Did you see the update to the update?

"Zinczenko has been recycling covers since 2004. The magazine only has about four cover archetypes, which usually share the same copy ("Get Back in Shape" is always paired with "30 Red-Hot Sex Secrets," for instance)..."
It only cements the longstanding credo that one only ever needs to purchase 6 issues of Men's Health, and then you'll know just about everything the magazine will ever offer.
