Olympic Swimmer Ryan Lochte: Shirtless for 'Men's Journal'!

Ryan Lochte shows off his flawless shirtless physique on the August 2012 cover of Men’s Journal, on newsstands July 13.

Here’s what the 27-year-old Olympic swimmer had to share with the mag:

On wearing his famous mouth grill: “I don’t show them off during the ceremony, anything like that, but it’s, like, my personality coming out there. That’s what the sport needs. If we want to make the sport bigger than it is now, we have to start showing our personalities.”

On swimming not dictating his existence: “Swimming doesn’t define who I am. I’m not going to give up anything for it. I’m still going to be exactly who I am and have fun with life. There’s a lot of swimmers out there who make swimming their life, but for me, it’s just a sport that I do.”

On the upcoming London Olympics: “I could get one medal or 20, and I’ll be happy.”
