Kali Muscle has appeared in a wide range of popular commercials, music videos, TV shows, and movies over the course of his career. He also owns a popular YouTube channel, boasting nearly four million subscribers, along with millions of followers on other social media platforms.
Although he is one of the most recognizable figures in the bodybuilding community, Kali Muscle had a very rough background. He spent his childhood surrounded by poverty and crime and felt like an outcast in his family. As he reached his teenage years, Kali’s fitness ability became evident, as his strength and athleticism made him stand out from his peers. However, as Kali encountered some more hard times, he turned to the streets. In turn, he was arrested and sentenced to 11 years in prison for robbery.
Kali used his time in prison to train, which proved to be a turning point in his life. After serving his sentence, Kali’s physical prowess allowed him to venture into multiple fields of entertainment. Moreover, he also won the 2012 Mr. California bodybuilding contest. His life path served as proof for others that it is possible to turn their lives around.
This is not the first time that Kali Muscle has had a health scare, as he suffered a heart attack back in 2021. As a result, Kali had a stent inserted into his heart to improve blood flow. Now at 50 years old, he has once again returned to the hospital, leaving many wondering if it had anything to do with his heart health.
Kali Muscle vowed to stop using PEDs following his heart attack and made it his goal to educate others on the dangers of such substances. He addressed not only amateurs but also professional athletes, being very vocal about the negatives of bodybuilding.
As for other medical procedures, Kali Muscle’s decision to undergo surgery in order to permanently change the color of his eyes caught the attention of the public. On the other hand, when he isn’t advocating against steroid use, Kali is completing dietary challenges, such as going six days with no food and only eating watermelon for nine days straight.
