Fitness influencer Clavicular told Sean Hannity that natural weight-training is a “complete waste of time” compared to the efficiency of using testosterone.

The decision led Clavicular to secretly acquireperformance-enhancing drugsat a young age, he shared.

“I used to have to camp out by the mailbox and pretend to be sick from school,” he said, adding that he intercepted shipments of testosterone at age 14 to hide them from his parents.

Hannity, a father of two, pointed out that many parents would react with anger and concern, prompting Clavicular to admit that his parents disciplined him repeatedly throughout histeenage years.

“Throughout high school, if I would do a f— up, I would get sent [to my grandmother’s],” he said.“Then, after I got expelled from university for peptides and ‘roids, that’s where I got sent off to.”
