More changes are taking place in the bodybuilding publishing world. Today Muscular Development magazine fired Dave Palumbo and John Romano. Dave and John were both supporters of female bodybuilding while at the magazine but were also two of the most out-spoken people in the industry. The reasons for the termination are not yet known. Dave Palumbo works with a number of competitors on their diet and nutrition as well as running Species Nutrition. John Romano was part of MD for over a decade as one of their more talented writers. The two also ran No Bull Radio, which has been cancelled as well. According to owner Steve Blechman they already have someone new in place to run their online efforts. Blechman wrote on their message board, “We are pleased to announce that Robbie Durand will be the new Editor in Chief of www.musculardevelopment.com effective today.”
It will be a story to watch in the coming weeks to see if this is good or bad for the women in the industry. Stay tuned for more info as it develops.
