Jacked up. That about sums up Melvin Anthony’s appearance on the December 2009 cover of FLEX. Inside the issue, on page 155, you can see exactly why he looks that way as Anthony and Chris Cormier put themselves through hell trying to one-up each other during a grueling leg workout.

Jump from two IFBB veterans to a couple of up-and-comers: NPC bodybuilders Lee Banks and Steve Kuclo. Both men are looking to score their pro cards at the Nationals, but they’re not the only ones. Check out our full Nationals preview on page 168 to get the inside scoop on the competition.

Pressed for time? Let FLEX Senior Science Editor Jim Stoppani, PhD sprint you through some rigorous 15-min routines that will help you gain muscle, burn fat and stay on track in this month’s superfeature on page 138.

Then it’s time to soak in some Jennifer Apodaca pics. Rest those weary eyes with a super-sexy layout featuring this smokin’ hot IFBB Pro League bikini athlete.

But we’re not done. There’s also a full menu of online content for your reading (and viewing!) pleasure:
