Clavicular’s EXTREME Looks-Maxing Techniques For Attracting Women
In the hyper-competitive world of online “looksmaxxing” in late 2025, figures like Clavicular (real name Braden Peters), the 19-year-old Kick streamer and forum moderator, have captured massive attention. He’s undeniably good-looking, sharp-witted, and has “ascended” from average to striking through relentless self-optimization. But his methods—often involving hormone manipulation, dangerous substances, and invasive surgeries—go far beyond what most people need or should pursue. While Clavicular’s charisma and results draw followers, many of his techniques stem from a place of obsession that borders on mental health concerns, prioritizing shock value and attention over sustainable health. Here, we spotlight some of his most extreme approaches (like TRT, methamphetamine use, height surgery, and bone smashing) and strongly discourage them. Instead, embrace tried-and-true natural routes for real, lasting appeal.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and Steroids: Hormone Hacking Gone Wrong
Clavicular has openly discussed starting testosterone at age 14, leading to wrecked natural hormone production and lifelong TRT dependency. He streams injections of steroids, fillers, and peptides, claiming they boost masculinity and frame. But this is overkill: messing with hormones can cause irreversible issues like infertility, gynecomastia (breast tissue growth), acne, hair loss, liver damage, and mood disorders—including aggression or depression that could stem from underlying mental health struggles.
We encourage NONE of this. Natural alternatives? Hit the gym with compound lifts (squats, deadlifts, bench presses) 3–5 times a week, eat a protein-rich diet (lean meats, eggs, nuts), and get 7–9 hours of sleep nightly. These build real muscle and testosterone levels safely, enhancing confidence and attractiveness without needles or lifelong meds. Studies show consistent exercise boosts T-levels by 15–20% in healthy men—no TRT required.
Methamphetamine Use: A Dangerous Shortcut to Leanness
Shockingly, Clavicular has admitted to using crystal methamphetamine (meth) for appetite suppression to achieve “hollow cheeks” and extreme leanness. He frames it as a “stimulant” for looksmaxxing, but this illegal drug ravages the body: it causes addiction, heart problems, dental decay (“meth mouth”), psychosis, and rapid aging—ironically undermining any aesthetic gains. It’s a red flag for deeper issues like body dysmorphia, where attention-seeking overshadows health.
Absolutely avoid this—it’s life-destroying. Go natural: Focus on calorie-controlled eating (track with an app like MyFitnessPal), intermittent fasting (e.g., 16:8 window), and cardio (running or HIIT 20–30 minutes daily). Combine with strength training to sculpt a lean physique. Real women value vitality over gauntness; sustainable fat loss (aim for 1–2 lbs/week) looks better and feels empowering.
Height Surgery: Limb-Lengthening for Perceived Superiority
Clavicular has justified plans for height surgery (limb-lengthening via distraction osteogenesis) to stretch from 6’2” to 6’6”, spending over $100k despite already being tall. This involves breaking bones, inserting rods, and months of painful recovery—risking infection, nerve damage, blood clots, and lifelong mobility issues. It’s an extreme response to “heightism” blackpills, often fueled by insecurity rather than necessity.
We discourage this entirely—it’s unnecessary and hazardous. Natural boosts? Improve posture with yoga or Pilates (adds 1–2 inches visually), wear lifts in shoes if needed (subtly), and build a strong presence through charisma and style. Height matters less than you think; confidence and personality attract far more. Data from dating apps shows women prioritize kindness and humor over extra inches.
Bone Smashing: Pseudoscience with Real Dangers
Popularized in looksmaxxing circles (and reacted to by experts debunking Clavicular’s influence), “bone smashing” involves self-inflicted trauma (e.g., hammering the jaw or cheeks) to supposedly trigger Wolff’s Law for bone remodeling and sharper features. In reality, it’s quackery: it causes fractures, swelling, asymmetry, nerve damage, and potential brain injury—pure masochism often linked to mental health red flags like self-harm tendencies.
Never attempt this—it’s harmful and ineffective. Opt for natural facial enhancement: Chew gum or use mewing techniques for jaw strength, maintain low body fat for definition, and practice skincare (cleansing, moisturizing, sunscreen). A genuine smile and good grooming go further than bruised bones.
The Takeaway: Natural Over Extreme for True Attraction
Clavicular is talented and attractive, no doubt—but his extremes highlight how looksmaxxing can spiral into unhealthy obsession, driven by mental health challenges and a quest for online clout. Most people don’t need to go this far; over 90% of attractiveness comes from basics like fitness, hygiene, and mindset. Women are drawn to balanced, healthy men—not surgical experiments. Consult doctors for any changes, prioritize mental well-being (therapy if needed), and remember: true “maxxing” is about self-improvement, not self-destruction. Ascend naturally, and the results will speak for themselves.
