitness Rx For Men (Magazine)
I picked this thing up while I was in a store today and came across the '300' workout. First, if I see one more 300 workout I'm going to throw myself off a cliff. Next, the photos I saw of the model doing kettlebell presses were completely wrong. Not only was the form wrong, it was dangerous. This workout also listed high skill exercises which I guarantee the average reader does not know how to do. Finally, People! The 'model' in the article did not achieve that build doing that workout. Simply doing 300 reps of something does not make it a 300 workout! Get thee to an RKC certified kettlebell trainer and get crackin'. You don't have enough time on this earth to waste it following routines displayed by oiled up steroid abusers. Don't mistake my tone for bitterness, I just hate to see people following advice that is so clearly a marketing ploy. The fitness industry doesn't care about you or the results you achieve, they only care about your wallet, so they tell you what they think you want to hear. You're better off working with a crossfit trainer or an RKC in a garage than working with a 20 year old clipboard carrier in the nicest corporate gym. Best of luck to all of you.
