The sly wit of this documentary shines through as it follows a toxically masculine fitness influencer who consumes so many raw animal organs you can almost taste the salmonella. It is frequently hilarious

LK: "I'm not taking any steroids!"
Narrator: "He took so many steroids."

As usual, self help gurus are scammers. Macho self help gurus are dangerous. What an absolute trash person. Hope his kids will be OK.

When I read this article I thought it was a mock-u-mentary. I didn’t realize this was real life until your post wth.

Having piously attributed his inhumanly buff, conker-y body to the benefits of eating dicks and going on podcasts, it is proved that Johnson has, in fact, been injecting steroids to the tune of more than $11,000 a month.

Hahaha

Dr Mike just did another Liver King video and he's definitely lapsed into severe mental illness territory, more-so than before

The YT channel is "Renaissance Periodisation" for anyone interested in Bodybuilding/Steroids/Fitness/Dick Jokes.

Dr Mike is one of my favorite people, I genuinely think he would probably be a fun guy to hang out with.

Mike Israetel from RP on YouTube has at least two videos reviewing his "fitness". That was literally all I needed to see.

He put out a video just yesterday on him.

Nearly every comment on that video sounds like they didn't even watch the trailer.

70 minutes is short enough that I might actually watch this one

Yes, I was thinking the same, but a part of me thinks we shouldn’t be giving these people the attention. It’s a self perpetuating illness. Others, even less deranged, may be tempted to copy if it gains popularity.
