Fitness, Acrobatics Etc #2

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!

Meanwhile: “On With The Show!

THE NEWEST STUFF ON THIS PAGE WILL ALWAYS APPEAR IMMEDIATELY BELOW THIS NOTICE!

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.

Friends

August 8th 2018

Two guys together, doing their thing… or just ‘chillin’!

Cooling Off

August 6th 2018

Swimming boys, playing boys, showering after…

All Hands on Deck!

August 2nd 2018

…in the sense of being upside down, weight on the hands!

If you look closely at the silhouettes on the front covers of my first three books, you’ll see some more handstands! You might even enjoy reading the words that go with them (especially if gay friendly). Click on the cover to find out more.

One in the snow – why not? Shirtless, naturally!

OK, that’s not really a handstand, I agree! A balance at least, though.

OK,, for the pedantic, that’s a tuck somersault and a layout back somersault with knees bent which should really be straight… practice makes perfect!

I know this next one is a repeat, but I like it because the position is a bit weird…

Finally for this set, there are many places a gymnast can choose to lift to handstand – but the serving hatch is a new one on us!

The Long Hot Summer Continues…

July 30th 2018

…let’s celebrate! Join the boys in the sun… and perhaps in the water too…

(I had to get a lifter into this set somehow!)

And the finale for this set – lovely suntan, clear water, naughty but nice…

‘Deus et Machina’

July 27th 2018

(Demi)Gods and their (Muscle) Machines (if you see what I mean!). That’s ‘machines’ as in ‘gym equipmen’t… except that the first machine is a steam locomotive. But it rather suits the guy hanging off the front…

Maybe the next guy is a little too relaxed… but we hope he’s been making good use of tat bench:

Just a little equipment here…

And a bonus picture: here’s a ‘machine’ of a different kind – cryo treatment for a sore but well-built body:

Feeling a Little ‘Chesty’?

July 24th 2018

I woke up feeling ‘a little chesty’ this morning. It was called Dave. Here’s a few for you to admire – as for feeling them, you’ll just have to fantasise 🙂

How’s that for openers…? Here he is again…

A different angle…

Ooops… blink and you’ll miss that one. As large as it gets, I’m afraid.

Two at a time…

Some More Gymnasts

July 22nd 2018

An acrobatic men’s four ready for their show routine finishes off this set…

Some ‘A’ Listers… Guy’s Who Have ‘Got it Right’!

…by putting in the hours in the gym…

Centre of Attention

July 19th 2018

Boys who deserve to be… as a result of the efforts they have clearly made to shape their bodies and build their fitness. Enjoy.

And, finally for this group, a bit of joke. He’s centre of attention all right, but then the other four are his clones!

“Sore Today, Strong Tomorrow”

July 15th 2018

A ‘double-strength’ posting of guys who’ll take the pain to get the gain. starting with 14yo Egor.

Commercial break! More pix follow.

Your support, through buying books for yourselves and friends, would be greatly appreciated. I recommend that you start here…

…and then, if not in total despair, the other three run in sequence!

 

 

‘Tis The Season to Get Wet…

July 12th 2018

Grapplers

July 12th 2018

“The Manly Art”...

…and now, celebrating the start of the winter season (in Turkey)…

Some younger South African kids enjoying ‘the manly art’ too…

No Excuses!

July 9th 2018

Yes, it’s hot! Pretty much everywhere (at least in the northern hemisphere)… but that is no excuse for not doing your very necessary workouts.

GET UP EARLY!

A Selection of Excellent Pets…

July 2nd 2018

…especially if house trained…

 

 

Make sure that they understand personal hygiene (the purpose of the bathroom)…

Some like to show off..

…especially on social media…

Let them express themselves…

Keep them well fed…

…and let them into the fresh air and sun occasionally (under carefully controlled conditions, of course)…

It is often kinder to keep two, so they have company…

Some can be a bit vain…

It is usually safe to let them out of the cage during the day…

…unless they become aggressive…

…but wise to put them back in their box at night (unless you have other plans for them)…

 

Weight and See…

July 1st 2018

…as in: Lift the Weight and See the Results…

Awful pun… excellent images! Starting in this fascinating Russian open-air gym:

Three more featuring Egor, the boy on the right…

(Hmmm… we’ve seen better venues, but the effort is fine!)

Spotting for a mate…

Pull on the cables – same difference!

Celebrating the Amazing Weather

…in Western Europe.

Here on the Algarve, things are pretty normal with sun and temperatures nudging 28-30C most days. In Ireland and UK, however, such temperatures are NOT normal, but near our place in Wales yesterday it was 33C!! There are disadvantages: we hear that the water supply at our place has all but dried up and the current visitors are rationing showers and the use of the loo. Heigh Ho!

We celebrate good weather now with our first set of featured fit lads today, and I’ll follow that up with 20 more pictures of gymnasts enjoying their thing…

Random Gymnasts

We do SOOOO love this sport…

June 29th 2018

A locker-room interlude…

(1) Shall I?

(2) Yeah, why not…?

(That’s Nile Wilson (UK) with diver Tom Daley, from a YouTube video where they try out each other’s sport)

And, finally for today, never forget the literal translation of “Gymnastics”… “The Naked Art”…

 

On Display

June 27th 2018

A double bill of physique posts today: first, 20 guys rightly proud of what they have built, and then twenty more showing the back view (much less seen on the net).

(Not the tidiest workout zone we’ve seen!)

This next lad has some way to go in developing his muscles, but he’s so obviously proud of himself that I couldn’t leave him out…

…and now, the rear views…

Putting Ones Back Into It!

June 27th 2018

All those guys who take pride in their bodies and post selfies on the internet… how often do they present their back development? Hardly ever! So this series of images focuses (as ever!) on fit guys and, in this case, the work they have put in at the gym into developing their backs. I am grateful to a follower in Idaho (‘Tall Bob’) for sending me some of these.

(That’s acrobat Jastin Monteiro, as featured in the recent ‘Showtime’ post, below)

(Don’t ask me what is blotted out under those two white rectangles – I have no idea!)

Wrestling Selection for June

June 24th 2018

Some of the guys in this group of pix are rather older than I usually post… but their wrestling is fine! And we rather like some of the holds… especially perhaps this first one!

Pitting your strength, skill and cunning against the other guy… muscle against muscle, skin against sweaty skin… possibly the ultimate male experience?

Three great leg scissors…

Showtime!

June 24th 2018

…assorted acrobats (etc) performing and training!

That’s Jastin Monteiro, a Spanish arm balancer. Here’s a couple more of him:

Now Jack Atherton (right) and Sam Sturt at Butlin’s a few years ago. A useful ‘strength’ move. Jack is with Cirque in the USA now.

Alexander Goloborodko is an astounding contortionist…

No idea who most of the rest are…

(Who needs clothes when there’s no audience?)

(One presumes he was training without an audience as well!)

Teeterboard next: you can get quite a height!

Twenty-Twenty Visions

June 20th 2018

Twenty images of guys who are clearly enjoying the results they achieved through their fitness training.

Doing The Right Thing

June 17th 2018

Lads working out to improve how they look and how they feel about themselves. Win-win situation!

No need to be over-dressed if you’re doing your own thing in your own space…

…nor, for that matter, in someone else’s space…

Ah, yes… the open air…

Now let’s continue the outdoor theme… well-built boys in the sun and enjoying themselves in the great outdoors…

Sunny Boys

June 17th 2018

Nice and chunky, perfectly proportioned! Here’s another:

 

 

Hands Down, Feet Up… Any Which Way!

June 14th 2018

Handstands, planche, whatever, wherever. Fun, fun, fun…

Anyone for table tennis?

(THE BOOKS CONTAIN HANDSTANDS (!!) AND LOTS MORE FITNESS AND ACROBATIC TALES, PLUS ADVENTURE OF VARIOUS KINDS… YOU MAY LIKE TO GIVE THEM A TRY. CLICK ON THE COVERS FOR MORE INFORMATION: BUYING BOOKS SUPPORTS THIS BLOG!)

Try just one arm now: a bit of a bendy ballet boy here…

Time to cool off??

Another tree stump…

Planche style…

…and with a flexible friend…

(THIS FOURTH BOOK IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT – A LONELY GAY NATIVE AMERICAN BOY CAST OUT OF HIS COMMUNITY FOR BEING WHAT HE IS – IN SEARCH OF LOVE – OR SOMETHING – )

Clothes-free can feel real good in the right environment…

And finally (avert your eyes now if easily offended… and he’s on his arms rather than his hands, but so what…)

Fit Lads Share The Fun!

June 11th 2018

Two or more guys sharing their fitness/fun experiences!
