John Cena wrestled in Madison Square Garden this week for the final time as his retirement tour nears its emotional climax, but while you won’t be able to see Cena compete after Dec. 14, the WWE icon recently shared the origins of his popular hand gesture and “You Can’t See Me” taunt on ESPN’s First Take. Just never call it a catchphrase! While Cena, who is the current Intercontinental Champion, has shared this legendary tale before, his explanation on Nov. 17, 2025, the same day as his last competitive WWE Monday Night Raw , seemed all the more poignant because the grappler-tuned-movie-star was about to fight for the last time in “The Garden.” John Cena Explains the Origins of ‘You Can’t See Me’ “ Where did this come from? ” asked ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky while replicating the famous hand gesture that leads to the popular verbiage. Apparently, the iconic sequence was more by “happy accident” than design explained the WWE great. When Cena was making his studio album “You Can’t See Me” b...

As a four-time Mr Olympia winner, Jay Cutler has built his chest with countless cables and pec-deck reps, but in the interests of switching things up, the bodybuilding legend says that standing dumbbell flys are worth a serious look, demonstrating the move to his almost 6 million loyal Instagram fans. Here’s what you need to know: View this post on Instagram Why Try the Standing Crossbody Dumbbell Fly? The standing crossbody dumbbell fly targets both the chest and shoulders but also recruits the whole body in order to balance the weight. Primarily, you’ll pump up the pectoralis muscles, along with the anterior (front) delts, rhomboids, and lats. You’ll also tax the biceps and triceps as you move the dumbbell. “Now, we used a lot of variations back in the day with cables, there’s a lot of machines that imitate the fly movement,” explained Cutler. “With dumbbells there’s a little more stabilization but ideally you can hit really good fibers, es...

With caffeine’s stimulating properties known to increase our heart rate, doctors have long told those with the common heart rhythm disorder AFib to cut out their coffee intake, but a surprising new study is raising a cup to the potential benefits of a daily cup of Joe. The study, produced in tandem by UC San Francisco and the University of Adelaide showed that the previous advice of staying away from caffeine may have been incorrect, because rather than making the condition worse, AFib (Atrial Fibrillation) sufferers received benefits from the popular brown beverage. The condition itself is the most common type of arrhythmia, and can cause the heart to beat to fast, slowly, or in an irregular manner. It is estimated that more than 12 million people in the U.S. live with AFib, causing those individuals to take care of their diet and nutrition in order to stay healthy. How Was the Study Carried Out? Researchers designed what they called the “DECAF” study, short for “Does Eliminating ...

The 2025 Belle of the Bar powerlifting meet is set to take place in Kenilworth, NJ, on Sunday, November 16. This Powerlifitng United sanctioned event stands out from others on the powerlifting calendar because it’s an all-woman’s meet. Meet promoter Chrissy Castellano takes a lot of pride in this event because it showcases the evolution and inclusiveness of the sport. Castellano stated, “An all-women’s powerlifting meet is a mark of progress in the sport and a reminder that every bar lifted carries the weight of those who paved the way. It reflects how far powerlifting has come, from the fringe to the mainstream, and how the platform belongs to all who step on it.” One of the competitors that will be making her return to powerlifting at the Belle of the Bar will also mark IFBB Pro League Wellness athlete Maddy Forberg . Forberg wasn’t aware of the history behind the meet, but she appreciates the significance that it holds and looks forward to being a part of it. “The women’s elemen...

Many people that are the first to do something significant in history are rarely taken seriously when they begin their pursuit. It’s only after the feat is accomplished and they’re proven to be historically correct that they get their just due. From a very early age, Nicole Malachowski knew what she wanted to do when she grew up; she wanted to be an Air Force pilot. There was only one detail that stood in her way of making that dream a reality. “Back then it was against the law for women to be fighter pilots.” Nicole Malachowski Her Road To Making History Malachowski was born in California, and she was not bashful about her ambitions during childhood. When she told people about her goals, they were met with general positivity, but she acknowledged they may have had other thoughts in the back of their minds. “Nobody batted an eye, but they were probably thinking ‘sure, little girl. You’re going to be a fighter pilot someday,” she said. “As I was growing up, they realized I was m...

Andrew Jacked is the man of the moment having placed a career-high third in the 2025 Mr Olympia competition and dominating the stage during the recent Romania Muscle Fest Pro event . And no one is more impressed with his physique than Milos Sarcev, who used his time on episode 259 of The Menace Podcast to make a very bold claim: Does Andrew Jacked have the best front last spread in the history of bodybuilding? “Andrew’s (front) lat spread is the best lat spread in the history of bodybuilding,” Milos Sarcev told Dennis James and Chris Cormier on TMP. “Heh, let me tilt my heady now,” joked The Menace as Cormier laughed on. “Hold on, hold, on,” responded Sarcev, explaining that in a text conversation with coach Chris Aceto he found out that another coach and regular guest Jose Raymond agreed with his observation.

Peak performance doesn’t necessarily set you up for longevity. That line from Dr. Mark Hyman stopped me in my tracks. It’s a truth few in health, fitness, and biohacking like to admit. The same intensity that drives elite performance can, over time, run the systems that sustain it to the ground. “High performers, including professional athletes, often appear metabolically fit but operate under chronic sympathetic dominance, running their bodies in constant fight-or-flight mode,” said Dr. Hyman. Functional medicine physician and co-founder and chief medical officer of Function Health told Muscle & Fitness that “this cognitive and physical overload drives mitochondrial fatigue, increases oxidative stress, and elevates cortisol, fueling inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and slower tissue repair.” Many of those changes, including mitochondrial decline and inflammation are among the 12 hallmarks of aging. The paradox of being fit yet physiologically depleted is one Dr. Hyman sees o...

The Running Man returns to the big screen this month after Paramount Pictures picked up the option to remake the 1987 action movie classic, but while the main character ‘Ben Richards’ will be played by Glen Powell, Arnold can still be seen by the eagle-eyed, as he makes a cool cameo in the flick. But is the new movie any good, and why did they remake it? “This is an action movie that is like no other,” said the movie’s new star, during The Running Man ’s New York City movie premiere. “In the fact that, we’ve seen visceral, intense action movies, that’s one thing, but you have this Edgar Wright lens on all of it, that makes every single sequence, not only intense but also electrifyingly fun.” Indeed the 2025 remake is directed by Wright, the English director known for cult classics like Shaun of the Dead and Last Night in Soho. “Along this journey, you’re met with all these iconic actors that all just swing hard and kill it, and it just makes this movie like no other. It’s the most...
