Mamadou Sakho, he’s a bit of a character that one. The Reds midfielder is known for his tough tackling and combative style on the pitch, but it seems as though he’s a bit of a joker away from it. Brendan Rodgers’ men are out on a pre-season tour of Asia and Australia and beat Thai All-Stars, […]

Training your back is a cornerstone of any strength and conditioning programme. But if you’re training for aesthetics, performing the same old movements can go pretty stale and soon your muscles will adapt to what you’re throwing at them. You can mix it up and add variations…or you can try something completely different to really […]

Conor McGregor might be interim UFC featherweight champion, but when it comes to verbal sparring he’s a true super heavyweight. Every time The Notorious speaks, classic quotes just gush out of his mouth. He’s the undisputed motormouth king of the UFC…and could have possibly given the great Muhammad Ali a run for his money in trash […]

If you’re hovering precariously over an icy cold dunk tank, the last person you want taking a pop at you is Carli Lloyd. As the captain of the World Cup-winning US Women’s football team, she’s a bloody good shot. If you need proof, here’s the screamer she scored in the final against Japan (she bagged […]

‘Mo’ money, mo’ problems’, is the famous hip hip line from the late, great Notorious B.I.G. Well in rapper 50 Cent’s case it seems more like ‘No money, no problems’. The former multi-millionaire artist, who has filed for bankruptcy in the US, might have run out of cash but he can still see the funny […]

Heath Ledger’s Joker was always going to be the toughest of acts to follow. His performance in Christopher Nolan’s Batman incarnation The Dark Knight was frighteningly good.

Why does Monday have to come after Sunday? You’ve had a nice old rest, maybe a cheat meal or two, chilled out, caught up on a TV series…then BANG, Monday’s up in your tired-ass grill.

If you’ve ever run a marathon you’ll know how bone-shatteringly tough it can be. Even just dragging your arse off the couch to train is a challenge in itself, nevermind actually running the thing.

Manchester United to raid Spain in spending spree People were asking questions when Manchester United weren’t straight out the blocks signing  every big name on the back pages. But with Memphis Depay and Bastian Schweinsteiger now at Old Trafford, United have stepped it up a gear with the Daily Star Sunday saying Valencia’s 27-year-old centre-back […]

There was no denying Eddie Hall the world deadlift record this year. We saw him pull a new record last year at the World Deadlift Championships…only to be disqualified for dropping the bar. But the Stoke-on-Trent strongman was not going to let it slip (pun intended) again in 2015. The monster man ripped the 463kg […]

What’s the best 18th birthday present you can imagine? You’ll probably conjure up images of a slick Ferrari or a weekend high-rolling in Las Vegas. But these aren’t a patch on Anthony Bifolchi’s birthday present. Not only did he get to go and see Foo Fighters playing on his 18th, but he got to play […]

Roberto who? Hoffenheim don’t seem to be missing star man Roberto Firmino much after he sealed a £29m move to Liverpool. It’s early days after the Brazilian’s exit, but the Bundesliga club might just have found an able replacement for the Brazilian attacking midfielder. Enter Steven Zuber. The young Swiss U21 international midfielder scored a […]

The handstand walk is one of CrossFit’s toughest skills. We saw Rich Froning boss it in the CrossFit Games 2013 final – and it caught Games Champion Sam Briggs out a year later at Regionals.

We thought Conor McGregor was supposed to be fighting Chad Mendes at UFC 189.

It looks like it started light-hearted with McGregor rubbing Faber’s head and calling him “little man”. But it turns nasty […]

This is seriously impressive stuff from US powerlifter Leroy Walker. If you don’t believe how hard it is, then try it down at the gym tonight. For starters Walker is hitting a 405lbs (183kg) bench press. Then add in the fact that he’s doing paused reps (where you stop at the bottom of the movement and […]
