Popular bodybuilder Kali Muscle was hospitalized after allegedly losing consciousness at a California gym.
TMZ reports that Muscle, whose real name is Chuck Kirkendall, fainted while exercising at a fitness center in California, according to his ex-wife. He was allegedly rushed to the hospital to be treated, but his ex doesn’t know why he fell unconscious or how he’s currently doing.
She also said that Kirkendall had a heart attack before and had to have a stent inserted into his heart to restore proper blood flow. The situation she’s most likely referring to is when he shared a video announcing a heart attack in 2021. In the video, he claimed that the heart attack occurred because his left artery was fully clogged.
“Health is everything,” he stated in the video. “God is using me as an example.”
In addition to heart issues, Kirkendall has admitted to dealing with edema in the past, which has caused his feet and ankles to swell due to excess fluids.
Kirkendall is one of the most popular gym influencers on YouTube and TikTok. He’s been on YouTube for more than 15 years and has nearly 4 million subscribers on the platform.
