Life coaches and LinkedIn gurus love to tell their clients to radiate confidence. But one man appears to have gone way too far in ‘manifesting’ his dream job, having lied on his CV to get (and keep) a gig as a pilot.

This move has now come back to bite him, with the fraudster reportedly raising suspicions after pushing a button no real pilot would press.

The man, who is 49, was jailed last week after being found out for making fraudulent claims to get work (and retain) work with BA’s subsidiary BA CityFlyer and former Irish regional airline Stobart Air.

According to The Times, the man entered false details and altered entries in his flight logbook while he was working for a previous employer, to make it look like he was more experienced than he really was.

According to the Civil Aviation Authority, the man has now been sentenced to 12 months in prison at London’s Snaresbrook Crown Court, after admitting to various charges of fraud.

The man is said to have falsely said on his CV that he had held a private pilot’s license since 1998 as well as faking a training certificate (and, as mentioned, doctoring his hours).

British Airways insists that there was never any risk to its flights, airlive.net reports.

Anyone who trains regularly and sticks to a meal plan that works for their individual body is already on a solid path to building muscle and getting the rig they’ve always wanted. But, besides a vainglorious attitude, there could be a key tactic that’s separating you from the other people in the gym: lifting enough weight and training hard enough to properly stimulate the muscles in order to see them grow.

It might sound obvious, but it could be something many overlook and, instead of really pushing themselves – or perhaps choosing to stick to lighter weight so as to avoid injury, which is perfectly acceptable – they’re only going to make minimal gains instead of massive ones.

This advice was recently brought to the fore by fitness expert Paul Sklar, who, taking to TikTok, posted a video of himself performing a rather simple workout. Speaking over the top, however, Paul asks, “Are you really training hard enough to change your body? Building muscle requires stimulus.”

He goes on to talk through his workout, adding, “Grab the heaviest kettlebell or dumbbell you can, rep it 10 times and finish it off with 10 shoulder halos in each direction. Rest 90-seconds. Repeat 5 times.”

Building muscle does require stimulation. But, as Muscle and Strength adds (and in contrary to Paul’s workout suggestion) this doesn’t necessarily mean you need to be lifting as heavy a weight as you possibly can.

“If you’re training hard, there should be points where you’re pushing your threshold, and looking for PR’s in many forms other than weight lifted; that includes using better form, better tempo, more range of motion, or performing more repetitions,” Muscle and Strength states.

In other words: if you’re lifting a heavy weight, but it’s so heavy that it causes you to neglect your form, you’re possibly going to cause yourself an injury, and you’re not going to give the muscle being trained the greatest amount of stimulation possible.

We recently discussed a similar point to this, citing ‘The Quadfather’ Tom Platz as saying barbell back squats are the greatest leg exercise to kill your chicken legs for good. He added that performing squats properly is going to be far more beneficial than performing them haphazardly with incorrect form.

Paul Sklar himself has also previously opined on the use of lighter weights as being just as, if not more beneficial than lifting big, because doing so can allow you to hone in on the mind-muscle connection. This refers to you properly understanding what is happening to the muscle throughout the duration of the movement.

But, of course, once you’ve employed mind-muscle connection training and using the correct form to build strength, you will then need to start employing progressive overload to place greater strain on the muscle in order to see it grow. This means starting to introduce heavier weight, or to at least increase the number of repetitions or sets you perform.

The workout Paul provided in his TikTok video is a prime example of where you can safely introduce heavier weight to help build greater overall strength. Posting the same video to Instagram (without the voice over) Paul admits that “not everyone has a heavy, 203lbs/92kg kettlebell,” – which he happens to be able to lift without any trouble – “so, find the heaviest one (or dumbbell) you can and rip or rep 5 sets of 10.”

Paul uses his kettlebell to perform sumo deadlifts. To perform a sumo deadlift, spread your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, hinge at the hips, push your bum out and grab the kettlebell with both hands. Push through your heels to lift the kettlebell up until you’re in a standing position.

While he says you can use a dumbbell to perform this movement, if you can get your hands on a kettlebell, then you will find it easier to perform, mechanically speaking.

He follows the sumo deadlifts with shoulder halos using a plate weight, a great exercise for thoracic mobility and overall shoulder health. For this exercise, he uses a 45lb/20kg plate, but you should go as heavy as you can. To perform, hold the plate above your head, ensuring your body is in a stable position before performing the halo movement.

Using only your shoulders, move the plate weight around your head, being sure to keep it as close to your head as possible. Avoid moving your head or neck to make the movement easier, instead, keep them in a neutral position. Perform 10 halos in one direction before performing another 10 in the opposite direction.

Paul signs off with, “If the gains don’t appear immediately, wait longer.”

You may find you need to overcome some mental battles in order to push yourself and train hard in the gym, despite Paul’s workout suggestion. For this, we’d love to point you in the direction of the modern-day Mr Motivator, David Goggins, who recently documented how he overcame his toughest challenge yet (which we’d wager trumps your hesitance to lift an extra few kilos).

Get after it and make those gains.

Guys, the hard truth today is you will find yourself pretty much hung up to dry if you don’t arm yourself with some of the best condoms around.

Many men will find an excuse wherever possible not to wear one, but the truth is the condom has been the saving grace for just about every male having sex since the 1970s. They allow us to enjoy intercourse whilst reducing the risk of infections, viruses and unwanted pregnancies.

Face it men. There are haircuts and then there are ridiculous haircuts which women will crucify you for.

What may look good in the glossy magazines, indie films or even your fellow bikie gang member’s opinion isn’t exactly what women will find attractive. Remember, you’re here to impress, not make the next cover of Child Predator Weekly.

With that said, we’ve done a bit of research amongst the insightful femmes of the office and a professional to reveal exactly what the fairer sex doesn’t want in a man’s haircut.

The Walking Circumcision

Ferrari F1 driver Sebastian Vettel debuted his ‘bell-end’ haircut earlier this year to much outrage and confusion amongst fans and commentators. What exactly happened here? How do you even tell the barber this is the haircut you want? Nobody knows. He may not be a dick head on the race track anymore, but he certainly looked like one off the track.

The Fake Costanza

Pity the fool who makes fun of balding men by intentionally getting a haircut to fit in with them. The Fake Costanza is never okay and a slap in the face to those who never had a chance to begin with. Also, it looks ridiculous with stubble coming through. Thankfully this was just Alexander Skarsgard in character mode for a film.

My Little Pony On An Acid Trip

Ah, Lil Pump. Even your Gucci gang can’t save you from this steaming pile of hair that resembles something between a Burning Man chick’s minge and a My Little Pony on acid. FYI: neither is a good thing.

The ‘Do You Even Lift?’ Cut

One of the most prolific hairstyles of the 2015/16 season amongst seasoned gym junkies and self-proclaimed ‘lifters’ is this particular doozy. It’s not a particularly bad haircut but women are growing tired of how monotonous the trend has become amongst the legions of men who now look like Phil & Lil from Rugrats. Shaved sides, long on top with a left or right combover? Cut!

The Supreme Leader Cut

Regimented. Disciplined. Feared. The supreme leader haircut is reserved only for those with the will to punch on at any moment’s notice. The slick flat top and heavily chiselled sides with zero fade makes this cut look like a warlord crown of sorts. It’s so intimidating it will even keep women away.

The Platted Pony Tail

Pony tails are a big no-no according the the women of D’Marge. There’s no explanation for this other than it’s ugly and much worse if you decide to platt it like Sir Labeouf here.

The Luscious Locks

The Luscious Locks have slowly grown in popularity over the years with cool guys such as Jared Leto and Leo championing the man bun. That look slowly evolved into the let-it-down locks which you see here. Women say it’s not a bad haircut, they just don’t like a man who has more beautiful hair than they do.

The Over-Geller

The classic Over-Geller was born from the era of ’90s pop culture where mind-boggling hold was widely worshipped. These days women like to touch a man’s hair. The worst thing you can do? Fill it full of slick which can turn into gel flakes.

Classic Cornrows

This one’s self-explanatory. Unless you’re a successful rapper or Lil’ Bow Wow then odds are women will find this particular hairstyle on men a bit of a turn off. Yes, even you David Beckham.

The Trump Tower Of Terror

He may be the most powerful man in the world but President Trump’s hair certainly hasn’t won over any votes. The Trump is a coiffed calamity which blends various comb over styles into one. A man might not be bald, but this haircut will make you look like it.

The Military Square

The boxy military hair is just a no-no according to our expert. It’s one of the hardest to suit a man’s face and can make a man appear more intimidating. If you’re going to join the army, go the shaved military buzz cut instead.

The Subliminal Message From The Future

No man should be shaving subliminal symbols and messages in their hair – ever. The only protest you’ll be attending is the one against offensive hairstyles.

The All-In-One WTF

Zac Efron is usually at the forefront of men’s hairstyles but for a brief moment after filming Baywatch he went a bit too meta on the classic surfer hair. What results is a mish-mash of ‘WTF is going on here’. Keep the surfer style messy but uniform, guys.

The Classic Bowler

Two things come to mind when women see this haircut on men: 1] You’re too cheap to get a real haircut, 2] you still live with mum who gives you your haircut, and 3] you have an awesome Lego collection.

The Contained Oil Spill

No man should ever do the full polished hair look. Unless you’re Mafia. Or a badass like Steven Seagal. In which case, women will still hate it regardless.

The Coke Lines

Sorry guys, the ladies have spoken and say that shaving lines along your hair is no longer considered edgy. Yours sincerely, 2002.

The 90’s Nick Carter

As far as undercuts are concerned, this one came and went by the early 2000s. Championed by boy bands, this style is similar to the current gym hairstyle which will also come and go in due time. If you’re still rocking the 90’s Nick Carter though, you’ve got a bit of catching up to do. The women who found that attractive are now in their 40s.

The Modern Mullet

Modern or not, mullets should only be reserved for movies and dress up parties, says the women we surveyed. Being Hugh Jackman and having highlighted tips doesn’t change anything.

An Expert’s Opinion…

Naturally, being the diplomatic peanuts we are, we also hit up one of Sydney’s expert hair people, Renée Baltov of men’s barber shop Barberhood, to find out what actually makes a man’s haircut bad. She told us that ‘hate’ can be a strong word and it’s usually more a case of a hairstyle not suiting a man’s face or being outdated.

• The comb over
• The mullet
• Boxed military cut

No go forth and frolic with your follicles in peace and good taste.

The best duffel bags available today make packing a breeze when heading away for short trips. For men, particularly, a duffel bag is an essential travel accessory that comes in handy a lot more than you’d expect.

The great thing about the very best duffel bags is that they can act as an extension to your outfit, much more so than cabin luggage. They can be made from a range of materials, including suede, leather, nylon and even recycled polyesters.

Why do I need a duffel bag?

The main benefit of duffel bags, however, is their practicality. All your essentials are much easier to grab with open-top zippered access, such as passports, keys, phones… whatever you need to enjoy your recreational time or business trips! The handles also make them incredibly easy to carry, particularly when navigating busy airports and hotels in the centre of town.

What to look for in a duffel bag?

Size

One key consideration when you make a purchase is the size of the duffel. Duffel bags come in all sorts of sizes, and the size you choose will likely be determined by how long you intend to travel.

Think about what you take away with you regularly that will take up a fair bit of space. If you’re going to travel somewhere cold, you’re going to need a solid selection of sweaters, hoodies and jeans. These items can be bulky and will take up a fair amount of space, so a larger duffel bag is needed.

If you’re just going away for a weekend city break, then you can probably get away with a smaller duffel bag to pack in some shirts, t-shirts and a pair of jeans or chinos.

You will also need to factor in other travel essentials such as toiletries. Can you go without your face wash for a weekend? Will you be ok using the body wash provided by your hotel? If not, then you’ll need to factor in space for a toiletry bag.

Lastly, you think to think about footwear. Again, if it’s a weekend city break, a pair of sneakers and perhaps some Chelsea boots will do. If it’s an outdoor adventure you’re going on, then you may need to pack some hiking boots or walking shoes.

If you know you’re going to need a fair amount of clothing but aren’t sure if it will all fit in your duffel bag, then you should look into owning a set of packing cubes that will not only help organise your bag but, more often than not, will allow you to fit in more stuff than you thought possible.

A good duffel bag really is a must for the modern gent, whether you’re heading away on travel to interstate meetings or a stag weekend in Amsterdam. Below are the best men’s duffel bags that will elevate your luggage game, and may earn you that upgrade to first class.

Material

As we mentioned at the beginning, duffel bags can come in a range of materials and the one you choose will influence where it will be used best used. Leather and suede duffel bags, for example, won’t really like to get too dirty or beaten up – although, if your duffel bag is made from genuine leather, a few beatings will help it to patina naturally, giving it a unique look.
