Take-Two's Zelnick flexes for Men's Fitness

by James Ransom-Wiley { Oct 21st 2008 at 4:15PM }

On the surface, he has it all. A rad name. The chair of a powerful video game publisher. A chiseled bod cut from the blood, sweat and tears of a grueling 5-day workout week. (Dude has meetings while exercising -- confirmed!) But what harrowing skeletons are dangling in Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick's closet? ...

We're pretty certain that's not the focus of the next issue of Men's Fitness (on newsstands November 20th), but we will be treated to such compelling insights as: "When someone asks me to have a drink, I suggest the gym instead." Plus: 896 tummy tightening, calorie counting, GET LAID NOW tips!

Sounds just like the miserable, self loathing, scared of death, kind of person I would cross the street to get away from.

Sounds like someone is a bit jealous.

I never really understood mens fitness. Why would I, a man, be interested in looking at a magazine that is filled with a bunch of greased up topless dudes.

I would rather have a mag with hot chicks in it that said "put down the fucking cheeseburger and do some sit ups and maybe just maybe these kind of girls will give you the time of day"

Welcome to 3 hearts country my friend.

Population: You.

Automag @ Oct 21st 2008 6:26PM

If you ever looked at a Men's Fitness magazine, there are barely clothed hot girls telling you to put down the cheeseburger. Fact.

Wow, that Big Daddy is actually on the cover. I figured it was your own photoshop.

Johner Smithy @ Oct 21st 2008 6:37PM

Hell yeah, there's a Big Daddy on the cover.
Rarrrrr.

when someone asks me to go to the gym, i suggest the bar instead.

Ross Miller @ Oct 21st 2008 4:51PM

Yeah, the PULL-UP bar. Ohhhh, burn(ing calories)!!!

Dirty @ Oct 21st 2008 5:51PM

They just opened up a bar near my house called "The Gym". I plan on going there to do some 12 ounce curls after work.

896 tips? Just how big is it?

Superstar90 @ Oct 21st 2008 5:21PM

I would assume that tips 1-896 are "Work out and eat healthy!".
They just repeat it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. It, along with pictures of sexy men makes up the entire issue.

dbs @ Oct 21st 2008 5:20PM

Is that a drill in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

j.howlett @ Oct 21st 2008 5:36PM

yes

Pete @ Oct 21st 2008 7:01PM

it's actually out now, i just saw it at a 7 eleven here in philly.

and men's health is so much cooler than men's fitness

markhill66 @ Oct 21st 2008 9:11PM

Man, he is sexy.

Deozaan @ Oct 21st 2008 10:59PM

I call "photoshopped" on that image.

ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ Oct 22nd 2008 2:05AM

You'd think that there'd be a subject about WiiFit in there instead.

JoeTheBlow @ Oct 22nd 2008 4:08AM

That has to be the first Mens Fitness issue where there ISN'T a topless greased guy on the cover.

I wonder how long they spent trying to convince ol Strauss to whip off the t-shirt.
