Many people want to know if Brandon Carter, the man behind the YouTube fitness channel HighLifeWorkout, is natural or on steroids. Well, it’s time to find out.
According to the information presented in Brandon Carter’s profile on Modelmayhem.com, he has the following stats:
Height: 6’2″ (188cm)
Weight: 175lbs (79.5kg)
Chest: 40 inches (101.6cm)
Nattyornot.com’s guide for natural bodybuilders says that the maximum bodyweight of a 6’2” tall man is 197lbs (89.5kg) in contest condition (5-8% body fat). Therefore, the stats above put Brandon Carter 22lbs below the maximum.
However, his physique is not exactly small. He looks like a big guy, doesn’t he? Moreover, Brandon Carter’s 40-inch chest makes the data a little hard to accept.
Most men who are 6’2″ will have a 40-inch chest without even training whereas Carter’s pecs are one of his best body parts. Therefore, we cannot make definitive statements based on his body stats.
Oh, God! Please, give me good genetics so I can flex and impress.
Brandon Carter is gifted. He is tall and has full muscle bellies that make his arms look complete and massive. In addition, Carter has a nice chest and abs which is pretty much a requirement for a fitness model.
In the video above, you can see Brandon Carter training legs. We chose this particular clip as a reference point since in other videos his legs are covered, and it’s harder to judge his entire physique.
Carter has a very balanced physique. Even his legs are well developed and separated. He is not an upper body captain by any means.
This makes it even harder to accept the statement that he is only 175lbs at 6’2″. He looks close to 190lbs. However, we obviously can’t know that for sure.
Sometimes a combination of quality muscle mass, angle manipulation and lighting can create an almost unbelievable illusion.
In conclusion
The physique of Brandon Carter is achievable naturally by some individuals. What makes him so special is his structure and conditioning. People with good genetics can definitely be 175lbs and absolutely shredded at 6’2″.
Nonetheless, we have a really hard time accepting that Brandon Carter weighs only 175lbs and has a 40-inch chest.

what workout does he recommend for the jaw?
NOT achievable naturally – traps for a start won’t bloat up like that without roids.
Besides, he was already putting up videos of his TRT use before this article. He immediately ‘accidentally’ double his prescribed amount of 1.5ml/week, and a year later he was on 10x the prescription dose (replacing 10x the amount for ‘normal’ levels).
Yet he still looks the same as when he claimed to be natty.
If his testosterone levels required TRT it was due to damaging his testicles with steroid abuse over the years.
Basically, he has become slightly more honest and stopped taking steroids illegally – although I suspect he’s part of the new breed of fake TRT-only fitness models, who are actually still taking additional PEDs illegally.
He’s become one of those hedonistic ‘millionaire’ lifestyle influencers too now.
