Ron Harris Named Online Editor of Muscular Development

 

Muscular Development is pleased to announce that Ron Harris has been named Online Editor of musculardevelopment.com, starting February 1.

Ron has written for Muscular Development magazine since 2001 and is currently MD’s Senior Writer. He began his lifelong obsession with bodybuilding at age 14 when he started weight training, and he entered his first bodybuilding competition at age of 19 in 1989. Ron would compete for 24 years in all, placing top five at the national level twice.

In early 1991, Ron moved from his native Boston to Los Angeles and began working as an Associate Producer for American Sports Network, helping to write and produce the long-running ESPN show “American Muscle Magazine”as well as live event and TV production for the company’s Musclemania and Fitness America Pageant competitions.

After that, Ron worked as a successful personal trainer in Pasadena, California as he transitioned into a new career as a full-time fitness writer. Ron would go on to become the most prolific writer in the history of bodybuilding and fitness magazines, publishing over 5,000 articles since 1992.

As Online Editor of MD, Ron will oversee bodybuilding’s No. 1 bodybuilding multimedia destination. After writing for MD for 16 years, Ron believes it’s time to expand into the multiple platforms afforded by modern digital and Internet technology that have evolved since then.

“I’d like to thank Steve Blechman for this opportunity to become the Online Editor for MD,” said Ron. “The bottom line is that I am deeply passionate about bodybuilding, and now I will have the chance to share and express that passion in entirely different formats. We have the best team of writers, commentators, and tech experts available, and I’m excited at the possibilities ahead as we continue to make MD online the only place you need to visit to stay connected to the pulse of the sport, the athletes and coaches, and the industry. It’s a challenge I am ready to tackle head on, and my goal is to make our site the absolute and undisputed top source for information, coverage and entertainment. Are you ready to step it up to the next level? I hope so, because me and the team at MD certainly are!”

Muscular Development Editor-in-Chief Steve Blechman commented, “I have the utmost respect for Ron Harris. He has proven over the years why he is one of the best bodybuilding journalists of all time. I have complete confidence that Ron will make great contributions to the MD website. Ron is passionate about bodybuilding and has the unique and incredible ability to crank out tons of great content, in a very short period of time! Ron is also a true fan of hardcore bodybuilding. Being a fan means he never loses sight of those whom the MD brand is dedicated to serve. With Ron’s energy, incredible work ethic, years of experience and commitment to bodybuilding, I look forward to working with him and rest of the great MD staff to promote bodybuilding better than ever, and provide a lot more and better content than ever before! I promise!”
