Inside Clavicular's daily routine
A breakdown of the looksmaxxing influencer's daily schedule, from soft maxxing practices to extreme methods.
Inside Clavicular's daily routine
Braden Peters wakes up at 6 AM in his Miami apartment, weighing 180 pounds at 6'2" with a 31-inch waist. By noon, he'll have completed a morning skincare routine, jaw exercises, and posture drills. By midnight, he'll have streamed for eight hours to tens of thousands of viewers. His pseudonym, Clavicular, comes from his 19.5-inch biacromial width, the measurement across his collarbones.
At 20 years old, he's become the most recognized figure in the looksmaxxing subculture, an internet movement focused on men maximizing their physical appearance through any means available.
The morning protocol
Clavicular's day starts with what he calls "soft maxxing," the low-risk practices that form the foundation of his routine. Mewing comes first: pressing the tongue against the roof of the mouth to supposedly improve jaw definition over time. Whether it actually works is debated, but it costs nothing and carries no risk.
Then comes posture work. Chin tucks, chest stretches, and shoulder blade squeezes, all filmed regularly for his audience. The theory is straightforward: better posture creates the illusion of a longer neck, broader shoulders, and a more defined jawline. This part of his advice holds up well. Poor posture genuinely makes you look worse, and correcting it is one of the highest-return changes you can make for free.
His skincare routine is extensive: cleansers, retinoids, moisturizers, sunscreen. He's open about using Accutane for acne, a prescription medication with real side effects but proven results when used under medical supervision.
The training
His workout approach emphasizes leanness over mass. High-protein meals built around egg whites, grilled chicken, fish, and turkey. Cardio and calisthenics to keep body fat low. The goal is facial definition: a bloated face hides bone structure, while a lean face reveals it.
This part of his routine is grounded in basic fitness principles. Eat protein, stay lean, train consistently. If Clavicular only promoted this tier of advice, he'd be another fitness influencer with good genetics and a dedicated audience.
Where it gets extreme
The practices that made Clavicular famous are the ones that make doctors wince.
Bone smashing is exactly what it sounds like: striking facial bones with a hammer or fist, believing they'll grow back stronger. The theory draws on Wolff's Law, which states that bones adapt to stress. The problem is that Wolff's Law describes gradual adaptation over years of loading, not acute blunt trauma. Hitting your face with a hammer is more likely to cause fractures, nerve damage, and disfigurement than any structural improvement.
His supplement stack includes testosterone, dutasteride for hair preservation, minoxidil for growth, and anavar, an anabolic steroid. He's been open about starting testosterone injections at 14. Dr. Jason Nagata, a physician who studies these communities, notes that anabolic steroids carry risks of heart attacks, strokes, and liver problems. In adolescents, the risks multiply because the body is still developing.
He's also discussed using methamphetamine to suppress appetite and hollow out his cheeks, which crosses from optimization into self-destructive territory.
The irony is that some of his compounds work against each other. Testosterone and anavar both trigger acne as a side effect, undermining the Accutane he takes to treat it. Parts of his regimen are actively self-defeating.
The streaming grind
By afternoon, Clavicular is live on Kick. His streams run eight hours, a full workday of talking to chat, answering questions about appearance, and dispensing advice. His peak concurrent viewership hit nearly 59,000 in March 2026.
The content mixes practical tips with extreme recommendations. One segment might cover proper lighting for photos, and the next might detail his plans for bimaxillary osteotomy (double jaw surgery) and eventual limb lengthening to add height.
His audience skews young and male: teenagers and twenty-somethings who grew up on forums where facial ratios get measured to decimal points. Clavicular speaks their language because he came from the same places. Before TikTok, he documented his experiments on Looksmax.org.
What actually works
Strip away the dangerous stuff and some of his advice holds real merit.
Posture correction is one of the easiest appearance upgrades available. A forward head and rounded shoulders genuinely make you look worse, and the fix requires zero equipment.
Leanness reveals bone structure. You don't need drugs to get there. A caloric deficit and patience will do it.
Skincare improves appearance with decades of research to back it up. Retinoids, sunscreen, and moisturizer are well-established.
Grooming details compound over time. Haircuts, eyebrow maintenance, clothing fit. Small changes stack.
Sleep affects everything from skin quality to under-eye darkness to facial puffiness. Eight hours does more than most supplements on the market.
The uncomfortable truth
Clavicular represents something real in how young men think about appearance. The looksmaxxing community emerged because conventional advice ("just be confident") feels hollow to guys who've been rejected and want concrete, actionable steps.
The problem is that those concrete steps have escalated from skincare routines to methamphetamine. The community rewards extremity: moderate advice gets ignored while dangerous advice goes viral.
Clavicular is 20. He's been injecting testosterone since middle school and streams eight hours a day discussing facial bone structure. His influence is enormous, and his recommendations can cause permanent harm to the teenagers watching.
The daily routine itself, the mewing, the posture work, the protein and cardio, is reasonable. The substances layered on top are where the danger lives. Copying his soft maxxing practices will probably help you. Copying his hard maxxing practices could land you in a hospital.
