We Love Catching Nick Lachey Poolside!!

It's been a while since we seen that "hot jock" body of Nick Lachey! Way too long - in our opinion! Anytime his brand of homegrown - All American muscle is on display - we take notice! The 34-year-old is keeping that torso nicely bulky - and he's pretty much a guy who was BORN to take his shirt off!

Lachey was caught poolside in Utah on Tuesday - catching some rays with girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo! The photog caught him in some unflattering facial expressions - but are you really looking at the face?? I know we're not! Pretty hard to take the eyes off the muscle chest, abs and biceps! Minnillo's definitely a lucky gal to get have all that athletic HOT at her disposal!

We've pointed out in the past how HOT this guy looks when he's soaking up some sun - HERE! So these brand new shots are a welcome addition! Click each for a larger version!

Don't be such a stranger - Nick! Keep this shameless shirtlessness coming!!

Enjoy!
