Plateau Busting 101

Filed Under (Equipment Experiments) by Admin on 23-08-2010

Manscaping your nipple hair to attach to your nostril hair won’t help you lose weight butI admire his willingness to change things up! Also, I think this dude shaved a swatch down the top of his head. That might be my fave part.

Book Cover Photos! (You Guys Were Right About the PinkJacket!)

CrossFitters, with their characteristic understatement, have taken to calling what happened to me today “a metabolic reaction.”

Listen up, Hollywood…. THIS is the form of manliness I would seriously like to see when I flip on the tube or plunk down my hard earned dollars to check out one of your flicks. Just look at ‘em — fit, primed, capable and ready for anything men who actually take a little bit of time out of their day to hit the gym! Or hit something! ;) haaaa!
