Scientists have unearthed previously unknown rooms in the pyramid of Sahure in Giza, Egypt . The dig was led by Mohamed Khaled, an Egyptologist at Julius-Maximilians-Universität of Würzburg (JMU) in Germany. His team unearthed a number of chambers (or “magazines”) which likely stored “funerary furniture.” They promise to give new insight to the pyramid itself, as well as to the pharaoh Sahure himself, who ruled around 2500 B.C., during the Fifth Dynasty. According to his report on the findings, Khaled’s mission was to safeguard the pyramid’s integrity. In 2019, he and his team set about stabilizing the structure from within, going from room to room. During this process, they came upon the chambers which had been inaccessible to previous explorers.  Of course, that was a great moment,” Khaled told Men’s Journal . “We were jumping from happiness [because] we have achieved something that no one [had] done before.” His team and the construction workers had an impromptu party to ...

Former child star Madisyn Shipman is perhaps best known for playing Kenzie Bell in the Nickelodeon series Game Shakers.  The comedy, which aired for three seasons from 2015 to 2019, was about two seventh graders who start a multimillion-dollar gaming company.  But these days Shipman is shedding her clean teen image in favor for her own money-making scheme. The 20-year-old has joined the  Playboy digital creator platform, similar to the OnlyFans business model, where she's earned herself financial freedom and has been able to self-fund her music career. The publisher launched the platform, initially called Centerfold, in 2021, after shuttering the print magazine in 2020. Prior to that, Playboy had experimented with going nudity-free in 2015, but brought back the risqué content just two years later in 2017. The company now says it has already paid out millions of dollars to creators who are encouraged to "express themselves, their creativity and their sex...

Fresh off a first-place finish at the 2023 Europa Pro Championship, Regan Grimes has quickly shifted his focus back in a familiar direction. By narrowly edging out Nathan de Asha for the Men’s Open title on Sept. 17, Grimes punched his ticket to the 2023 Mr. Olympia contest. Of course, the Canadian-born IFBB pro is no stranger to competing on the biggest stage in the sport. But after placing 15th in the Men’s Open division in each of his first two trips and skipping the 2022 Olympia to pack on more muscle, Grimes has plenty to prove. With the 2023 Olympia scheduled for Nov. 2-5 , he officially kicked off his prep by posting a training vlog on his YouTube channel on Sept. 26, 2023. Grimes’ grueling back and biceps workout begins around the 1:25 mark.

A new report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate surfaced a troubling trend on TikTok. According to the findings released Sept. 28, U.S. TikTok users ages 18–24 watched videos with hashtags associated with steroids and other related substances up to 420 million times in the past three years.  Many of these videos also contained hashtags like #teenfitness and #teenbodybuilding, likely as a way to reach the countless Gen Z users on the app. These clips often featured people with bulging muscles and promoted the use of certain substances while failing to emphasize the potential health risks and side effects of using steroids to achieve a bigger physique. A simple search shows just how prevalent they are, with boys as young as 14 years old flexing for the camera and thousands of strangers online.  "Boys are being taught that they need to have really big muscles like Avengers to be a real man," Center for Countering Digital Hate CEO Imran Ahmed stated plainly. ...

Walking is great for both physical and mental health, but the wrong pair of shoes can ruin a walk before you even step out of the front door. Membership to one’s local walking club isn’t required; from walking the dog to browsing the aisles at the grocery store, most people walk just about every day. And if you walk every day, you should own a comfortable pair of walking shoes or sneakers. The trouble with finding shoes for walking is that it’s an impossibly broad category. All shoes can be walked in, but which shoes should be walked in? Because every foot is different, there’s no singular shoe that will work for everyone. To help figure out how to determine the best walking shoes for various concerns, we consulted Mark Mendeszoon, D.P.M. , a multi-board certified podiatrist, surgeon, and physician spokesperson with the American Podiatric Medical Association. How to Choose the Best Men's Walking Shoes For starters, Dr. Mendeszoon recommends wearing running shoes for walking. ...

Perhaps the third time will be the charm for the Australian version of the Gladiators television series. After a previous attempt to revive the show lasted just one season, producers made sure there will be no shortage of star power for the 2024 reboot by assembling a loaded lineup that officially includes four CrossFit Games athletes and a powerlifting champion. On Sept. 26, 2023, the show’s official Instagram account posted a photo of the cast for the upcoming revival. For fans of the CrossFit Games, Gladiators will provide an opportunity to watch some of Australia’s top athletes compete in a much different arena.
