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 McRob-ert’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 War-rior 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.

26 MAY 2006 \ www.ironmanmagazine.com

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 arti-cles, 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-the-clock 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 con-test reporting was obsolete, and to answer the need for instant contest report-ing 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 busi-ness, 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 week-end 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 body-building 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 ironleader@aol.com. 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
