Australian Natural Bodz Mag to Launch UK & USA versions? - Australia-bodybuilding Forums

Patricia · 06-12-2009, 12:00 PM

So I have read on the official WBFF website:

Quote:

Steve Jones also plans on launching an American and UK version of Australian Natural Bodz during the end of this year.

I’ll be launching both of those first covers as well as having the Ask Obi column in all of those magazines as well.

That quote is from an article by Obi Obadike on the site.

Obi, as we know recently came to Australia for the ANB Asia Pacifics in May.

Our interview with Obi will be posted later today - it's actually pretty good. He dished quite a lot of info about training, getting into the fitness model game, as well as his future plans to do with Australia & Steve Jones

I think he may be in for a little surprise. The US stands are flooded with fitness mags and the BNBF and NPA have a strong hold on Natural Bodybuilding over here in the UK.

Is it still going to be called Australian Natural Bodz?

Is the magazine successful in Australia?

I've never actually read it.

I picked up a couple copies of the Natural Bodz magazines when I was at the ANB comp and they were pretty good. Plenty of info about training, athlete profiles and national coverage of national bodybuilding comps in Australia.

I'm abit of a browser and check out flex, muscular development, men's health (love that mag) and health and fitness when I go into a magazine shop but don't usually buy any. Cheapskate eh, rather keep my $10 for the extra kg of chicken I can buy!

Gee, I'd hate to see the other magazines that you are reading if you thought Steve's mag was good.
It's just an ANB newsletter full of Powerzone ads.

I'd hate to embarass Steve's magazine, but if you want to PM a postal address I'll send you one over.

Hardcore Aussie Muscle is the only BB mag to read.

Does it contain reports and info from the INBA and WNBF or is it strictly ANB?

WNBF has a similar mag in the US call Natural Bodybuilding and Fitness. The only problem is it only features WNBF (Pro) & INBF (Amateur) athletes and competitions.
