'''Clavicular''' (legal name '''Braden Peters''', b. c. 2005–2006) is an American livestreamer and the most visible looksmaxxing influencer of 2025–2026. The handle refers to clavicle width, a looksmaxxing measurement. By early 2026 he had been profiled in the ''New York Times'', ''The Atlantic'', ''The New Yorker'', GQ, Bloomberg, CNN, and Fox; walked a New York Fashion Week runway (Feb 2026); and generated, per a marketing firm cited by Bloomberg, on the order of '''2.2 billion''' short-form clip views in March–April 2026.
'''Braden Eric Peters''' (born 17 December 2005), known online as '''Clavicular''' or '''Clav''', is an American livestreamer and the most visible looksmaxxing influencer of 2025–2026.

This wiki treats him as a '''public figure of the scene''', not as a protocol. Medical claims he makes about himself are recorded as self-report.
This page is forked from the English Wikipedia article ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clavicular_(influencer) Clavicular (influencer)]'' (CC BY-SA) and expanded for this encyclopedia: scene, [[Official Chad Rankings]], surgery, and house links. Wikipedia is a biography of a living person. This wiki adds the looksmaxxing map. It does not treat his stack as a protocol.


== Self-reported stack ==
== Early life ==
In interviews he has said he began testosterone around age 14; uses stimulants for leanness (including, in some interviews, methamphetamine as appetite suppression); and has practiced [[bonesmashing]] (striking facial bone to induce microfracture). He livestreamed a two-hour [[male rhinoplasty|rhinoplasty]] in June 2026 (Hollywood Reporter). He has given his own measurements to the ''Times'' as about 6′2″, 31-inch waist, 19.5-inch clavicles. He has also said years of exogenous testosterone may have left him sterile, and that he would rather ''know he could'' attract women than have sex — "a big time saver."
Peters was born 17 December 2005 to a businessman father and a stay-at-home mother. He was raised in Hoboken, New Jersey, and attended Seton Hall Preparatory School in West Orange.<ref name="nyt" /> He has said he became interested in looksmaxxing in high school, including a political theory that becoming more attractive would let him influence others.


None of that is medical advice. [[Bonesmashing]] is described on this wiki as injury with a forum name. Stimulant and unprescribed androgen use are medical and legal matters, not softmaxxing.
He has described COVID lockdowns as "online for 14 hours a day": looksmaxxing forums, ''Grand Theft Auto V'', skipped classes. He has said he hid testosterone from his parents and was sent to his grandmother when caught. He claims expulsion from Sacred Heart University (Fairfield, Connecticut) after "three weeks" over "peptides and 'roids."


== Scene ==
The handle '''Clavicular''' is clavicle width, a looksmaxxing measurement.
He came up on [[Looksmax.org]] and Kick. A viral clip of him standing next to a broader man at Arizona State ("frame-mogged by ASU Frat Leader") became kayfabe: [[Androgenic]] flew from Australia; [[Official Chad Rankings]] shuffled. YouTube terminated associated channels (main banned Nov 2025; more in Apr 2026). He has appeared with manosphere streamers (Tates, Fuentes orbit) and used racial slurs on stream; that is part of the public record, not this encyclopedia's house voice.


On the PSL cartoon he is often called Chad / "giga." Independent raters put him in a high-6 to low-7 band depending on photo. The number is forum sport.
== Looksmaxxing content ==
By 2025 he was a primary Kick/TikTok looksmaxxing account. He instructs fans to "ascend" (become more attractive and, in the scene's claim, gain social and sexual power) and to "[[hardmaxxing|hardmaxx]]". Content mixes bodybuilding with facial aesthetics.
 
Self-reported stack, from interviews (''New York Times'', Fox, others): testosterone from age 14; anabolic steroids over years; crystal meth to stay thin; Accutane, retatrutide, nebivolol, Melanotan 2, nootropics listed on a February 2026 livestream during a ''Times'' interview. He has said exogenous testosterone made him infertile by 2025 via negative feedback, and that he would rather ''know he could'' attract women than have sex. Later coverage said he and girlfriend Lily Snyder were trying for a baby and he claimed a restart protocol. Record as self-report.
 
[[Bonesmashing]] (hammer or fist to bone, claimed microfracture/growth) is the practice this wiki describes as pseudoscience and injury. He has advocated it. This encyclopedia does not.
 
Late 2025 he sold "Clavicular System" / "Clavicular's Clan" at about $50/month (peptides, "ascend" guides). ''Rolling Stone'' (Charlie Sabgir, Jan 2026) paid $49 and wrote a hostile account of the academy.
 
YouTube terminated the original channel in November 2025 (regulated goods); more channels in April 2026 (ban evasion). Kick paid, per the ''Times'' (Feb 2026) and his own March 2026 stream, over $100,000 a month at peak. August 2026 he said he was moving off Kick/Stake toward Duel Casino as a "main character."
 
November 2025: a video of him injecting a then-17-year-old girlfriend with fat-dissolving peptides for jaw shape circulated. He later injected influencer Jenny Popach with Aqualyx on stream. Those are reported events, not how-tos.

Braden Eric Peters (born 17 December 2005), known online as Clavicular or Clav, is an American livestreamer and the most visible looksmaxxing influencer of 2025–2026. He became known on TikTok and Kick for incelosphere slang and for looksmaxxing content that includes bonesmashing, anabolic steroids, and — by his own account — methamphetamine as an appetite suppressant.[1]

This page is forked from the English Wikipedia article Clavicular (influencer) (CC BY-SA) and expanded for this encyclopedia: scene, Official Chad Rankings, surgery, and house links. Wikipedia is a biography of a living person. This wiki adds the looksmaxxing map. It does not treat his stack as a protocol.

Early life

Peters was born 17 December 2005 to a businessman father and a stay-at-home mother. He was raised in Hoboken, New Jersey, and attended Seton Hall Preparatory School in West Orange.[1] He has said he became interested in looksmaxxing in high school, including a political theory that becoming more attractive would let him influence others.

He has described COVID lockdowns as "online for 14 hours a day": looksmaxxing forums, Grand Theft Auto V, skipped classes. He has said he hid testosterone from his parents and was sent to his grandmother when caught. He claims expulsion from Sacred Heart University (Fairfield, Connecticut) after "three weeks" over "peptides and 'roids."

The handle Clavicular is clavicle width, a looksmaxxing measurement.

Looksmaxxing content

By 2025 he was a primary Kick/TikTok looksmaxxing account. He instructs fans to "ascend" (become more attractive and, in the scene's claim, gain social and sexual power) and to "hardmaxx". Content mixes bodybuilding with facial aesthetics.

Self-reported stack, from interviews (New York Times, Fox, others): testosterone from age 14; anabolic steroids over years; crystal meth to stay thin; Accutane, retatrutide, nebivolol, Melanotan 2, nootropics listed on a February 2026 livestream during a Times interview. He has said exogenous testosterone made him infertile by 2025 via negative feedback, and that he would rather know he could attract women than have sex. Later coverage said he and girlfriend Lily Snyder were trying for a baby and he claimed a restart protocol. Record as self-report.

Bonesmashing (hammer or fist to bone, claimed microfracture/growth) is the practice this wiki describes as pseudoscience and injury. He has advocated it. This encyclopedia does not.

Late 2025 he sold "Clavicular System" / "Clavicular's Clan" at about $50/month (peptides, "ascend" guides). Rolling Stone (Charlie Sabgir, Jan 2026) paid $49 and wrote a hostile account of the academy.

YouTube terminated the original channel in November 2025 (regulated goods); more channels in April 2026 (ban evasion). Kick paid, per the Times (Feb 2026) and his own March 2026 stream, over $100,000 a month at peak. August 2026 he said he was moving off Kick/Stake toward Duel Casino as a "main character."

November 2025: a video of him injecting a then-17-year-old girlfriend with fat-dissolving peptides for jaw shape circulated. He later injected influencer Jenny Popach with Aqualyx on stream. Those are reported events, not how-tos.

Modeling

Days after the Arizona arrest he walked a looksmaxxing-themed NYC runway for Elena Velez / Remilia (Times; Spectator: "star of the evening"). June 2026: opened a Paris SS27 presentation (falsely reported as a debut).

Clavicular is why civilians know PSL scale, mog, bonesmashing, and "maxxing" as a suffix. He is not the inventor of the practice (Looksmax.org, PSL forums, 2010s). He is the clip-account protagonist.
