If you are heavily into the realm of strength training, olympic lifting, and powerlifting and I add the odd lifts of old. Strossen's MILO is #1. No cheeky adds about what to drink or take to get strong or muscular physique. This periodical(that is what it is, no worthless magazine)is not about bodybulding, although, If you strength train, oly lift or powerlift you end up with a good phsique. Milo does cover strongman comptition(I could do without this, it does not detract from the worth)and odd lifts are great to learn, know and do for on going physical culture. We all know that the top performers in aforemetioned sports take a lot of steroids and that will never change. I have been clean all my years of training and proud of my abilities. There are numerous articles about the real guys-before circa 1950 who did incredible feats without chemicals and that is why I love this mag. You learn many things that can help your training. The movements and training of old are still here today used by the few who have the information. Information is what separates mullets from people who really train. Milo delivers this info. As you collect these 4 periodicals a year, you can and will go back through when you want to train or do something new that motivates your training and success. This is a storehouse of info that you will never get from the Weider roid rags and others. PlUSA was a good mag, with the adds and hype it's becoming another comic book. If your goal is phsical culture impovement for you and you head MILO brings it.If you love strength you will love MILO. This magazine is more like a book! It covers Strongman, Arm wrestling, Highland games, Powerlifting, Olympic Lifting. It has training routines, contest reports, personality profiles from the past and present, and great photos too. If you really want to learn about real strength training or strength sports then put down those "bodybuilding" magazines you find on every newsstand, and subscribe to what real strongmen read. There is no B.S. in MILO. It is the real deal. subscribe today! I'm serious!First let me say I love MILO, I have learned many valuable training techniques & throughly enjoy sitting down to pore over it once it arrives. I also believe that to be successful you must surround yourself with success & reading MILO is a key part of that.
That being said, I just went to renew my subscription & found out about the 50% price increase ($53 -> $80). I don't think I can afford such a big jump.
Hopefully the folks at IronMind read these reviews & will consider a more reasonable price increase that would be within the means of less fiscally gifted lifters.This is to those of you who already know that MILO is an unique magazine devoted to strength training and competition in its many forms. Each of us, rich, poor, and in between, spends money on what personally matters to us, and no one else needs to agree with our purchases. If an increase of $6.75 per quarterly issue stops you from buying MILO, perhaps it's simply not that important to you. Perhaps.This is a great periodical for keeping current on developments and events in the world of strength and power. Authoritative training advice and good coverage of strenth and power events including power lifting, olympic lifting, track and field, worlds strongest man events, etc. The photography is excellent. Highly recommended for the fan of human strenght and brawn.
