Most exercisers out there are looking to lose some weight and inches off their waist, which typically means having to cut down on food intake. However, there are always hard-gainers out there too—guys who want to put on weight but it doesn’t seem to come easy no matter what they try. In many cases, these are guys who work out a lot but simply don’t pack in enough food to gain the weight and build the muscle for which they’re looking....
An engineer’s side project grew into something so big that he quit his job this week to pursue it full-time. Sisun Lee, formerly a staff product manager for Tesla, is now flying under his own flag as founder of Morning Recovery.

Well, right now I’m talking to you from bed, because I have the flu, which turned into bronchitis and pneumonia. I’m just in bed going, “What the fuck.” That sounds terrible. Yeah, but I’m also a working mom of three kids, so when you’re not sick, you have these fantasy dream sequences every day where you’re like, “Oh my god, if I could just get sick, I could lie in bed....
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is a preview-only version of Adam Levine’s cover story in the October 2017 issue of Men’s Fitness. For the full story, including exclusive content, pick up a copy on newsstands on Monday, September 11. It’s a cloudless, windless afternoon in Beverly Hills that’s officially 92° but feels closer to 92 billion° when you’re in direct sunlight. Adam Levine doesn’t seem to notice. He’s standing shirtless in his driveway, a layer of sweat covering his tatted-up body, playing a losing game of tug-of-war with his rare 1973 Porsche 911 RS....
Jamaica is more associated with all-inclusive beach resorts, spicy cuisine and laidback tunes than great sea kayaking. Yet the island nation in the Caribbean Sea features a diverse shoreline including towering 1,000-foot cliffs, surf beaches and quaint fishing villages. Jae Edwards, a personal trainer based in Jamaica’s capital city of Kingston, didn’t set out on a circumnavigation to promote his native country’s sea kayak potential. Rather, he made it a challenge—for himself and his entire country—to promote active living as a means of combatting cardiovascular disease....
After professional skimboarder Austin Keen got loads of attention for wakesurfing on a coffee table that he bought for $9 at a thrift store earlier this week, he jumped on the opportunity to auction it off and donate the proceeds to Water Walkers – a nonprofit that brings hope to inner-city children through education and water sports. The auction closed at $875 and his sponsor One Wake vouched to match any donation up to $500, as well as pay for shipping....
Photograph by Travis Rathbone Last November, Erin Martucci became the first woman to deliver a child using nothing but virtual reality to ease her pain. It was a Saturday morning at Orange Regional Medical Center in Middletown, New York, and Martucci had been having contractions for more than two hours.

We’ll hazard a guess that you are keenly aware of the benefits of mindfulness. You’ve likely read the stories (perhaps in this magazine) on how it gives you more clarity, energy, and creativity, and maybe you’ve even started your own morning meditation routine, downloaded a how-to app, or visited Zen-out studio spaces like MNDFL and Inscape. The trend that began as a seated practice on a mat, however, has taken off as a better way to log America’s most popular form of exercise: running....
Ask any surfer at your local beachie about surfing in China, and they’ll either mention something about a left, or simply stare back at you blankly. While some know that Riyue Bay on Hainan Island can hold surf, most know little to nothing about China’s waves, the people who ride them and the burgeoning surf culture on the coast. In “Local Flavor,” a series that aims to give an in-depth look at surf scenes around the world, against the backdrop of the Duct Tape Invitational and Sanya Festival, we’ll pair the iconic surf personalities of the DTI with the local surfers who know their surf scene best, and record the conversations and experiences that follow....
Over the last decade, Fox Sports analyst Troy Aikman has established himself as one of the top sports broadcasters working in the business. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and three-time Super Bowl champion was known for his focus and preparation when he was a player, and he’s brought that to his post-football career in the booth. Aikman originally started broadcasting games in NFL Europe, and later joined up with Joe Buck as part of Fox Sports’ “A-Team”, calling the top games on the network each week....
In America, we don’t have kings. We have quarterbacks. The QB is more than just an iconic sports position: It’s the dominant metaphor for capable leadership in America. Senators and CEOs would trade jobs tomorrow with Tom Brady. In him, they see a glimmer of themselves—the leader standing tall above the chaos, using the grunts around him to win the Super Bowl, again, and then going home to a bed occupied by a supermodel wearing nothing but six strategically placed Super Bowl rings....

The old flip-phone with an afterthought camera is now definitely a thing of yesteryear. Why use a relic when you can viably combine a personal assistant and computer into a pocket-sized device with a 16-megapixel camera — actually, make that two or three cameras. Google’s Pixel 4, like other recent models, has two rear-facing cameras, one of which is 16 megapixels, with an 8MP front-facing camera. Added options mean sharper photos, detailed images with more-than-large-enough files for printing....
Countless WWE fans consider John Cena to be one of their heroes, and he’s proved that he’s more than deserving of the honor.

In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies MUSIC “I like the beat on that new Tyga song ‘Taste,’ but I don’t like any of the lyrics in the verses.

Bumping intense music through your headphones at the gym may have become second nature to you by now, but a new study from the Frontiers of Psychology journal suggests that that your “Pumping Iron” playlist might not actually be pumping you up as much as you’d think. “Motivational music,” as the study authors put it, won’t do much for your individual athletic achievements—but it may increase your willingness to take risks, which could have its own payoffs in the weight room....
