Dorked by Dorff

Blade hottie Stephen Dorff is still sexy fine -- and way hotter than those Twilight twinks IMO.

BTW, in reference to today's title, did you know that the word "dork" is slang for guy parts? One time when I was a kid, I got in trouble for calling somebody a dork and became rather ignorantly indignant as to why, so it was explained to me. I never would have known otherwise, because nobody uses dork that way. They mean socially inept, or out of touch. Kind of like how people say "scumbag" to refer to a despicable person, when it's also a term that means "used condom." Words are fun!

You can see Dorff's dork in these half-hard screen shots from Shadowboxer.

Stephen sticks it in 36 today.

Not everyone likes to go to the gym, so Stephen is a good example of how to stay fit outside the confines of a fitness center.

How to look good naked: Stephen does circut training.

To perform this body circuit training workout at home, you'll need a set of Dumbells, a Dynaband (or other rubber tubing) and a jumprope.

Do 15 to 20 reps of each move with 30 seconds of jumping rope between exercises. Before you get started, warm up by either jogging in place or jumping rope for five minutes to get your heart rate up.



CHEST PRESS (also known as Bench Press)
Equipment: Dumbbells
Target area: the muscles of the chest (pecs), triceps and front of shoulders (anterior delts)
Lie on your back on a bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Bend your arms so that your elbows form right angles (90 degrees), palms facing outward, in the direction of your feet. "Press" (push) the dumbbells up toward the ceiling, bringing them slightly toward one another at the same time, so that the motion is actually a slight arc; when your arms are extended, the dumbbells should be just slightly less than shoulder width apart. Lower to the starting position, and repeat for reps.

JUMP ROPE 30 SECONDS

ROW (also known as Seated Row)
Equipment: Dynaband or other rubber tubing
Target area: the muscles of the back, specifically lats and rhomboids

Sit on the floor with your feet extended in front of you. Wrap the Dynaband around your feet and grab one end with each hand. Keep your lower back erect and bring your hands and arms from an extended position back into your body. At the completion of the movement, your hands should be just below your chest and your elbows just outside your ribs.

JUMP ROPE 30 SECONDS

SHOULDER PRESS (also known as Dumbbell Press, Seated Dumbbell Press)
Equipment: Dumbbells
Target area: the muscles of the shoulders (delts)

Stand with feet shoulder width apart. Bend your arms so that your elbows form right angles (90 degrees) and hold them at shoulder height. Press the dumbbells up toward the ceiling and slightly in toward each other until your arms are almost fully extended. Return to starting position.

JUMP ROPE 30 SECONDS

BICEP CURL
Equipment: Dumbbells
Target Area: the biceps (front of the upper arms)

Sit on a bench with your elbows at your sides and your palms up. Lower the dumbbell toward the floor, then lift it three quarters of the way to your shoulders. Return to start.

JUMP ROPE 30 SECONDS

LYING DUMBBELL TRICEP EXTENSION
Equipment: Dumbbells or a Barbell
Target Area: the triceps (backs of the arms)

Lying on your back on a bench, extend your arms straight up holding the dumbbells. Hinging at the elbow joint, bring the dumbbells on either side of your head towards your ears. Extend your arms up bringing the dumbbells towards the ceiling. Don't let your elbows wander out away from each other.

JUMP ROPE 30 SECONDS

LUNGES
Target Area: the muscles of the legs (quads, hamstrings) and the butt (glutes)
Extend one leg forward and bend it at the knee, making sure your knee doesn't extend beyond your foot. Drop the rear knee toward the floor and then straighten it. Alternate legs.

JUMP ROPE 30 SECONDS
CRUNCHES
Target Area: the muscles of the abs
Keep your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Interlace your fingers and cradle your head with your hands. Keep your elbows pointing out. Slowly crunch upward, making sure to keep your lower back flat against the floor. Return to starting position.

JUMP ROPE 30 SECONDS


Pop that ass!

HNT: Ghost Stories

I know it's only July, but the other day my roomie asked me all about Halloween. He's always trying to get me drag for some reason. I do make a pretty gurl, but still.

Though I have absolutely no idea what to do in October, Last year {pic below} I went as a crazy butcher. I'm working on it. To get me in the mood, I love a good ghost story.

And look! I'm wearing a skirt, kind of, thing. Fine, it's an apron. Aside from a pair of boots & booty shorts, that was my costume.

Bend Over, Taye Diggs

If you're not doing squats and/or lunges, you're not really doing a leg workout.

MEN'S HEALTH MYTH BUSTER: Do Squats Kill Your Knees?
Cotton swabs are dangerous when you push them too far into your ears. It's a matter of knowing what you're doing.

A recent study in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that "open-chain" exercises—those in which a single joint is activated, such as the leg extension—are potentially more dangerous than closed-chain moves—those that engage multiple joints, such as the squat and the leg press.

The study found that leg extensions activate your quadriceps muscles slightly independently of each other, and just a 5-millisecond difference in activation causes uneven compression between the patella (kneecap) and thighbone, says Anki Stensdotter, the lead study author.

"The knee joint is controlled by the quadriceps and the hamstrings. Balanced muscle activity keeps the patella in place and appears to be more easily attained in closed-chain exercises," says Stensdotter.

To squat safely, hold your back as upright as possible and lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor (or at least as far as you can go without discomfort in your knees).

Try front squats if you find yourself leaning forward. Although it's a more advanced move, the weight rests on the fronts of your shoulders, helping to keep your back upright.

Slabs & Abs

Damn...abs. Seeing this hot bitch makes me want to:

1-Lick said abs
2-Hit the gym harder than I ever have in my life
3-Eat only chicken and broccoli, brown rice & egg whites
4-Cry because I'd have to practically kill myself for that body
5-Masturbate using my tears
6-Workout again

Fill Up Mah Belleh!

If you're looking for some lunch nibbles that stick, Men's Health nutrition advisor Jonny Bowden, Ph.D, offers 5 foods to help keep you full for hours after you've eaten.

1. Almonds - Along with 6 grams of protein, a handful (1 ounce) of almonds contains almost 9 grams of healthy mono-unsaturated fat.

2. Oatmeal - You can thank the 4 grams of fiber in a 1 cup serving for this breakfast staple's stickability.

3. Salmon - A 3.5 ounce serving contains 22 grams of protein and is a top source of omega-3 fats.

4. Quinoa - {pronounced keen-wah; it's sort of like kuskus} Cooks up like any grain {boil water & simmer}, but this superfood contains the same type of muscle building protein found in eggs and meat. For 10 ways to prepare quinoa, go to MensHealth.com/quinoa.

5. Black Beans - All legumes provide a ton of nutrients, but black beans lead the pack with equal amounts of protein and fiber; 15 grams in a cup. They're a great addition to almost any salad.


Play Ball

"I'm a White Sox fan, my wife thinks I look cute in this jacket. So, why not?"
– President Barack Obama to reporters; explaining his wardrobe choice for throwing the first pitch at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

I know it's all kinds of wrong, but I'd let Obama play "pitcher" any-freaking-time. Hottest. President. Ever.

Channing Tatum Shirtless in GQ

If Channing Tatum plays his cards right, he'll Step Up to 30 next year {he turned 29 in April} bringing the heat!

For his latest GQ cover shoot, he got in shape by adhering to a strict meal plan: "Just chicken and broccoli and brown rice. Four times a day. And egg whites."

I like all those things, but I'm not sure I could handle ONLY eating those foods for a long period of time. Just a few months ago he was spotted running a little thick, so as you can see it worked. That, or he completely starved himself for 6 weeks. Not recommended!

Channing and longtime girlfriend Jenna Dewan got married this past weekend in Malibu, which by coincidence is where I met up on a nature trail with LA's nature gay team 'Take A Hike.' It was my first outing with an official hiking group ever, and my first real hike in years -- see pics on my facebook. It's a Better by 30 step: Try Something New

As I said, this GI Joe ho likes his cardio on the go -- but if you didn't know, he also handles cock like a pro!

Work, Bitch

Demi Moore is the second "real" bitch to be featured on BB30!

This hot ho is 46. FORTY. SIX. In a bikini. And she's so hot it's melting my eyes. I don't care if she's allegedly been sucked and tucked to the brink. She looks very natural; not all plasticated. If she's had cosmetic surgery, take note! This is how it's done, without looking "done."

Don't Stop Believin'



"Those that have abandoned their dreams will discourage yours."

It's always good to have a voice of reason, but I can become a defeatist. Instead of always telling myself I can't do something, and listening to those who do the same, I have decided to only seek the advice of others on the path.

I feel the opposite is true too...those who are following their dreams will encourage you to do great things.

Adrian Grenier: Making Me Wet

He may not be the hottest piece of muscled man meat in Hollywood, but Adrian Grenier is the boy next door you always secretely wanted to bang. Those eyes, that dark curly hair, that boyish smile, and...those eyes!

See more pics at popbytes

The secret to his success: Like many celebs, Adrian likes to jog topless for the paparazzi! It slims the waistline and embiggens the ego. Perfect.

As Healthy Hollywood points out, the actor is dedicated to a BETTER tomorrow in other ways, such as being an eco-advocate. “I just put in a garden," he says. "I was inspired. I’m growing zucchini, lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries and corn."

He's also trying to inspire change on the set of Entourage: "At one point, we wanted to use all bio-diesel generators on-set, but it’s just not viable as the technology isn’t up to par. So what we did was just replace one generator. It’s a slow process of transformation."

When it comes to going green, he's ready to face the challenge. "It’s a constant struggle," he adds. "It's about habits. We are habitual creatures and people don’t always want to change. They only want to do what they know.”

Adrian plants one in 33 today.

HNT: Sir! Yes Sir!

Sir! Yes Sir!

There's something about that military style, guns and ammo, all that shit -- it works me. I grew up in the mid-west, where one of the milestone birthday presents is a BB gun. Needless to say, even a squealing Nelly like myself can get behind the power of a gun. I had an air pellet handgun as a kid as well, which took BBs and these things called pellets that basically look like tiny little old timey metal cups. Unlike BBs, they're not solid but hollowed out in the middle -- collapsing upon itself at impact and usually sticking to the target {BBs can break the surface of the skin and lodge there}. Anyways, I can't believe I never put an eye out. We used to shoot the shit out of each other with those things. Yes, I also wanted a Barbie, but I probably would have just used her for target practice.

The camo hat was $5 at 7/11, where I stopped for a jug of low fat chocolate milk after my workout today. It got me thinking about all of the above. When I was a kid, I would have HAD to wear this hat while playing war games, because I actually believed that camouflage had the power to make you blend into your surroundings. I also thought every time you heard a song on the radio, the band was actually singing it. I was very literal.

After all is said and done, you can't really even see the hat anyway, so fuckets. HAPPY HNT!!!

Good Morning Milo!

I've been in lust with dreamy Milo Ventimiglia since back in the day -- yes I was a fan of Gilmore Girls. I'm not ashamed to admit that! He's still dreamy, though I don't watch Heroes. I like his cleaned up look & don't miss the bad boy leather jacket motif from his GG days one bit. The less, the better!

Milo once said something about his diet that really stuck: "You can be a vegetarian and still eat pizza every day."

That quote really resonates with me, as it touches on a key element in the philosophy behind BETTERby30. We love to make belive ourselves into thinking we're being healthy when we're not. You're not fooling anybody and only cheating yourself. Pizza is delicious, of course. I'm not saying you should stop eating pizza forever. That would be a crime! It's a treat, and I consider it as such.

"Right after I got back from shooting Rocky [in December 2005], I looked in the mirror and said, 'OK, I'm not a teenager anymore.' I still looked young but I didn't have a baby face. It was kind of a critical point, careerwise, where I needed to start going for the roles that were older. So I tried to get my physique to match and become more of a man," he told Mens Fitness.

At the time, the 5'9" actor barely tipped the scales at 137 pounds. So he headed for the gym and began performing a self-designed lifting routine four times a week. For cardio work, he ran and jumped rope four to five times a week. He also quit smoking and focused on improving his nutritional habits. Even as a lifelong vegetarian (no meat, no fish, no eggs), he discovered that eating healthy had to be- come a conscious decision. "You can be a vegetarian and still eat pizza every day," he says. "For the first time, I started to really pay attention to what I was putting into my body."

With his current Heroes sched, "It's either wake up early in the morning or go late after work. I also bring dumbbells to my trailer and see if I can't maintain there." And when he's tempted to blow off a session now and then, he calls to mind the example of a previous mentor. "When we were on Rocky, I saw the discipline that [Stallone, then 59] had. Physically, he put himself through hell to get into shape."

Milo K.O.'s 32 today.

Panty Raid

David Beckham is rather famous for mini man-panties, big buldge.

These shots from Ethan Says {more there} don't dissappoint.

Becks is also famous due to his gaming skills, not unlike playing PSP in the bathtub. Okay, not at all like that.

In addition to his sports training, he eats a low carbohydrate diet, drinks lots of water and stays away from sugar and diet drinks.
