Bad Habits

Bad habits.

F**k knows why I do it but I find myself every month in the supermarket end eventually will pick up and by either Men’s Fitness or Men’s Health, mostly It will be an article that caught my eye like the recent article in Men’s Fitness on CrossFit.

I will take the magazine home, pour myself a cuppa and read through the magazine/s, this is when I realise I have bought utter crap AGAIN! It seems most of the magazines are dedicated to the elusive six pack, adverts for the latest T booster, the right trainers to go with the right f***ing scarf! ENOUGH.

Some of the form demonstrated in these magazines is absurd and bloody dangerous, not that I’m a form guru or anything but I have some knowledge when it comes to this.

The writers who go on the six weeks challenge and get a six pack (who are tanned and holding their stomachs In the pictures!) piss me off as well, yeah anyone get a six pack, maybe it helps that they are pumped full of every known supplement (all free of course) with access to a personal trainer, top notch gyms and time off to train, put a normal guy, 45 hour week, two kids, nagging wife, no money for supplements, barely enough money for decent food, a crap gym with a spotty git who tells you would be better off with the pec deck and lets see.

Anyway who gives a f**k about the six pack, is it an indicator of superior fitness? No it is evidence of low bodyfat and f**k all else

Yet still I buy these bloody magazines, at the cost of these two magazines I could have had a decent book or a hair cut (maybe not a hair cut, they’re getting dear these days).

Maybe the men’s magazines have burden to bear on the impact of today’ men as I believe the female ones do on the females, if you are unworldly or unwisely then you may be lead to believe that the road to happiness, wealth, f**king that dream girl all comes from the six pack, wearing the new cologne and wearing the right trainers with the right scarf.

I HERBY PLEDGE TO NEVER BUY ANOTHER MEN’S HEALTH OR MENS FITNESS MAGAZINE, I WILL ONLY BY MAGAZINES/BOOKS THAT TALK SENSE AND AREN’T FIXED ON THE SIX PACK/BETTER BODY IDEALS OF PUBSCEUNT TEENAGERS. (I may read an interesting article in one of these magazines whilst in a store but will then turn to the right scarf with the right trainers section, feel disgusted and storm out of the store with an angry face)
