Editor’s Letter By Steve Blechman

THANK YOU,

BEN…

…For What You Have Done

For The Sport

I first heard the sad news of Ben

Weider’s passing on Friday, October

17 th . At the time, I was with my wife

and kids visiting our parents (and

their grandparents) in Florida. My

28-year-old daughter also hap-

pened to get engaged while we

were visiting.

In person, Ben was very easy to

talk to and always a gentleman

with great elegance. Ben lived a full

life, with many achievements that

touched many people’s lives. He

was also a promoter and passion-

ate Ambassador of the International

Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB). Ben had an amaz-

ing career. What a success story! Ben and his brother

Joe were great businessmen and through their vision

and hard work, they helped build the Weider Empire.

They were also instrumental in launching Arnold

Schwarzenegger’s career in the United States.

Ben’s contributions to bodybuilding are insur-

mountable! If it were not for Ben and the vision of his

brother, Joe (the father of bodybuilding), the sport

would not be what it is today. Ben built the best feder-

ation in the world, where the best bodybuilders in the

world call it home. No one can deny that and he has

my utmost respect. Thank you, Ben, for the opportuni-

ty and all you have done for us. Rest in peace.

Moving on…looking at this

cover of Dennis Wolf, you have to

ask: “What the fuck happened to

him at the O?” Well, if you read the

interview on page 196 you will find

out, among other things, that he

lost 15 pounds of muscle the last

two weeks on a zero-carb diet! I’m

not a fan of low-carb diets for

building muscle. It’s great for fat

loss, but at the expense of losing

lean muscle mass. “Assisted” body-

builders have less of a concern, but

it’s still an issue for some guys.

Low-carb diets lower testosterone,

insulin and IGF-1, 3 important anabolic hormones.

Low-carb diets also increase cortisol, a catabolic hor-

mone plus increase blood acidity which can also

enhance muscle protein breakdown. I think low carbs

were a mistake for Dennis. He also had an abdominal

hernia, which accounted for his stomach protruding.

He is having surgery in a couple of weeks to fix it and

will be back training for the Olympia in January.

Toney Freeman, on the other hand, seems to do

very well on low carbs. He’s also into some other

freaky shit. I was speaking to Toney on the phone ask-

ing him if he cheats on his low-carb diet and he

assured me he doesn’t. He went on to tell me some of

his X-Man training secrets (you can check out part one

28 MD

www.musculardevelopment.com January 2009

www.fantamag.com

By Steve Blechman Publisher & Editor-in-Chief

on page 228 ), which include these crazy weekly colonics and

branched-chain amino acid suppositories! I’m telling ya, this guy

gives new meaning to the word “freak!”

Part two of Victor Martinez’s comeback can be found on page

242 . This was shot of course at the ultimate hardcore gym,

Metroflex. I know you need heavy weight to build muscle and

that was a concern considering Victor’s injury, but I’m happy to

see he has kept his size. This is going to finally be Victor’s year.

All he has to do is get in shape and he will finally get the

Olympia he has been denied for the last two years.

Speaking of Victor, check

out page 212 for another

installment of Cyber Wars.

This time, Flex Wheeler pits

Victor against both Phil

Heath and Dexter Jackson.

Guess who wins?

On page 264 , the Under

202 Olympia Showdown

has David Henry up against

Lee Priest in 2009. Who do

you think will win? Lee is

also featured on page 256 in

his Olympia confessional,

where he critiques this

year’s Olympia. As you can

imagine, it is pretty enter-

taining reading.

John Romano rounds out

the features this month on

page 280 , with an interest-

ing look at the future of

bodybuilding now that con-

vention has been tossed

into the wind, along with

the incumbent champ, and

Dexter Jackson is Mr.

Olympia. Does Dexter’s aus-

picious victory indicate it’s

out with freaks and in with

the physiques?

Finally, you guys have

been after me to put more

babes in the magazine, so

I’m giving you what you

want. On page 288 , I’m giv-

ing you 13 pages of the best

of 2008’s Major Distractions.

No words, just sizzling-hot

pictures. Enjoy.

The rest of the book is packed as always with all the news and

information you need to build your best body by the very best

experts our industry has to offer. See you next month!
