I subscribed to Men’s Fitness through Zinio.com (which offers digital magazines through your computer and iPad) after two droll-inducing covers featuring Rob Lowe, and Charlie Hunnam. Men’s Fitness fails spectacularly for the final issue this year. They’re featuring the king of the shirtless douches, The Situation, on December’s cover. As long as the guy doesn’t open his mouth, he’s passable if you don’t focus on his face. Is that too cruel? I refer you to the Glee girls’ defense of making fun of the boys’ bodies on last week’s episode. Turnabout is fair play, and we know this guy regularly refers to women as “grenades.” If he wasn’t so stuck up his own ass I would find him much more attractive.
The article primarily focuses on The Situation’s diet and exercise tips, including specific ab exercises and lifestyle recommendations. The most interesting part for me were his “8 Fit Rules,” which are actually rather sensible.
The Situations 8 Fit Rules
Eat every few hours. Aim for six small meals per day – three meals and three protein shakes.Drink tons of water.
Choose lean proteins, fruits and veggies whenever you can.
Get six to eight hours of sleep “Sleep is when your body grows and repairs itself”
Avoid simple carbs and junk calories, includnig condiments like mayo and jelly.
Approach fitness as a long term lifestyle, not an instant transformation. Be dedicated, patient, and work hard for it.
Make working out your No. 1 commitment, because it builds the confidence and discipline you need to succeed in every domain of your life.
Give yourself one “cheat day” per week when you can eat whatever you want and recover from your training.
[From Men's Fitness, December 2010]
It’s common sense and not groundbreaking, but it’s nice to hear semi-legitimate diet advice from a celebrity that doesn’t sound like starvation or a fad. Maybe that’s part of the reason this guy is so successful. That and the fact that he’s able to score loads of chicks despite his permanent douche face. They’re all so mesmerized by those abs.
These photos are courtesy of Men’s Fitness, where there are more in the print edition. They also have exercise guidelines and more tips from Mike. Someone has to be interested.

You’re right, Celebitchy – the doucheface is strong in this one. Lord, have mercy.

LOL Mike isn’t that bad. He can be a trouble maker yes. I don’t find him attractive but he is cool with me.

Please, please dont let this be some sort of a role model for american men. We dont need prototypes like this teaching men how to act or think any cheaper than they already do, for chrissake.
What a nightmare to find this on a cover.
but now I can see the flipside too– what abotu Paris and other lame figures on womens magazine– some men must be equally disappointed about it.

yuh, too late for us to complain about warped role-models, I think. Sad state when people do look up to this type of douche. No pretense whatsoever, probably swarming with disease…yum…

ugh, what douchenozzle face. why is he on the cover of anything? he has that classic american gym rat body where it is evident they only work on their upper body because it is easier for them to gain muscle there and ignore their lower half, resulting in chicken leg syndrome.

I dont like this guy AT ALL, but I understeand why he’s on the cover. The only thing a person could admire from this man is his body, Men’s fitness know that a lot of people are interested in his ‘fit rules’ and want to know how he got that body. So, yes… people will read it but not because they think of ‘THE SITUATION’ as a role model, oh no.

Wow, that is good, legit advice! I’m kind of surprised!

When’s this male butterface gonna put it away? Many men have much better bodies — and the faces to go with them — than this tool.

@ Eileen I agree, that is the best shot. Wonder what the others looked like?
On a side note, my sister and I were watching RHONJ, (which just started here in NZ) and she pointed out that Teresa husband looks like Mike. A sign of things to come for Mike?

I’m sorry & kind of hate myself for this, but he looks so absolutely goofy & is so over the top that I kind of love him now.

Yuck! I find him mega unattractive and I think his abs are weird, I don’t think his body is all that great. Maybe its because he’s short and everything is all scrunched looking. So fug.

I find him the most amusing of the JS dopes. But they really do have a heightened opinion of themselves. They believe that they only deserve the attention of supermodels whilst they are hardly oil paintings.

Gross. His douche head on somebody else’s body for the cover? It looks……off.

He’s kinda gross but those tips actually make a lot of sense.

I mean, the tips were ok, outdated, but ok. If you want to Shed Fat then it is very simple, just eat all natural, and avoid boxed or canned goods for the most part, but he has a great point on how exercise leads to confidence, and you can never shoot down the Importance of Confidence
