Be A Man

Weigh yourself, lose weight

tr4v1s — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:56:15 +0000

This is short and sweet. Weigh yourself at least once a week, and you will be more motivated to work harder to drop the pounds. The more you are reminded, the more you want to do about it. But at the same time, seeing small results often might be discouraging. Just remember, results, no matter how small, are still results. Keep at it.

Whole-Grain vs. Multi-Grain

tr4v1s — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:38:49 +0000

DO NOT be fooled. Multi-Grain, for the most part, is a scam. It is using the word grain to make you think healthy. But just because the word grain is used, does not mean it’s the best product for you. It simply means, just as it says, multi. More than one type of grain is used. That could mean processed and refined over and over. Here is a tip. Whole-grain, is exactly what it says also, WHOLE. This is good stuff. It is real. And you want at least 3 servings of it a day. So stay away from the refined multi-grain scam that has probably been tricking you in to thinking it’s doing you some good, when it is doing almost the opposite. Get some whole grain, and get more of it than you probably are getting right now.

Can’t get her to reach the O?

First things first, don’t trip. From what I have read, many women reach their 30′s before ever having an orgasm. Women are a little bit harder to figure out than us, and that means figuring out what works for them sexually. Let her know that you are open to new things and try to experiment to see what works for her. Pay attention to her signs and reactions. Do NOT, however, dwell on trying to make it happen. That will only make things work. So have fun, enjoy it, and she will too. And remember the old adage “practice makes perfect”?, never have you wanted to use it like you do right now.

Girl of the week-April Scott

April Scott. Wow. Google her. Go rent Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning. Thank me later. Have a nice day.

First date….don’t blow it

tr4v1s — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 07:10:09 +0000

Here is one of the most common things that can ruin your first date with the girl of your dreams, and shatter those dreams of a second date. Alcohol. You drink, she drinks, all is well. Except us as men tend to drink a little bit more excessively, which is a big problem. 50 percent of women lose interest if you drink too much on the first date. So keep an eye on how many she is having, and maybe even stay one behind. Now I’ll have a sip, hoping for you to get that call back. Cheers.

Don’t let the treadmill trick you!

tr4v1s — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 07:06:35 +0000

Yah, running on the treadmill seems equitable when you’re at the gym or the weather outside isn’t the best, but it may also be misguiding you to the results you want. Here is the problem: you think you are going faster than you actually are. Researchers at the University of Texas at El Paso did an experiment. They had people run on land and then try to match their speed on a treadmill. They overestimated their treadmill speed by nearly 40 percent. So next time you want to use the treadmill, keep that in mind, and crank up the speed just a little bit more.

Be a man!

Hey all! My name is Travis. I am a student studying pre-med in Las Vegas, NV. Health and wellness is very important to me and my life, and I am constantly learning and studying how to improve this. I will constantly be updating with quick health, sex, fitness, and nutrition tips. We all know how to be manly, but how about refining that a little bit? Come in, grab a seat, and be the best man you can be! -Travis

Why do you think about other women in bed?

tr4v1s — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:14:35 +0000

Do you feel guilty? No? Okay, well then you might have a whole separate problem here. But for those of us who find this odd and possibly unfair to our partner, listen up.

Debby Herbenick, a sex researcher and educator at Indiana University, says it does NOT mean we don’t love our partner. We are often aroused by images, and our brains constantly tries to feed them to us for stimulation. Don’t try to block them out, that simply makes it worse. Accept it and do what you were doing before you started worrying about it, and please your woman.

As I write….

I often wonder, what is it that makes us men? Why are we constantly competing, like life is some grueling grudge match to see who is more macho than the other? We are, after all, in this together are we not? Why not act like it? Sure, after a beer or three it might be slightly more difficult for us to control our emotions. But that is part of us learning to better ourselves too, isn’t it? I may be young, but I have had experiences in life that some older men cannot fathom. At 16, I broke my back. Not my first motocross racing injury, but one that made me think like an old timer instead of the young high school student I really was. I began to think about what was really important in life. Did I even consider quitting racing? No. But was I forced to take into consideration that this life can throw you places you didn’t think possible? Absolutely. We are all trying to get the hot girl, drive the nice car, and own the nice house. Who can bench more? Who has better abs? Yes, these are things to strive for, but not obsess over. Can we not be content with good health and a home to begin with? Sure, your buddy over there has a new Lexus and you drive an old Civic, but that makes you YOU. Let us be men, like men. Strive for excellence. Smile in public, we don’t need everyone to be a tough guy. Hate to break it to ya fellas, but the nice guy over there complimenting the lady like a gentleman is probably going to be the one with a chance. Here’s to improvement, courtesy, and togetherness as men. We sure as hell need it. -Travis

Train like a cyclist, in 10 minutes!

tr4v1s — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:57:24 +0000

I have been racing motocross since I was 8 years old. When I was about 16, it came to the point where there was some serious conditioning involved. I ran, and ran, and ran, and ran. Then an ACL injury stopped my running, and did so in a hurry. I resorted to cycling to reduce pain and wear on my knee. Aldon Baker, who trains professional athletes and is a top cyclist himself, gave us a tip for when we are short on time. Cycle 2 minutes to warm up first and foremost. Then 2 minutes AS HARD as you can. Then 2 minutes to cool, then 2 minutes hard. Do this for 10 minutes (not including 2 minute warm up and cool down.) The work your heart is doing is incredible. Try this, and tell me you’re not pooped by the time you’re finished….And if you are on of those who thinks cycling is a joke, here is something for you to think about. The heart of an average Tour de France rider can hold 20-40 percent more blood than the normal man. Wanna get on the bike yet?
