*Muscular Development* focused on [bodybuilding](/source/Bodybuilding) and nutrition science. Among its contributors were Anssi H. Manninen (former Senior Science Editor), [Michael Colgan](/source/Michael_Colgan_(nutritionist)), John Romano (former Senior Editor), [Dan Duchaine](/source/Dan_Duchaine), and [Mike Mentzer](/source/Mike_Mentzer).

After the sale of the magazine to Blechman it changed to a more "hard-core" bodybuilding magazine and focused less on fitness.[3]
