Days After Being Criticized by IFBB Pro Coach for His Watermelon Diet, Bodybuilding Hunk Discloses the Dangers of Steroid Use

Once a bodybuilder, he’s now a popular fitness influencer and YouTuber. What makes Kali Muscle stand out is his larger-than-life personality and ripped physique.  Like many others, Kali’s journey was also with many obstacles. He faced a major setback when he suffered a heart attack due to a clogged artery.

This incident led him to become an advocate for raising awareness about the risks of using steroids. Sadly, he mentioned that, around the same time, the 2018 Mr. Olympia Shawn Rhoden died due to heart complications. During his recent interview uploaded by Anabolic Doc on his YouTube channel, he mentioned that he has been to jail for a few years twice in his life. Well, this is a story for another time.

An Incident that changed Kali Muscle’s perspective on health

In a recent interview, Kali opened up about his childhood health struggles he said, “I was always scared of health issues. I’ve always had a problem since I was young my right ankle and foot would retain water so I am always concerned with that and scared. Even when I did shows, I would take diuretics or whatever and I would look at that foot and it wouldn’t be shredded and hard like I wanted it.”

He recalled an event that changed his life forever. In his words, “It was like I woke up from the dead. I was dead asleep. I just popped up. Hold on, what’s going on. It feels like I have heartburn. I told my wife to get me some heartburn medication. The only way I found it felt better was if I sat on the couch on my knees. It relieved the little burning sensation.” This incident was a wake-up call for him that changed his perspective on health.

Doucette’s criticized his Watermelon diet challenge

With a different mindset now, Kali Muscle is currently undertaking a unique challenge to have only watermelon as a full-day meal. However, a few days ago, IFBB Pro Coach Greg Doucette openly expressed his disapproval of this challenge in one of his YouTube videos.

He is really concerned about the bodybuilder’s challenge. He’s not sure about how Kali’s diet will end. Doucette explains that while watermelons are low in calories, they don’t have all the important elements our bodies need. He says that eating only watermelon will make the body have even less protein and other important things.
