Kali Muscle rose to fame in the mid-2010s as one of the more polarising social media personalities. Over the years, many bodybuilding fans labeled the YouTuber as a fake natty. However, the Kali Muscle took any hate thrown at him in his stride and even hit out at some of his critics. However, in 2021 the bodybuilder who turned his life around after spending time in prison suffered a heart attack. Since then, the 48-year-old millionaire has preached against using steroids and other “synthetic” performance-enhancing substances.
Recently the Xcon to Icon: The Kali Muscle Story author spoke about how he regrets using steroids. In a YouTube short titled I Regret Taking Steriods Kali Muscle explained, how he feels about his ridiculous feats of strength using massive weights. He also revealed what he would tell his 34-years self about steroid use.
Natural bodybuilding is the safer way
The video started with the former enhanced bodybuilder sitting on an inclined bench. “I was just thinking just a second ago, man, I used to go like five wheels on it, I look back like, why?” said the former bodybuilder. Kali Muscle often challenged the limits of his strength in his videos. However, now he wonders why he did so, as it put stress on his heart.

During his prime, the 48-year-old weighed over 245 lbs and could easily do bodyweight movements like muscle ups. “Somebody asked me what would I tell my 30 years self. I didn’t know bodybuilding even was till I was 34,” said the millionaire author. According to the 48-year-old, 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 bodybuilding, the YouTuber said natural bodybuilding is the way to go. In the YouTube short, Kali Muscle also said, “I am scared of weights now.” However, after surviving a heart attack, he is doing much better.
