This is how it's done: No stranger to the showing off his manly strength, Putin demonstrates to his prime minister how to maximise results
(Europe) From horse riding to hunting, Vladimir Putin has long portrayed himself as Russia's action-man president and this morning was no different as he was pictured enthusiastically working out with prime minister Dmitry Medvedev in his gym in Sochi.
Amazingly, Putin managed to resist the urge to rip off his t-shirt, preferring to complete his whole workout without revealing his famous torso, reports Dailymail.
After struggling to keep up with Putin, Medvedev joined the President for a relaxing cup of tea and breakfast at his residence in Bocharov Ruchei.
Wearing a pair of powerlifting gloves, grey jogging bottoms and a plain t-shirt, Putin appeared to be well-prepared for an intense workout.

Striding into the gym with Medvedev, the Russian president seemed to be at ease, quickly showing off his strength with an easy arm workout on the cable crossover.
Pausing to reset his feet, Putin leans forward as he works on the cable crossover, slightly blowing his cheeks out as he starts to feel the strain to his arms and upper back.
After powering through a few more reps on various pieces of gym equipment, Putin gave a few words of wisdom to Medvedev, watching closely over his shoulder as he worked out.
Putin also allows enough time to work on his hamstrings, gently bouncing on a balance board whilst holding on to a nearby conditioning machine.
Whilst Putin is well known for his action-man personality, Medvedev is also no stranger to exercise either. He has previously been seen playing badminton and is a keen ice hockey and judo fan.
A few more lifts and the 62-year-old president called time on his workout before the two friends heading off for a quick barbecue. Always keen to take the lead, Putin quickly grabbed the tongs and demonstrated his culinary skills, turning the skewered meat over the flames.
The main chef intervened and gave the two men a bit of advice on achieving the perfect grill. With the meat finally ready, Putin and Medvedev sat outside at a table for a spot of breakfast.
Raising their china tea mugs, the president and prime minister made a toast before digging into a much deserved breakfast.
The Russian President Vladimir Putin was also pictured on Saturday sitting next to former boxer Natalia Ragozina as they attended an international combat sambo tournament in Sochi.

(Nigeria) The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been restrained by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations. The court further held that the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, which gives the commission the power to impose sanction, is in conflict with Section 6 of the Constitution that vested judicial power in the court of law. He said the court would not sit idle and watch a body imposing fine arbitrarily without recourse to the law. He said that the commission did not comply with the law when it sat as a complainant and at
