Yes, it has been unusually hot where we are. But, as we head towards something cooling, we bring you fit guys in the sweatiest possible surroundings we can find - the sauna and (just one or two) the steam room. It's another of those places where guys can be found surreptitiously comparing their own physique with those around them (ignoring the fat sweaty guy dripping in the corner that no-one wants to talk to!).  If you are lucky enough to be a member of a gym which offers a post-workout sauna facility, you are in a great place, so long as it doesn't get crowded. You may be sufficient rich to have one at home, of course - we don't care... we just post the pictures where you can admire the development and body images which result from fit guys doing what they know they need to do. Join them: here, and for real!  Don't forget that there is another traditional element to the sauna experience: both before... ...and after...  If you're a Nordic person, you would of cours...

As we shake winter off, a huge number of guys have taken to early morning ice baths to freshen up for the day. Doesn't seem all that long since the ice-bucket challenge was trending. We used to use ice baths at the end   of training (and still do) to relieve muscle strain. And post-sauna too (especially if the birch twigs have been applied first!). But we also like wild swimming, so I guess that's kind of the same thing (only a tad warmer!).  Shirtless and barefoot in the snow - that's another little extravagance that some guys like to explore.  OK, so we're all getting cold in this post.  Yes, he is just 13. We've seen it verified. And knows what he likes! The next one comes with a bit of justification:   To finish, we do indeed find the sauna - and a plunge after... and a bit of fitness philosophy to go with it. Enjoy
