History

Founded in 1983[3] by Canadian entrepreneur Joe Weider, local versions (essentially the U.S. content with local advertisements) are now published throughout the world, in countries such as the UK and Australia. The premier issue was dated April 1983, and featured Chris Dickerson on the cover.[2] Flex centers more on "hardcore" and professional bodybuilding, as opposed to its companion publication Muscle & Fitness, which has a more mainstream fitness focus.

In March 2018 it was announced that Flex magazine would merge with Muscle & Fitness to become one magazine. Flex also combined with the Muscle & Fitness website as well. The last print issue was published in May 2018.[3]

gollark: No, it wouldn't work even with more users, it's just a stupid idea.
gollark: I mean, I'd call this an alpha of season/version 2.
gollark: No, the demand system is broken.
gollark: I mean, S1/V1 wasn't really an alpha, and this is definitely not beta-quality.
gollark: Can we go for "v1"/"original MemeEconomy"/"season 1" for the old version which was upvote-based, and "v2 alpha"/"season 2 alpha" for the current horrible mess?
