Thirty days after his watermelon fasting challenge, Kali Muscle has been on another unending fast for the past nine days.

The bodybuilding enigma surprised the fitness community earlier, by using breast milk to break his fast on the seventh day. The rationale behind such a weird move was that his digestive system after long hours of fasting was synonymous with that of a child. Hence, he preferred breast milk over cow’s milk. However, Muscle’s body didn’t rejuvenate. 

The 48-year-old shared a clip of his ninth day of water fasting and revealed some issues he faced earlier that day. “I had that cramp all the way to this morning right here. Something’s going on with the body, no p**ping, no more. Sleep is terrible, I’ve been up since two,” he confessed. The bodybuilding who was once on steroid shots noted, “See, I went from eating cr*p to eating air.”

Despite trying different fasting rituals for fitness and health, Muscle revealed that he has normal strength while working out. However, Muscle’s early life was centered around unhealthy life practices. It wasn’t until the bodybuilding icon suffered a life-threatening heart attack that he shifted gears for a long life.

The near-death disaster of 2021

The social media icon was born into disturbed surroundings and had to carry a gun to school for protection. He lived 11 years of his life in prison, binge eating high-cholesterol food. Later, he started bodybuilding and resorted to unhealthy practices for muscle gain.
