MILO: A Journal For Serious Strength Athletes is a quarterly journal dedicated to strength sports, published by IronMind. The magazine is named after Milo of Croton.
MILO has been published continually since April 1993, and 71 issues have been published to date. Randall J. Strossen is the publisher and editor-in-chief. The journal covers topics such as Olympic-style weightlifting, strongman, Highland Games, powerlifting, general weight training, and fitness, arm wrestling, grip strength, stones and stonelifting, and similar subjects. Each issue of MILO is organized into five sections: Departments, People, Training, Contests and History, with the most coverage devoted to training.
MILO is the only U.S. iron game publication to receive accreditation to cover weightlifting at the last four Olympic Games; 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008. MILO also covers top strength contests like the European and World Weightlifting Championships (since 1993); World's Strongest Man; IHGF Heavy Events World Championships (the World Highland Games Championships); the Arnold Classic Arm Wrestling Challenge; GNC Grip Gauntlet; and the like.
Regular authors in MILO have included John McCallum (republished), John Brookfield, Steve Justa, Ken Leistner, Jim Schmitz, Bill Starr, and Pavel Tsatsouline. Several world-class competitors such as Jim McGoldrick and Francis Brebner have contributed articles on Highland Games heavy events. Several of these contributors are mentioned by Ned Beaumont in Savage Science of Streetfighting as writers whose work is "especially valuable."[1]
