Who Is Clavicular? 5 Things to Know About the Controversial ‘Looksmaxxing’ Streamer
Clavicular, aka Braden Eric Peters, is a controversial influencer known for extreme looksmaxxing, multiple arrests, and his 39/month online program for young men.
Online streamer and influencer Clavicular — whose real name is Braden Eric Peters — rose to fame in 2025 due to his controversial content. However, it’s his wild behavior that’s kept him in the spotlight.
Here are five things to know about Clavicular.
Clavicular First Began ‘Looksmaxxing’ in High School
The Hoboken, New Jersey, native became incredibly focused on “looksmaxxing” when he was just 14 years old. The term “looksmaxxing” first became popular in involuntarily celibate (incel) forums and it essentially refers to when a man attempts to become as physically attractive as possible.
Clavicular first began injecting himself with testosterone and working out during the Covid-19 pandemic. After seeing YouTube videos about how the two combined could quickly progress his physique, something he refers to as “ascending.”
“I see ascending as basically like becoming a better looking version of yourself,” Clavicular said during an interview with the New York Times in February.
He Claims He Went to Extreme Measures While ‘Looksmaxxing’
After his parents discovered he was injecting himself with mail-order testosterone, they threw away his supply. Instead of stopping, he set up a P.O. box where he could have his items shipped.
“I used crystal meth as a stimulant and to ‘leanmax,’” Clavicular told podcast host Brad Polombo in December 2025 during an appearance on the Brad Vs. Everyone podcast, adding that he was using the drug for “hollow cheeks.”
He’s also previously claimed to have hit himself in the face with a hammer to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing look, according to the New York Times.
Clavicular Offers an Online Program to Help Young Men Learn How to ‘Looksmax’
For $39 a month, other young men can gain access to Clavicular’s system.
According to his website, The “Clavicular System” offers “100+ structured courses — aesthetics, skincare protocols, nootropics, pharmacology, social calibration, and presentation, weekly live Zoom calls for real-time strategy and progress review, direct message access to me and members just as locked in as you are, new exclusive guides dropped weekly to keep you ahead and a moderated space with zero tolerance for low-effort participation.”
He’s Been Arrested Multiple Times
In February, Clavicular was taken into custody after authorities accused him of carrying a forged document, presenting a fake ID and potentially possessing dangerous substances.
According to KTAR News, the drugs were later identified as Adderall and Anavar, and the situation began when he allegedly used false identification to enter a bar. Prosecutors ultimately chose not to pursue charges.
The following month he was arrested again on battery charges after he reportedly provoked a fight between two women in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and then posted the video online.
Clavicular Overdosed in April 2026
On April 14, the influencer appeared to overdose in the middle of a livestream. Clavicular was with two other streamers at a mall when the video cut off abruptly.
He was rushed to the hospital but was released the following day and addressed the situation.
“Just got home, that was brutal. All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution,” Clavicular wrote alongside a photo of himself with blood on his face that he shared via X. “The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask.”
