Vladimir Putin's summer vacation is infinitely more badass than yours.

While on a getaway in the Russian resort town of Sochi, Russia's perennial president and government-approved definition of "manliness" took his prime minister on the perfect man date: an afternoon of lifting weights and grilling up BBQ finished off with an elegant (but still totally manly) tea session.

The outing began, as so many of Putin's man dates do, with a purposeful stroll through lush greenery.

Putin, fresh off an underwater jaunt in a submarine for sport and/or PR, dressed to impress with sweats, a presidential plain white T-shirt, gloves (he has sensitive hands, ok?) and his patented Grumpy Cat scowl.

Medvedev imitated the look, but missed the memo about the gloves; instead he wore a bulky stopwatch. Bold choice, Medvedev.

Once inside the fitness facility, Putin offered his protege a master's class in how to workout like a Russian leader. Step 1: Strap yourself in to the manliest machine you can find. Step 2: Wait for photograph to be taken. Step 3: Repeat. Bonus points for never breaking a sweat.

After successfully finishing their sham workout, Uncle Medvedev smiled and tried to cook up some unidentified meats on a BBQ called "BBQ" while Putin tried to grill them with his eyes.

Having satisfied their daily manliness quota, the pair shed their scowls and smiled while clinking gold-rimmed tea cups to celebrate another perfect man date.

Perhaps Medvedev will take the many lessons he learned on this memorable day and use them to find some measure of Putin's success in hunting, hockey, horseback riding, deep sea submersions and race-car driving.
