Rafael Schaefer's Sexiness is Next to Godliness

Faith-based fitness gurus are a rare find. Rafael Schaefer and his beliefs about a higher power are the first thing we read on his Instagram.

If he's going to treat his body like a temple in the vestibule of social media, we can at least pay him an indulgence with our eyes.

Taking selfies of his great abs, shoulders, and legs are worthy of asking for forgiveness later.

The Greek Gods would have approved. After all, they created Hercules. But even he wore clothes. Schaefer is one of those thirst traps who never takes a selfie with his shirt on.

He told the German blog "Any Gains," in 2023 that one of his muscle training mantras is, "The question is not whether it will be done, but only how hard and for how long." That's a rule that's served him well.
