“Nope, bodybuilder and fitness model Alexsander Freitas didn’t always look like this. In fact, just a few years ago, he was unrecognizable.”
Frankly, I prefer the way he looked a few years ago (the photo with chest hair). Yes, he should have downsized the pot belly, but his body looks unnatural now. And the lack of body hair (and body fat) makes his skin look saggy (e.g. photo 40).
dvlaries
I prefer the before too, with maybe just a sensible dieting off of 30 pounds, and he and I could achieve that with long walks after sex. But in the before state or all muscled-up later, that body ink I’d find irksome always.
“Everybody’s doing it” – is exactly the point.
What once had been the province of the occasional and genuine maverick is now so commonplace that it’s become a bow to conformity itself. I won’t live to see it, but one day there’s going to be a whole nursing home-generation of folks with metal shot through every protrusion, and faded ink on saggy, wrinkled skin. It ain’t gonna be pretty…
Anyway
Sheesh lighten up Eugene. I appreciate the transformation pics. And, really, if he’s that awful to look at, congrats on clicking through 40 pics to find one to make your point.
Jason
Oh, the BOQB will come after this perfect specimen of a stud!
How dare he lose a gut and get some tasteful ink and go from a 5 to a 9!!
The nerve!!
Gary
Great post, hot guy – thanks for reminding everyone that their level of fitness is up to them.
negative
I’m sorry to say this, but to me personally, there is nothing attractive about this man, before or after.
mark
Beautiful guy before and after, but I happen to like the relaxed look before.
And dvlaries, I have way more ink than the model and when I’m old and saggy and faded, well, the least of my worries will be my tattoos 🙂 Sorry it bothers you so very much!

i like…but wasn’t more brown before?
scott ny'er
i admire these before and after stories and give it up for the people who attain their goals BUT, I really think it’s not a fair comparison in those photos.
Of course, he got really built. But c’mon. Use the SAME EXACT POSE, and not one that flexes all the muscles so you look even more built.
dk
Yes he looks great, but I feel like this should be an article about the benefits of diet and exercise instead of a MG. It shows that everyone has the power to control their bodies. No you don’t have to go to his extreme, but healthy eating and moderate exercise can keep anyone trim and in good shape. If you are hating, it’s probably because you don’t like the way you look and don’t have the balls to take responsiblilty for it.
Eugene
@Anyway:
Hey, I didn’t say that he looks awful. He looks more or less attractive in many photos. Still, his body looks unnatural in nearly all of these pics, and the 40th photo is among the few close-ups, so I chose it to make my point. He should have found a middle ground.
YellowRanger
He’s attractive.
Not 44 pages attractive.
Rowen
The problem I have with this is that he wasn’t all that out of shape in the before pics. Yes, he had a beer gut, but based on the picture, I’m willing to bet he was doing the old trick of pushing his stomach out to make himself look “fatter.” I know plenty of folks who would love to be in the shape he was in in the before picture, and I thought he was pretty hot in that one, too. (I wouldn’t kick the after pics out of bed, but the before pictures look like someone who’s more . . . real? attainable?)
So, let’s say he lost some fat, and he’s a good looking guy, and let’s STOP saying that he was somehow this super huge obese monster before, and is now someone worthy of being looked at. I’d like my MG with a little less body dysmorphia, thank you.
Rowen
Also, if we’re gonna have 44 pages of some guy, can we PLEASE go back to having thumbnails? I’m on a slow connection and so every pic is a 5 minute surprise.
Darrien
He’s an attractive enough guy and from the size of his package, he didn’t use steroids when he was body building. I think the ‘saggy’ effect Eugene is referring to comes from a scar he has on his lower right torso that’s causing a wrinkling effect across his low stomach when he lies in a specific pose.
scott ny'er
@Rowen: Ha! More pages = more ad revenue. Keep dreaming. You’ll never see those thumbnails again. EVER!
Scott
Thanks but no thanks. He should go back to bartending. All those tattoos make him look less intelligent, witty and fun. And frankly he isn’t even very good looking. I will give him credit for the transformation though, that takes dedication and commitment.
Eugene
@Darrien: “I think the ‘saggy’ effect Eugene is referring to comes from a scar he has on his lower right torso that’s causing a wrinkling effect across his low stomach when he lies in a specific pose.”
Nope, nearly all 30+ “bodybuilders” look that way. His skin certainly doesn’t look saggy in the “before” picture (with body hair). He simply should have found a middle ground. Fit and muscled guys look sexy (e.g. rugby players), but “bodybuilders” usually don’t.

28 is YUMYUM YUMY!!!
Jason
The only way any of you bitter old trolls could get a man like that is cash money.
He is superhot, likes to take his clothes off and I’ll bet as he is Brazilian, is a awesome in the sack.
Back under your bridges you unhappy old homos.
Rowen
@Jason: I love the way that anyone who has an opinion, no matter how well formed and thought out, that contradicts what one silly faggot on here thinks, is labelled as an old, jealous, bitter troll. Since many of us haven’t descended to that level to say this isn’t our cup of tea, I think we can all spot who the trolls are here.
And unfortunately, I just fed one.
Eugene
@Jason: “The only way any of you bitter old trolls could get a man like that is cash money.”
LOL.
You are assuming that we actually want to get a man like that. Sorry, some of us would prefer to get a man like this:
http://www.towleroad.com/2009/09/sportrait-ben-cohen.html
Rowen
@Eugene: Wow, Eugene!! Where can I sign up for a man like that?
Prepuce
Does anyone honestly believe this guy could achieve that ripped abdomen without injecting something? At the very least, something to control his appetite?
Bob Lablah
I’d fist that all night long.
clarke
I’m always amazed at the level of criticism leveled at these beefcakey posts… If you don’t like ’em fine , but someone does . We all have different tastes ! Wow whata concept .
Bob Lablah
@clarke: You are correct. I think this guy should be congratulated on his new physique.
He shows his transformation from start, during, to finish product. I love stories like this.
And I would love to fist him too. He is cute.
Jason
@Eugene:
To get that you would have top pay cash money as well.
Same diff.
Hexx
*packages up the hot man and carries him home while all the idiot ass-hats are whining and complaining about him.*
You douchebags just can’t be satisfied.
Jason
@Jason:
Large hands, small iPhone.
Dave
put his name in Google and click images.. NICE!!
hardmannyc
This guy is gorgeous now and he was a fat, out-of-shape slob before. End of story.
Crunch the Numbers
If anybody doesn’t think this guy used steroids and/or human growth hormone then have I got a bridge to sell YOU! lol
And yes, especially with growth hormone, your skin takes on an orangish hue so yes, he’s a different color….
That said, would I do him? hell yeah!!!
The rule of thumb with these type of guys is to get them before the long term damage sets in. Soon enough his dick won’t work, his nuts will look small and he’ll be an exclusive muscle bottom (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
Hurry fellas, hurry!!!!!
scott ny'er
@Dave: He also does massage, and is gay-friendly. So you CA boys, go and get yours. If you’ve got the cash.
kevinvancouver
dude is smokin I also like the fact that in one of the bedroom shots you can see a framed poster for the late great Charles Pierce in the bathroom.. love it
z
“Unrecognizable” is a bit of a stretch, and as many others have said, I like his few-years-ago self a bit better.
hardmannyc
@Crunch the Numbers: So what? Who cares what he looks like in 20, 10 or even 5 years? And who the hell cares how he got there? why do people like you keep bringing up steroids? It’s weird. He’s gorgeous. Just enjoy.
Jason
@hardmannyc:
They can’t so they don’t.
Suburban
He has a great body in the after pictures, and I’m not gonna make comments on 44 pics, but why do men, gay or str8, spend so much time buidling their bodies to look like that only to get tats that just cover it up, and this guys tats are dark, which really hides his upper body. I’ve been told over and over that having a buff body doesn’t automatically make you a good lover. Yes, it’s really nice to look at. 44 fuckin pics, give me a break.
alan brickman
See jealous queens don’t be so jealous..and just hit a gym!!
Steven
Nicer with a shaved head. Which is something I rarely get to say!
I don’t know why this site leads with his self-shot stuff first, though. The more professional ones later are much better & hotter. Number #28 is funny and suggestive, for eg.
dlpca
OK, this is nice but has anyone seen the hotties on the new vampire diaries, CW tv series?
Now they are something to talk about! Drop the Freitas.
allancsn
Is it just me or is this guy really really short – pic 1 with him standing on the bed would suggest he’s about 5’3″.
BTW he’s a profesionalbody builder and had a great body before the fat photos – and muscle have great memories so not really a fat ordinary Joe turning his life around.
Sorry too much ink even for me.
And before you go off on one I’m not a jealous old troll, I do go to the gym and I can pick up attractive guys fairly easily.
hyhybt
I’m a bit torn about this: normally, I think that no matter how nice a tattoo itself looks, the person it’s on would have looked better without it, especially if it’s a large one. But *that* is absolutely beautiful.
Sean
He looks much better in person and he’s really nice guy.
Alexsander Freitas
Thank you Sean !!
Alexsander Freitas 🙂
Arun
His attitude makes him look good and sexy.
andrew
OMFG!!! He made a great work on his body!! Now he’s really hot & gorgeus!!
balehead
Nice to see the gay bullying is still on tap…
Mjl-428
@balehead: did it ever stop?
Kasnar
LOL…Isn’t just like us catty queens to zoom in on any actual or perceived flaw in someone else’s appearance?. Yes, I know he’s a porn star and such comes with the profession. Whether portly or lean, he’s still quite handsome. I’d take him either way. I tend to like my men hairy so I tend to go for the unclipped look.
I suppose we should be glad that Queerty doesn’t put cocks on display or we’d be commenting on how perfect or flawed his cock is too — even though I know you’ve all seen that as well.
Taliaferro
These photos have got to be some years old. His left hand is now entirely covered with tattoos and his face is much older. His modeling seems to have been mostly as a porn star for such sites as Men at Play and Smokinghunks.com.
hyhybt
@Taliaferro: Yes, you’re posting in a thread that’s more than three years old. Of course the photos are no longer up-to-date.
MuscleModelBlog.com
Although he was not as out of shape in the before picture as I think people would think at first glance (he probably was pushing his stomach out / had muscle under the fat), he still worked hard. #35 is especially good because it is a complete shot of his body.
And best of all: he doesn’t skip leg day!
balehead
His excercise program showed you can change your body and your health…the jealous will now also be afraid…
JustSayin
Sorry critics. Quit trying to assuage your lazy-ass guilt.
BEFORE pics= blah, meh, OK but sure not classy.
AFTER pics= AWESOME.
Would not have the least interest in even touching the ‘before guy’, and would hop-the-bones of the ‘after guy’.
I also do not like “overdone bodybuilders”, but this guy has stopped short of that. CONGRATS, and GOOD ON HIM!
jwtraveler
@Jason: Well aren’t you delightful?
