A dramatic transformation has put internet personality Clavicular back in the spotlight after the 'manosphere' streamer revealed the physical and emotional effects of stopping testosterone for just four weeks.
Braden Peters, better known online as Clavicular, has built his public image around 'looksmaxxing' — an internet trend focused on maximising physical appearance through intense fitness routines, facial aesthetics and controversial enhancement methods. Over the past year, the streamer has attracted millions of views while documenting his body transformation and promoting extreme appearance-focused practices.
Now, however, the influencer is drawing attention for a very different reason. After reportedly stoppingtestosterone usefor around a month, Clavicular shared a candid update showing noticeable physical changes and describing the emotional toll the break had taken on him, sparking widespread debate across social media about hormone use and its effects.
The discussion erupted after viral images comparing Clavicular before and after his testosterone break circulated online. The side-by-side photos appeared to show visible changes in muscle mass and overall physique after only four weeks without the hormone.

The influencer, known for displaying an extremely muscular build, appeared noticeably leaner in the newer image. While differences in lighting, posture and camera angles may have influenced perceptions, the images drew significant engagement across social media, with viewers commenting on how quickly his appearance seemed to change.
The revelation quickly gained traction because Clavicular's online identity has long been tied to physical optimisation. His content regularly centres on appearance enhancement, including discussions about testosterone use and controversial 'bone smashing' techniques aimed at altering facial structure.
According toreports, Clavicular stopped using testosterone after his mother removed his access to the substance. The break reportedly lasted about four weeks.
The streamer later suggested that fertility concerns were also part of the decision. Medical experts have long noted that long-term testosterone use can affect sperm production because external testosterone may suppress the body's natural hormone signals involved in fertility. Recovery is often possible, although outcomes vary depending on dosage, duration of use and individual health factors.
Clavicular previously stated on the RAWTALK podcast that he began using testosterone at just 14 years old. He said the goal was not height growth but what he described as 'facial masculinisation' and developing a more masculine appearance early in life.
