Every day here at Men's Health, we try to bring you the best stories--inspiring events, hot topics, studies that could change your life, people that are rethinking the world we live in, and, of course, new ways to drop weight, add muscle, and look good doing it.
This year, 2013 has given us a lot to write about.
We investigated the decriminalization of marijuana and the FDA policy on gay men donating blood. We studied the fascination with cavemen and the Paleo Diet, looked into how a playoff beard could be good for your health, and even told you about 5.57 inches: the average penis length. We questioned the idea that the genes you're born with could destine you for fatness, explained body-weight exercises you're doing wrong, and created the 10-Minute Torchers DVD series that stresses it's working out smarter--not longer--that matters.
You clicked, read, watched, and shared these stories over and over. (Thank you for that, by the way.) But some of them rose to the top of the charts. So, because it's the end of the year--and roundups are in order--here are the most popular stories on menshealth.com in 2013, sorted by category. You know where to find us in 2014. And if you want to see more of something, drop us a lin e. We'd love to hear from you mhletters@rodale.com
