Where to begin? This guy started as a clown in the fitness space on YouTube. Apparently there was too much competition there so he has transitioned to an automotive channel. He now owns 3 Hellcats among other vehicles. I've seen lots of dumb shit on YouTube before, but the sheer ignorance of EVERYONE who regularly appears in his videos is next level. From him to his sidekick to the people at the shops he goes to. Wow. It's like driving past a car crash, you just can't look away. Enjoy the spectacle that proves you can monetize anything. The worse the better, apparently.

Combination of long term steroid abuse and poor diet led to this. In this Youtube video, of course he downplayed his steroid cycles and said he was merely getting by on TRT but you don't look like he does, good genetics or not, without taking considerably more than TRT alone. He often ate like garbage, which he somewhat admits but says its only on occasion which just isn't true for those that have been following him for years. He simply thought becase of the drugs he was taking, he could get by with eating like crap and his body was handling all that crap food just fine. You never realize how much damage you're doing on the inside. He half-jokingly claims that Top Ramen caused it but its not, its fast food and overeating garbage food. This sounds like a wake-up call he needed. It remains to be seen how much this humbles him and if it will change his obnoxious videos.Kali Muscle Gives Heart Attack Update, Sends Warning To Bodybuilders – Fitness Volt

I have my doubts too it will change his obnoxious videos, but one can only hope.
Nah son, he a 🤡, noe whut I'm sayin
After watching what he eats I’m surprised he didn’t have a problem even sooner. Carrying that much mass alone is incredibly taxing on your system and then eat like total garbage and never do cardio, come on.
For the sake of his kids…hopefully.
This was definitely a wake up call for Kali. There has been a lot of recent deaths in the bodybuilding community this year and all the things going around the world doesn't help either. It would be nice if a lot of these folks would get regular extensive blood work, health screenings, organ scans, calcium score tests, controlling blood pressure, donating blood to avoid high hematocrit levels, doing cardio more often etc, to avoid such issues.
A lot of this can be avoidable if they were more proactive and responsible with their health. Sure anything can happen but still a lot less likely if looking after ones self a lot more. Kali should of know better not to eat poorly often and for so long especially while being on P.E.D.S as that and long term poor eating without being responsible with your health is what caused this.
As far as gear usage your not going to completely know how much of what they are on or what there prior use was like wether they even misused or abused them. Some folks can be genetically gifted to respond very well to very little gear. At the end of the day if your wanting to get more performance from your body or even your Hellcat, expect to take care of it more and be more responsible with it.

Like cars, much is the same with those that get serious about lifting. If a little gear is good, more must be better and much like cars, once you start modifying them heavily, things start to break, the body isn't all that different in regards to this.

Ironically, I was following a similar path when I was younger, I was taking way more gear than I needed and I wasn't eating all that healthy either. I grew like a weed but it was probably unhealthy for my heart and I'm glad I didn't continue that lifestyle forever. That was almost 20 years ago that I stopped using gear and living like that. I still train 5 days a week but all natural now, no TRT either, I eat really healthy though and just try to stay in shape. The gains come very slowly now but at least I'm not in a place where I'm overly concerned about changing my physique, I'm 6', 232lbs at 18% BF which isn't awful for my age. My goal is to get to 240lbs at 14-15% BF like I was 10 years ago and then just maintain it. I feel like its going to take me a solid year to get there at this pace. Everything is harder at 46 years old.
That's a good way to go my man. Unless your really competing and it's your job, it's better to stay natural to do it for health and longevity. By the way great goal you have in mind their. At your age with that bodyweight and bodyfat percentage that's a good muscle to fat ratio and pretty respectable especially for a natural. đź‘Ť

Yea, in my mid 20's I was 264lbs but around 20% BF. I never really desired to go lower because I was just trying to grow as much as I could. Because of the amount of gear I was taking though, I was holding a good bit of water, my face was puffy all the time, my blood pressure was high and I was sweating constantly. I feel pretty good about where I am currently at my age 100% natural. My body is comfortable with this weight, getting 240lbs won't be an issue but trying to get the BF down to 14-15% is certainly more of a struggle. Eating clean isn't difficult, trying to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time as we all know is VERY difficult, especially without any gear.
Yea the classic “moon face” lol. I remember my days in my early 20’s as well looking up to the mens open bodybuilding guys back then like Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, Branch Warren, Dennis wolf, etc. Always wanted to be like them but the older I’ve gotten and seeing how the industry can be it has changed my mind a bit. I was pushing around 250 lbs at 5'9 because I wanted to be big and the best I could be so bad and still being natural at that. I don’t remember what my body fat percentage was but I was not as lean as I’d like to be at the time since I was sacrificing conditioning for size, haven't we all? lol
I’m still young at 32 but still have that hungry mentality to chase goals to be like that but feel like Classic Physique would be the right middle ground and to maintain good shape year round to be within striking distance of competition weight when competing. Now I look up to guys who have great overall packages representing the actual art and beauty of bodybuilding like the Chris Bumsteads, Breon Ansleys, Rafael Brandos, etc. I’d definitely like to be on their level but in this sport it’s based on how the individuals’ body responds and see how far you can get competing and making it happen.
Definitely agree on the complications of gaining mass and losing fat at the same time especially for the natural individual who’s been in the game for a while. Unless you’re a noob again making those beginner gains lol. I’m sure you know what you’re doing but you could also always seek out a nutrition coach that you can rely on and hold accountable with your progress if you haven’t already.

I log all my food and I'm watching my macros. First time I've ever done it since I started training. I lifted heavily in my 20s, then basically was very sporadic in my 30s and early 40s. At one point last year in Sept. I was 212lbs at 26%BF, I've been training hard again since January of this year and started watching my diet carefully and I'm back up to 232lbs at 18% BF so I think I'm on the right path, it just takes time. My test levels aren't what they were in my 20s or even 30s so its slow going because ultimately how much mass you can carry is based on genetics and test levels. Sometimes I think I could jump on TRT and be at my goal in 2-3 months instead of a year but then I ask myself, what's the rush and why? Its a personal goal and I'm not competing so why rush it? I don't suffer from low Test levels but like I said, if I were on TRT, they would 2-3x higher than they are now which would greatly speed everything up. I feel pretty good for the most part other than my body aches more than it use to, I take longer to recover from my workouts and its easy to overtrain if I get too zealous. Training at this point at my life is teaching me a lot more about my body, especially how critical nutrition is.
I agree Classic Physique is probably the future, I think a large portion of fans are growing tired of the Open class, but I don't think Classic has evolved far enough yet to take over. Bumstead is the champion they needed to push Classic to the front. My only issue with Classic is that they need to raise the weight caps some. Bumstead looks good on stage but he looks better 8-10 weeks out before he starts having to drop muscle to make the weight limits for his height. I think they just need to be bumped up a bit more in order to get that late 70's to 80's physique that most people prefer.
Having a food log and watching your macros is definitely one of the best things you’re doing. You’re able to see whats going on with your physique and the changes made on a daily basis doing that, so those transformations you’re making are definitely working. Bodybuilding is definitely an intuitive sport and the longer someone has been in the game and are better at recognizing what works for them the better that person will be at transforming their physique.
I agree with the Classic physique division. Chris Bumstead does look good for sure but seemed like this year he had to get a little deeper in his prep restricting more calories then he’d probably like to make weight. Some of them struggle to make weight as there body transforms over the years. So some start to head into the 212 division because of their bodies being more comfortable at a higher bodyweight.
Some guys in the Mens open have aesthetic looking physiques and Shawn Rhoden was definitely one of them, guy looked incredible in 2018 when he beat Phil Heath but it’s sad he recently passed. Some of the Athletes with the huge distended guts seem to have overdone it and for sure it’s not healthy. It could be because of GH, Insulin, on top of carbing up way too much to fill out for the final night show causing the distension etc. So I agree a lot of folks are tired of seeing that but even though they are the freaks on stage it would be hard to train the eye of the audience to accept looking at only the smaller athletes. Just like spectating at the drag strip folks will always get amped up to see the real big horsepower freaks out there as opposed to the lesser horsepower cars even though sometimes usually the big horsepower cars tend to break down more often.
Literally one of the very best things to have happened to the Hellcat since the widebody. "If Dodge would have sponsored me, maybe I would have kept them. They sent me BBQ sauce..." lol That's some funny shit!
I hate that my view paid him.. but from the humor standpoint, he is funny.
