A STEP-BY-STEP guide to building a body like President Vladimir Putin's was available to readers of a Russian newspaper yesterday.

Official photographs of the 54-year-old leader holidaying in southern Siberia last week showed him fishing with his shirt off to display a well-honed torso.

“He has some great definition under that shirt,” said the Komsomolskaya Pravda tabloid, Russia's biggest circulation newspaper which specialises in admiring coverage of President Putin.

Under the headline: “Get a body like Putin's”, the daily published an exercise guide by a fitness instructor.

An accompanying diagram of President Putin's naked torso had arrows pointing to his major muscle groups.

Never mind looking like him, I want a large country to rule!

If you have that, they don’t care what you look like.

Love the graphic. Someone obviously has a bit too much time on their hands and decent 3D rendering software.

Not bad for 54. Reminds me of the movie the King and I.

Well, resort living is good for you — ski all day, take some judo lessons, eat five-star cuisine, and be on the receiving end of all the other pampering you can get at a resort and you’re bound to look good. Pooty’s a resort hound.

Vlad looks good for a 54 year old Russian male.
