What’s New

Hi Everyone,

It’s been a busy couple of weeks at Muscle&Fitness and Men’s Fitness. The February issue of M&F hits newsstands everywhere on January 30. There’s a ton of great content in there, including the start of 2012 Rock Hard Challenge designed by Dr. Jim Stoppani. I had the great pleasure of writing M&F’s first story on newly-minted Mr. Olympia Phil Heath. We get inside how he turned his back, which was one of his biggest weaknesses early in his career, into one of his greatest strengths. I also interviewed the always lovely Jessa Hinton, who gets a pictorial I’m sure every guy will appreciate. Jessa’s currently up for Playmate of the Year honors.

It turns out he was more frustrated than just about anyone realized and vented about it: http://www.mensfitness.com/sports/athletes/brandon-jacobs-people-can-say-what-the-hell-they-want-to-say Reaction stories can be found here:
