Walking Jack is an underwear brand based in Greece. The underwear is designed in Greece and made in Portugal. The brand applies a modern take on classic men’s underwear. The Bluebird is available in the following styles: trunk, brief, and solid brief.
I am a fan of blue and the underwear looks great. I am interested in trying on a pair of the trunk style. (See another post with my personal review.)
Walking Jack had a photo shoot for its Bluebird Collection. The model was Roger Zacha, a physiotherapy student in the Netherlands. The photographer was Louis C. The photos were taken in Cyprus.
Walking Jack’s Bluebird Collection
Walking Jack’s Bluebird Collection offers an all-blue design, with a fabric composition of 95 percent cotton and 5 percent Elastane. Also, underwear in the Bluebird Collection offers a longer waistband and a lined pouch.
The underwear is suitable for the gym and daily wear, an indication that the underwear can be worn to work and school as well as to a workout (gym or at home).

Walking Jack delivers worldwide. I live in the United States. According to Walking Jack’s website, I would be in zone 4. The shipping fee would be 6.50 euros (registered post) for an expected delivery time of 10 to 14 business days or 20 euros for an expected delivery time of 2 to 4 business days.

Josh Riquelme, 25, is from upstate New York. He became a represented male model, with BMG Models, in 2019. (Instagram) In June 2022, Josh moved to San Diego, California. Josh currently is a content creator for his social media channels. He is a Gemini, with a birthday on May 28.
A YouTuber, Josh has begun to add more content to his channel (lifestyle and fitness tips). [Be sure to subscribe.]
Josh has had a number of photo shoots with several photographers. Josh worked with one photographer, Carlos “Trey” Salazar, on a job for Box Menswear and continued to work with him to add photos to his portfolio.
(In 2019, Josh worked with another model, Kyle Hynick, in New York and Texas (for Box Menswear). In 2022, Kyle, Josh, and Vince Aldiere had a photo shoot in Tulum, Mexico.)
Josh created a video on how to maintain a neatly trimmed beard. Josh also provided tips on how to avoid razor bumps. Given that more guys like having facial hair, his tips have been popular.
Carlos “Trey” Salazar is an Austin, Texas, based photographer. (I have a post on Trey on the blog.). Josh has worked to create images multiple times, at a photo shoot for Box Menswear (discussed below), and then other times when Josh went to Texas.
Josh showed his fresh, new haircut on his Instagram page (August 2020). The new haircut style is shorter than previous hair styles, with a fade on the sides.
Josh is a gaming PC enthusiast. He has some unboxing videos on YouTube.
Josh also streams on Twitch.
Mens Physique Competition
Mens Physique Competitor, 2016
Josh competed in a mens physique contest while a teenager. He covered his contest preparation on his YouTube account in 2016.
Josh prepared for a contest just after he graduated high school. He was 19 and a social media marketing coordinator. He started a video log to show his progress as he got into contest shape.
While doing the contest preparation, Josh also did a photoshoot with lifestyle shots.
Josh did a video with his bodybuilder friend, Adonis Grahovic.
Separately, during this period, there was a video of Josh trying on clothing from the Beyond Genetics brand.
Contest Preparation Macronutrients
Josh explained that his contest preparation macronutrients (aka macros) break down was–
Contest cut: 200 g protein, 250 g carbohydrates, and 55 g fat. For carbohydrates and protein, each gram is 4 calories and for fat, each gram is 9 calories. So the calories for Josh’s macros were 2295.
Refeed (for days to regain energy): 180 g protein, 390 carbohydrates, and 50 g fat. The calories for this was 2730.
Josh has a YouTube video showing his progression from the start of his contest preparation through his final contest shape.
He started contest preparation at about 165 pounds (74.8 kg) and competed at about 148 pounds (67.5 kg).
Josh ultimately earned his pro card at his contest. Josh states on his website that, in 2016, he became a pro in mens physique in the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation (WNBF).
After the YouTube videos covering this contest, there were no updates to the channel until mid-2019. Josh prepared a video explaining what had happened in an update video.
Josh discussed his observations about his journey through depression and after depression on an Instagram page.
Several of the newer videos were about Josh demonstrating the workouts he performs to develop and maintain his physique. Unlike other videos with muscular fitness models, Josh also shows his personality in the videos.
This helps the viewer see the person who is a fitness model as well as gaining workout inspiration. This is in line with the level of disclosure Josh showed in discussing his bout with depression.
From starting with gym training, to competing in mens physique and building his social media pages, especially Instagram and YouTube, and finally becoming a male model, Josh appears to be moving up in the fitness model industry. In addition, he appears to be a personable and friendly guy, that side comes through on his video logs.

Diego provides his background on his website. There is also a video that provides background information on Fit Media Channel on YouTube.
In August 2020, Diego posted a video answering questions from his subscribers, followers, and fans.
Diego returned to YouTube on April 10, 2020.
In November 2021, Diego had a podcast interview with Renars Latkovskis. The 2 and one-half hours interview covered topics from Diego’s background, his view on various topics, and his fitness career (as a coach and as a physique competitor).
Diego did a challenge-type workout for the “Workout until Failure” YouTube channel. The purpose of the YouTube channel is to show physique athletes challenging themselves with exercise in a heated room. The athletes on the channel are well-trained fitness models.
While the workouts would be challenging and exhausting to typical people, the featured athletes seem to be challenged but the viewer can tell that their bodies were hungry for the exercise and welcomed the challenge.
Diego did not disappoint in his video. Even with the challenging pandemic times during 2020, Diego maintained his pro-level muscular physique. Diego started with his morning cardio (featured on his Instagram) and then after that did a circuit style workout–three rounds of squats, lateral raises, and biceps curls, all with a set of dumbbells. Diego ended with planks for the abdominals.
Even with this hard workout, Diego seemed to be able to workout more.
According to the Greatest Physiques blog, Diego participated in Greco-Roman wrestling as a child. According to his website, he participated in other sports as well.
Sport has been with me since my childhood, especially thanks to my natural physical form, already in charge of sports. So, I had the opportunity to explore various sports: fencing, boxing, horseback,riding, hockey, skiing, athletics. Especially in the latter, I attracted the attention during the youth school championship of 100-meters without hurdles, where I recorded a time of 11:04 seconds!
The video below was filmed before Diego’s 2019 WBFF Pro competition in the Bahamas.

Diego and Pietro Boselli, Ph.D
I remember seeing Diego with fellow Italian model, Pietro Boselli, who was studying for a Ph.D. at University College, London, when one of his students posted a photo of him on social media. Diego and Pietro did a workout series for Fit Media Channel on YouTube in 2016.
Diego in Wire Magazine, February 2019
Diego provided an interview with Rafa Carvajal with Wire Magazine in February 2019. Asked by Rafa to use three words to describe himself, Diego responded: “curious, dreamer, and ambitious”.
According to the interview, Diego is a frequent traveler and enjoys playing the saxophone while at home in Italy or reading when he is traveling.
For underwear, Diego stated that he was once a boxers guy. Then he became a briefs guy to show off his leg muscles.
In the article, Diego wore a variety of briefs. I could make out the brand of one of them: Danny Miami. From his social media, Diego has worn briefs from Little Rok, too.
Diego is a muscle physique pro that takes care of his muscles and develops his brain with educational pursuits.
Be sure to follow Diego’s social media pages.
It was interesting to review his social media and physique work for this article. I hope there will be more. I will definitely update the blog post if I discover any new developments.
One model that I discovered through Instagram is Dominic (Dom) Calvani. Dom did a photo shoot with Photographer Jade Young (see photos below; photo feature at DNA Magazine).
Based on Dom’s Instagram page, Dom is an athlete, a model, an engineer, and a big daddy who is from Brazil. According to a 2018 blog post at All American Guys, Dom was 30 years old (birthdate April 15 (Aries)). At the time of this post in January 2020, Dom would be 31 or 32. Perhaps this is the reason for the “big daddy” reference on his Instagram bio.
I was interested to find out some more information, so I searched on Dom’s name in Google to see what search results I would get. I found a 2018 interview with Wire Magazine through Men and Underwear blog.
Dominic’s Interview with Wire Magazine
In an interview with Wire Magazine by Rafa Carvajal, Dom explained that he had an athletic background in mixed martial arts (MMA), specifically in Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Dom had to leave MMA due to suffering serious injuries.
Dom, when asked by Rafa Carvajal to describe himself in three words responded “eccentric, unconventional, and dominant.”
Dom also told Wire that his family has roots in Calabria, Italy. However, he grew up in Brazil and lives in the United States. For work, Dom is involved in software engineering, supply-chain management, and real estate investing. On the side, he poses for photo shoots and dances.
Rather than just a body to model products, male models have great background stories as people. Dom Calvani is one example of this. I found out about Dom through one of his modeling photoshoots.
Dom, with his photographers, creates stunning images. Dom also has a great life story. I wish him well in all parts of his life.
