Best Abs Contest

There is a new, fun quarterly contest available to college students who have great abs.

CollegeAbs.com is a Best Abs Contest and already has several dozen students competing. Check it out and bust out your camera and enter. Looks like some people out there are totally ripped in the abs department!

(You must attend a University or College, because the contest requires you register with CampusMen.com - a free publicity service for college students.)

Firefighter Workouts

You may want to be a male model, but would you like to have the endurance of a hero? Or at least look like a hero?

Firefighter Workouts are unique to other workouts because they are designed to train people to move rapidly while burdened by carrying 60-80 pounds of equipment. (Just imagine how heavy an oxygen tank and other gear is when walking up stairs - remember, in a fire situation, elevators do not function.)

That is where a firefighter workout comes in. The folks at Workouts4Men have compiled a list of all the firefighter workouts in book and DVD form, along with one piece of gear that is a must-have if you want a truly authentic firefighter routine. Hint: It is very heavy to ship.

Male Model Workout

For those guys who want to become male models or at least look like a model, check out the site, Male Model Workout.

Who would have known there was so much that goes into getting a model's body. You would assume that you just hit the gym and start lifting weights. According to the site, male models must fit into specific sizes of clothing due to the timing of advertising campaigns!

Also included is some interesting dirty tidbits about the life of a male model and how they get involved in the nightclub scene - which tends to ruin their workouts. Check it out.

Dumbbell Exercises for Aspiring Models

Going to the gym to lift weights and get a developed six pack is an everyday requirement for male models. However, with Auditions, call-backs, day jobs, testing with photographers and general hussling for the next modeling job, sometimes it is difficult to get to the gym.

This is where dumbbell exercises can help. With a basic set of dumbbells, it is possible to maintain a workout plan whenever a model cannot hit the gym.

Usually a model can get a basic workout in with only 35 pound, 40 and 50 pound dumbbells.
