Fitness Influencer's One-Shoulder Challenge Sparks Health Warnings

  • A 20-year-old influencer, 'The Crooked Man', trained only one shoulder for 300 days to create an asymmetrical physique.
  • His challenge, 'looksminimiser', was a counter-trend to TikTok's 'looksmaxing', aiming to attract attention differently.
  • He documented his journey on Instagram, showcasing his uneven physical appearance with one larger arm and shoulder.
  • Dr. Suhail Hussain warned that this practice is risky, leading to musculoskeletal imbalance, spinal misalignment, and chronic pain.
  • The influencer maintained a high-protein diet including ground beef, eggs, and protein powder during his challenge.
