American bodybuilder and YouTuber Kali Muscle has gone through a lot of trauma in his life. His struggles with steroid abuse and unhealthy relationship with dietary choices are not a secret for anyone in the fitness industry. He openly talks about his mistakes and preaches to maintain a healthy lifestyle now using his social media and YouTube. 

Unfortunately, when Muscle was fighting for his life after a severe heart attack in 2021 due to a clogged artery, many creators and influencers made videos about the issue. When Muscle finally recovered and witnessed the ongoings in the outside world, he felt outraged over the matter. 

Kali Muscle talks about the harsh reality of digital media

In a recent video that Muscle posted on his YouTube channel, he revealed his initial feelings when he came across the content that YouTubers made about him. Probably anyone is bound to feel angry if one recovers and gets to know that his traumas were being used to milk out content. However, over time, he states that he accepted and understood those people who were using his tragedy for their popularity. What amazed Kali the most was the fact that how some people can spend all their energy on one person. “I can never just sit up and talk about a man like that and just put all my energy into a man. I have too much to worry about. I got family, friends, business partners. A legacy I want to live,” Kali said. 

Kali Muscle also added, “I was pissed when I woke up. Man, like all the dudes, is talking about me trying to boost their channels or whatever…maybe they are concerned but don’t know how to express it. Maybe they lie and are just looking for clout.”

In a YouTube short shared by Kali a while ago, he talks about his experiences with PEDs and educates his audience about the side effects of using drugs. Kali began the video by stating, “I am scared of weights now.” 

According to the bodybuilding veteran, if he had a chance to go back in time, then the first thing he would do is advise his younger self against using steroids. “I would tell myself, don’t do bodybuilding shows and don’t take all that synthetic, made in a lab,” said Kali Muscle. While he confessed to learning a lot through the sport, the YouTuber implied that natural bodybuilding is the way to go.
