Social media influencer Liver King, real name Brian Johnson has quickly become a hot topic within the fitness community. In a recent story posted on Instagram, Johnson showed off his insanely ripped physique after claiming he quit steroids 58 days ago.
Liver King gained attention for his massive build and unique dieting approach online. Johnson promotes an ancestral lifestyle based on the nine tenets which include eating raw meat and organs. His celebrity status skyrocketed after several clips of him eating raw meat went viral.
The 45-year-old faced allegations of steroid use based on his jacked physique for most of last year. UFC color commentator Joe Rogan appeared on his podcast and was convinced Johnson had an ‘a** full of steroids.’ He also thought Johnson was using a tired gimmick and didn’t buy into his message.
Johnson strongly refuted the accusations in numerous podcast appearances. The truth eventually came out as PED (performance-enhancing drug) expert Derek of MPMD published an exposé calling out Johnson’s natty status. He provided leaked emails as evidence, showing Liver King’s alleged steroid cycle and blood work. Johnson admitted to using gear shortly after and later confessed to misleading his followers.

Rogan reacted to the exposé by calling on Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to disclose his potential steroid use. Although Rogan was not against ‘The Rock’ potentially using steroids, he took issue with Johnson trying to skirt the issue.
Liver King’s ex-coach ‘Vigorous Steve’ weighed in on his confession a few days later. He revealed to Derek that he didn’t want to be Liver King’s drug guy. Derek later theorized that there was a high possibility of more lies going on behind the scenes.
Johnson made the commitment to go natty last December. Since he was heavily dependent on steroids, he refused to stop cold turkey and slowly came off of the gear instead. He gave fans a look into the physique changes after leaving steroid use for a week. He appeared to have lost fullness/mass and dropped down to 188 pounds following 42 hours without food.
Liver King shares update after 58 days without steroids
In a recent Instagram story, Liver King shared a progress update looking insanely ripped after being natty for 58 days.
Liver King was sued by a dissatisfied consumer from New York for $25 million after his steroid admission. The customer claimed Johnson’s ‘dangerous and life-threatening diet’ resulted in adverse health effects for some.
Internet sensation Bradley Martyn reignited some of the most notorious ‘natty or not’ debates last month. He drew a comparison between Johnson and fitness icon Mike O’Hearn based on their alleged steroid use.
Based on the latest update, Johnson looks to be maintaining impressive fitness levels as he continues to earn back the public’s trust.
He is not natty AAnything. No one gets me shredded after quitting steroids and hgh
Yea let’s just trust the proven liar.
He in cutting cycle with steroids.
Have a look how long roids remain in the body after quitting. So not worth praising
Somebody give this man a glass of water and maybe take eggs away from him. It looks like he has so much cholesterol and plaque in his arteries that his cardiovascular system bulges out almost horrifically against his muscles. He really should get offline and see a therapist for his self esteem and self image problems. I’m sure some people tried the supplements and genuinely like them. I’ve been taking a bunch of supplements for over 15 years bc I’m sickly. His supplements for the mind probably sell like hotcakes and always will. He’ll stay rich. He could close all brands and earn tons of money in real estate. He needs to focus on his physical and mental health. And get this man regular colonoscopies bc he eats far too much red meat
