^^ Great shot, and it does not even need photoshop. But, MD especially, made his waist as small as a physique competitor, and it looks absolutely fake.
MD actually used this same shot on two different covers years apart. Perhaps I'm biased and also old fashioned, but that's a huge no-no IMO in publishing.

I agree. I don't know why MD especially photoshop images. Even Jay Cutler is using the photoshopped (waist) images for his social media. See below:

Franco Santoriello 90's

Franco Santoriello


Franco Santoriello was widely recognized as one of the most accomplished bodybuilders of his day. What was first a carefree trial with marijuana and alcohol when the person was a teenager eventually developed into a full-fledged dependency on drugs. Because of the terrible choices he made throughout his life, he eventually found himself without a place to live, without a job, and serving a jail term of three years.

Fuck photoshopping. I can say with a straight face that I have never done that with MuscleSport Mag. I actually like the off-season look on some of these guys, such as this shot of Bostin Loyd in 2015.
