Eventually every winter gives way to spring. The last flakes fall, you do the pond skim, and hike the hill after the resort closes. Unless you’ve got that ticket to Argentina in July, you won’t be making any turns until next season. But that doesn’t mean life is over. Snowboarders don’t just watch reruns of Seinfeld for the next seven months. They travel. They surf. They hike. They skate. They climb....
Going vegan (or just vegetarian, for that matter) isn’t easy and it isn’t for everyone. But the case for going animal-free has been getting stronger in recent years, as studies have shown that vegetarian athletes may actually perform better than meat-eaters, and as more super-jacked athletes have started swearing by the vegan diet. Even though vegetarians can save an average of $750 per year on groceries compared to omnivores, finding vegan-friendly products can be difficult and expensive....

“My friend went on this completely plant-based, whole-foods diet. I’m interested in limiting or eliminating animal products—but is it actually possible to get the protein and calcium my muscles and bones need?“ Absolutely. You can still maintain strong bones as a vegan or vegetarian and gain muscle. What’s key, says Leslie Bonci, R.D., L.D.N., director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, is packing in calcium-rich dairy subs while following this simple formula for successful muscle protein synthesis: Weight training plus adequate protein—that is, getting enough protein and spreading intake throughout the day....
There’s a certain segment of guys that will bemoan the Urus, Lamborghini’s ultraluxe SUV. For a brand known for supercharged testosterone, isn’t the idea of a four-seat, all-wheel-drive family hauler a bit too practical—what happened to the company set to out-alpha them all? In truth, this is Lamborghini’s second swing at an SUV, after the brutish LM002 (1986–1993). That machine was outfitted with a V12 engine, from the scissor-doored Countach you taped to the bedroom wall, and was, perhaps, ahead of its time....

We don’t get hyped for many whiskeys these days, but we definitely got excited when we heard Old Overholt was coming out with a bonded rye. The pre-Prohibition brand has quietly languished in the background as all of America’s other whiskeys seem to have been rebooted here and there, so if the powers that be have finally turned their attention to Old Overholt, it must be to do something great. Turns out, the excitement was warranted....
Orlando Bloom shot into superstardom after donning a bleach-blonde wig and elf ears for the wildly popular Lord of the Rings franchise (and let’s not forget the billowing getups for Pirates of the Caribbean). He’s never necessarily been an action star with bulging biceps and a rippling six-pack. He didn’t have to be—he’s a good-looking dude with an accent. But as of late, the 40-year-old actor has taken a vested interest in health and fitness, thanks to some celebrity friends whose lives revolve around being in insane shape....
