And so here is the continuation from Fitness, Acrobatics and Gymnastics page #1, which has gotten too large for its own good! The pictures continue here, and I commend you to review the #1 page at your leisure… the pictures there won’t last for ever!
NOTE ADDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2018
THIS PAGE HAS ALSO GOTTEN TOO UNWIELDY AND, FOR SOME, TAKES AN AGE TO LOAD… SO NO MORE WILL BE ADDED HERE AFTER TODAY. SEE BLOG POST OF SAME DATE.
Meanwhile: “On With The Show!
THE NEWEST STUFF ON THIS PAGE WILL ALWAYS APPEAR IMMEDIATELY BELOW THIS NOTICE!
Making Use of The Muscle and Fitness
30th September 2018
One from our Czech friend Pavl… if I told you why he posts under the name ‘Ehm’, you wouldn’t believe it! Great photography of many sports…
Using the Light
27th September 2018
A short celebration of the great use of light by physique photographers.
Play Mates
24th September 2018
Guys trying stuff together – or just enjoying each other’s company.
Finding The Right Balance (1)
22nd September 2018
This subject needs no further comment, I think!
Two views of the gym in Chelyabinsk there. Now to Edward Upcott, with and without Doug Fordyce:
Next, Pedro Cabanyas, Spanish (gay) rhythmic gymnast: he likes the beach and pool!
A random selection now:
Finding The Right Balance (2)
22nd September 2018
And now, I mean the balance between sensible gym training for fitness and ludicrous over-development of essentially useless muscle by ‘bodybuilding’. Hopefully this next set shows guys who have struck the right balance!
Muscle
20th September 2018
Plain and simple results of hard work. Well done, guys!
The Last Wrestle Post Seems Popular
19th September 2018
…so here are some more!
Some are a wee bit younger than I usually post, but I think that they deserve and airing here to celebrate younger sportsmen.
…just LOVE the angle of these shots…
…we’ll stick with that match for a while…
Those lads are from South Africa.
Sometimes the training starts at a very young age!…
Some fights start in the locker room!
Sorry, those two are a bit small. So is this.
OK, bring on the more mature guys…
Red trunks is getting quite sweaty!
Bedtime?
Wrestlers
18th September 2018
A mix of wrestling pix with some posing wrestlers photographed by our friend Pavl in the Czech Republic. Great sport both for getting fit, getting strong, getting sweaty and getting up close and not-so-comfortable with like-minded guys!!
OK, that one is MMA. Same difference.
…and back to the mud for this last one!
If You’re Not Sweating, It’s Not Working!
18th September 2018
Weights, wrestling, running, whatever. If it is going to do the job, you gotta get real hot!
One assumes he got sweaty before he got in the car!
Pits on Parade
16th September 2018
A ‘hands-behind-neck’ pose to show off chest and abs (and triceps) provides opportunities for those guys who like guys showing their armpits. Apart from the odour of sweat to inspire further effort, armpits hold little attraction otherwise, but today’s guys seem determined to show them off too.
Back to Basics
13th September 2018
Ordinary guys… basic fitness work!
…and it’s never too early for little bro to join in…
Last Tango in Shanghai
7th September 2018
OK – the last post from China. We’re safely checked in for our flights back to civilisation. Happy to leave chopsticks behind (although we have become quite proficient!) as well as food in which the animal from which the meat came from cannot be identified.
Talking of meat, here’s a bunch of guys showing off their chests. Good work on display.
Nothing OTT
6th September 2018
Some nice bods, but nothing ‘over the top’… some more posts as we hide from the insane humidity in Shanghai!
Flexible Friends
6th September 2018
‘Hang In There, Guys!’
4th September 2018
Be as adventurous as these guys… try a book! Here’s the first in a series of three which tells how Dave and I got together (and what we then got up to):
The trilogy continues… (part 2)…
When Guys get Together…
4th September 2018
…expect some fun!
Enjoy those guys? Then take a chance on part three of the trilogy! The three parts are self-contained, but it makes a lot more sense of us if you read them in the right sequence!
Loving the Boy: ISBN 978-1-907732-30-0
The Power of Love: ISBN 978-1-907732-41-6
Against All Odds: ISBN 978-1-908645-35-7
And there’s a little bit more to come… after a few more pix…
Now what the f*** are they doing – there’s another rank of bin bags behind them waiting to do their thing…
…oh, maybe that thing follows? Whatever! There’s a fourth book which has nothing to do with the other three, it is cheaper, and it tells the tale of a lonely outcast gay lad who might (or might not) regain his true love after a journey over several thousand miles across the USA...
Go on, support the blog: you know you want to really… less than €10 from the publisher plus p & p… (or from us via e-mail at gymacrobat@gmail.co.uk)
‘Gym Rats Rule, OK!’
3rd September 2018
Gymnasts and Handstanders
3rd Sept 2018
I’m not sure about this next one… who does a rings routine with a friend and in dark glasses? And matching necklaces? Probably a set-up – but the muscles are OK…
Ballet boy doing Russian hold…
Possibly the railway line is not the best choice of location for a handstand…
Performers – and some Wannabees!
29th August 2018
Just for the photographer:
‘Let’s have a go’ at the wrestle club:
‘Why don’t we all give it a go?’
Ordinary Guys
27th August 2018
…well, guys who have put some effort into their appearance! But not models…
Beach, River and Pool
26th August 2018
Including lots of Speedos! But, first…
(See my next post on the ‘Gay Expression’ page for a variation on that theme…!)
(…would have been worth at least taking his belt off, you would think…)
And now for the Speedo boyz…
The same boy (pretty in pink..
(No water in sight there, but he’s definitely headed for the beach!)
And, finally, the Speedos that got away…
Sweat for What You Get!
24th August 2018
A good sweat is your reward for working out – both during it, and afterwards relaxing those tired muscles in the sauna!
Arms and the Man
24th August 2018
Not just a ‘gun show’, but how great work in the gym pays off with arm development.
Looking Good after Working Out – a MegaPost!
22nd August 2018
More catching up, with a double helping of 40 fitness dudes and groups. Enjoy!
(He’s in a peculiar location, but he’s definitely been doing the business…)
Please support this blog and its pages by buying one of the books… click on the covers for links! This is the first in a series of three…
Part three of ‘Living the Dream’…
This one is a stand-alone romantic (slightly gay) novel, and something of a ‘road trip’ in search of love…
Catching Up on the Gymnasts, Handbalancers and Performers
August 19th 2018
Big backlog of great pictures, not least because of delay in sorting out the Facebook sharing issue, so here we go with a mega-post:
Gymnasts’ playtime…
Ooops… leotard on for this next one: but worth it for the biceps I think…
Back Development
August 15th 2018
Backs rarely get the exposure that chests do. Let’s try and put that right for once!
Ready for Everything?
August 13th 2018
These first lads are ‘ready for ANYthing’!
The remaining four boys in this set aren’t actually dressed for combat, or engaged in it, but I’m betting that it would take much…
Some More Group Therapy
August 11th 2018
I really like being with other guys. Sharing something, whether it is sport, training, just chilling… just being mates. Here are some groups, to share with you guys. The first one is maybe ‘over the top’ in every sense!
Commercial break! Some ‘works of art’ of my own, on our favourite themes of sport, gay love, circus and adventure:
A final commercial break for a shorter, cheaper, novel – the main character is gay and not respected by is community as a result, and it is a sort of ‘anti-romance’ combined with a lonesome road trip
The next three feature the boys and coaches from Chelyabinsk gymnastics…
Ending this set as we began, with the cadets from Corpus Christ, Texas.
On The Level
August 9th 2018
Holding one’s body straight and level – either way up – requires considerable preparation on muscle tone and strength. Let’s celebrate that with this short set.
The first two are Egor Malyshev, a gymnast from Chelyabinsk. He likes the rings!
In fact, it is often the Street Workout boys from Russia and Eastern Europe that excel in this kind of thing.
