NFL Superstar J.J. Watt Is Shirtless & Ripped for 'Men's Health'!

Houston Texans NFL player J.J. Watt shows off his unreal shirtless torso on the cover of Men’s Health magazine’s October 2015 issue, on newsstands now!

Here’s what the 26-year-old legend, who is joined for the shirtless spread by fellow football stars DeMarco Murray, Byron Jones, and Julian Edelman, had to share with the mag:

On the small steps to his success: “My whole life has been a series of small goals to accomplish even bigger ones. Everybody sees the big checkpoints. But my life has been a series of small checkpoints. I wanted to be a starter on varsity. And then I wanted to be all-conference. And then I wanted to be all-state. It was never, when I was 15, ‘Okay, I want to play in the NFL and be the best.’ So I was defensive player of the year once. I wanted it again. I got it.

On enjoying things in life: “One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on, this year specifically, is trying to enjoy life more. In the past I unnecessarily blocked myself out of a lot of things. I just focused completely on training.”

On wanting a relationship: “I really want somebody to share all this with. It’s just very difficult. I want to be the best at everything, no matter what I do. I want to be the best football player. If I’m a husband, I want to be the best husband. If I’m a father, I want to be the best father.”
