Face it — your wife’s smelly “hand cream” does absolutely nothing for your callouses, nails, or cracked skin. For $14, Beckman’s Original Basics for Men Ultimate Tough Skin Relief can be yours, and you’ll be damn glad you gave it a try. Here’s a few reasons we dig the stuff. For one, the compact tube will last a long time (read: a little dab goes a long way). Second, healing ingredients like almond oil, aloe, and vitamin E work in unison to repair itchy, flaky, parched skin....

WHEN STAFF SERGEANT MIGUEL COLON VAZQUEZ woke up on the morning of June 2, 2016, his schedule looked ordinary, just another summer workday that would hopefully end well before 5 p.m. Sergeant Colon, as his fellow soldiers referred to him, had been stationed at Fort Hood Army post, in central Texas, since 2010, and lived in the nearby city of Killeen with his wife, Ngo Pham, and their three daughters. That morning, he was scheduled to drive to the base for calisthenics, come back home for a shower and a quick breakfast, and then report to his company’s motor pool at 9 a....

Next to the marathon, the mile may be the most iconic of all race distances. Short enough to inspire an all-out push, but long enough to require stamina, the humble mile — 5,280 feet, in case you’re wondering — has stood as the measure of human running ability at least since Roger Bannister broke the four-minute barrier in 1954. In high school and college track meets, runners have competed in the mile for decades, but now the road-mile race is seeing a slight uptick in popularity....

So, you’ve eaten way too many of Grandma Irene’s Christmas cookies and skipped the gym a few too many times in December. You’re afraid the talking scale you got for Christmas will start calling you “Lard Ass”. But hey: It’s 2018, and it’s time for a fresh start. Now you just need a goal—a New Year’s resolution that’s reachable, but not too easy. A 5K? Lame. The full 26.2 marathon? Getting warm....

Gary Null / NBC / Getty Images When it’s blazing hot out, an unstructured (or “deconstructed”) blazer, basically a jacket without the lining, shoulder pads, and other stifling stuff, is the perfect way to remain dapper without looking like you’ve been hanging out in a sauna all day. Don’t worry, these aren’t 80s/Miami Vice jackets, but they are a contemporary take on that lightweight, breathable style. Here are four we can see wearing to an upscale summer soiree....

At 49 years old, Josh Brolin still does serious work in the gym to look otherworldly jacked on screen. The guy appears as Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, Matt Graver in Sicario: Day of the Soldado, and Cable in Deadpool 2—a role that required a physique to one-up Ryan Reynolds‘, sans the CGI movie magic that transformed Brolin into Thanos. In preparation to play the mutant soldier in Deadpool 2, Brolin kicked it into overdrive and hit the gym for at least three hours a day with trainer Justin Lovato....

It’s no shock to you, our audience, that Kai Lenny is a big deal. He’s a world-class standup paddler, windsurfer, kitesurfer, surfer, big-wave surfer, foiler and maybe even ping-pong player for all we know. Turns out that all those ocean skills literally pay off: surf rag Stab Magazine named Lenny as their number 10 wealthiest surfer of 2018 in their yearly “Rich List.” While Stab doesn’t list where the reported figures come from, they claim that Lenny earned $1,068,000 in 2018, mostly through endorsements from Hurley, Nike, Red Bull, Tag Heuer, GoPro and Vertra....

Sean Obeirne and his younger brother were on the way to breakfast with the family in Kruger National Park in South Africa when they came upon a pride of lions hanging out alongside the road. “After maybe half an hour at the sighting, a young male lion approached a car at the sighting and it was much to my younger brother and my amusement,” Obeirne told Latest Sightings, recalling the story....

The SUP Awards is just around the corner and while we can’t wait to celebrate at the 2018 Pacific Paddle Games After-Party, just exactly who will claim the sport’s most prestigious awards is still anyone’s guess. Voting tallies have been razor-thin thus far, but there’s still plenty of time to support your favorite athlete and cast your vote now. And while voting remains open for the Top 3 Male Paddlers, Top 3 Female Paddlers and Top Expedition, we are excited to announce that we have opened voting to a fourth category: Movie of the Year....

As one of the most athletic players in the NBA, Iman Shumpert knows that the key to staying on top of his game is to focus in on his training. For all the natural ability that Shumpert has—and he has a lot—the Sacramento Kings guard also knows that he needs to put in the right amount of time in the gym to make sure he’s at the top of his game on the court....

The story of Kobe Bryant‘s rise to NBA greatness is no secret. But even as the recent, tragic passing of the legendary Lakers star continues to cast a reflective lens on Bryant’s legacy, there is one overlooked chapter: that is, the Mamba’s fascination with another apex predator. Bryant had more than just a keen interest in sharks. In September 2013, while recovering from his knee injury, Bryant took a private yacht to Guadalupe Island, 15 miles west of Ensenada, Mexico....

There’s no denying that America’s public lands have been facing historic challenges in the last couple of years: a government shutdown that barred staff from their posts for weeks, with disastrous ripple effects; policy decisions that have threatened the natural character of protected spaces and shrunk their physical boundaries; proposed oil and gas drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, despite loud alarm by agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; the reallocation of $2....

Over the weekend a hefty crowd of Hawaii’s best tube-riding specialists gathered on Oahu’s North Shore at the world’s most revered wave—Pipeline—for the Da Hui Backdoor Shootout in memory of Duke Kahanamoku. For the third year running the Shootout (historically a traditional surfing event) hosted the Pipeline SUP Invitational, and Day One saw some of the sport’s hardest charging surfers the likes of Kai Lenny, Zane Schweitzer, Keali’i Mamala, Kainoa McGee and others go toe-to-toe in what Hawaiian’s might deem three- to six-foot, chunky Pipeline....

by Mike Harvey If you want to simulate what it feels like for 99 percent of whitewater standup paddlers who attempt running a waterfall on a paddleboard, try this: Go to your nearest municipal pool with a high-dive and jump off with an air mattress. OK I realize a drop stitch paddleboard inflated to 15PSI is harder than an air mattress and there’s no moving water or rocks in a pool, but you get the picture....

More so than other coastal towns in New Jersey, Long Beach Island suffers from acute bipolar disorder. The “season” is two months of hot chaos, with some fun and small waves worked in. The “off season” is a long eight months of cold, storm swells and desolation. Mitchell Gaudioso on the glide. Photo: Courtesy of Ryan Johnson But somewhere in between is a sliver of joyous moderation. Before and after the summer rush are ephemeral weeks of perfect temps, occasional waves and natural wonder that are a perfect time to visit....

We’re on the edge of mud season. It’s prime time to head to the desert, soak up the last of the warm weather and play outside before it snows. But if you’re thinking of making a trip out to, say, the Utah desert, you might not be the only one. This time of year, campgrounds in national parks like Arches and Canyonlands can be overrun with people who had the same idea you did....

It’s a fact: A man wears his jeans through just about everything—from Super Bowl wins (or losses) and first dates to casual Fridays and hanging with his buddies. A good pair of jeans is something he can always count on. And every pair should fit like it was made just for him. So we sat down with Nico Peyrache, VP of denim design at Lucky Brand, to find out how you can get the perfect fit, every time....

The Ghostbusters are back. Well, at least some of their relatives are. The first trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife is here, bringing a continuation to the franchise with new characters that are directly connected to the original Ghostbusters team. How Paul Rudd Got Even More Shredded for ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp’ Read article The new film follows a family, mother Callie (Carrie Coon) and her kids, Trevor and Phoebe (Finn Wolfhard and Mckenna Grace), having to leave New York City after getting evicted....

What happened when two young FBI agents posing as small-time insurance-fraud operators talk their way into a meeting with a master con artist? The agents had no training in undercover work, so there were lots of jitters—and since the episode took place in 1977, there was also the requisite fumbling with not-quite-ready-for-prime-time surveillance gear. In this excerpt from the new book Chasing Phil: The Adventures of Two Undercover Agents with the World’s Most Charming Con Man, J....
