Liver King Invites Challengers to Complete His ‘Bare Knuckle 1-Minute Push-Up Challenge’ for $1,000

Brian Johnson, well known as Liver King, was made famous for his raw-meat-eating ways and jacked physique. In a recent Instagram post, he implored his fans to accept his ‘bare-knuckle’ one-minute push-up challenge for $1,000. 

“I can hardly believe how modern men attempt what they call push-ups today… Broken wrists, broken bodies at waist, shallow depth, partial extensions and partial results.”

Having reached international fame thanks to his ancestral lifestyle, Liver King has become one of the most recognizable names in fitness. Originally, he claimed to be clean of all performance-enhancing drugs… that was until Derek of More Plates More Dates exposed his steroid cycle via a leaked email. 

Despite that fact, Liver King’s popularity hasn’t waned. He sports over 2.3 million followers on Instagram, who all track his commitment to ancestral living. From health and wellness to family and community, Johnson, and his loved ones, swear by the unconventional lifestyle. 

Even though Liver King decided to go clean, he eventually hopped back on growth hormone. However, today, he put that aside to urge his audience to up their fitness level with a grueling knuckle-only push-up challenge.

Liver King Challenges Fans to ‘Bare-Knuckle’ 1-Minute Push-Up Challenge 

Check out how Liver King fared in the challenge below: 

“Liver King here issuing another challenge. A lot of primal can do push-ups with their bare hands, but how many can you do with your bare knuckles on the concrete. How many can you do in one minute?” Liver King said.

Liver King completed 51.

“Think you can beat me? Prove it, send me a video,” adds Johnson.

Liver King not only laid out form rules for the challenge, but he also added a ‘musts’ section and a list of disqualifying actions:

“Liver King, OUT!” Liver King shared. 

This wasn’t the 45-year-old’s first challenge to the public. He also took on UFC title contender Paulo Costa and Bellator champion Patricky Pitbull in a raw meat-eating contest. Despite Costa’s and Pitbull’s best efforts, Johnson’s love for eating raw meat was too much to match. 

As of late, the influencer has been hit with a couple of lawsuits, with one amounting to a staggering $25 million. According to the plaintiff suing Johnson, he was deceived to purchase Liver King’s supplements due to the star’s jacked physique and raw-meat-eating diet. Given that many of his followers feel betrayed, fans are unsure what this will mean for Liver King and the message he’s sending to his audience. 

There’s no denying that when Liver King takes to a challenge, he sees it through. If you think you can defeat his 51 push-ups in one minute, the ripped influencer has $1,000 waiting for you!
