He looks the way he does now because he hopped off everything. Not sure how Charlie missed every video he’s been posting because hes been calling himself “Liver King 2.0” and also claiming natural now. Which is why like Charlie said his muscles don’t exactly look bigger. Also as much as I don’t like LK he never once said in his videos that if you ate the ancestral diet that people would look like him. & it’s very obvious he was on gear so can’t blame him for people believing that in first place 🤦♂️
we have been manipulating fire for as long as 2 million years ago, and cooking with it 1.7 Mya. for comparison, australopithecus still existed that time
We deserve a reverse Liver King, where a natural dude brags endlessly about all the steroids they're taking, only to find out they don't even take cold medicine, let alone steroids.
liver king is like that guy from middle school who would constantly talk about doing anything for a few dollars and then folds when someone asks him to do something mundane
"PRIMAL FOLKS EAT SOFT ORGANS ONLY!" no... Folks who had to hunt and gather their food did NOT get to be picky. They ate plants and bugs, they would hold onto whatever they had as long as it wasn't stinky, and they'd COOK IT first... This idea of "pre-fire" diets has nothing to do with how people eat, because the discovery of cooked meat was one of the things that allowed us to evolve into homo sapiens in the first place. Fad diets and this idea of eating raw, is honestly much more modern and spoiled. Being picky and pretending you should only eat something very specific is not anything humanity was able to do before, oh, around the 1940s.
He kept telling everyone who interviewed him “They think I have implants” when nobody actually accused him of that. Now I feel strongly about him actually having implants lol
he probably will get implants when he transitions into a woman. The dude likes to eat testicles bro. No chance this dude has not seen a few dongs UP CLOSE.
Actually tons of people accused him of having ab implants or abdominal etching or selective fat removal or some kind of cosmetic surgery on his abs. As well as everyone knowing he was on peds.
Honestly as ridiculous as his diet is, and as worrying as his health is, it still angers me that people like him are essentially selling body dysmorphia to boys too young to tell he just does a lot of steroids.
@@Kain1805 His diet is counter productive and very silly given that we as a species have evolved to eat cooked food. So eating things intentionally raw is just openly stating "I don't understand human biology" and the fact that we digest cooked food more efficiently and get more value out of it (which if you are eating meat is a very important factor as you want to use everything you can due to the cost). Also eating so much meat, even if you can afford it, is environmentally disastrous and not that great for many people unless you are extremely active and need an absurd amount of protein. You could replace so much of that meat with other alternatives and it would likely be healthier for both you and for those around you. He's just another "ancestral/primal living" comman who uses pseudoscientific notions based in Hollywood stereotypes more than knowledge of our past to create a dietary model. I highly doubt outside of content he's actually eating like this, and unless his personal nutritionist/chef is also a fraud, they wouldn't advise him too either.
Serious... so many younglings are getting juiced... dang 16 year olds on more drugs then the neighborhood janks... the whole industry is all steroid abuse and death by enlarged hearts at this moment... its to the point no one knows really what an all naturual athlete looks like anymore
What's funny is I've done a lot of research on how primal people lived. Because it really interests me. And they actually stayed away from tongues, and testicles. To some primals, it was unreligious. And it was bad for the body. They usually are thigh meat, leg meat, and chest meat.
And when farming was discovered and civilizations are formed, most people have been eating beans, chickens, pigs and rabbits because they need to save the cattle for working and milk unless they are nomadic or semi nomadic. Basically, large animals only became commonly available after the discovery of the American continent and later the green revolution allowing cheap cow meat. And most existing tribal cultures still subsist mostly on medium to small sized animals because hunting a buffalo with only spears is incredibly dangerous and they don't have refrigeration to preserve the surplus meat anyway. Basically, the primal diet is BS because it doesn't even represent the majority of the real primal diets.
@@nickstav08 That or scavengers already picked the carcasses clean before they arrived. Not to mention they have to cook the meat very thoroughly for that reason. Unlike vultures, human don't have strong enough immune system to eat spoiled meat. They didn't even want to take chances with farmed meat. In fact if you look at the historical dishes eaten by farmers, sailors, pioneer settlers or cowboys, they are mostly represented by stew, because of practicality. Stews are easy to make and most importantly, less time consuming to make while still guaranteeing that the meat is cooked all the way through without the risk of burning their hard earned meals. If you know the correct amount of water and fuel, by the time the fire burns out, the stew is ready and you don't have to watch it unlike other methods of cooking, very important for people who have to work to survive. In fact, there has been evidence that even the Neanderthals eat soup because it's just a more efficient way to cook meat with vegetables and later, grains. Not only Liverking was wrong about the types of meat, he is also wrong about how to cook it.
@@minhducnguyen9276 Humans have plenty strong immune systems, as long as we "exercise" it. Hence why Indians don't get sick drinking their tap water, but tourists do. The human immune system makes us immune to everything. Literally, we are immune to any parasite, virus, bacteria and fungus. The problem is we simply don't have enough immune cells for said diseases when they enter our bodies. They need to be rapidly manufactured, and by that time the disease has already multiplied and wreaked havoc. If diseases are constantly introduced though, then immune cells for said disease are always kept at a high level, and immunity is formed.
Primal hunters basically looked like 5' 4" fedex employees with dirty feet. You simply cannot have that caloric intake and time to craft your muscles when you are struggling to get a kill on a hunt day in and day out
It's so fucking stupid how all these losers think every caveman was out there looking like Gigachad or something If you looked like that in the wild you'd be fucking dead in a week Look at The Rock, dude needs to eat like 10,000 calories a day to maintain his mass. Obviously he's a big guy but you'd still be needing upwards of 5000 on average which means you would need to be catching like a whole deer every few days and good luck doing that when you spend most of the time shitting, exercising or looking at your reflection in the water before a crocodile wipes you out
I like how he talks about the Maasai warriors like they're the same as him. The Maasai are INCREDIBLY lean and lightweight. They're basically skin and bones with the smallest amount of muscle to make hunting practical. They are not massive bodybuilders. They're skinny as hell and eat probably a tenth of the meat he does. My parents purchased me a sword from their tribe when they visited africa and they have pictures of their people. They definitely drink milk, and most of their weapons are wrapped with a red dyed cow leather. But they do not consume bowls of meat and milk for food
@@whar207can back this up, currently in Kenya, seen a lot of Maasais, done the touristy things to see how they live, my partner is Kenyan (not Maasai) and nothing LK does is close to what I’ve seen 😂
Liver King situation is somewhat similar to Nikocado’s. Their way of remaining financially stable and providing for themselves is shovelling food down, and show ponying it. The only distinct difference here is Liver King quite literally eats balls and injects himself with enchantments
Except it was also revealed he was a multimillionaire before starting the Primal brand and marketing BS. He was already juiced up nd successful with other ventures and just wanted to become an influencer
Whats funniest is that you can get a sense of what our "primal ancestors" looked like by looking at various hunter-gatherer tribes today.. and none of them are remotely as ripped as he is. Most of them (aside from a few protein deficient ones such as on New Guinea) have a healthy looking toned, muscled physique, but no unnaturally bulging muscles that look like they were crafted in a laboratory
Consuming milk isn't even primal living. Milk and dairy products are a consequence of domesticated animals thanks to the development of agriculture. Being able to digest milk into adulthood is a relatively recent evolutionary adaptation. This dude is just about the modern aesthetic of primal living than the actual primal living of our prehistoric ancestors.
His meals are truly primal I remember from anthropology class that we found 300.000 year old supplement bags all over the world. Even some stone age creatine Truly ancestoral power
Our ancestors weren't consuming cow's milk either. That's a fairly recent occurrence, as in the last 5k years or so. The only people that thought this dude was natty are people that have never lifted weights.

At this rate, it won't be long before he becomes "Liver Failure King." You definitely don't wanna be the guy chasing clout by lying about your dialysis regimen.
Exactly. If you haven’t seen it, look up the scene from Batman beyond where Terry finds Bane in the retirement home after he’s spent the last 20 years hooked on venom. There’s nothing left of him but a frail shriveled husk on life support… That’s probably what’s going to happen to liver king if he doesn’t get help.
@@Cheeto_Fingerz THIS. I am able to tell a persons health on sight. I get an actual percentage in my head. It also tells me how long you have till you die. It has become a game with my friends and they point to someone on the television and ask me how long they have. :P I am invariably right on the money ninety nine percent of the time. He is near to a serious cardiac or vascular event. Oh... and his liver is not fairing so well either.
Honestly the Primitive Technology YT channel shows more about 'primal' living than Liver King does. Dude has started making his own iron tools while Liver King is busy getting his personal chef to prepare his meals.
@@TacticalLeo He's got enough for a knife, and he's been experimenting with increasing the yield of his smelting process. I wonder what he's going make out of the iron he's collecting...
I didn't realize how bad a problem steroids were, until my brother got out of prison. He was pretty big from being in there for so long and doing nothing but working out. He wasn't on steroids though. He wanted to stay strong so he would go to the gym everyday in Phoenix and I would go with him. I don't usually go to gyms. Because of his size other body builders in the gym assumed he did steroids and were always trying to sell him some. Telling him how well they worked by showing off their own muscles because they did them. We went to many different gyms while he was trying to find the one he liked best and it was the same at every one. Literally every overly jacked guy in every gym had steroids. If you see a guy who has what seems to be unnaturally large muscles. It's steroids.
Or they were just trying to sell the stuff. Sure they may be using some, but if you don't personnaly know them, nothing guarantees they are actually selling the same stuff they are using.
@@TheUnkow Those folks take something. A former friend of mine does bodybuilding. Everyone in his gym - including him - uses this stuff. He started with protein powder and after a few month he went all in. We lost contact over the years.
I had a cousin who abused steroids really bad. He popped a pill or two every day and never went off cycle from his high school days through his late 20s so he could be barely competent at arm wrestling. His organs are probably starting to fail. This cousin was on kidney dialysis in his 30s. His liver was failing, but there was alcohol abuse that added to that. He wasted away and went from a naturally powerful man to a juiced fishhead, to an absolutely beaten, battered, and weakened body all within the span of a decade. He barely made it to 40 with an official cause of death being multiple organ failure. Guys like Liver King and a lot of the fitness world have rarely fooled me. Only the really healthy steroid users who properly cycle, or rarely do cycles at all, have been able to pull one past me. I just have the experience of seeing all of this to be easily fooled. I've seen every stage of use and abuse. I've seen the bulk up and inevitable crash and burn.
Look at Clarence Kennedy to see how to do it properly. He uses, but also followed a super healthy diet, probably isn't cycling constantly either. Meanwhile he's lifting Olympic level weights. Some of his lifts are near at or at world record weights for his category. He's humble, honest, and a true athlete.
I cannot stress enough, but if you need of actual weight loss, go see a license credible doctor not just someone who is qualified I'm talking someone who went to school and graduated Last thing I wanna do is throw money at someone who says they credible because they dealt with their own bad food addictions by not relapsing that’s great, but they are far safer options out there
More plates more dates also exposed he doesnt really eat like that outside his videos. His diet is more like normal high protein body builders diet not raw livers, and such every day
Thing is, if Liver King has a personal chef, and a private jet, he is definitely wealthy enough that he does not need to keep doing this for the sake of his family, and he does not need to keep doing it just to stay afloat. At this point, it's either habit/addiction at this point, or greed that keeps this shtick going.
not necessarily. for all we know he is in debt. a lot of people with millions of dollars in real estate, for example, have that because they are perpetually taking out new loans against their new properties. they just keep kicking the can down the road. he could be doing the same thing. he has businesses, and perhaps he is at risk of losing one, some, or all of them so he has to keep doing the videos, etc.
I think part of the reason why he seems to be filled with less energy is because of his exposure. He knows everyone else knows. Whereas before, he probably convinced himself that he was completely legitimate, and therefore had more energy than before because of it. Regardless, I hope he can find something else for him content wise that makes him truly happy without having to hide behind something.
Yeah i buy that. But extended use of steroids is really bad for you isnt it? We had our dog on steroids for severe allergies, and the vet told us we should figure out alternatives that work because the extended steroid usage could cause problems, and this was only after a month or two. Edit: realized that those were probably corticosteroids whereas liver king is on anabolic steroids. Regardless it seems like long term usage isn't good either way.
The worst thing is if he physically looks that bad then the gear has probably already ate a large chunk of his sanity. Most people when they start looking rough on gear means their mental health is in steep decline. It reminds me sadly of Chris Benoit. So he seriously needs help at this point not just for him, but his family.
@ryannsinnia Chris Benoit was almost pure CTE, ironically the steroids may have kept him saner because repeat head trauma destroys your pituitary gland and it screws your hormones up, which leads to confusion, more extreme memory loss, etc. It wasn't so much "mental health" as 50 concussions and brain deterioration. There's a great JRE with an ex military gunman who goes into detail on CTE, it sounds horrific
One of my favorite liver king moments was during an interview where he was asked if he was on PEDs and he proudly said YES and goes to say Perform, Execute, and Dominate 💀

I will never be convinced that guys like this don't immediately fling themselves from their strollers, screaming and crying and snotting while banging their little fusts on the ground, whenever they're informed that the 'primal' human diet would mostly consist of foraged greens, grains, and fruit, with small amounts of cooked meat.
the guy is too pussy to actually get on the "memorizing which plants are edible and where they are in your foraging area and passing the knowledge down to your children" grind
Ngl this isn’t even accurate to real prehistoric diets. They overwhelmingly eat tubers, wild grains, berries, fish, and supplement by some small animals. Of course this varies based on setting, culture, and season. This guy is doing something more akin to Henry VIII than a Neolithic human
His physique screamed gear use from the beginning. Anyone with eyes could see his insane turtle shell gut. Derek outing him was just the cherry on top.
Due to high pressure in abdomen, abdominal muscles are pushed closer to surface of the skin. Often it's caused by enlarged liver which is result of steroid usage.

If I want to look like Liver King, I'll just get myself a trusty pair of Anchor Arms. As long as Sandy doesn't sign me up for a weight lifting contest, I'll be just fine.
If he eats as much liver as his name implies, he may be suffering from vitamin A poisoning. Also, history, a "primal" bed was a sack of straw. Way better for your back than a hard surface.
People who know nothing about fitness I don't know much about fitness either but I do know it's impossible for anyone to have muscles like that naturally I knew from the start he was on steroids

I'm gonna be honest, I hope he's okay. I never thought he was cool or anything, I'm just genuinely concerned he's falling into a self-destructive spiral.
I believe in one of the interviews he said he turned to steroids because of self esteem issues and exercise addiction. I don't know how true that is, but that's what he said.
Every steroid abusers starst for either two reasons. competition or lack of self esteem. Exercise addiction is a outright lie. theres no examples of documentation being for that reason for anyone who has a history of steroids.. he was farming sympathy whilse staying in character. @@SVD_NL
I love that he references the Maasai, an African tribe that actually live a traditional hunter gatherer lifestyle who live a hard and rough lifestyle and eat a mostly meat/milk diet like liver king but still look nothing like him. They have a slender but toned natural physique. Liver King never ceases to amaze me with his bs.
yeah, in actual primitive living having giant bulging muscles is a massive waste of calories and does nothing for you. primitive peoples are all about efficiency, they are lean AF
@@antonego9581 Right even the neanderthal myth about them being "jacked" They are pretty slender and they were pretty intellectual Now the homo erectus/hibilis aka "Bigfoot" were bulky and that was mainly due to a herbivore diet like gorillas
That "farm fresh milk" has been clearly homogenized & pasteurized . I didn't realize our primal ancestors had access to a French doctor's tech from the 1800's.
As someone who was on the sauce for years and years, I never understood how someone could believe you could achieve this physique naturally. It’s pretty obvious, even without the knowledge I may have gained over the years.

"our ancestors" didnt have time for diet. They ate whatever was available. Stop acting like meat hasnt been our primary food source for the longest time
Honestly its probably the opposite. He might have cut his stack. Ive done gear for a bit when was a body builder and knew plenty on it. Most of the cats i knew that looked like monsters, as soon as they went off longer than their cycle (like when they were planning on putting it down) they became very lethargic, started to immediately look like death, and got that weird "you could tell i used to be buff but now my body looks like its melting" vibe. Not saying anything for sure everything i am going off of is anecdotal. But just perspective from someone who used to be in that scene.

Ahh, Liver King. I never knew you personally, but the only thing I know about you is that one time my dad got really sick after scoffing down a bunch of bone marrow, and upon asking if he was doing fine, said to me "Never go full Liver King"
the crazy thing is, 'primal' humans didn't regularly eat meat. certainly not every day, let alone every meal. it's much easier, energy efficient, and reliable to spend time foraging than hunting. and when they did get meat, it was absolutely cooked and cured because otherwise you'd get sick and it'd go bad really quickly. 'Primal' is a word that can imply 'stupid' or 'unaware', but they were still human beings perfectly capable of figuring out that eating meat raw meant you were far more likely to get sick.
there are certainly speficic cultures of indigenous peoples on earth who have diets largely composed of meat, mainly fish or whales in places where farming or foraging is not as viable, but thats a bit of a far cry from eating a diet composed of exotic animal dicks and raw milk
"Grog spend whole day running after four leg horn animal. Then he kill animal! He drink the blood! He eat the meat, no fire!" "How is he?" "He been dead since last wildfire. Shit all over cave, whole tribe had to move. Don't do that."
That's... dependent on how far you go back. We see modern primates chowing down on raw meat (including that of other primates), so it isn't that much of a stretch to imagine pre-fire-wielding humans did the same. Not to mention meals like tartare, which survived all the way into modernity. I'd rather keep my body as parasite-free as possible, but it's not the constant mortal danger you'd think it is.
