I was rumbling through the closet at my moms house - the room that used to be "my room" where I grew up. And voila, what did I find? 
Some of the FIRST muscle mags I ever bought hahaa...sweet! :igok: The oldest is when I was 13...Sep, 1977 issue of Muscle Training Illustrated - the price was $1.50! 
On the cover is Don Ross & Nubret both hitting ab shots. Some of you old schoolers may remember Dan Lurie - he was the publisher, and had his own line of supplements & equipment...one of ol' Weiders competitors.
I also ran across some old MuscleMags. And the best for last - some old Muscle Builder mags! Thats back before it was Muscle & Fitness of course - back then it ruled and was ALL bodybuilding! Funny to look back and scope out Weider's supplements ads and prices - heres a few that I messed with most...
90% Plus Protein Powder - 1 lb can - $5.95 (I used to live on this nasty tasting stuff!
)
Brewers Yeast - 360 tabs - $5.00
Super Lecithin - 100 caps - $4.00
Crash Weight Gain - 4 lb can - $8.50
Liquid Aminos - 16 oz. - $6.60
After Weider and Sergio had a "falling out" per se, you never seen Sergio pics/articles in Muscle Builder. However, Sergio was always in Muscle Training Illustrated and MuscleMag. Some featured but unforgotten names is Ron Teufel, Tony Pearson, Dave Johns, Manny Perry, Don Ross, Steve Davis, Pete Grymkowski, Roy Hilligan, Johnny Fuller, Kal Szkalak, Roger Walker, Danny Padilla, Roy Callender, Joe Nazario, Roger Callard, Carlos Rodriguez, John Brown, Steve Michalik to name several. Many of those you wouldn't see in Weiders mag bcoz of the federation wars of IFBB vs NABBA & WBBG. Weiders Muscle Builder regulars included Arnie (duh!lol), Robby, Platz, Menzter bros, Zane, Franco, Waller - the old Golds Gym gang.
