Iron Man Magazine

Iron Man Magazine, America’s oldest fitness magazine in circulation, was founded in 1936 by Peary and Mabel Rader of Alliance, Nebraska. In the early 1950's, Iron Man Magazine was the first weight-training publication to show women working out with weights as part of their overall fitness regimen. In 1986, the Raders sold the magazine to John Balik and Mike Neveux, who re-positioned the magazine as a hardcore bodybuilding publication. On January 1, 2015 entrepreneur Binais Begovic and his wife Dr. Catherine Begovic purchased the company. Begovic’s goal with the magazine was to make effective training and nutritional information accessible to everyone. A shift in mindset came in 2018. Iron Man Magazine felt that the world was wanting truth. They wanted to provide motivation, information, training programs, nutrition advice, and supplementation protocols that readers could follow, knowing that if they put in the work, they could achieve the physique on the cover. In November of 2018 Iron Man Magazine was purchased by the president of the largest Olympic-Level Tested Bodybuilding organization, Denny Kakos. With the new ownership came a new direction for the magazine. Every athlete now featured in the magazine will be Olympic-Level Tested. The programs that you read in an athlete's interview are the exact ones used by that athlete to achieve their physique without any hidden consumption of substances. Thousands of tested athletes will be featured with attainable physiques achieved by hard work and dedication so that much of the population can be inspired to sculpt their own bodies and feel confident that "everything" needed to accomplish it will be shown. Iron Man Magazine will also feature many outstanding, tested athletes will be featured with genetically-gifted physiques that will appease those wanting to see what pushing the genetic markers looks like.
