A mixed bag today of guys dedicated to their sports and to training for them, equipping their bodies for endurance in various ways - and then, for lighter relief, a few fun things we've come across. A shorter post than usual today, but we have quite a few extra posts recently. Start with a young Muay Thai enthusiast on a training camp in Thailand and enjoying (?) some of the traditional things that go with that, starting with a traditional oil massage pre-fight: ...training with his Thai friends in high temperature and humidity after the oil session...   ...and not forgetting ice bath at the end of session... Talking of which: But why use your tub on a sunny day if you can put it in the snow? ... ... Gymnast Yevgeny works on his extreme shoulder flexibility (we gymnasts call this 'Elgrip')... More fighters now: our Azerbaijani friends first: All fighters need strong abs: Snow outside? Don't you want to be IN it? Yes, it's always fun to be shirtless in the snow: Here

Yes, spring has sprung for those of us in the northern hemisphere. Fewer storms, more sun and a summer of fitness to look forward to. So it seems time to post our stocks of shirtless guys enjoying snow and ice during the winter. The body images are cool, the fitness obvious - and the benefits of ice baths remain under debate!
