Birthday Babe: Christopher Meloni

Like a fine wine, this hot bitch just gets BETTER with age.

A quick Google search deliciously returns much more of Christopher Meloni in the shower. If you're clicky for the dickey, here's another hot Oz screen grab of Mr. Meloni in all his glory {both NSFW}

Clearly, this kind of hotness doesn't just happen. To stay muscular Christopher does "weights, running and kickboxing," but he admits he's had a little help in some areas. "The abs are courtesy of endless crunches. The ass is genetic." He adds that the key is "variety. Lift one day, yoga another, kick ass {martial arts} another, etc."

"Gym time is very much a meditation exercise for me," he says. I totally agree. My time at the gym is probably the only time I'm not thinking about fitting everything into my schedule, an errand that needs running, a column I need to write, or some other task list that needs completed. All that shit goes out the window. It's pretty much required. If you don't focus when you're working out you can seriously injure or embarrass yourself.

I know personally because this one time, I was checking out some guy a the gym and not really paying attention to my bench press. As I re-racked the weights, one end of the bar missed. This caused the bar to tilt, the weight at the end to slide off and instantly create a chain reaction, with the other end being pulled to the floor by the weight still on it, ultimately causing both weights to fly off and the bar to damn near flip out of my hand. Thankfully I'm pretty calm in these situations -- and have been a gym rat since I was a kid -- so I didn't pull anything or hurt myself. But I did feel pretty stupid. Never again. Lesson learned: only ogle between sets.
