The new workplace
MENS CLOTHING HAS BEEN SET FREE IN PART BY THE SPEED OF TODAYS WORKPLACE.
Jacket: BOSS Jean jacket: LEVIS Shirt: SHIPLEY & HALMOS Tie: J.CREW Watch: CITIZEN Pants: HUDSON JEANS Belt: JOHN VARVATOS Boots: ALDO
VE BEEN A BOSS for a lot of years. Ive hired hundreds of people, fired more than a couple, and navigated my companies through some of the most treacherous economic times this country has ever seen. And things have changed a lot since I landed my first corner office. When I first started running media companies, the idea of a fourth television network was still being scoffed at, and the fastest way to get a document from one place to another was by bike messenger. (For those of you under 30: Thats basically the way pizza gets to you today.) But of all the changes Ive witnessed over the years, none is more striking than the one I see when I enter my office every morning. Twenty-five years ago, Id walk onto the floor of a building and know immediately who everyone was: The guy in the suit and tie crunched numbers, and the guy in the more expensive suit and tie crunched the heads of the number crunchers. Worker bees wore jeans and khakis, and the more ambitious among them dressed a little sharper, like they were trying to pull themselves up by their suspenders. (Yes, we wore suspenders, and not ironically!) Today my office looks completely different. Art directors still tend to wear a lot of black, but beyond that, the guy in the skinny jeans and wool jacket could be a Web programmer or a visiting CFO. Clothes no longer define our status; in fact, the workplace has become a sort of sartorial Wild West. Choosing to wear a suit and tie, or a polo and khakis, or jeans and work boots is entirely a matter of taste, not status. Thats why weve taken an extra hard look at style in this issue. We no longer enjoy the luxury of wearing our skill sets on our sleevesor keeping our inadequacies hidden beneath them. Mens clothing has been set free in part by the speed of todays workplace, and the flattening out of the knowledge curve created by the Internet. No matter what field youre in, its harder and harder to masquerade your way through. It used to take years to learn the secrets of a trade and to build the contacts that made success in that profession possible. Now you can Google both in your underwear. As a result, the people who reach the top today simply have to work harder, and be better, than anyone whos ever come before them. Consider this months cover subject, No. 1-ranked tennis star Novak Djokovic. He may well be the fittest man whos ever stepped onto the court. His diet is gluten-free, dairy-free, nearly sugar-free. He trains three times a day, 365 days a year. He reads motivational books, meditates, and practices yoga. From the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to sleep, hes focused only on improving at tennis. Thats what it takes to be the best. Welcome to the new workplace, my friends. Its not for the faint of heart.

PLAY MORE, DIET LESS
Cutting fat may have more to do with staying active than restricting your calories, according to a review in Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport. Engaging in vigorous high-impact activity, such as running or playing an intense game of flag football, researchers found, causes mechanical stimulation of stem cells, resulting in their development into lean tissue rather than fat. That is, because the body recognizes the need for more muscle and bone to support your strenuous activity level, it converts these fledgling tissues into exactly that. Bottom line: To get leaner, emphasize exercise over cutting calories.

Lighter weights may be just as good for growing muscles as heavy weights, according to a study in the International Journal of Clinical Medicine. For six weeks, research subjects performed three 10-rep sets of the bench press using 75% of their
one-rep max (1RM). Then, for another six weeks, they did four sets to failure using just 30%. The result? Subjects gained similar muscle with the heavy and light loads, indicating that size gains may depend more on taking sets to failure than on jacking up the weight.

Eating grapes could lower your risk of heart failure caused by chronic high blood pressure (hypertension), says a University of Michigan study. Hypertensive rats fed a diet heavy in antioxidant-rich grapes for 18 weeks showed reduced heart-muscle enlargement and thickening, as well as improved blood-pumping, likely due to an increase in glutathione, a cellular antioxidant essential to heart health.
YOU REALLY CANT EAT JUST ONE
Its your brain, not your taste buds, that keeps you chomping on chips, according to data presented to the American Chemical Society. When researchers fed rats standard animal feed, a mixture of fat and carbs, or potato chips, they found that the chips lit up brain areas controlling reward and addiction. Why is this good news? If scientists can pinpoint the molecular triggers in snacks that stimulate the brains reward center, it may be possible to develop drugs or nutrients that help block this attraction to snacks and sweets, says the papers author, Tobias Hoch, Ph.D. either whole walnuts, walnut skins, defatted nut meat, or walnut oil.

The trick to getting ahead at work isnt sucking up to your bossits believing in the organization, says a Brigham Young University study. After surveying employees at companies with mission-based cultures, researchers found that those who were true believers were the most likely to get ahead, regardless of formal company position or overall performance.

HANGOVER HELPER: ICED COFFEE CAN ALSO PROTECT YOUR LIVER.
We already know moderate coffee consumption can have a positive effect on heart health, cognitive function, and longevity. Now theres evidence it can also fight off liver disease. According to research presented at the 2013 Digestive Disease Week medical conference, regular coffee consumption or even as little as a few cups a monthcan diminish the risk of primary sclerosing cholangitis, or PSCan autoimmune disease that can lead to cirrhosis of the liver.
BEHIND ON SLEEP?
Yet another important reason to get enough rest: According to new research, people who have difficulty sleeping are twice as likely to develop prostate cancer than sound sleepers. The fiveyear study, reported in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, found more than a threefold increase in risk for advanced prostate cancer associated with very severe sleep problems. Sleep may be a potential [means of] intervention to reduce the risk of prostate cancer, says Lara G. Sigurdardttir, M.D., of the University of Iceland. Copenhagen study, playing soccer for an hour twice a week lowered blood pressure, improved heart function, and reduced the need for medication in men with type-2 diabetes. After three months of training, the heart had become 10 years younger, says Jakob Friis Schmidt, a study co-author.

A University of Michigan study compared the mouths of an admitted methamphetamine user, a longtime crack cocaine user, and an excessive soda drinker (two liters a day for three to five years); subjects also had poor oral hygiene. The same type and severity of tooth erosion was found in all participants mouths, due to the consumption of highly acidic substancesi.e., the corrosive ingredients used to make meth and crack, or the citric acid contained in soda.

FINALLY, SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN

Its not just hearsay anymore: Slather on sunscreen every day, and youll look younger as you age. In a new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, 900 people age 55 and under were divided into two categories: those asked to apply sunscreen (SPF 15+) daily, and those allowed to apply it at their own discretion (read: not very often). After the groups were tracked for 4 years, the findings were clear: The everyday sunscreen wearers showed significantly less skin aging than the sometime appliers. Get a good SPF moisturizer (we like 30+) and apply it every morning.
ITS ALL FOR THE BETTER

Dont give yourself a hard time for putting some time and money into looking your best. A new survey by JWT marketing found that 54% of U.S. and U.K. men use skin-care products, 33% undergo hair removal, 29% get manicures, 13% have their eyebrows waxed, and 11% apply bronzer. Oh, and 26% say they dont do anything (but were pretty sure weve seen them in the fake-tanner aisle).

Recent research shows that a lack of sleep can make a man mistakenly overconfident about a womans interest in having sex with him. The study, published in the journal Sleep, shows that the frontal lobe impairment associated with sleep deprivation could get you a slap in the face. Our findings here are similar to those from studies about alcohol, which similarly inhibits the frontal lobe, said study co-author Jennifer Peszka, Ph.D.
TYLENOL VS. TORMENT
When doom and gloom surround you, remember to take a slow, deep breath and maybe a painkiller or two. According to research published in the journal Psychological Science, acetaminophen, the common overthe-counter pain medication, might

stave off feelings of depression or existential dread. Pain can come in many forms, from physical suffering to mental anguish. Regardless of the kind of pain, taking Tylenol seems to inhibit the brain signal that says somethings wrong, says University of British Columbia researcher Daniel Randles.

HANDMIND COORDINATION
Your lost keys might be just a fist-clench away. Researchers at Montclair State University have found that clenching your right hand may help you form a stronger memory of an event while its taking place, while clenching your left hand could help you
recall it later. The findings, published in the journal PLoS One, suggest that some simple body movements by temporarily changing the way the brain functions can improve memory, says lead study author Ruth Propper, Ph.D. Have memories youd rather forget? Youre on your own.
FACELOOK
Your Facebook profile might be good for a self-image boost. A recent study published in Media Psychology by Catalina Toma of UWMadison showed that after just five minutes of viewing their own profile, Facebook users showed a significant boost in self-esteem. However, this boost
might decrease motivation to perform well in a follow-up task, such as a written test: Participants incentive to do well was lost. So if you need it, a quick gander at your own Facebook profile could help you feel more secure. Just dont blame Zuckerberg when your report isnt done in the morning.

SET UP FOR SUCCESS

Fast-track your tness goals with this super-efficient technique
You dont have to train for long to pick up the lingo: Three sets of 10, Back and bis, and Its all you, bro! are terms that get thrown around in every weight room, and theyre easy to interpret. But theres one concept that tends to confuse lifters. Were talking about supersets, bro.
SETTING THE SCENE

A superset is two exercises, alternated, with little or no rest in between. The exercises in a superset can both target the same muscle group, or they can work opposing muscles, and possibly even totally unrelated areasfor example, if you superset rows and squats.
SUPER TIME-SAVER
Supersets make your workout more timeefficient. Lets say you pair up bench presses and seated cable rows, done for three supersets of five reps each and resting only 60 seconds between all sets; youd need about seven minutes to complete all your sets, and in that time you wouldve thoroughly worked your upper body. Compare that with training chest and back separately with conventional straight sets, using 90-second rest periods. This would take you some 10 minutes. A three-minute time save may not sound like much, but the more you replace straight sets with supersets, the faster youll go.

This means your chest feels fresher and stronger when you work it again after a set of rows. If fat loss is your main priority, perform supersets with short rests (60 seconds or fewer). A 2010 study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that this approach burns more calories than straight sets do during workouts and for several hours afterward.

LIFT YOUR SPIRITS

Q
Youre drinking it wrong. That is, if you order your martinis like James Bondshaken, not stirred. Spirituous cocktails that contain no juice get stirred, and cocktails that contain juice get shaken hard with plenty of ice, says Brendan F. Casey, head mixologist at Applewood in Brooklyn, NY. The reason generations of men continue to order 007s signature cocktailand probably why you tried your first White Russianis that iconic libations represent a specific type of lifestyle (just as shotgunning a beer represents another kind of lifestyle). To help you find your own signature drink, we posted up at two of the best mixology bars in the country, specifically those known for incorporating natural, even health-boosting ingredients. The recipes we got and the advice we were able to remember are game changers. Still think your vodka soda is better? Well thats just, like, your opinion, man.

Chris Marshall is the head mixologist at Apotheke in New York City. His best advice: The biggest mistake I see is not only making cocktails too sweet but also relying on standard ingredients. Expand your cocktail repertoire with a trip down the produce aisle. Dont keep your kitchen and bar separate. They can be combined to create some fantastic drinks.

Apothekes Chris Marshall stocks your bar with ve essential tools that will really tie the room together
The first thing every guy should have in his home bartending kit is a shaker/strainer set. I recommend both a Hawthorne strainer (with springs) and a julep strainer (without springs) so you can strain both stirred and shaken cocktails. Next would be a jigger. It allows you to measure your ingredients very precisely, which is crucial. Get the oneand two-ounce types. I also recommend a muddler. This is used to smash and grind things like orange peel and cucumber, and allows you to extract more flavor. Other items that are great to have would be a bar spoon and oversize ice cubes. They keep the cocktail colder with less watering down. You can find all these tools at cocktail kingdom.com.

2) In a large mixing bowl, add melted coconut oil, soy sauce, dried oregano, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, and almonds. Mix to coat evenly.
3) Divide coated almonds among sheet trays. Place in oven and roast for approximately 12 minutes, stirring and swapping racks after 6 minutes. 4) Remove from oven and season with remaining paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt. Toss to coat.

Houston, TX, is Americas best city for ambitious men
The U.S. job market is far from perfect. Hell, in some cities, theres even a waiting list to wait tables. But while some parts of the country are suffering, in others, opportunities are booming. To discover just where these career meccas lie, we scoured the plains in search of Americas biggest employment hot spot. Our researchers analyzed bankruptcy rates, job growth, income data, debt stats, cost of living, and more to pinpoint the exact spot where youre most likely to make your fortune. And what did we find?
More money, less problems. Even opportunities are bigger in Texas. Houston ranked first in Forbes 2012 list of Cities Where a Paycheck Stretches the Furthest.

With American job growth stunted and unemployment holding steady, its refreshing to find a city thats recovered 230% of its jobs since the recession (through March 2013), not to mention an economy that grew 8.6% in 2011 and is continuing in an upward direction each year. Yes, Houstonfrom its businessfriendly, low-restriction economy to its abundance of energy jobstruly is the ideal place to plant the seeds for your money tree. Even careers in education, information, and finance are on the rise in the area, compared with the national average. So, chances are, whatever you want to do, you can probably do it in Houston. And you could make more money doing it: The average income for males 25 years old and over with a bachelors degree is around $62,000about 10% more than the national average. Opportunity is knocking. And for those down on the list, were not hating on you. Were just wondering what you can do for us.

Last night was amazing. I wonder what the schools are like here.
ONE-NIGHT STANDOFF
The gentlemans guide to pulling off the perfect one-night stand By Siski Green
DO NOT...
. . . Repeat that youre not looking for a relationship. Once is plenty. She was listening the rst time.
This was supposed to be a one-night stand, you think to yourself as a vaguely familiar woman picks food off your plate at brunch. Clearly, in trying to score last night, you failed to make your intentions known, and now ol Whatserface is clinking Bellinis with your friends. Dont make the same mistake again. Knowing exactly what youre getting into lays the foundation for phenomenal casual sex, says sex therapist and author Ian Kerner, Ph.D. Youll both be more relaxed, spontaneous, less inhibited. Hell, pretend the apocalypse is coming tomorrow. Epic, strings-free casual sexthe kind worth telling your friends about at brunch the next morningis just seven steps away.
CHECK IN
The best one-night stands feel exciting because theyre one-offs, Kerner says. Hotel rooms clearly say one night only, and allow you both to leave whenever. The clean sheets and towels come in handy, too.
MAKE IT GOOD
The better the sex, the better shell feel about the fling. One-night stands feel particularly cheap when she gets nothing out of it, Kerner says. If she enjoys the sex, shes less likely to feel taken advantage of.
. . . Make polite chatter. Its a sexual dampener. Try complimenting her hair, skin, and breasts. Thats convo enough.
FLATTER HER OR GO TO YOUR PLACE

A study found that women seek onenighters because they enjoy feeling wanted. So dont be shy. Tell her, This was fantastic. Ill remember tonight forever. It reinforces that its a one-off and makes her feel special. Bonus.
AIM HIGHER
If youre anything like the men polled in a recent University of Texas study, you rate sleepy or stupidlooking women as easier. Pass on the low-hanging fruit. A confident and alert woman will enjoy flings more because she knows what shes doing, Kerner says. Women regret flings most when they feel they were duped.
44 MENS FITNESS
BE UPFRONT
As flirting heats up, look her in the eyes and say, Lets get naked, have unbelievably good sex, then never see each other again, Kerner says. It sounds risky, but a University of Kansas study found that women who are interested in casual sex are more responsive to an upfront approach than stilted attempts at romance.
SEPTEMBER 2013
PLAN AHEAD
Mention an appointment you have the next morning. Breakfast with your mom, a root canal, a tux fittingany excuse to gently usher her out of your home at your preferred time. Forgot to preplan? Theres always Fake Call. This app will make your phone ring whenever you want. It could be your boss, or your momyou decide!
You may think her place is the best option. Not so. Seeing her personal items makes the experience more intimate, Kerner says. In your house, you can control what she sees.
. . . Expect her to nd her own way home alone. In the morning, call her a cab with a reputable firm so shes safe.
. . . Let her leave anything behind. No phone number, no nothing.

F r o m t o p : Tr u n k A r c h i v e ; S t o c k b y t e
. . . Make breakfast. No OJ and croissants, no uffy towels, no spare toothbrush. You are not a hotel.

Prolonged overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones accelerates the wear and tear on your body at the cellular level, says Kirstin Aschbacher, Ph.D. Chronic stress can weaken your immune system, add more fat to your midsection, and even accelerate aging. The first step is identifying chronic stressorshere are the four big ones, and how to dismantle them.

Secret Stress No. 4 Your Stuff

Clutterin your bedroom or anywhere elsecan make it difficult to relax in your own environment. If you grew up with the reinforced belief that your room should be clean, something at the subconscious level activates a stress response if
you go against that belief, says Michael Olpin, Ph.D., director of the Stress Relief Center at Weber State University. DE-STRESS: Either clean up the place, or replace your original belief that it should be clean. We create many of our own mental stressors, Olpin says, but most of them we can overcome by changing our perceptions of them.

Adidas design guru talks athletic fashion trends for 2014
FAST FORWARD
Q
What do Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant, and David Beckham all have in common? Well, superior ball handling, for one. But theyre also part of a select group of A-list athletes whove been lucky enough to have a signature shoe designed by this man. The global head of performance design for Adidas, James Carnes is behind some of the most stylish and technically advanced athletic footwear and apparel of the past decade. And hes not done yet.
SPEAKING OF TECHNICAL DETAILS, THE PROPER PRONUNCIATION IS AHDI-DUSS, AFTER FOUNDER ADOLF ADI DASSLER.
HOW DO YOU BEGIN TO DESIGN A SHOE FOR AN ATHLETE LIKE DERRICK ROSE OR DAVID BECKHAM? We find
out what the athlete wants to express about himselflike, is he going through a comeback, or has he won so many awards, as Lionel Messi has, that he wants to be low-key, yet different from everyone else? That personal conversation is pretty amazing.
think people used to pigeonhole themselves, or try to have a certain style. Guys today have a clearer sense of how to style themselves, and its cool to do that. Its not considered something only women doits something everybody does.
Spring into action. Its the most high-tech propulsion system there is, Carnes says of the new Springblade.
WHERE DO YOU SEE ATHLETIC STYLE GOING IN 2014? Were seeing

sports products invading the fashion world more and more. The two arent separable, the way they used to be; you see guys wearing suits and sneakers, and if you do it right you can pull it off. I
think thatll continue to grow in 2014.
WHAT OTHER NEW TRENDS DO YOU SEE COMING?

More bright colors and then I think its going to shift. I think there are going to be more complementary muted colors that go with that, and the
WHERE DO YOUR IDEAS COME FROM? Theres

always something you can adapt from another point of view. Like, having a designer who works on running all the time sit down with a designer who works on basketballI love that idea.
coolest thing is going to be making the neon go with those other colors. Were going to see more of that military green color, a little bit of a deeper cargo, and khaki not the traditional khaki-chino color, I dont think, but something a little bit darker.
IS THERE A BRAND THAT SHOULD BE ON OUR RADAR?

Theres one called Outlier that I think is fantastic. They bring something useful in a way thats incredibly cool. Theyre all about providing the functionality you want in an urban setting, but without sacrificing any sense of style. The pieces are really timeless, but they still have an edge to them.
moment. Its actually a prototype pair we developed to see how simple we could make it and how much we could amplify the feeling of the boost. So its a concept we created, and Ive been wearing them around.
HOW DO YOU STAY MOTIVATED? I just

love what sports does for people. People will tell you they started running five years agotheyd never run before thatand their first shoes were Adidas Supernovas. Then they say they ran their first marathon this year. They somehow give you credit, like you actually did something to change their life. Thats the point where I pull out my sketchbook and start drawing.

THE RIGHT SCRUFF

Style your stubble after the men who did it best
Mankinds love affair with facial hair has been going on ever since some wise caveman took spear to face and shaved away his scruff, creating the worlds first Fu Manchu. Today, face fuzz (or lack thereof) is one of the defining characteristics of who you are as a guy. It also has a huge impact on how others see you. Big, bushy beard? Women think youre dad material, according to a new study in the journal Evolution & Human Behavior. Thick stubble? Youre more of a ladies man. Whatever your look of choice, here are eight guys who did it right. Flip the page to find out how you can, too.
FULL BEARD
Al Pacino nailed the full beard in Serpico, making the look seem effortless. Its not. (See: Joaquin Phoenix, circa 2010.)
MUSTACHE
In its day, the stache landed Paul Newman and Burt Reynolds leading rolesthough today it might land you a seat with Chris Hansen.

STUBBLE CLEAN-SHAVEN
Steve McQueen and Paul Newman proved that you can look like a lawyer and behave like an outlaw. Sure, Jack Nicholson may have just forgotten to shave, but Robert Redford rocked this look on the regular. And while many have tried, few men have looked as good doing it since.

Lose the hipster beard
THE BEST FRIEND A MAN CAN HAVE MIGHT JUST BE A HIGH-QUALITY TRIMMER.
Whether youre clipping your gorilla pelt into a more manageable hair sweater, crafting just the right thickness of stubble on your cheeks, or doing essential maintenance below the belt, every guy needs a trusty electric trimmer. And if youre going to invest in one, it might as well be adjustable, like this Wet/ Dry Beard and Hair Trimmer from Panasonic. Its fast, versatile, and allows you to create intermediate levels of scruffthe length most women find the sexiest, according to studies. Its the only machine Ive found thats close to a professional detailer, says Israel Leon, a master barber with The Art of Shaving. Weve tried it, and were believers.
Yes, we know your beard totally made that last Instagram shot. But trust usno amount of filtering can keep that look alive forever. Here, The Art of Shavings Israel Leon explains the right way to banish those bristles.
SHOWER FIRST
Youll get the closest cut if you shave in the shower with a fog-free mirror, says Leon. The steam and water open your pores and make the hairs in your beard nice and soft.
APPLY A DAMP TOWEL

If you cant shower, soak a washcloth in hot water and apply to your shave area for 30 seconds. This will warm up your facial hair so pre-shave oils work better when you rub them in.
TAME THE BEAST
When youre ready to shave, start with a trimmer and work your way down from a longer length to a shorter one. The leftover stubble is more manageable for your razor, says Leon.
USE A SHAVING BRUSH

Its less messy than using your hands, and youll use less shaving cream since you can use the brush to work up the lather.
PANASONIC WET/DRY BEARD AND HAIR TRIMMER Switch to this allin-one rechargeable gizmo and you can easily trim from head to toe, and everything in between. $65, panasonic.com
PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS

Once youve crafted the ideal beard, scruff, or mustache, help maintain its shape by trimming the edges every few days. Retrim as needed, and sharpen the edges and places that are harder to reach with small scissors.

WATCH THE THRONE: THE CADILLAC ATS WAS CROWNED THE 2013 NORTH AMERICAN CAR OF THE YEAR.
Trying to decide between a Benz and a BMW? Try again. The original luxury vehicle is back, and with something to prove.
AMERICAN ROYALTY
Q
THE ROYAL PROCESSION

202-HP 2.5L FROM $33,990

272-HP 2.0L TURBO FROM $35,795

321-HP 3.6L V6 FROM $42,090

Over the past decade, Cadillac has been plotting a coup. Ever since the manufacturer debuted the second generation of its wildly successful Escalade in 2001, GMs upscale marque has been looking for a way to get drivers to say auf wiedersehen to the reigning monarchs of the luxury sedan kingdom. And they may have just found it. The Cadillac ATS has all the qualities of royalty, starting with its regal interior. On the tech front, noise-cancellation technology renders engine sound inaudible by neutralizing it with opposing frequencies. The cars CUE system is surprisingly intuitive, and innovative features like a motion sensor that allows the touch-screen display to hide buttons when your hand isnt nearby set a new standard for the category. To make a play for the crown, of course, you have to be ready to defend it. Under the hood, 321 steeds jump as soon as you toe the gas, and unleashing the full wrath of the 3.6-liter V6 engine will staple your back to the lush upholstery until you reluctantly come to a stop. Its one of those rides that dares you to go faster, and we guarantee youll rise to the occasion. The responsive steering and grippy handling will have you blasting around cornersand other driversat high speed, and as youre passing them, youll realize that this is a vehicle designed to overtake, in more ways than one.

10 MOST BIZARRE FITNESS COMPETITIONS

The road to victory is paved with cheese, toilet seats, andwell, tar By Ben Radding
1 TRACTOR AND FIELD

The Olympics jumped the shark when they started getting all regulated and safe. Thats why each year we jet off to Punjab, India, for the Rural Olympics. Formally known as the Kila Raipur Sports Festival, the competition includes carrying a bike in your teeth, balancing atop galloping horses, and, our favorite, being run over by a tractor.
3 WEE MEN
Ah, Australian Dwarf Tossing: the gentlemans sport. This ones pretty much what it says on the label. A dwarf wears a helmet, is strapped into a harness, and then waits patiently for whatever the Australian version of a drunken redneck is to throw him as far as he can. The outrageous practice is thankfully outlawed in some parts of the United States, and in Canada the sports growth was stunted (no pun intended) by the apparently necessary Dwarf Tossing Ban Act of 2003.
4 IRON, MAN
In the spirit of combining sports with inherently nonsporty activities (see: tea break in cricket), the Extreme Ironing World Championships is one of Englands less-publicized attempts to merge one thing men love with one thing we hate. According to the official website, Extreme ironing is an adrenaline sport that combines the thrill of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt. Skydiving and scuba are two ways these men blow off steam.
5 BLAZING BARRELS
For the past 400 years, the English town of Ottery St. Mary has spent the months leading up to Guy Fawkes Night each year picking out the perfect barrels for the men in town to soak in tar, light on fire, and carry around. Everyone wins unless, of course, you drop the barrel. Then everyone loses.
7 CARRY ON, DEAR

With major competitions established all over the world, wife carryingin which competitors run an outdoor obstacle course over rocks and water with their spouse hanging on for dear life celebrates the birth of the backseat athlete. Dropping wives doesnt seem to be a problem; then again, this isnt the motherin-law carry.
9 LEFT ROOK
With large followings in Berlin and London, chess boxing is just as it sounds: Play chess for four minutes, box for three, and repeat for 11 rounds. Cant win on the board? Pummel your opponent in the ring until he cant remember how a knight moves.
10 HURLIN HUBCAPS
The Mudpit Belly Flop, Bobbin for Pig Feet, and Redneck Horseshoeswith toilet seatsare but a few of the events at the annual Summer Redneck Games. Held in East Dublin, GA, and more fun than indoor plumbing, according to the website, all of Dixie comes out to soak in the butt cracks, Budweiser, and banjo lines.
6 PUMP THE BRAKES

You dont have to run a marathon in Manolos to tone your calves, but its good to know the option is there if you need it. With huge events springing up all over the country, like the Amazing High Heel Race in San Diego, high-heel racing is the vogue way to shred your lower legs.
2 THE BIG CHEESE

At the Coopers Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake, held near Gloucester, England, a wheel of cheese is rolled down a giant hill as competitors race after it. First one across the line wins the cheese. Were not sure why theres cheese involved at all.
8 EXTREME STEAM
If you cant take the heat, get out of the saunaunless youre a champion! Hailing fromwhere else? Finland, the World Sauna Championships ended in 2010 when one finalist was hospitalized and another suffered a serious case of death.
WHO HASNT WANTED TO PUNCH SOMEONE IN THE FACE WHILE PLAYING CHESS? OR IRON A SHIRT WHILE FREEFALLING FROM 10,000 FEET?

Play it cool. You dont have to spend a lot to score an impressive first date.
Highlighting your appearance

Everything you choose to put on reflects the image you want to portray, and can influence the direction your conversation goes. If you show up in a suit and tie, youre inevitably going to open up questions about your job. If youd rather talk about a recent trip you took, you might want to wear something more casual. Your clothes selection is an opportunity to show the real you, and, if possible, strike a difference between what she might've expected and what shell get. Heres what we mean. Lets say your date knows youre an accountant. Her expectation might be a predictable combination of slacks and a button-down. Theres nothing wrong with this, but if you show up in jeans and a leather jacket, shell be more intrigued. You havent misled her; youre just showing a different side of yourselfthe relaxed, unpretentious, comfortable sideand shes going to appreciate that. Its no different than if you work construction but pick her up wearing a blazer and a tie. Women like dichotomy because it shows depth of character, and it makes you more mysterious. Shell be wondering how else you might surprise her. More important than what you wear, however, is that your clothes fit well. If you have a good body, wear something that shows you work out, but nothing so tight you look like a stripper. If youre a little softer and still working on shedding a few pounds, wear a button-down or maybe a blazer. Here are two cant-miss outfit combinations. Dark jeans, a solid-color V-neck tee (black, white, gray, or blue), and a blazer. Don't match the blazer to the shirt. If youre wearing a gray shirt, then go with a black or blue sports jacket. Match with oxfords (the safest choice), non-lace boots, or dressy sneakersnot gym sneakers. Dont underestimate what your shoes say about you.

HE LIKES YOU. OR AT LEAST SHE THINKS SHE COULD. Otherwise she wouldnt have agreed to the date. So dont be self-conscious about your face or bodyshe already said yes, and while she'll judge you by how you present yourself, rest assured that youve got the raw material shes looking for physically. Plus, youre probably too hard on yourself in that department as it is. According to research published in the journal Personal Relationships, we underestimate our attractiveness as perceived by others. Our memories, insecurities, and past relationships cloud our perception of ourselves. But more important, we dont realize the role that personality plays in the perception of how good we look. Listen, youve got her believing youre not a total chump, that you're worthy to spend an evening with. Your mission, then, is simply to not screw it up. And the way to do that (er, not do that) is to show the best sides of yourself without trying too hard. As two guys who never used to get past their first dates (and are now both happily married), we can tell you how to showcase without showboating and make a first date lead to a second and, hopefully, many more.

photos of peoples shoes accurately judged the wearers age, gender, and income based solely on the pictures. So think classy.
OPTION 2:
Well-fitting slacks, a button down and tie, and a leather jacket. Have one or two accessories that make what you wear pop and that can act as a conversation piece. This might be colorful socks or a pocket square (if you opt to wear a blazer). Dont wear outrageous clothing that guarantees youll stand out. This is what pickup artists call peacocking, and while its important to their game, you dont need to arrest her attention when youre already out on a date with her.
MUCH LIKE A JOB INTERVIEW, YOU DONT WANT TO GO IN AND REPEAT WHATS APPARENT ON YOUR RSUM. YOU WANT TO SHOW PEOPLE WHAT THEY CANT SEE ON THE SURFACE.
at the menu and ask her what shes in the mood for and what looks good to her. Then, when the waiter comes for the order, ask for her decision, and relay that to him. If youre worried, look at her after you order and say, Sound good? If she looks outraged, just roll with it and make it a joke. Say, Next time, you get to order for me. Or, turn to the waiter and say, You know what? Take her order and Ill have the same. I can tell she found a hidden gem. Both responses give you an out.
dont want to go in and repeat whats apparent on your rsum. You want to show people what they cant see on the surface.
Finessing the close

If you want a second date, dont kiss on the first date. If you feel like shes expecting it near the end of the evening, tell her straight out that you dont do that. We know it sounds crazy and very unmanly, but hang backwith one exception. Unless youre 100% certain that youre going to have sex in the near future, hold off. When you dont kiss, it builds mystery, and its a throwback to a different time. Women want men who open doors, respect them, and think they have to earn the right to intimacy with a lady. By not kissing her but explaining why, you achieve two important goals, apart from showing respect. One is that you take pressure off her. Do you know what happens when a date ends without a kiss when one is expected? Your date returns home and wonders why you didnt kiss her. Even if she didnt want it, the perceived rejection creates stress and can make her feel worse about herself and hurt your chances of seeing her again. By letting her know beforehand that you dont kiss on the first date, that worry is removed for her. Second, and just as important, it gives you the power. If you dont want to kiss her, or do but cant think of a segue in which to do it, you dont have to stress about it, either. And if you do want a kiss, you create anticipation that will make it even better when you finally do make your move.
WA R N I N G :
Choosing the venue

Just as with clothing, where you take a girl says a lot about who you arebut dont rack your brains planning an evening. It doesnt matter if you go for a walk in a park, take part in some activity, hit a bar, or grab some dinner. But lets discuss price. If you take a woman someplace really expensive on a first date, shell either see it as a desperate move to impress her or expect the same treatment over the long term. However, spending a lot of money also gives her the impression that you can take care of her, which is a good thing, if thats what youre aiming to do. You see, men are simple: We tend to rate attractiveness more heavily when we first meet someone. But womens responses vary, according to researchers at Ball State University. They need to see certain personality attributes before feeling full attraction. So safety and long-term security are two factors that play a strong role in building a relationship, say the scientists. But if youre just testing the waters with this girl, setting the bar so high is neither wise nor necessary. In general, never go cheap, but dont pick a place thats beyond your means. While being economical may be best for you, being original is best for her. Every first date has been done. So its not what you do but where you do it or how you execute it that makes it effective. If you decide to go to a bar, dont pick a place everyone knows about. Find a cool spot thats off the beaten path. Going to a dive bar where youre friendly with the staff is a better move than waiting on a long line outside the place with the velvet rope. Plus, going somewhere youre known makes you look like a savvy insider and proves that you actually put some thought into the date. That means more to her than you know. Bonus tip: If you go to dinner and want to be bold and make a somewhat riskyyet calculatedgamble, order for your date. Look
Building intrigue
One of the reasons weve had success on first dates (i.e., been able to parlay them into long-term, happy relationships) is that were always prepared to talk. First-date conversations are all about getting to know the other person. You need a plan of attack that allows you to get information and give your own without being boring. It should go without saying that you shouldn't lie when you talk about yourself. Theres no need to fabricate, stretch the truth, or tell lies of omissionwhere you dont actually lie, but purposely leave out important details that mislead the poor girl. That said, youre entitled to give answers that portray you in the best way possible. To do this, you need to provide information and answers that will strategically allow you to determine the follow-up questions. Think of 10 common dating questions. This can be anything from where you grew up to your job, favorite hobbies, or family. Now pick the most interesting details from those topics and know the answers to her questions before she asks. For instance, when we were dating and women asked us what we did, wed say Im a writer. This was purposely vague, and writing isnt all we do. Were also entrepreneurs, trainers, and marketers. But its writer, we found, that opened up the best line of questioning. The natural followup question, of course, was What do you write? From there, we knew that we could discuss our books, articles in Mens Fitness, or whatever other cool stuff we'd published that the girl might've heard of or seen. If we told people that were in the fitness industry, that would play into preconceived notions they have about us based on appearance. Much like a job interview, you
Getting the second date

Send a pithy text five minutes after leaving her. Or end the night with a joke that opens the door for another encounter. Saying something like, I have a busy day tomorrowI have to wash my hair and get a pedicure, and Maurice hates it when I cancel my appointment. But I have nothing on Saturday, so hows Friday night to do this again? Humor always makes the delivery easier, as long as its imperative. There must be no, Do you kinda, sorta, want to meet again if youre not busy? Confident people are busy but make time for people theyre interested in. Act like shes already going on a second date with you. Be assertive and show that you know what you want. And if she has any level of interest, decisiveness on your part will make the difference.

UN-MOBILE HOMES
Maybe a headhunter is looking at your LinkedIn profile at this very moment, about to help you land the dream job that will take your career to the next level. But if the gig they offer is in San Francisco and youre saddled with a condo in Atlanta thats worth substantially less than you paid for it, youve got an expensive decision ahead of you. In fact, economists say that the lack of housing mobility is part of the reason unemployment has been so stubbornly high. Some guys find they literally cannot afford to take a job in a new location, because if they sold their house theyd owe the bank money. Its something we haven't seen much of since the Great Depression, Russell Price, senior economist at Ameriprise Financial Services, told Reuters. In 2011, only 11.6% of the population made a significant movea record low, according to the Census Bureau. Last year that number ticked up slightly. When you buy a place, youre paying for the right to sink nails in the walls and replace those hideous purple tiles in the bathroomin short, to set down roots. But that cuts both ways. When you invest in a community, you may close the door, ever so slightly, on opportunities awaiting you in the rest of the world. Imagine if Mark Zuckerberg had been tied to a loft in Beantown and couldnt just up and ditch it for Silicon Valley. Facebook might still be a novelty thing Harvard kids use to get dates, and the rest of us would be stuck with Google+. I know a woman who left a good job and a rental apartment to move to New York so she could be near her boyfriend. When she got here, she met me, dumped the boyfriend, and now shes my wife. Child No. 3 is on the way. Serendipity can be a good thing. Give it room to run.

KNOW A COMPUTER GUY WHO'S AS GOOD WITH A LATHE AS he is with code. Over a five-year period he spent most of his weekends converting a crumbling colonial into a thing of beauty. He got rid of everything that wasnt nailed down, then he ripped out everything that waswalls, stairs, toilets. With the help of his equally handy dad, who lived down the block, he turned it into the kind of house that cries out for a black lab on the porch, kids in the yard, and a smiling, beautiful wife leaning against the door frame as you bound up the steps. Just one problem: When he met the woman who'd become that smiling, beautiful wife, she agreed to say I do on one condition: that they wouldnt live in the same town as his parents. And besides, that house hed labored over was a long commute to her job. Soon, real estate agents were walking prospects across the floorboards he'd laid. After five years of investing in his dream house, he sold the place at a loss. Sometimes, location, location, location doesnt work in your favor. Thats a good lesson for any young guy thinking about jumping into the real estate market. Yes, now is a good time to buy a house or apartmenton paper. But life happens in 3-D, not on a yellow pad.

Your American dream. Get comfortableyou'll need to stay put for at least five years to make your money back.
Just don't go too crazy. Following impulses is great, except when it comes to mortgages. You should never think about investing in a home unless you expect to stay put for at least five years. Any less than that and the costs associated with buying a placeclosing costs, interest, that new couchwill outweigh any potential savings. Not to mention prices could pull back again, especially if mortgage rates rise.
CALCULATING RISK
But theres another side to the real estate decision: the math side. Unlike my renovating friend, the numbers are now in your favor. Thanks to the bursting of the bubble and the Federal Reserves push to lower interest rates, you can purchase a depressed asset with other peoples money at less than 4.5%. Thats a pretty sweet deal. The crash, in fact, turned the rent-or-buy equation upside down. In many cities, its now cheaper to buy than to rent. In Chicago, for example, Deutsche Bank analysts

determined that, back in 2006, renting was about 40% cheaper than owning. Then, when the buying stopped and more people started renting, landlords naturally jacked up prices, even as the cost of purchasing apartments fell. By 2012, it was nearly 50% more expensive to rent than buy. You can check the rent:buy ratio on the website trulia.com. With mortgages at 4.5%, the research firm estimates that its 43% cheaper to buy than rent in Miami, 17% cheaper in New York, and 9% cheaper in San Francisco. The basic formula is this: Divide the cost of a property by the annual (12 months) rent. If the number is more than 15, renting is the better deal. Less than 15, call a realtor. Once again, however, its important to impose a little reality on that theory. Calculators like Trulias assume youd rent the same-size place youd buy. In fact, the odds are youd rent a smaller place. Buying is a long-term decision, so naturally you spend a little extra so that youve got room to grow. Nothing inherently wrong with that choice, but it means a little more of your

savings goes toward shelter, leaving you that much less cash.
HOME BANKING
My dad always told me that buying is a better deal than renting because real estate is an investment. Renting, he says, is throwing money out the window. Hes right, but for the wrong reason. In case the epic housing crash we just lived through didnt make it clear, real estate is never going to be a surefire moneymaker. Yale economist Robert J. Shiller has estimated that during the 100 years leading up to 1990before the boomhome prices in the U.S. rose only 0.2% a year, on average, after inflation. By contrast, the stock market has consistently returned 57% after inflation,
depending on whose investment numbers you ultimately use. Its always dangerous to extrapolate from past performance to predict the future, but this one isnt a fair fight. If you were to rent (a smaller place) for the rest of your life, and plowed every cent you saved into a low-cost index fund that tracks the total stock market, statistics show youd always end up richer than if you invested in a house. But do you have the discipline to do that? Most people dont. Instead, spending increases right along with discretionary income, so you buy nicer clothes and better cars, you join a fancier gym and eat at finer restaurants. After 30 or 40 years you have the same amount of savings, but instead of owning your home outright, youre still paying rent. In the end, its not about economics, but discipline. The single-best reason to buy a house is that its a forced savings account. As USC Professor Richard Green puts it, You get to live in your piggy bank. The American dream is alive and well. Just dont rush it.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC WAS A TALENTED, BUT INCONSISTENT, TENNIS WANNABE.

Though he made it into the top 10 in ATP rankings, he was more famous for his collapses in big tournaments than he was for actually winning any. Plagued by what other players saw as a lack of fitness, and worse, a lack of toughness, Djokovic repeatedly withdrew from matches when the going got tough. Then, in 2011, everything changed. The Serbian tennis player put together what some sportswriters have called the greatest single season in the history of tennis, winning three grand slams and, at one point, 43 consecutive matches against the best players in the game. In July of that year, he won Wimbledon and became the No. 1-ranked player in the worlda status hes held ever since. Here, in an exclusive adaptation from his forthcoming book, Serve to Win, Djokovic explains how changing his diet took him from second tier to No. 1, and lays out a simple nutrition plan for Mens Fitness readers to follow.
T H I S I S A T E S T T H AT W I L L help us see if your body is sensitive to certain foods, Dr. Cetojevic told me. We were not in a hospital or lab or doctors office. He was not drawing blood. There were no scanning devices or big, scary pieces of medical equipment. It was July 2010, at a tournament in Croatia, and Igor Cetojevic, M.D., a holistic practitioner from my native Serbia, was explaining to me that he thought he knew why Id fallen apart so many times in the past, and how I could change my diet, my body, and my life for the better. Then he had me do something very strange. He had me place my left hand on my belly, and put my right arm straight out to the side. I want you to resist the pressure, he said as he pushed down on my right arm. After a moment, he stopped. This is what your body should feel like, he said. Then, he gave me a slice of bread. Should I eat it? No, he said, and laughed. Hold it against your stomach, and put your right arm out again. Once more, he pushed down on my arm, explaining to me that this crude test would tell me whether or not I was sensitive to gluten, the protein in wheat, barley, rye, and other common bread grains. This seemed like madness. And yet, there was a noticeable difference. With the bread against my stomach, my arm struggled to resist Dr. Cetojevics downward pressure. I was noticeably weaker. This is a sign that your body is rejecting the wheat in the bread, he said. I had never heard the term gluten intolerant, but I had just taken the first steps in learning how big a role food had played in my life, how much my wheat-based diet had been holding me backand how much was in my power to change. (By the way: This test, I later learned, is called kinesiological arm testing. I have found that this makes for an excellent party trick; get someone in the room to assume the same stanceright arm out, left hand on bellyand test their strength. Then have them hold a cell phone against their stomach, and test again. The radiation from the cell phone causes the body to react negatively, and weakens the arms resistance, just as

a food youre intolerant to will. It is an eyeopening revelationand will make you think twice about carrying your cell phone in your pants pocket going forward.) Dr. Cetojevic then explained to me that there were other, more scientific and more accurate ways of testing my sensitivities to certain foods. The best and most accurate is the ELISA test, which stands for enzymelinked immunosorbent assay. Its a common blood test thats used for everything from drug testing to diagnosing malaria and HIV to testing for food allergies. The ELISA test can teach us very specific things about our bodies sensitivities to food. The most common sensitivities are to gluten, dairy, eggs, pork, soy, and nuts. Some of us have unusual sensitivities, or unexpected combinations of them; for example, my trainer, Miljan Amanovic, tested sensitive to pineapple and egg white. But once you know what youre sensitive to, you can make dramatic changes almost effortlessly. (By eliminating just these two foods, Miljan lost 10 pounds in only a few weeks.) When my blood test returned, the results were shocking: I was strongly intolerant to wheat and dairy, and had a mild sensitivity to tomatoes as well. If you want your body to respond the way youd like it to, you will need to stop eating bread, Cetojevic said. Stop eating cheese. Cut down on tomatoes. But Doctor, I replied. My parents own a pizza parlor!

As the days rolled along, I began to feel different. I felt lighter, more energetic.
I H AV E L E A R N E D A G R E AT D E A L about nutrition and the human body over the last three years, but my quest for information has been going on much longer than that. All of my life, I have been seeking knowledge, not just about tennis, but about the workings of the body and the mind. Perhaps, in part, thats because knowledge was for so long withheld from me. I was born on May 22, 1987, in a country that no longer exists: the communist country of Yugoslavia. When you have lived under communism for generations, as my family has, you learn to accept that there is only one way of doing things. The government and the society in which you live tell you that there is one way to dress, one way to exercise, one way to think. And, of course, one way to eat. Growing up in Serbiathe name my country returned to after the breakup of Yugoslavia we ate in a very traditional way. Serbian foods are heavy foods: a lot of dairy, a lot of meat,

His philosophy: Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own. So youre not a fan of kung fu movies. You just want a workout or class to go to in order to kick your sorry ass into shape. But which one? The answer Bruce would give is, all of themand none.

CIRCUIT TRAINING
Back-to-back exercises burn fat and save time
OCircuit training is a series of weighted, body-weight, or aerobic exercises grouped together with little or no rest in between. Though an age-old concept in fitness, its never been hotter than it is now. Go to any gym and youll see trainers taking clients through circuits; exercise classes are also based around them. When it comes to resistance training for fat loss, circuits are tough to beat, says Dan Trink, director of training operations at Peak Performance, one of New York Citys most high-end gyms. Circuit-training programs use a wide variety of exercises, ensuring that you work all movement patterns. And the short rest intervals are a great way of driving up metabolic demand. The research seems to support circuit training, too, at least from an efficiency standpoint. A study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research compared performing exercises in circuit fashion (resting 35 seconds between sets) with a more passive approach (three minutes rest between sets). The circuit workouts took less time but still offered similar improvements in strength and power.

Strongman
Lifting odd objects builds real-world strength and endurance
OWhy would you want to work out like those behemoths you see on the Worlds Strongest Man on ESPN? Strongman training is the most functional type of training there is, says Hans Pirman, owner of Global Strongman Gym in New York City. Youre using your whole body as one unit, to be as efficient as possiblethe endurance and strength you gain are tremendous. Strongman is the sport of lifting, pulling, and carrying oversize objectsfrom stones and logs to cars and planes. You can practice it for fitness in a dedicated strongman gym like Pirmans or modify it for a more conventional health club. You can pick up a pair of heavy dumbbells and walk across the gym and backfast, Pirman says. Called the farmers walk, this exercise builds grip and core strength while sending your heart rate soaring.
T H E P R O S : Strongman builds muscle as well as conditioning. It closes up your weak points, too, says Pirman. If youve been bench pressing then switch to pressing a log overhead, the strength you gain will make the bench press feel easy when you go back to it. T H E C O N S : Unsurprisingly, strongman exercises pose a risk for injury and may not be appropriate for people who are already banged up. At the same time, remember that the total-body strength youll build can also help prevent injuries down the line.
You dont have to join a strongman club, says Smith. Incorporating more full-body exercises and moves like the farmers walk into your existing routine will build functional strength.

HIIT
Go hard, then easy to burn fat
O If you own a TV, youve seen the infomercials for the P90X DVD series. Designed by Hollywood trainer Tony Horton, P90X (which stands for Power 90 Extreme) promises to get you ripped in 90 days, working out at home with a blend of weight training, martial arts, and calisthenics.
THE PROS:
a metabolic boost, and improved endurance are all great benefits. Circuits can also use a variety of exercises and implements, so theyre easy to progress, Smith says.
THE CONS:
You really need to focus on form as fatigue sets in, says Smith. So choosing easier, less-complicated exercises generally makes for better circuits. Trink adds that circuits, while time-saving, arent ideal for strength gains. If youre looking to increase your deadlift, circuit training is not the answer, he says. Maximum strength is gained with longer rest periods and lots of practice, and therefore doesnt pair well with the pace of a circuit.
P90X HAS GENERATED MORE THAN A HALFBILLION DOLLARS IN SALES SINCE 2003.
The variety of exercises over the course of P90Xs 12 individual workouts is enough to beat boredom and keep your body guessing, as advertised.
THE CONS:
The exercise volume is too high for most, and there are too many sessions per week, says Smith. Though the legion of successful after photos P90X can point to is undeniable, Smith suspects those people are the exceptions and not the rule.
T H E T A K E A W A Y : If you cant afford a gym membership, you wont be alone. P90X has generated more than a half-billion dollars in sales since its launch in 2003.
OHigh-intensity interval training (HIIT) alternates bursts of near allout effort with slower-paced recovery periods. It can be performed on almost any piece of cardio equipment (exercise bike, elliptical, treadmill, etc.) as well as on a track, in the pool, or with a jump rope. HIIT became a popular method of cardio among mainstream gym goers little more than a decade ago, as its often marketed as a way to burn fat and build endurance in short, timeefficient training sessions. A study published in Metabolism Clinical and Experimental showed that just two weeks of HIIT-type training delivered measurable improvements in a number of metabolic and vascular risk factors in overweight and obese sedentary men.

THE PROS:
MUD RUNS
Fitness can be an adventure
The team atmosphere is undeniable and the cardio training extreme. I also like that the training requires multi-skill proficiency and real-world movements, says Smith.
If you dont want to make it the core of your workout, you can always use circuit training as accessory work after youve finished with the main strength exercise of your session. For instance, start off with bench presses and then set up a circuit of upper back, chest, and triceps exercises done for higher reps to exhaust the muscles that support a strong bench. A circuit can also be used as a finisher at the end of a workout to maximize the fat-burning effect of your routine.

OMud runs are outdoor races, often military themed, through mud and other rough terrain that tends to feature obstacles as well. Theyre popping up in most major cities, and participants number in the hundreds. The length of the run and the obstacles within it can vary greatly, so do your research before signing up for one (the 1012-mile Tough Mudder and 126-mile Spartan Races are two popular incarnations). Most save the worst for last: a belly-crawl through a pit of sludge to cross the finish line.
THE CONS:
Apart from the risk of permanently ruining your sneakers, mud runs are often performed by weekend warriors who jump right into training without adequately preparing, says Smith. So the potential for injury is high. Youll need to work up to them with several weeks of running and calisthenics beforehand.
Being able to use a variety of equipment helps prevent boredom and can ward off overuse injuries that are common among people who only jog on the treadmill, cycle, and so on. The workouts are typically fast and intense enough to cause a fat-burning spike in the metabolism.
THE CONS:
T H E T A K E A W A Y : Exercise doesnt have to be limited to the gym. You can get in killer shape outdoors, acting like a kid againbut be honest with yourself about your condition.
Any high-intensity exercise can negatively impact the joints, says Smith. Those with orthopedic concerns should be careful, especially if sprinting is the chosen exercise.
T H E T A K E A W A Y : HIIT can be used as a quick finisher on strengthtraining days or as a stand-alone workout to burn fat on other days.

Incinerate fat in four minutes at
YOGA
Mind, body, and spirit train together
OJapanese researcher Izumi Tabata examined two groups of speed skatersone using moderate-intensity intervals to improve conditioning and the other using high-intensity intervals. He found that not only did the latter improve in both aerobic and anaerobic fitness to a greater degree, they were able to do it in workouts lasting a mere four minutes. The Tabata protocol, as its become known, has you perform any cardiovascular exercise as hard as possible for 20 seconds, rest 10 seconds, then repeat for eight total rounds (four minutes). A kind of HIIT, Tabata accelerates the metabolic rate, so its also become known for its potential to burn fat as well as improve conditioning.
T H E P R O S : Tabata intervals are fast and simple to do, and can be performed with one or more exercises. THE CONS:
O Remember when yoga was just a fad? If you havent participated in some form of the ancient Indian spiritual practice yet, youre an outlier. Classes focus on adopting various postures, such as warrior and pigeon, to improve flexibility and strength while relieving stress. Yoga comes in many styles, including hatha (the most prolific form of yoga), vinyasa (flow yoga, where poses run together fluidly, almost like a dance), and bikram (hot yoga, where students practice in a room heated to 105 and higher with a humidity of 40%).
Yoga focuses on breathing, posture, and spirituality, paying attention to how peace of mind can impact exercise and feelings of well-being. Yoga is bestknown for its irrefutable effects on flexibility, and everyone can benefit from more of that, says Smith.

ZUMBA
Burning calories can feel like a night in a club
THE CONS:
All movement requires mobility and stability, and yoga can promote end-range flexibility without developing the needed stability, says Smith. So theres a risk of yoga making your muscles more flexible without the necessary control.
OA mixture of choreography and world rhythms, including meringue, salsa, and reggaeton, Zumba offers total-body group training workouts that strive to feel more like danceoffs than exercise. There are eight different types of Zumba classes practiced in more than 150 countries.
THE PROS:
Learning to control your breath and strengthen your posture will also pay dividends in managing anxiety and improving your health in myriad other ways.
Some folks just wont exercise if they cant see it as being immediately fun, says Smith. Zumba cleverly accomplishes that with its Latin dance styles. Choreography also helps improve fluidity of movement, and the high-energy atmosphere of Zumba classes is certainly impressive. Plus, Zumba classes are packed with women in sports bras shaking their asses. If you dont wind up landing a date in one, at least youll enjoy the view.
THE CONS:
If your workout lasts only four minutes, youd better make every second count.
I dont like that its not progressive, says Smith. Regardless of how the dance moves may change from class to class, the stress on your muscles doesnt.
I wouldnt plan an exercise program around Tabata training, says Smith, but I would keep the protocol in mind for times when the clock is your enemy.
Zumba can be a fun way to get cardio, meet women, and sharpen your dance skills. But you still need strength training to add muscle and raise your metabolism.

SOULCYCLE
Cycling and lifting combine for total tness
Only a decade ago, CrossFit was another exercise fad. Today, its practiced in more than 6,000 CrossFit-certified gymsor, as the members call them, boxes. Mixing various training methods such as Olympic weightlifting, plyometrics, gymnastics, sprints, and aerobics, CrossFit WODs (for Workout of the Day) are done in a group and aim to forge elite fitness while providing fast-paced, fun, and challenging workouts. The secret sauce, says Jim McDade, owner of CrossFit 212 in New York City, lies in a set of exercises that force a very high hormonal response in the bodynatural human growth hormone, or HGH. Unlike the synthetic HGH that bodybuilders and certain baseball players have been caught usingwhich can have serious side effectsnatural HGH is a very healthy and powerful fat burner. With CrossFit, the average guy will become a 10to 15-year-younger version of himself, says McDade. Rather than looking big, puffy, and chesty, hell come away athletic and ripped, and hell have a base in a variety of training styles hed otherwise never learn. And the science is on CrossFits side. A recent study conducted at Ohio State University shows that CrossFit-based programs can slash body fat and improve maximal aerobic fitness in just 10 weeks.
THE CONS:
CrossFit workouts often call for high reps, particularly on Olympic weightlifting moves that are very technical. The more reps you perform, the more likely your form is to break down, resulting in injury, says Smith. Experienced lifters can avoid this, but the average guy is less likely to stay safe. CrossFit workouts also tend to be random over the course of a week, so you might train the same muscles intensely in sessions that are too close together to allow full recovery. Be sure to find a CrossFit facility with a qualified coach, and modify workouts as needed.
T H E T A K E A W A Y : A sound exercise program should incorporate a variety of movements to create balanced gains, says Smith. CrossFit will teach body control and improve relative strength. Just be careful to make the workouts your own and stay healthy. You cant do everything at once.
SPINNING CAN PROMOTE POOR POSTURE, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY SIT ALL DAY.
OWhat do you get when you cross indoor cycling with a dance club? You get SoulCycle, a cardio party on a bike thats taking the group fitness scene by storm. According to co-founder Julie Rice, SoulCycle turns cycling into a full-body workout, thanks to the addition of light-dumbbell and band exercises for the upper body that are performed to techno-pop music while you pedal away on the bike. Riders end up with strong, tight abs, says Rice, while burning 500700 calories per workout.
THE PROS:
Training with others provides a good support network and sense of community.
THE CONS:
Spinning can promote poor posture, especially for those who already sit all day or have weak upper backs and tight hips.
SoulCycle is fun, and even if the group dynamic isnt for you, cycling or spinning can still work as part of a warmup.

The 12 most-effective muscle builders on the planet
1 WHEY. Whey protein is one of the

two proteins found in dairy products, the other being casein. Whey makes up 20% of the protein found in milk, but its the superior protein for muscle building because its absorbed quickly and causes a large and fast spike in blood amino-acid levels, which is exactly what you want when your body is looking to repair and build muscle fibers after exercise. Whey protein is rich in both glutaminethe most abundant amino acid in muscleand branched-chain amino acids, which can fuel working muscles during exercise. One of the best dietary sources of whey protein: ricotta cheese.
Rocky chugged raw eggs to get fit. Arnold ate pounds and pounds of beef and chicken to build his iconic physique. And the kitchens of modern bodybuilders look like meth labs, with stacks of protein powder kegs on every surface. But you dont need to resort to raw-egg smoothies, or eat your way through a small farm, or get all your protein needs from a plastic jug. There are dozens of delicious dietary sources of this essential musclebuilding, fat-burning macronutrient. And researchers are now looking at how eating more protein can actually help your body lose unwanted fat by blocking food-craving signals from going off in your brain. To help you unleash the metabolic magic of protein, weve rounded up the best dietary sources, along with a few delicious, nutrition-packed recipes to get you on your way to a better body today.
Prime Time
The three most crucial times to eat your protein Before a Meal
The metabolic effects of protein can be immediate, especially when it comes to weight loss. One study published in Nutrition & Metabolism found that having 10 grams of whey protein twice daily before a meal boosted weight loss by 42% after 12 weeks. Consuming protein before a meal jump-starts the satiety sequence and may also cause an early release in hormones that support more efficient metabolism.
After Exercise
Pumping protein into your system right after you hit the gym is crucial for halting excessive muscle damage, jump-starting the recovery process, and flipping the metabolic musclebuilding switch. Moreover, in 2006 an Australian study published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology found that consuming carbohydrates along with your post-workout protein enhances muscle building and recovery.
Midafternoon Snack
Having a protein-rich midafternoon snack can help stabilize your blood sugar levels, boost muscle building, and also dampen your brains drive to make you snack on refined carbs and sugar-laden snacks later in the day. Protein intake initiates the production of hormones that interact with different areas of the brain to curb hunger and cravings by increasing satiety and preventing your need to reward yourself with bad food.
CASEIN. Casein makes up 80% of the protein found in milk. Its found in higher concentrations in cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Caseins unique effects arise from how its absorbed and digested. Unlike whey, casein is absorbed slowly, increasing but not spiking blood amino-acid levels. Caseins anti-catabolic properties result from these sustained increases in blood amino-acid levels, which is ideal for optimizing the balance between muscle breakdown and muscle building. Research shows that casein eaten late at night can improve muscle building and recovery from exercise while you sleep.
3 PEA. This popular plant-based

protein is easily digested and contains high levels of essential muscle-building compounds such as glutamine and branched-chain amino acids. One cup of peas contains nine grams of protein. Unlike many other plant protein sources, pea protein doesnt contain anti-nutrient compounds that can inhibit the uptake of vitamins and minerals during digestion. Pea protein is also available in supplement form, and, while a common complaint of plant-based protein powders is related to their grassy and earthy taste and texture, pea protein powder is mild in both taste and texture.
Down the tubes

Esophagus Food is chewed and swallowed. The esophagus contracts to move food down toward the stomach.

How your body turns food into muscle

Small Intestine Additional enzymes break down semi-digested food into even smaller chains of amino acids. The inner lining of the intestine absorbs the chains and converts them into single amino acids.
Muscles Amino acids are distributed among the muscles, repairing and building damaged and new tissue.
4 CHICKEN. Chicken is the go-to

muscle-building protein. Its a lean source of all necessary amino acids and can be prepared in myriad ways. A six-ounce chicken breast yields 54 grams of protein and four grams of leucine, the amount needed to max out protein synthesis in a given meal. Chicken breasts and thighs have similar protein contents but different flavor profiles due to differences in their fat contents. Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs to minimize the time needed to cook and prepare this essential protein source.
Food containing protein

Stomach Pepsin, an enzyme, breaks down protein into chains of amino acids. Blood Once absorbed through the wall of the small intestine, amino acids enter the bloodstream.

BISON. Bison is a beef alternative thats catching on more and more. Bison is markedly leaner than beef with a 3.5-ounce serving containing only 23 grams of fat compared with 89 grams in a comparable cut of beef. This also translates into bison containing 33% fewer calories than beef, making it a perfect protein source when youre in the latter stages of getting lean and calories are at a premium. A study published this year found more favorable changes in cardiovascular disease risk factors when study participants ate 12 ounces of bison per day versus 12 ounces of beef.

Building Blocks
6 SOY. Soy protein is one of the

few plant-based proteins that contains all the essential amino acids. Some research studies have found soy protein to be equally as effective in building muscle as whey protein. However, soy protein contains around 15% less leucine, the primary driver of protein synthesis, than whey protein. Common sources of soy protein include tofu, edamame beans, and soy-protein supplements. Soy isoflavones, a class of plant-based compounds that can mimic estrogen, are removed from soy protein isolate supplements during the purification process. This makes them the soy protein source of choice for people looking to limit exposure to these phytoestrogens.
QUINOA. Quinoa is an ancient grain famous for its protein content. Unlike most grains, quinoa contains all nine essential amino acidsthe amino acids that your body cant make; theyre also key for muscle building. Quinoa contains three more grams of protein per cup than brown rice, and brown rice doesnt contain all the essential amino acids. That said, quinoa still contains only eight grams of protein per cup, so it shouldnt be considered a meals primary protein source.
9 SALMON. Salmon contains

slightly less protein per serving than chicken, turkey, or beef, but it makes up for this slight lack of protein by packing in the health-optimizing long-chain omega-3 fats EPA and DHA. Buying wild or farmed salmon doesnt change the protein content but it does influence the fat content: Farm-raised salmon contains more pro-inflammatory omega-6s and fewer anti-inflammatory omega-3s than wild salmon. The protein and fat combination found in salmon makes it ideal for pairing with fibrous vegetables such as broccoli or asparagus for a simple, high-protein, carb-controlled meal.
t its most basic level, protein is made up of a string of biochemical units called amino acids. The presence and abundance of different amino acids vary from food to food, which is why living on raw eggs and whey powder will hamper, not enhance, your muscle-building ability. Incorporating a variety of protein sources into your diet ensures that you get all the different amino acids you need. And thats a good thing, because for the best results you should be eating lots of proteinall the time. A common myth about protein is that your body can handle only so much in any given day. Wrong. In fact, more than doubling the recommended dietary allowance of protein so that you take in approximately one gram of protein per pound of body weight will improve not just your body composition and shrink your waistline but, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, it can also reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. Research shows that in order to optimize protein synthesis, or muscle building, you need to spread your daily protein consumption over 34 meals, not 12 big protein-rich meals or 67 small meals throughout the day.
find. Eggs are a cost-effective, versatile, and convenient source of protein. In addition to its protein content, eggs also contain vitamin D and cholesterol, which can help support muscle building. Traditionally people have discarded egg yolks out of fear that the cholesterol-laden yellows will increase your blood cholesterol levels, however we now know that the amount of cholesterol you eat has very little impact on your blood cholesterol levels.
11 BROWN RICE. Cooked brown

rice contains five grams of protein per cup, and compared with other similar plant protein sources, brown rice is the second highest in BCAAs after quinoa. Brown rice is missing the essential amino acid lysine. However, this is easily made up in other places in the diet and isnt a limiting factor in the gym. Brown rice protein powder is another popular plant-based protein supplement. A soon-to-be-published study from the University of Tampa found that a rice protein supplement yielded similar muscle-building benefits to whey when taken after weight training.
BEEF. Beef is an excellent source of total protein and key amino acids such as leucine. Beefs protein content is also complemented by other muscle-building nutrients such as creatine and zinc. Grass-fed beef is generally leaner, but that withstanding theres no difference in terms of protein quality. Grass-fed beef is also touted for having more omega-3 fats when compared with conventional beef. In addition to beef
10 EGG. Egg protein has long

been considered the gold standard of protein in research studies due to its high bioavailability. When eating eggs, its important to eat both the white and the yolk as almost half of the protein is found in the yolk. One whole egg contains 1.3 grams of BCAAs and 0.5 grams of leucine. Eggs also contain the highest level of leucine per gram of protein compared with any other whole food protein source youll
TURKEY. Turkeythe white meat, that isis the leanest animal protein source youll find. (Dark meat from turkey is fattier, but not by much, with a 3.5-ounce serving containing only 1.5 grams of fat more than white meat.) Turkey can be used interchangeably with chicken in many dishes when you need a change of pace. While turkey is known for making you sleepy due to its supposedly high levels of the amino acid tryptophan, turkey actually doesnt contain that much more tryptophan than chicken. Lowsodium, extra-lean turkey deli meat is an ideal choice if youre often on the move and require a high-quality, ready-to-eat protein source.

Grab your protein by the nuts
Getting enough protein when youre on a tight schedule can be difficult as most on-the-go situations arent appropriate for pulling out a plate of grilled chicken. In these instances, nuts are a convenient and portable source of protein that you can rely on. One serving of nuts can range from 150200 calories, but there are some subtle differences that make certain nuts better choices than others. Pistachios are your best bet to snack on; they have more protein than most other nuts, and at 49 nuts per ounce you get to eat upward of eight times more nuts than if you opted for Brazil nuts. Per ounce, pistachios are also one of the lowest-calorie nuts. See how the different kinds compare:

AUSTIN M., WOODSIDE, NY
More than likely your dog is a great workout partner. Researchers from Michigan State University found that among dog owners who took their pets for regular walks, 60% met federal criteria for regular moderate or vigorous exercise. (For some perspective, consider that 80% of adult Americans dont get the 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week that the government recommends.)

Wonderful. I see guys walking to the train every morning, and I cant imagine who would hire them. Theyre dressed like theyre about to do one of those mud runs that are all the rage these days. I dont understand it, but Im glad youre starting to dress like a gentleman. First, always hang your suit on a wooden hanger to help the shoulders maintain their shape, and dont wedge it in between other clothes youll want to keep it in a breathable protec-
tive bag. As for cleaning the thing, have the dry cleaners do it, but no more than once a season. Otherwise, ask them to just steam and press it. When youre wearing it, try not to load up the jacket pockets with your keys, wallet, and iPad or whatever. That stuff weighs the suit down and can actually warp the t. And, please, unbutton your suit jacket before you sit down, and pull your pants up at the thigh a little bit so you dont stretch the fabric.

HIGH-FAT HEALTH FOODS LIKE COCONUT BUTTER AND PEANUT BUTTER: WHATS THE BOTTOM LINE? SHOULD I EAT THEM OR NOT?
JOE R., LACONIA, NH
Golf is a great way to bond with the boss, so you need to accept the invitation. The most crucial aspect of the game is the swing. Watch the ball, wind up, and unwind the body in a smooth manner, Hinds says. Golf is mental, so play with control and dont try to crush the ball. If youre still unsure, take a private lesson before hitting the linksor at least hit the driving range with a buddy. And whatever you do, dont ever, ever scream out, Get in the hole!
Everyone needs to worry about salt intake. Because athletes tend to sweat a lot and lose salt, that doesnt give them the green light to consume more salt than everyone else. Keep that shaker in check. 2,300 milligrams per day remains the daily upper limit of what should be consumed, even for the big and burly among us. And beware of the salt in frozen foods and canned soups; its a perfect storm for high blood pressure.
You should eat them. Theyre tasty, high in potassium and ber, and the fats are mostly healthy. Some nut butters are even fortied with omega-3s. They can be high in calories, though, so keep an eye on portions. Eating them on healthier fare can counteract the calorie burden: Try them with celery or carrots, or on whole-wheat bread.

Summary of study procedures and ndings:
Everyones talking about human growth hormone (hGH). It seems theres been more news about hGH in the past six months than there has been in the past ten years. In fact, its been featured on CNN, The Today Show, Fox News, The Dr. Oz Show, and in Shape magazine and Muscle & Fitness. Part of it has to do with the increasing number of athletes injecting synthetic recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) because they believe it helps increase lean muscle mass, repair muscle damage, and improve performance. But the true hGH frenzy really got underway in September of 2012 when it was revealed that a natural compound was actually capable of increasing mean, serum (blood) growth hormone levels by 682%. The research was presented at the prestigious Obesity Societys 30th Annual Scientic Meeting by some of the most renowned experts in the world, and it quickly became headline news because it means that nally, after 30 years of research, theres a way for people to increase their growth hormone levels without injections. The compound that was the subject of the research presentation is now being sold under the trade name Growth . Factor-9 by well-known sports supplement company Novex Biotech
HGH Boosters?
New Growth Hormone Pill Ignites Controversy in Professional Sports. Is It Time to Take a Stand?
Methods: This cross-over, placebo-controlled, double-blind study involved healthy subjects [males and females; mean age=3214 years; body mass index=26.45.0 ranging from 19.1 to 36.8kg/m2] (Study ID Number: PBRC10043). Each subject reported to the Inpatient Unit on two occasions one week apart. After an overnight fast, subjects had an IV line placed and baseline blood samples were drawn at -30, -15, and 0 minutes. Subjects were then asked to swallow the capsules of Growth Factor-9 supplement or an identical-looking placebo. Blood was drawn at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes for assay. Results: After 120 minutes, mean GH levels had increased 682% from baseline (0.17 to 1.33ng/ml) and were signicantly higher than placebo (P=0.01). In addition, a signicantly higher mean AUC was observed after taking the supplement [20.4 (95% CI: 19.9-21.0ng/ml) vs. 19.7 (95% CI: 18.7-20.6ng/ml); P=0.04].
Whether or not you agree with Ms. Daines about the ethics, its clear that GF9 is being seen by many as a way to boost their hGH levels without the fear of being sanctioned for illegal rhGH use. In fact, a December 12, 2012 Congressional hearing regarding the NFL and hGH testing led to a discussion about this very thing. Dr. Larry Bowers, Chief Science Ofcer for the United States Anti-Doping Agency who testied at the hearing, explained that while The body produces many forms of growth hormone in the pituitary gland, synthetic rhGH injections involve only one form, called 22kD. hGH tests work by agging people who have abnormally high ratios of 22kD. Thats what makes Growth Factor-9 so different from banned synthetic rhGH injections. Rather than introducing a synthetic form of hGH into the body, Growth Factor-9 is a dietary supplement that raises human growth hormone levels by encouraging pituitary performance. This means there are no abnormally high levels of 22kD, because the increase in hGH comes from the bodys natural source the pituitary gland. No matter which side of the GF9/professional athletics controversy youre on, one thing is certain: Growth Factor-9 is selling like hot cakes. GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe, and Lucky Vitamin, GF9s exclusive distributors, are having trouble keeping the growth hormone booster in stock. Still, some skeptics are saying it sounds too good to be true. So, is there a catch? Actually, there are three. First, as with hGH injections, Growth Factor-9 is not a magic bullet but one part of a total program you still have to eat right and work out. Second, unlike injections of synthetic growth hormone, the Growth Factor-9 pill needs to be taken on an empty stomach. That means you either have to take it rst thing in the morning and then not eat anything for two hours, or take it at night, at least two hours after your last meal... before you go to bed.
And now Growth Factor-9, or GF9 as most people are calling it, is bringing new controversy into the world of competitive athletics. Because of the edge they give users, rhGH injections have been banned by virtually every professional sporting body in the word, and even some college sports programs have begun testing for it, like the University of Miami, which recently tested every single one of its baseball players for rhGH use. But because GF9 offers athletes a way to increase their hGH levels naturally, they can boost their levels without fear of that increase triggering a positive result on anti-doping tests. So the new controversy is over whether or not using a natural substance like Growth Factor-9 to raise hGH levels vs. synthetic rhGH injections is still cheating. To call Growth Factor-9 a cheat pill is ridiculous, argues Gina Daines, spokesperson for Novex Biotech. Think of it this way Before Gatorade became widely available, the electrolyte-rich drink was used to give Florida State athletes an advantage, especially on hot and humid days. Were they cheating? Or simply taking advantage of something the other team neglected to emphasize?
And last but not least, while Growth Factor-9 is far less expensive than prescription hGH injections, its still not cheap... Growth Factor-9 will cost you about $100 a month.
But is it worth it? Anything that may cut fat, build muscle, increase energy, and improve sex drive would seem to be a no-brainer. However, make no mistake about it, the established medical community (and, of course, they know everything) would say its benefits are largely anecdotal, with research thats preliminary. But theres no denying that something that has a chance of helping you get in the best shape of your life without getting caught is... at the very least... irresistible.

8-Pack Abs WorldMags.net

Q
You dont actually need abs that show. Most men in America will go through their entire lives without ever having seen their abs, except maybe briefly one summer when they were 12. In fact, even many professional athletes dont have abs their girlfriends can do laundry on. Few baseball pitchers, and no offensive linemen, see their abs when they suit up before a game. But if youre going to be fit, why not show it? For the average guy whos in shape, getting abs isnt that hard. Its like taking an A- and turning it into an A+. Challenging, but hardly impossible. Getting abs is a lot about diet, a little about exercise, and all about attitude. As a fitness model, trainer, and former natural bodybuilder, having defined abs has been part of my job description for the past decade, so Ive learned to eat, train, and program my mind accordingly to keep them sharp. Below are 10 tips Ive used that make the difference between regular and premium.
10 Steps to an
Pack
1 Set a deadline
Break your main goal (to get flat, ripped abs) into smaller goals, such as losing one pound per week or adding a round to the ab circuit described on page 124. Then set a deadline for each one. Losing a lot of weight to reveal your abs can seem like a big undertaking, but its much less daunting when you take the time to divide it into smaller, achievable checkpoints. Deadlines also make you accountable, giving you a schedule to keep and a bit of pressure to improve. Take it a step further and tell your friends. Making your deadlines public is a powerful motivator because it puts your reputation on the line, says Dan Ariely, a professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University
SEPTEMBER 2013
Theres a difference between in shape and ripped. If youre just looking to get in shape, you can skip this story. But if you want true bodybuilder denitionread on. By Vince Del Monte
and author of The New York Times best seller, Predictably Irrational. In fact, the more attention you draw to what youre doing, the less likely youll be to renege on it. Announce your intentions on Facebook or e-mail your buddies. That makes it harder for you to back down, and youll find that you have a support group full of people who want you to succeed.
3 Keep the protein coming

You need more muscle to increase your metabolism and burn off the fat that covers your six-pack. On the nutrition front, this means eating protein regularly. Because the body has no way to store protein, it needs a regular supply to keep your muscles well
stocked. Eating small but frequent meals has always kept me more muscular. The protocol thats worked best for 90% of my clients is to have five whole-food meals and one protein shake per day. If your diet calls for 200 grams of protein in a day (a good goal for a 200-pound man), I advise consuming five to six meals with 3050 grams of protein in each.
4 Stop cutting calories

The very act of eating less causes a stress response in the body that jacks up cortisol, a hormone that stimulates hunger and signals fat storage. A 2010 study published in Psychosomatic Medicine found that women who cut calories to lose weight experienced an increase in cortisol, even over another group who simply tracked their calories but didnt reduce them. So how do you lose fat? Of course calories have to be reduced, but its how you perceive the cut that matters. Focus on eating better without restricting your overall consumption. Dont starve! Also, some foods require more effort to digest than others. It burns more calories to digest protein than it does carbs.

Prevent food allergies

You could have low levels of body fat and still sport a bloated stomach. Thats because inflammation in your digestive tract, as the result of a food allergy, is making it swell. Wheat gluten, soy, and dairy are common allergens, and even if you havent noticed a problem with them, minor amounts could still be doing you harm. Avoid these foods most of the time and see an allergist for a food sensitivity test to know for sure. At the very least, cut these foods out for a few weeks and see how you feel. Typically, if youre sensitive to a food, youll notice less gas, bloating, and fatigue after a few days of being free of it.

7 Measure portion sizes
Im not going to tell you to turn your kitchen into the set of Breaking Bad, but a little measuring will keep you honest. Measure your proteins in ounces and your carbs in cups (most of your fat should come as part of your protein foods; add any other fats sparingly). You can use the palm of your hand to approximate three ounces of meat and your fist for a cup of rice or potatoes. The length of your thumb works well for measuring fats; its about the size of two tablespoons of oil or peanut butter. This makes keeping a record of your food intake much easier, and eyeballed estimates will be close enough until you get very lean. At that point, you may want to invest in a food scale to make more precise measurements. The sharper your abs get, the more important the difference between one cup of rice and one half cup becomes.
5 Protect your home

When youre at work or someone elses house, its not always possible to eat right. But when youre in your own crib, theres no excuse for not having total control. You cant fight temptation 24/7, so remove all the processed junk food from your refrigerator and cabinets. Your kitchen should be stocked with a wide range of meats, vegetables, fruits, and starches (rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.). When you cheat, make sure its food you have to go out to get, such as ice cream, and finish it that day. Dont store any leftovers. I dont trust you, and you shouldnt either.
Hulk Up. You wont like yourself when youre hungry.
WHEN TIME IS TIGHT, GET YOUR GREENS FROM A GLASS.
8 Get more magnesium

Im going to go out on a limb (not really) and bet that your list of supplements doesnt include magnesium. But it really should. Its essential for good sleep and heart, muscle, and brain functionall of which impact your abs and yet research shows most of us arent getting enough of it. An analysis in the journal Nutrition Reviews revealed that 4860% of Americans dont meet the recommended daily value for magnesium, which even then is only considered the absolute minimum (a great physique likely requires more). Add a magnesium supplement or a multivitamin to your diet and see how your results improve.
Start the day green

An often-neglected aspect of abs is getting enough green vegetables. They have essential nutrients that your body wants to make sure it gets, and if you dont provide the necessary nutrition, youre going to find yourself rooting around in the cookie jar looking for it. To ensure youre fully loaded, make a fresh juice crammed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants with a minimum of calories. That means vegetable juice (not fruit juice, which is packed with lots of sugar and not enough of the fiber that whole fruit provides). Green juice is like a salad in a glass (only tastier, I promise). This recipe is one of my favorites. Juice the ingredients and pour over 1/3-cup of water and half a cup of ice. 1 cup cucumber cup celery cup spinach tsp fennel seeds green apple Parsley and ginger, to taste
F o o d S t y l i n g b y K a r e n E v a n s /A p o s t r o p h e
In addition to providing valuable nutrition you may be unable to get from whole foods during the day, a green juice can also act as a detoxifier.

9 Eat protein for breakfast
A carb-laden breakfast with orange juice and toast spikes insulin, impairing your ability to burn fat for hours afterward. It also stimulates the release of serotonin, a hormone that makes you feel good but also sluggish. Thats why many physique athletes have switched over to eating breakfasts that are carb-free. Aside from the green juice, you should too. A study out of the University of Missouri last March found that a high-protein breakfast improves appetite control and reduces unhealthy snacking in the evening. I take it a step further and eat nuts along with a protein source like meat or eggs. Theres nothing magic about the meat-and-nut combination, but its a filling meal and wont cause a sharp rise in blood sugar, so your energy will be steady all day. When I competed in the 2011 WBFF World Championships as a fitness model and achieved my all-time leanest condition4% body fatheres how Id start my day: six ounces of ground beef and a handful of macadamia nuts on the side, or two extra-lean sausages and a few slices of coconut (green vegetables, of course, are fine at this time as well).

10 Do the tough ab exercises

Abs are postural muscles, designed to keep your spine safe when youre fatigued. That means that they dont grow as quickly and dramatically in response to exercise as many other muscles do, so short rest periods and a high volume of work are mandatory to make them grow. Try the circuit below in one of your weekly workouts. Perform each exercise for 60 seconds, completing as many reps as possible. Rest 15 seconds between exercises and then 60 seconds at the end.

One of the first things you learn when you start lifting weights is how important it is to use a full range of motion on exercises. Thats how you work the entire muscle and avoid developing imbalances that can reduce your flexibility and cause injuries later on. This remains sound advice, and if youre a relative beginner to resistance training, you should follow that rule. But if youve been lifting for a few years, it may be time to break it.
PARTIAL CREDIT
Next time you hit the gym, act like your rst girlfriend and dont go all the way. Instead, try using quarter reps to build strength and size. By Dan Trink, C.S.C.S.
DIRECTIONS
Perform each workout (Day I, II, and III) once per week, resting at least a day between each session. Exercises marked A and B are paired and alternated. So, youll do one set of A, rest, then one set of B, rest, and repeat until all sets are complete. Then go on to the next pair.
HOW IT WORKS Part of getting bigger means getting stronger, and after youve milked the quick gains every beginner enjoys, it gets harder to add weight to the bar. Performing only part of a repusually the top-quarter range of motionallows you to break this plateau. Its easier to handle heavier weight when youre doing only the first quarter of a rep, such as coming down just a few inches on the squat. Called a partial rep, this isnt necessarily cheating. When you use very heavy weights for a partial, you stimulate your central nervous system to recruit more muscle fibers. This then convinces your body that youre actually stronger, and youll find that you can handle heavier weights when you go back to using a full range of motion. The workouts that follow take advantage of this trick, alternating heavy partial-rep sets with heavy full-range ones for big gains in strength and the muscle growth that will inevitably follow.

Day I
1A ONE-QUARTER SQUAT
Sets: 4 Reps: 24 Rest: 120 sec.
1B SQUAT
Set up spotter bars in a squat rack so that you can lower yourself only one-quarter of the way down before touching the pins. Load the bar with 100130% of your max. Squat, lowering your body until the bar touches the pinsbut do not rest on them. Drive back up through your heels.
Set the spotter bars to the bottom position of your full squat. When you squat, take a deep breath and push your hips back as you descend. Push your knees outward at the same time. Use a load you could usually perform five reps with, but go for six if possible.

(continued from page 77)
WorldMags.net
If I were going to be the best, I would leave no possibility unexplored. And so when Dr. Cetojevic approached me with theories that to many of us might sound far-fetched, I was ready to listen. At that bizarre and shocking moment when my arm struggled under his pressure, I realized that the bread I was holding against my stomach was like kryptonite. I was ready to make some changes immediately. But the idea of giving up bread and other gluten-containing foodsfoods that were so precious to me, so ingrained in my life, my family, and my culturewas scary. Then Dr. Cetojevic explained that I shouldnt pledge to give up bread forever. As the saying goes, forever is a very long time. Two weeks, he said. You give it up for 14 days, and then you call me. It was hard at first. I craved the soft, chewy, comforting feel of bread. I craved crunchy pizza dough, sweet rolls, and all the foods that I learned contained wheatthings I had never suspected. For the first 10 days or so, I craved these foods, but I focused each day And I pledged that from that moment on, whatever my body told me, Id listen.
O O O
and, especially, a lot of bread. Bread is an important part of Serbian tradition, and when you are in wartime, bread is literally life; for many of us, during the NATO bombing of the late 90s, there were times when it was all we had to eat. I know what its like to have a family of five people with just 10 euros to sustain us; you buy oil, sugar, flourthe cheapest stuff and you make bread. One kilo of bread can stretch over three or four days. Even though my family never went truly hungry, for many, many months we lived having electricity and running water for only an hour or two a day. Bread sustained us. Even when times were good, it was always there for us. Because Serbia is close to Italy, Italian cuisine is a strong influence, so when we werent eating bread, we were eating pasta and, especially in my family, pizza. The Djokovic pizza parlor was our main source of income for most of my childhood, and, of course, it was home base for my earliest days at the tennis court across the street, where my lifes journey began. In other words, you may love wheat, rye, and other grains that go into making traditional breads, pastas, and pastries. But I promise, you dont love them more than I did. Its quite possible that, because I relied on bread and dairy for so much of my young life, my body became increasingly sensitive to them. When were young, our bodies can work through a lot of the challenges we present to it. Thats a blessing, but its also a curse. When youre young and strong, you can fight through the bad food, the stress, without necessarily getting sick or fatigued. But as we get older, and we stick to the same way of eating and living, we begin to experience problems. We need to make changes in the way we eat. The changes arent that hard. And the rewards can be astonishing. I said at age 6 that I wanted to be No. 1 in the world, and by some miracle, my first coach, Jelena Gencic, took me seriously. She also believed that being the very best meant studying much more than just tennis. She became a partner with my family in my intellectual upbringing. The world around us was changing, and the communism we were born under was crumbling. My parents understood that the future would be a very different place, and that it was important for their children to become students of the world. Listening to classical music, reading poetry, thinking intensely about the human conditionthis was part of my early training. It was in part because of this upbringing that I continued through my early life to explore every kind of conditioning I could find, from tai chi to yoga, and to seek out new expertise.
The changes arent that hard. And the rewards are astonishing.
on staying disciplined; and, fortunately, my family and friendseven though they thought I was crazysupported me in my quest. But as the days rolled along, I began to feel different. I felt lighter, more energetic. The nighttime stuffiness I had lived with for 15 years suddenly disappeared. By the end of the first week, I no longer wanted rolls and cookies and breads; it was as if a lifelong craving had miraculously abated. Every day I woke up feeling as though Id had the best nights sleep of my life. I was beginning to believe. And thats when Dr. Cetojevic suggested I eat a bagel. This was the true test, he explained. Eliminate a food for 14 days, then eat it and see what happens. And remarkably, the day after I introduced gluten back into my diet, I felt like Id spent the night drinking whiskey! I was sluggish getting out of bed, just as I had been during my teenage years. I was dizzy. My stuffiness was back. I felt as though Id woken up with a hangover. This is the proof, the doctor said. This is what your body is giving you to show you its intolerant.
BEING A PROFESSIONAL TENNIS player can be a very good life, or it can be very hard indeed. Te n n i s i s ve r y d i f f e re n t f ro m t e a m sports. It can be extremely lonely and very discouragingmore like being a musician than an athlete. There are nearly 2,000 male players ranked by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). Many of us, when we first start, are scrounging for dollars to support our profession, and to pay our way from one tournament to the next, because if you dont win, you dont get paid. Once you have some degree of success, however, the living gets lavish. Traditionally, tennis, like golf, has been a sport that relies more on training, skill, and natural talent than on physical conditioning. At the peaks of their careers, people like Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi were fit, but they focused more on skill than on diet and fitness. Even today, among the top 200 players in the world, many still eat whatever they want, dont think much about training other than the time they spend on the court, and enjoy their successand all the indulgences it can buyto the fullest. You can travel the world, make a million dollars a year, and have a very nice life if you have the natural skills and the dedication to be a top tennis pro. But once you get into the top 40 or so, things changeproper fitness and nutrition become fundamental. The best players serve at speeds of more than 135 miles an hour, and forehands regularly top 80 miles an hour. Top seeds like Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Andy Murray are probably stronger, faster, and fitter than any tennis players who have ever strode the court before. Were like precision instruments: If I am even the slightest bit offif my body is reacting poorly to the foods Ive eatenI simply cant play at the level it takes to beat these guys. More important, I cant be the friend, the brother, the son, the boyfriend, or the man I want to be, either. Eating the right foods gives me more than physical stamina; it gives me patience, focus, and a positive attitude. It allows me to be in the moment on the court, but also with the people I love. It lets me play at FOR A the highest level in every realm DETAILED of life. EATING PLAN BASED ON I bet you want to play at your DJOKOVICS highest level. DIET, SEE PAGE 109. Then here is my suggestion: Begin by changing the foods you eat.

Bruce Lee created the martial art of Jeet Kune Do because he recognized that none of the existing arts held all the answers. By combining the most practical components from various styles, he came up with a more natural, streamlined fighting system. Weve applied that thinking to this programa routine that draws from the ideas found in yoga, P90X, CrossFit, strongman, and all the other hot workouts we summarized in Build Your Own Fitness Trend (page 84). Weve taken the best and discarded the rest. Now all we need is an infomercial.
On one or two of your rest days, you can perform a modified mud run at your local playground. Go through every piece of equipment in the park, making it an exercise: Hand-walk across the monkey bars, do pushups on the swing set, walk the balance beam, run up the slide, etc. Be creative and have fun. Keep this up for 2030 m inutes. See mensfitness.com for a specific warmup, including yoga and P90X moves, to perform before each workout.

Creatine decoded
Learn the truth about the most popular muscle supplement By Sean Hyson, C.S.C.S.
CREATINE IS THE BEST-SELLING SPORTS supplement in history. Introduced in 1993, its become as much a part of gym culture as dumbbells or spandex. But the 20 years since its debut have done little to clear up misinformation on the subject. Heres the real deal on the stuff, sans the sales pitch:
WHAT IT IS: Creatine monohydrate is a chemical naturally produced in the body and stored in muscle. It can also be obtained by eating fish and meat (particularly beef ). As a sports supplement, its primarily sold in powder form (its white). HOW IT WORKS:
The more interesting areas to me are creatines impact on various disease states. Studies have credited creatine with furtherreaching health benefits, such as slowing the symptoms of Parkinsons disease and loss of sight, although this hasnt been proven. In 2012, an Australian study looked at creatine supplementation on vegans and vegetarians (a population unlikely to get creatine from diet alone). It found that creatine improved memory and intelligence measures that required processing speed in both groups.
DRAWBACKS:
AMERICANS CONSUME 4 MILLION KILOGRAMS OF CREATINE EACH YEAR.
Okay, pay attention. The fuel your body makes from the carbs, protein, and fat you eat is called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is the energy source that drives muscle contractions. When you work out, muscle contractions cause one of the phosphates in ATP molecules to oxidize, converting it to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), which is useless to the body unless it can be changed back into ATP. This is where creatine comes in. Creatine monohydrate contains phosphate. It works with ADP to make ATP again. When your muscles are refueled with ATP, youll be able to perform extra reps and experience stronger muscle contractions during training.
Creatine has been blamed for a host of problems from cramping to kidney trouble, but these claims are unproven. Creatine is one of the most well-researched, most effective, and safest supplements to date, Mohr says. The main drawback is that it may cause weight gain due to water retention, and some may not want that.
BENEFITS:
Creatine is widely seen as effective for increasing performance in high-intensity exercise, such as weight training and sprinting. It causes some water retention, so it can increase body weight as well, which is useful for gaining strength. The performance data are solid and well established, says Chris Mohr, Ph.D., a nutritionist and author (mohrresults.com).
HOW TO USE IT: Creatine monohydrate can be purchased in plain form by itself or as part of a formula that contains other ingredients. The typical prescription is to load creatine for five days by ingesting 20 grams per day (broken up into doses of three to five grams per serving). Afterward, a maintenance dose of three to five grams can be taken to keep muscle creatine levels high. However, Mohr says this is unnecessary. You can start with the maintenance dose of five grams per day, and youll reap the same benefits. Be wary of fancy creatine products that promise better results. There is no reliable research to show that other creatine formulations have any advantage over plain creatine monohydrate.
