Contemplation on one's goals is perhaps the first step towards success
...
The next step I'd imagine would be execution (otherwise known as follow-through)... Like say were it my goal to eventually land on maybe a Men's Health cover (or other similarly oriented magazine of the fitness persuasion)... How would I go about achieving that goal?Well for starters looking great sans shirt would be a definite must... And... I'm thinking perhaps complementing said great looks with a few outstanding preliminary modeling shots couldn't really hurt
Especially when you happen to be as photogenically gifted as 28 year-old San Diego fitness enthusiast Matthew J... Oh, and that you also manage to be lucky enough to hook-up with an equally talented sculptor/photographer located right in your backyard...
Can you tell from these shots that photographer Dennis Covey has a flare for the artistic?... Just Beautiful...

So does Matthew have what it takes to land on the cover of Men's Health? Well, he's got the look, the style, the drive and the attitude down... Maybe with a little more luck and time we might eventually find out
