Here is Giancarlo Stanton and his muscles covered in paint

You'll have to buy the issue to see if Sports Illustrated painted a swimsuit on him, too.

Giancarlo Stanton hits baseballs a very long way, so you kind of assumed he had some muscles. Sports Illustrated did us the favor of showing just how much muscle by literally painting a Marlins' jersey onto his chest for the cover of this week's national issue.

On a side, non-bulging-muscle note: It's also good to see Stanton's face has healed well after it was smashed apart by a baseball last September.
