Amazingly Putin managed to resist the urge to rip off his t-shirt, preferring to complete his whole workout without revealing his torso
Daily Mail: Putin launches a new arms race: Action man Vlad's latest photo stunt shows him and Russian PM Medvedev pumping iron in the gym (... but this time he keeps his shirt ON)
* Putin and his prime minister Dmitry Medvedev were busy working out in a gym in Bocharov Ruchei, Sochi
* Vladimir Putin, 62, demonstrated his muscular arms but managed to keep his shirt on for his whole workout
* The Russian President has previously been seen playing ice hockey and recently pledged to start yoga
From horse riding to hunting, Vladimir Putin has long portrayed himself as Russia's action-man president and this morning was no different with the Russian president being pictured enthusiastically working out with prime minister Dmitry Medvedev in his gym in Sochi.
Amazingly, Putin managed to resist the urge to rip off his t-shirt, preferring to complete his whole workout without revealing his famous torso.
After struggling to keep up with Putin, Medvedev joined the President for a relaxing cup of tea and breakfast at his residence in Bocharov Ruchei.
WNU Editor: I am rolling my eyes right now. Everything about this is choreographed .... but this PR does work in Russia. On a side note .... nice gym.

I'm not sure this PR works in Russia. The people who love Putin here overwhelmingly love him for other reasons, I suspect, even if they consider this a bonus. I think it's more effective or at least more eyecatching in the West.
