LIVER King is known for his incredible musclebound physique which he swears is down to a strict diet which includes eating raw meat.
But some people have questioned whether he uses steroids to bulk out his frame.
Did Liver King admit to using on steroids?
Liver King - who's real name is Brian Johnson - has strenuously denied EVER taking steroids to maintain his body.
He was forced to the address the issue in August 2022 when commentator Joe Rogan claimed the Liver King used drugs to boost his physique.
Joe told Andrew Huberman's podcast: "The Liver King thing drives me nuts because that guy is on steroids.
"Just shut the f**k up. I know he is eating really healthy.
"It's clear he is eating all these animal foods and you know he is eating organ meat which is very rich in nutrients, all that's true... Well, look at him.
"Do you know how rare it is to have a physique like that and not be on steroids?... I don't care how much you lift weights, that is a freak physique."
In response to Joe's claims Liver King told his followers: "I think him saying that [Liver King's using steroids] is dangerous.
"You know, I want to set the record straight. I would love the opportunity to talk to him face to face.
"To really get deep into to the nine ancestral tenets…
"I don't touch this stuff [steroids], I've never done this stuff, I'm not going to do this stuff."
But he recently confessed to using steroids in a six-minute long YouTube video.
He said: "I fully own that I f***** up. I am as sorry as a man can be."
It comes after an email was said to show how Johnson described his steroid regiment, according to Rolling Stone.
The claims his regiment cost his $11,000 per month.
The emails are said to have been sent to an unnamed coach in 2021, the same year the Liver King started posting on Instagram and building up his fanbase of more than 1.7million followers.
Many were quick to blast the muscleman, with some hoping it would encourage other fitness influencers to be honest about their steroid use.
One commented: “This was bound to happen. I’m surprised he lasted as long as he did.”
Another said: "Hopefully this is a watershed moment for the fitness industry and will lead to greater transparency."
A third person wrote: “Man it’s great to see it finally made perfectly clear that what we all knew was true. I feel bad for the few people who believed he was natty.”
Taking steroids can be dangerous and pose a danger to growth and life. It is advised against taking them unless given the all clear by a medical professional.
What does Liver King's diet consist of?
Liver King maintains his physique by following a diet of raw beef liver, protein shakes, egg yolks and bone marrow.
He credits his insane physique as a result of him following the ancestral lifestyle.
This includes nine tenets, namely eating, sleeping, moving, shielding, connecting, cold, sun, fighting, and bonding.
Speaking to GQ, he said he eats around a pound of raw liver every day.
However he recommends others start with three ounces, two times a week.
He also lives a relatively minimalist lifestyle, sleeping on a bed made from wooden pallets.
