TOKYO, JAPAN: PewDiePie or Felix Kjelberg, the once-reigning king of YouTube and influential content creator, sparked discussions among his fan base when an exercise scientist conducted a review of his gym equipment.

He lives in Tokyo with his wife, son, and their furry companions. Bur despite the low profile, any mention of his name continues to generate immediate buzz.
PewDiePie's gym equipment gets 'low budget' tag
In a recent YouTube video, Mike Israetel, a PhD in sports physiology and a prominent figure in bodybuilding, expressed surprise at PewDiePie's gym equipment.
Israetel created a video titled 'Exercise Scientist Critiques PewDiePie’s Training', where he delved into PewDiePie's workout routine.
The video began with Israetel commenting on the YouTuber's Swedish accent before shifting the focus to the equipment and gear used in the workout, a part that didn't quite impress Israetel.
PewDiePie, in his video, discussed his dedication to maintaining his physical fitness, highlighting a five-day training routine.
He shared his preference for working out with dumbbells and the transition of his gym from the basement garage to the living room. Emphasizing consistency in his workout routines, PewDiePie mentioned a few adjustments but generally stuck to his familiar regimen, starting with chest exercises.
Addressing PewDiePie's choice of equipment, Israetel exclaimed, “Woah that’s low budget. I thought this motherf**ker was making like a trillion dollars an hour on YouTube! Respect for not spending your money on dumbs**t like gym equipment.”
Israetel acknowledged that despite the seemingly basic equipment, PewDiePie could still achieve a well-built physique, emphasizing that fancy gear is not essential for fundamental exercises.
PewDiePie also revealed his use of a power block, approved by Israetel. Ultimately, the social media sensation emphasized the hard work required to attain the physical shape he's in, regardless of the equipment used.
