From the outside, MotoGP looks like pure speed. Bikes ripping past 200 mph, riders leaning into angles that don’t feel survivable, everything happening faster than the eye can process. It’s easy to assume that’s the job–just hold on, go faster than everyone else, and figure it out as you go. But when you talk to Jorge Martín, the illusion falls apart pretty quickly. “Controlling a bike is not that difficult,” Martín says. “Maybe handling the pressure is one of the toughest.” Ahead of this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez, Spain, the pressure Martin faces won’t be visible on race day. Not in the highlights, not in the slow-motion replays. The real work isn’t just managing speed—it’s managing everything that comes with it. The pressure of other rides, the unpredictability of conditions, the constant stream of decisions that have to be made in real time while your heart rate is pushing its limit. “The mental side is even more difficult,” he explains. “To manage the pressure, the...

You already train hard. But the gym you’re training at was probably built for heavy lifts, maybe some functional space, and mostly for getting as many people through the door as possible. Fine for short-term goals, but not designed for what you should be after in the long term. Premium fitness facilities are changing that calculus, along with data showing increased consumer demand. A 2025 survey found that 60% of Americans cite longevity and healthy aging as one of their top fitness motivator. And while muscle is a big part of that healthy aging equation, an integrative recovery protocol is not one to take lightly for optimal health outcomes. “Building and maintaining lean muscle mass is one of the most significant things a person can do for long-term health, with downstream effects on bone density, injury prevention, metabolic function, and quality of life well into older age,” Brian Mazza, VP at Life Time , told Muscle & Fitness, adding that “people are starting to understand...

For years, comedian Jeff Dye built his career on sharp wit, observational humor, and an infectious stage presence. But behind the laughs, the funnyman was battling a quieter struggle. It was one that many individuals, especially those in entertainment, can deeply relate to: relying on alcohol as a shortcut to personal connections. Now more than two years sober, Dye is candid about how stepping away from drinking has reshaped his relationships, creativity, and perhaps most importantly, his health. In a comedy culture in which late nights and cocktails are an everyday part of the job, Dye’s newfound journey toward sobriety has become a refreshingly deep perspective on how he presently connects in life, substance-free. “Since I’ve stopped drinking, I’m bouncing out of bed compared to the way I used to,” he says. “I’m not chemically imbalanced as far as being blackout drunk all the time. It’s been really easy to stay sober because I just feel so much better. It’s like a fountain of yout...

Craig Kirby had trials for some top soccer clubs in his teens and served his country in the British Army as an adult, but while he’s now approaching 50-years-of-age, the popular Instagrammer and Personal Trainer has no intentions of slowing down. Whether he’s working out in the gym or demonstrating his soccer skills with fun challenges, Kirby is all about longevity through activity, as he tells M&F. How to Stay Fit Over 50: Craig Kirby’s Weekly Training Routine Turning half-a-century in April, Craig Kirby still plays soccer in the Lancashire Amateur Premier Division for Wardle Football Club, and while he says it might be last full season, the avid athlete has no desire to hang up his boots. In fact, he was recently approached by the official England Over 50s football team, so staying in shape is a must. “I train in the gym at least six times a week,” he reveals. “I also play two football training sessions in the week and play eleven-a-side open age football on Saturdays, and vete...

Ask almost anyone how to stay young, and they’ll rattle off skincare products, fad diets, or the latest “longevity pill.” What few realize, yet what science now makes unmistakably clear, is that the most powerful anti-aging intervention doesn’t come in a bottle or capsule at all. It comes from a barbell. A major epidemiological study published in JAMA Network Open that tracked more than 115,000 adults over age 65 for nearly eight years found that those who did strength training at least twice weekly had up to 30 % lower risk of dying during the follow-up period compared with those who didn’t, even when aerobic exercise and other health behaviors were accounted for. This survival benefit was consistent independent of how much walking or cycling participants reported doing. That’s not longevity marketing copy—that’s real-world science. Svitlana/Adobe Stock Muscle: The Lifespan Predictor We’ve Ignored Muscle isn’t vanity. It is biology. Multiple longitudinal cohort studies have fou...

Episode 281 of The Menace Podcast was a heated affair, as host Dennis “The Menace” James invited bodybuilding legend Melvin Anthony to continue an escalating debate with Milos Sarcev, concerning the polarizing detail of dancing on stage. Milos Sarcev, who is a former Mr. Universe, has long criticized dancing as being an unwelcome distraction to presenting the best possible physique, and in a recent Instagram post to promote Episode 280, he and Anthony had an exchange of words in the comment section, after Dennis James chose Melvin Anthony as the guy he felt most embodied competitive bodybuilding. Of course, “Marvelous” Melvin Anthony is one of the most famous examples of a bodybuilder that liked to dance across the stage, leading the man they call “The Mind” to write ; “You know I love you…and think (the) world of you…but you still thought about routine and entertainment much more than showing strengths of your physique.” View this post on Instagram ...
