Fully clad, totally remarkable

[tortolis]

The male muscle showcased on HGTV hasn?t gone unremarked here. But it?s easy to overlook the amazing Lytel Young, perhaps because it?s hard to get a really good look at his body. A successful designer of upscale interiors in the L.A. area, Young has hosted or guested on HGTV shows including ?Bang for your Buck? and ?Save My Bath.? He?s a handsome, articulate African American with amazing muscular development packed on a frame of whippet slimness. Of course, tee-shirts won?t cut it for an arbiter of taste, and he generally wears casual-elegant sportswear that covers him pretty completely for his on-camera appearances, but his muscularity is such that a long-sleeved shirt can?t conceal the size and pronounced curviness of his shoulders, arms and chest, or the way his torso tapers to a dramatically narrow waist. Not surprisingly, HGTV?s bio reports that Young began his career with an interest in acting and boxing, and imdb.com lists what I?d presume was a bit part in a 2001 film?but what a part: Man in Tub, in ?What They Wanted, What They Got.? He?s invisible on his design firm?s Web site, and in his (outdated) publicity shot for HGTV, he hides his arms behind his back. All of which would suggest he?s too serious about his design career to distract from it with muscular display.

I agree totally. He has some serious biceps and great build. I would hate to be on his show because I would be WAY too distracted!
