See Paul Ryan's incredible workout photoshoot

Time magazine has a keen sense of timing. Paul Ryan posed for a fairly ridiculous series of workout-centric photos way back in December, when Ryan was a runner-up for Time's Person of the Year. Ryan, whose father and grandfather died of heart attacks, is a famous gym rat and a devotee of the P90X training system — so this probably made sense at the time. The magazine, though, decided to release some of the images today, just coincidentally (we're sure) the day of the vice presidential debate. If reaction has been mixed (New York magazine: "Is this any less silly than Dukakis in the tank?") one winner is Ryan's bicep, which landed its own Twitter account. [Source]
