The sport of bodybuilding has inspired and attracted many individuals from other sports. From magazine covers to movies, pursuing a career in bodybuilding has been inspiring and fascinating for each athlete. But for one individual who eagerly wanted to become a football player, an unfortunate turn of events turned out to be a new path for his life’s success story.

Kali Muscle, a bodybuilder and YouTuber, always wanted to play in the National Football League (NFL). He had witnessed a lot during his early days, which changed his fate as well as his area of interest. Being a teenager, he, like most teenagers today, enjoyed junk food. Bodybuilding for him has come out very late, in his late 30’s. Unlike others in bodybuilding, the 48-year-old had no mentors.

From being an NFL enthusiast to becoming a bodybuilder

In his recent YouTube video, Kali Muscle discussed the reasons why an athlete, or fitness freak, often attempts suicide these days. He pointed out four reasons, as titled in the video “4 reasons why bodybuilders are suicidal”, and explained in depth about these points. As for him, it has been circumstantial, and trouble was caused. The 48-year-old wished to lay it out for young aspirants and talked about the side effects of things professionals do to live heavy.

Muscle motivations initially were not rooted in the desire to become a bodybuilder. Instead, they were fueled by the hope of gracing the NFL, but the wrong guidance changed the course of action. He mentioned, ” I built the physique that looked like a bodybuilder, but that wasn’t my purpose at that moment for doing it”.

Kali Muscle wishes the next generation to live longer

His journey to becoming a bodybuilder began when he was in jail, and despite surviving only on ramen noodles, he inclined himself toward weight training. Kali Muscle already had a physique like a bodybuilder and had sculpted more definition into his physique. After completing his conviction, he came out of jail. And he began competing and won several competitions, including Mr. California. Nonetheless, Kali Muscle left the competitive field because of his fatal-death experience two years ago.

The fruitarian bodybuilder is now advocating for people to choose a healthy lifestyle instead of chasing a dream that leads to misery. In his list, the number one reason is food. He further added, “So that’s the number one reason right there that many people are suicidal don’t even realize it. We eat all this bad food like me. I had a heart attack, right…”

Just like food, he emphasized three more reasons that included “Heavy weight lifting”, “poisonous supplements,” and harmful steroids.” According to him, everything that is essential for bodybuilding is not very healthy. Kali Muscle advises aspirants to work out to be fit and healthy, not to harm their health. And wishes no more to see young individuals die in order to get big muscles.
