It's no secret that J.J. Watt spends many, many hours in the gym.

The results from that dedication are on full display on the cover of the new issue of "Men's Health" magazine.

The Texans defensive end went shirtless for the shot and then tried to convince us, via Twitter, that he had to try really hard to make his abs look good.

Somehow, we're not buying it.

I'm not going to lie, I am flexing my abs as hard as a 290-pound man possibly can in this new @MensHealthMag cover. pic.twitter.com/UWsdk9ZNyW
