In the next IRON MAN
Next month we’ve got an exciting new department:
It’s Eric Broser’s Muscle “In” Sites, a selection of
tantalizing Web sites, forums and news groups that
are loaded with cool bodybuilding stuff. Broser sifts
through the mess and gives you the best. It’s your
monthly Internet muscle menu. And with summer
right around the corner, we’ll have Stuart McRobert’s look at interval cardio, probably the fastest
way to drop the winter layer that’s hiding your abs.
Along the same line we have Ori Hofmekler, of Warrior Diet fame, analyzing stubborn fat and listing
the best ways of altering your diet to excise it. Plus,
we give the Arnold Classic our full-page-poster
treatment, hear more from the legendary Larry
Scott and go mental for more mass with Skip La
Cour. Watch for the eye-popping, jaw-dropping June
IRON MAN on newsstands the first week of May.

Publisher’s Letter
A Glimpse at
the Future
IRON MAN was the first of the bodybuilding
publications to go online. We saw the Web as a
way to expand our readership and publicize the
bodybuilding lifestyle to the world, and in 1997
we started to put up previously published articles, indexed so that people could find what they
needed. The digital age was upon us.
Our contest coverage went digital with the ’00
USA, and because of the new technology we were
able to get thousands of photos from the show on
IronManMagazine.com within hours. The Kodak
digital camera that I rented was two mega-pixels
and cost $500 for the weekend (the price of the
camera was more than $20,000). The photos were
uploaded on a hotel dial-up modem (thanks again, Helen, for around-theclock work).
All that sounds like ancient history now, considering that a two-mega-pixel
camera is a cell phone. The progress in the world of digital photography was
so rapid that within one year the whole magazine was being produced in the
digital domain. The digital revolution made it obvious that conventional contest reporting was obsolete, and to answer the need for instant contest reporting and news, we acquired GraphicMuscle.com and retooled it. IRON MAN,
as a hard-copy magazine, would still cover the major events but in a different
way, more to highlight our instant Web coverage.
We are fortunate to have the best contest reporter and emcee in the business, Lonnie Teper, onboard, as well as dedicated contest photographer Bill
Comstock. Because of them we can deliver as no other magazine can. When
you go to the Graphic Muscle site, you not only see Bill’s great images but you
can also hear what Lonnie has to say about the event and be only one click
away from listening to his interview with the winner or other celebrities. Ah,
the magic of the Web. Remember, this isn’t next week but on the same weekend that the event happens. Another IRON MAN first—and we’ve just had yet
another.
The 17th annual IFBB IRON MAN Pro bodybuilding competition was held
on February 18, 2006. We coventured with Russ DeLuca of Bodybuilding.com
and Travis Chapman, and for the first time the judging and the finals were
available live as a Webcast. Just as I thought that the Web was the best way of
presenting bodybuilding to the fans, I also believe that the fans worldwide
have no other way of actually seeing their heroes compete. Of course, nothing
replaces being there, but for every fan in the seats there are thousands around
the world who can view the Webcast. That’s the future of competitive bodybuilding as I see it. If you missed it live, go to GraphicMuscle.com and enjoy.
Let me know how you like our latest innovation that’s designed to bring you
the best coverage in the fastest possible way. Send comments via e-mail to me
at [email protected]. For our miniposter coverage of the IRON MAN Pro,
please turn to page 280 and let me know what you think of that as well. IM
