Fighters where a popular costume theme this year: A couple of celebrity costumes were submitted as well: But this has to be my absolute favorite costume: That’s right, he’s a centaur, complete with a full horse body! Now that is fun and creative. I imagine this costume is a bit awkward to get around in, but you have got to admire the dedication and the overall quality of the

 Summer Camp is a great time to experience the freedom of going shirtless. For one, simply because summer camps consists of mainly outdoor activities in the hottest time of the year, so shedding the shirt is simply more comfortable. But it is also part of the experience. It embodies the care-free nature of the camp experience, as well as the freedom and self-confidence we want young men to

As this wrestling team learned, hot yoga is not just a good excuse to peel off your shirt, but a great way to become more attuned to your body, to condition it and push yourself to new extremes. And after all, this is what it is all about. Developing confidence and getting to know your body. And there is perhaps no better way to accomplish this than through the challenging poses of yoga.

Apparently, this body painted Silver Surfer hit New York City this Halloween and drew some serious attention. Of course, we felt we needed to follow up and share this epic shirtless costume here as well.   Additionally, we found a behind the scenes on how the body paint was done, which was pretty awesome:

It’s that time of year again. As the weather warms up, it’s a perfect time to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors! Hiking and camping are fun activities, great exercise for the body, stimulation for the mind, and food for the soul. You can engage your body in running and climbing, engage your mind in studying the plants and wild life, and then take time to just drink in the beauty of nature.

For all of our readers in the UK, I want to encourage you to check out one of the awesome Spartan Race events in your area! There will be races across the UK, including South Wales, Manchester, and Scotland. These events are a great physical challenge, and a lot of fun! And of course, you are free to peel off the shirt and wear whatever you are comfortable with. From the FAQ, “What should I

Mud runs and obstacle races have recently gained a lot of popularity, and one of the great things about this sport is that it is already widely accepting of shirtless competitors. Competing shirtless is a lot more comfortable, it makes you feel more attuned to your own body, helps you push yourself harder, and it is a great confidence booster. These events are also a great full-body exercise and

Over time I have had a number of pictures submitted for the blog that haven’t really fit any particular topic I’ve written about (nor are they likely to), but they are somehow too awesome to let them fall by the wayside. So I’m doing a bit of fun post just to highlight some of the cool pictures I’ve received. Hats off to the guys in the pics, and have fun! Nice moves! Very cool. &

U.S. Grappling is conducting an informal, non-scientific survey on shirtless grappling. They want to know whether grapplers should be required to wear a shirt or rash guard, or if they should be allowed to compete shirtless. Submission grapplers have traditionally competed shirtless and most organizations allow an option to wear a shirt or rash guard or not, so requiring a shirt would be the

Wrestlers certainly seem to have a propensity for shirtlessness. It seems to come pretty naturally, at an early age you notice that guys who are just wrestling around for fun often pull off their shirts. Competitive wrestlers also seem to prefer to go shirtless. All over the country, high school wrestlers take shirtless team pictures:   They have shirtless

   Someone recently created a petition on change.org addressed to various governing bodies of the sport of wrestling to get shirtless wrestling uniforms accepted as an official alternative to the singlet. In a previous survey, most guys preferred a shirtless uniform alternative. If you are among them, sign the petition and let your voice be heard!

Here is a big shout out to Evan Dollard, aka “The Rocket” (You can find him on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube), for promoting shirtless freedom with his hashtag, #LessShirtMorePower!

Here’s another great activity that’s a good occasion for guys to go shirtless in the summer! Obviously, it’s pretty normal for guys to go shirtless at the pool, beach, lake, etc. And it’s also a great way to stay cool and have some fun. But what about when there are no bodies of cool water handy? Why not make your own Slip ’N Slide? All you really need is a water hose and a sheet of plastic and

A survey was recently conducted by someone from the Wrestling Uniform Options movement about proposed alternatives to the singlet. The results were shared with me and they were quite interesting. 50% of wrestlers said they would have been less hesitant to get into the sport if they had alternative uniform options available, and 27% of non-wrestlers said they would be more likely to participate.

While dance is often thought of as a feminine activity, the fact is that it can be great for guys, too. Dancing can be quite masculine and athletic and it actually presents another good opportunity for guys to go shirtless. Going shirtless in intense training can serve the same purposes as in any sport, it helps keep you cool and comfortable. But in performance, it can also serve to highlight the

I went to a Boy Scout camp where I shared a cabin with another boy. It was summer and I lived in the southeastern US, so it was very hot even over night. But I wasn't sure what to sleep in and was very nervous about the idea of getting undressed in front of another guy. The first night, I wore my clothes to bed. So did he. After a night or a few nights, I decided it was just too hot to go to bed

While slightly off topic for this blog, I wanted to address an issue that sometimes causes concern and insecurity for young men.

Maybe you've read this blog in the past and felt that the freedom to go shirtless and be comfortable with your own body would be greatly beneficial to your son or sons, as well as to any young man, but felt that social pressures have become increasingly restrictive among your child's peer group.

Spending time holding your baby skin-to-skin is a great way for fathers to bond with their babies. Skin-to-skin care has been shown to have a variety of benefits for babies, calming and stabilizing the infant. Ideally, as soon as a baby is born, it should be placed directly to it's mother's breast for care and feeding, but when this isn't possible because of cesarean delivery or medical
