With all the ‘80s nostalgia manifesting in the broader culture of 2017 (fanny packs, checkered Vans, Stranger Things and its amazing soundtrack) it’s sort of not a surprise that getups from the era are popular choices for Halloween this year. Google’s annual Frightgeist study, released just last week, found that a general search for inspiration from the decade ranked 32nd on the 50 most-Googled costumes this year. RELATED: 8 Halloween Costumes We Can Get Behind Without a doubt, one of the most recognizable — and grisliest — men’s getups tied to the era is the pinstriped suit and clear-ish rain slicker worn by Christian Bale in American Psycho....

Believe it or not, six-pack abs aren’t a dead giveaway that you’ve got a super-strong core. “The truth is, if you get lean enough you will have a great-looking midsection,” says Mathew Uohara, C.S.C.S., founder of Hale Inu Strength and Conditioning. But looking good on the surface doesn’t necessarily mean your trunk is all-around tough. So, how can you focus on building “real” core strength? Uohara suggests these four training strategies....

There are many reasons to shave down there: hygienic, aesthetic…for one thing, you don’t have to worry about crabs—no place for them to go. Some guys also say it makes their pecker look bigger. There are three basic ways to do it: razor, trimmer, or wax. I like a razor and soap. Don’t use shaving cream—you can’t see what you’re doing and could cut something important. Some guys use cold water—it makes the job easier by tightening your sack’s skin....

War has been fertile ground for dramatic and action-packed movies over the years, and the intense new trailer for the film 1917 follows in those footsteps. The 1917 trailer takes you alongside the battles of World War I, following two soldiers on a mission across the harsh battlefields of Europe during that time period.

IT WAS A TALE of two trucks. I pulled in to the Home Depot driving a preproduction 2019 saber orange Ford Ranger and parked next to a typical example of the previous generation, last built in 2011: gray, two-door, cargo-box clad. It was a contractor’s special—the quintessential work truck. The young Ranger towered over the elder. They bore the same name, yet seemed from two worlds.

Before jet-setting to his next gig, DJ Ruckus is working hard to come out with music singles and EPs – one of his many goals for this year. “You know how everyone has their New Year’s resolution? I promised myself I would stay excited that way throughout the year and make sure that I was ambitious and pushing myself through things – getting smarter, reading more, learning a second or third language (Spanish and then maybe try French),” DJ Ruckus tells Men’s Journal exclusively....

Mid-February. Early morning. Sitting in our living room, coffees in hand, contemplating the gray winter light. A common interlude in our days together, gathering before work or whatever else the schedule holds, mostly in silence. “Something’s wrong with me,” Marypat announced. At our age this kind of statement carries weight, a chill of dread. We have so many friends who have succumbed to some ailment or condition, ambushed, their lives altered, things they had always done suddenly rendered impossible – paralysis, cancer, lupus, migraines, medical mishap, crippling accident....

Authorities started to close beaches on the Bukit Peninsula in Bali this week, leaving lineups that are usually teeming with surfers from across the globe all but empty. “There was one person out at Uluwatu on Tuesday,” said resident photographer Hamish Humphries. “It was head high and offshore. He must have snuck out somehow because they’ve closed Padang Padang, they’ve closed Uluwatu, and there’s probably more to follow.” The lockdown on the Bukit beaches follows a recent spate of coronavirus deaths on the island....

Pending World Record Dogtooth Tuna Landed From a Kayak in Guam The open ocean can afford some incredible opportunities to wrangle a fish of a lifetime from a kayak, but it’s not every day that fish is a world record. For Raf Vargas, that day recently happened off the coast of Guam. Picture this: You have a 170-pound dogtooth tuna tied to the end of your rod, it’s dragging you out to sea, the wind is picking up and you can’t take a single finger off of your rod to, as much as, take a drink of water....

Following his 10-year NFL career, former Washington Redskins center Will Montgomery made a decision to join what he calls “the skinny club”. At 6’3”, 305lbs, Montgomery was perfectly suited to dig into the trenches as an offensive lineman in the NFL, but once his career ended due to a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle, Montgomery knew he had to make a change. Montgomery decided to take charge of his overall health and fitness, detailing to the Washington Post how he completely overhauled his nutrition and started working out to shed his extra weight....

“Squats are bad for the knees” is the biggest myth in weight training. You may have heard that full squats are bad for your back, too. The correctly performed squat is a hips-dependent exercise. It doesn’t really stress the knees much at all. And the correct position at the bottom of the squat does in fact load the back. Which is fine, because the squat is a back exercise too....

As I clambered up the 41 steep steps to the UFC gym SoHo—every other stair emblazoned with motivational words like “strength,” “discipline,” and “determination”—I fought the urge to do an about-face. I was there to try UFC’s Daily Ultimate Training strength and conditioning class, and I was…on edge. No, I wasn’t expecting the place to have the same peaceful aura of a eucalyptus-scented space like Equinox, but I also wasn’t too sure how I’d handle working out near the kind of bloody, cranium-crushing fisticuffs they show on pay-per-view....
