Aydian Dowling is in the running to be chosen as
Men's Health magazine's "Ultimate Guy."
If he wins this disctiinction, the trans fitness mode,
who famously recreated Adam Levine's nude photoshoot, could make history by gracing the cover of the world's largest men's magazine.
In celebration, Gay.net compiled stills from a
recent video he shot with The Register-Guard, an Oregon publication near Dowling's hometown of Eugene.
In the video, also seen below, Dowling undergoes his daily
workout of muscle training, lifting, and flexing his way to sexiness.
He also told The Register Guard his reason for entering the contest:
“I’m doing it to show that every person who identifies as a
male has the potential to be their version of the ultimate guy. And, I
think being on the cover of a magazine that is so mainstream, that is so
known as being stereotypical, or having a stigma attached to it, I feel
it kind of breaks that in a way, because you’re literally saying that
anybody who wants to put their heart into it and just go do it and be an
ultimate guy, which is a do-er, a go-getter, somebody who’s fearless,
somebody who just wants to live their life."
"I think it would just make a statement to every transgender person ever," he says.
So here it is, 20 photos and a video that prove Dowling is the ultimate guy.
