Paul Ryan pumps iron in Time magazine

BOSTON (WHDH) -- How's this for debate prep? Time Magazine just released these photos of Paul Ryan pumping 50-pound dumbbells.

Ryan is a former personal trainer.

These photos were snapped long before Mitt Romney tapped him as his running mate.

And yes...Ryan’s biceps now have their own twitter name -- @paulryansbiceps (www.twitter.com/paulryansbiceps).
