Yes, it’s still 2017. Yes, that’s déjà vu you’re feeling. It seems the sun hasn’t quite set on this trio of veteran action stars, who have been churning out punch-em-out classics since your old man first started lifting weights. Following the success of Creed, which earned him an Oscar nod, Stallone will star and direct the military drama Tough as They Come, according to Deadline....

Approach shoes are useful not only for getting to the base of a climb, but also for light hiking, scrambling or everyday use. I often wear approach shoes just to run errands around town, or going on dog walks. The characteristics of an approach shoe are: a hard sticky rubber bottom, often with a rubber toe cap, low, ankle-cut length, and a fairly malleable upper construction. The intended purpose is to help climbers get through often rugged and uneven terrain to reach the bottom of a cliff, and to get them back down after a climb....

Having the right kit when you’re out for a ride is essential, but with indoor cycling workouts really taking off, what do you wear when you climb aboard a stationary bike?

That’s why we’re excited about Rapha’s new line of training gear, which is designed to keep you cool and comfortable on indoor rides....

Most guys spend far too much time chatting between exercises, leading to a much longer workout than necessary. To stay on-task at the gym and get an efficient workout in, you should time your rest periods. Wear a stopwatch, and set a timer to beep when it’s time to attack the weights again. How long you rest between exercises is completely dependent upon your goals and your individual workout. For instance, heavier workouts may require a few minutes between exercises, whereas workouts designed to strictly increase size should feature shorter rest periods, according to the Journal of Strength and Conditioning....

The barbell curl isn’t anywhere near as multifunctional as the bench press, deadlift, or squat.

In the mountain town of Flagstaff, Arizona, at 7,000 feet in altitude, the sky is always close.

Exercises that target the latissimus dorsi are staples of any good bodybuilding routine. Moves like the pulldown, the pullup, and the row—and their many variations—and are essential for any guy trying to build back muscle. (That, ostensibly, means you.) Surprisingly enough, though, lots of guys simply get lat exercises wrong—or, if they do them correctly, they’re simply not getting as much out of them as they could be. Here’s how to make the most out of your lat exercises....

Billy Kemper is, as you likely know, a four-time Jaws event winner. The only time he didn’t win, he finished runner-up to Maui hellman Ian Walsh. That’s some crazy, 1990’s Slater-esque domination–and he’s doing it on the biggest, meanest days at the world’s most psychotic wave. So it was no real surprise when, a few days ago at Jaws, Kemper scratched into the wave of the swell–an impossibly long, impossibly large, barreling behemoth....

Do I need to stretch after I finish a workout? At the end of a workout, the last thing most guys want to do is stretch and cool down. If they do dedicate time to stretching post-workout, it usually involves a few simple toe touches and some arm swings before heading for the smoothie bar. As you perform contraction after contraction during your workout, your muscles are left in a shortened state....

If you own a Jeep, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Ram pickup, a Chrysler 200 or 300, or Pacifica Minivan, Fiat Chrysler has issued both a warning and a recall for certain vehicles (and more vehicles are affected, too; see list below).
