"Blud!" I said "I vont to suck your blud."

From the sublime to the superfluous, Teta sportswear has just the look you need to strike the right pose.

Designed for the conspicuous-at-heart, this Polish gym wear collection stretches lycra to its limits and puts stilleto heels back where they belong—in the house of pain!

Get in touch with your inner animal and take fishnet out of the closet and into the iron dungeon, because, lets face it, when doesn’t a rubber cape come in handy?

It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it. Retired army sergeant Jay Johnson is the official trainer of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders—the fittest, most famous cheer squad in the world.

As everyone knows, the DCC are way more than eye candy, representing a benchmark not only for dancing and cheering, but for the sheer spectacle of their physical fitness— envied by other teams for their washboard abs, their stamina, and their technique.

Johnson knows his stuff. His army experiences have made him aware of what it takes to be functional fit, not just look good. Although you have to admit, the 6′2″ 44-year old looks pretty good.

In addition to their grueling training sessions, he’s got the girls on a strict in-season nutrition regimen based on a six-meal-a-day plan. That includes protein, flax seed oil, and lots of water. What’s more, in order to qualify for DCC front lines the girls must have a score of at least 280 out of 300 in the Army Physical Fitness Test (the PT test).

Who better to get them to this standard than Sergeant Jay Johnson (Msgt, USA (ret)). Johnson not only served 20 years as a combat infantry man, but also was a US army Boot Camp Drill Instructor for three years. These days in addition to having one of the Top 50 Jobs in the nations—according to the October, 2005 issue of Men’s Journal—he and his wife Lin run Jay Johnson’s Boot Camp out of several Dallas/Fort Worth locations.

Mr Johnson is a busy guy these days. When he’s not, ahem, drilling the cheerleaders he’s working the motivational talk circuit. Jay’s next stop is the Columbus, Ohio Arnold Sports festival.
Johnson has been featured in Muscle and Fitness magazine, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Wife Swap, and HBO’s Hard Knocks.
In addition to training the DCC, he and his wife, fellow soldier Lin run their Bootcamp Fitness Program on “military and biblical principles.”

Huh?

“Nobody gets in your face,” he said. “Everything is positive. At the end of every boot camp, we have a spiritual devotional, an inspirational vitamin.”

According to his bio, by the time Johnson left the service, his life was “wheels off” out of control. Faith got him back on track and he’s never looked back. The Bootcamp mission might have a spiritual side, but it boils down to basic common sense:
* Encourage personal growth by developing and empowering our participants
* Be Accountable for our every word and action
* Influence generations by the power of our vision and leading by example
* Treat each participant with dignity and respect

Mission, smission. What we want to know how do you get those cheerleader abs? The answer is a lot.

Johnson recommends warming up with a pyramid of push-ups and bicycles. Start with 20 push-ups, flip over to your back and, with your legs in the air, mimic the movement of cycling. Do it 20 times. Next, do 19 push-ups and 19 bicycles, then 18 of each, continuing the pattern until you’re down to 1.

And that’s just the warm-up. Plenty more on fab abs where that came from.

Go, Jay, Go!

For those who missed out on their 2007’s Simpsons Wall Calendar, never fear. Your dentist appointment is in safe hands with the girls from the annual Pumped up Down Under Calendar.

The promoters assure us they are presenting an Aussie surf lifestyle theme, although one can only imagine what a stiff surf would do to these teeny weeny bits of lycra.

Surfs Up!

Maybe that’s the idea.

Disappointingly, the Men for All Seasons Calendar could not be released this year, due to lack of participants.

Never mind, there’s always Ned Flanders.

Or iCal.

Last year down at the gym.

Jessica Booth gets ready for the Big Day.

Apart from weight-training, her hobbies are reading and travelling.

 

 

Her vital stats? 162 cm tall, 60kg in condition and 68kg in the off season. She’s won the Italian Torri Open Tournament twice.

You can see more of her in the gallery at her website.

And she’s available for guest posing unless she’s all tied up.

 

 

Leaving aside for the moment, a) where that puts Mrs. Chris Shugart or equivalent, and b) how previous interviewees might feel at being described as “duller than a two-dollar Tijuana pocketknife” — the bad news, according to Miss Eason, herself, is that “You will never see nude images of me.”

“Booooooo..” we say. “Booooooo…’ says Mr Shugart..

Ok, folks, the good news for fans of fitness model Jamie Eason, is that according to interviewer Chris Shugart, “with the body comes a brain – quite a refreshing experience.”

But hey, check out this interview with Miss Eason in which she discusses her training routine (lift to failure and don’t rest too long between sets), her diet (5-6 meals a day consisting of lean protein plus slow digesting carbs), and supplements (protein powder, multi-vitamins, BCAAS and glutamine, with a little help from those trusty prescription diuretics).

But never mind all that. This little confabs features a brace of never before seen pics, of the 5′2″ ex NFL cheerleader and pro card holder, who weighs in at 110-112 pounds in the off-season and between 98 and 102 in season, body fat 12-15% off and 7-0% in season and who does look cheeky in her black tank-top with nothing else on. At all.

And while we trust these images meet Ms Eason’s critieria of “leaving something to the imagination” we’re not sure what that is. Except her cerebral cortex.
