Three brave and buff fitness gurus have taken it upon themselves to beat five flabby editors into shape. So let’s meet the men behind our muscle! And if that sounds wrong, we don’t want to be right!

Eric
Age: 24
Weight: 220 Lbs.
Height: 6’5”
Max Bench: 420 Lbs.
Motto: “Five more!”

“The strong sensitive one, he’s the giant bruiser with a teddy bear heart; likes squat thrusts, snuggling.”
—Mike Dawson, Senior Associate Editor

“He’s soft-spoken and gentle and I could live inside his calf muscle. His smile says, ‘You’re doing great!’ and ‘You’re a goddamn woman’ all at once.
—Dan Bova, Executive Editor

“The man doesn’t even eat pasta! He’s not human! He’s, like, some robo-trainer monster!”
—Jesse Brukman, Assistant Editor

Weight: 182 Lbs.
Height: 6’0”
Max Curl: 135 Lbs.
Motto: “C’mon, let’s go!”

“I was impressed and terrified at how nonplussed he was when Swanson yakked. This is a man accustomed to working people to the edge of death.”
—Dan Bova, Executive Editor

“Kam is Miyagi to my Daniel-san, Yoda to my Luke, Splinter to my Donatello. Kam, this protein-rich smoothie’s for you!”
—Patrick Carone, Senior Editor

“Kam was giving me max-bench press tips the other day. I dropped some primo gossip on Leighton Meester in exchange. His look of quiet disapproval shook me to my core.”
—Jesse Brukman, Assistant Editor

Weight: 160 Lbs.
Height: 5’8”
Max Deadlift: 550 Lbs.
Motto: “Let’s do this!”

“The practical joker of the group who’s always snapping towels in the locker room. Loves to laugh at you when your forehead veins pop while bench pressing.”
—Mike Dawson, Senior Associate Editor

“At the start, Ed had high hopes for yours truly; hopes which were dashed sometime during the second minute of my mid-workout barfathon. Sorry to let you down, Ed, but as long as the vomit’s flowin’ I’m gonna keep goin’.”
—David Swanson, Features Editor
