WHEN GLEN POWELL heard there was going to be a Top Gun sequel, he wanted in. That's because once his father showed a ten-year-old Powell the original Top Gun-which became his favorite movie, starring the man who would become his favorite actor, Tom Cruise he was inspired to pursue acting. Powell started learning how to behave like a pilot months before his Maverick audition, heading to California's Edwards Air Force Base to live with aviators. His sights were set on the role of Rooster, the son of Maverick's gone-but-not-forgotten best friend, Goose, from the 1986 film.
After those months of prep, he tried out for Maverick with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Joseph Kosinski, and Cruise himself. "I felt like I really delivered, and when I didn't get it, I was absolutely heartbroken," says Powell. "I got the news on July 3, and on July 4, which is pretty much my favorite holiday-I'm a very patriotic dude from a very patriotic family-I was basically in the fetal position the entire day." Miles Teller landed the part.
Powell impressed the brain trust, however, and they did want him for another role, a mysterious character called Hangman. But Powell's heart was still set on Rooster, and he wasn't sure any other part in the movie was the right fit. It's probably a scenario you've been in: You want something badly, but for one reason or another it doesn't work out. Is it worth doing something different, or is it better to just move on?

6 A.M. With...Marcus Freeman - The head coach of Notre Dame football challenges himself by training daily and lifting heavy.
Marcus Freeman finishes his one-mile warmup run at the same place every morning: in front of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, in the middle of Notre Dame's campus in South Bend, Indiana.

He walks by the Golden Dome, pausing at the Sacred Heart of Jesus statue as a way to center myself and feel grateful for this life, before he hits ND's athletic complex for his leg-and-chest-day workout.
Back-Round Check! - Tap into next-level total-body strength and supercharge muscle gains by learning when and how) to round your back in the gym.
Lift with your legs, not with your back. It's a cue many trainers use anytime you bend down to lift something heavy. It makes sense, too, since conventional wisdom holds that rounding your back with heavy weight leads to injury. But if you look closely at a strongman like Tom Stoltman hoisting a 300-kilogram (661-pound) Atlas stone, you'll notice that his spine isn't ramrod straight at all. Instead, he's almost hunching forward, curling his entire spine around the stone. And if you scroll fitness social media long enough, you may come across an exercise called the Jefferson curl, which asks you to stand holding a light barbell, then lower the barbell while simultaneously rounding your back as much as possible.
