Advantages: the occasional article on food or wellbeing

Disadvantages: poorly construced workout regimes, glossy ads, unattainable images of 'healthiness'

mens health, on the face of it, looks like a really informative magazine for those men wanting to get in shape, spice up their love life etc. having spent good money over the years on this magazine, i was disappointed at the amount of rubbish in it. the only good sections were articles on food and maybe some of the fashion bits. the actual bits on exercises and regimes were just rubbish. you can get everything you need for free on the menshealth forum on their website. and i have used the advice from members on their to get results, not the rubbish advice given in the magazine. the problem with the magazine is that is sets you up for failure so that you continue to buy the magazine for new ideas. if you bough the magazine once and suddenly dropped the pounds then you would just keep doing what you were doing and would never need to buy the magazine again!
so they give you some poorly designed regime that is so complicated that you will never stick to it, then in the next issue they print something totally different to try and all gets confusing.
if you regularly buy mens health then have a look at their website forum. you can ask members for advice and post your personal body details and goals. speaking from experience i know that this works. the way i found out how to pack on some weight and muscle effectively was not through the magazine, but through the website forum. and its all free!
ok, if you like reading articles on how to find your lovers g spot with your big toe then the magazine may be better for that. but in general the magazine is fully of glossy ads, fitness nonense, and pictures of adonis like men that nobody will ever actually look like if they did what the magazine told them!
you are paying them to make you fail! if you are reading this article then you are only a click away from finding out where the real advice is so try that

Summary: a crock of consumeristic s***
