YouTuber David Dobrik Shares Radical Body Transformation ‘Years in the Making'

YouTuber David Dobrik finally shared his first health update in almost three years, showing off his radical physical transformation to fans.

On Jan. 7, Dobrik uploaded a celebratory side-by-side photo in which he showed off his impressive six-pack abs after a fitness journey which was “a year in the making.” The other panel of the photo showed Dobrik’s body from several years ago, highlighting his triumphant improvement which was achieved with the help of his friend snd trainer Ilya Fedorovich.

"I couldn’t be more grateful for the people around me that pushed me this year to be a better version of myself,” he captioned the post. “I owe everything to all my friends and especially Ilya who has literally changed my life," he wrote. "I love ya, dude. I don’t feel like pudding anymore!!!!"

A short time later, the influencer followed up the photo with a video of himself admiring his new physique. As he flexes his muscles and shows himself from different angles, Dobrik grins from ear-to-ear, unable to hide his elation.

In addition to developing his six-pack and adding 10.5 pounds of muscle, Dobrik significantly decreased his body fat by more than half, going from 27.8 percent to 13.1 percent. "This is the moment I'm realizing that I need to make some health changes," he said in a December 2023 interview which is excerpted in the recent YouTube video. "This is crazy that I look like this,” he continued. “I don't know what happened.”

“I've never, ever taken my health seriously,” Dobrik admitted. “I've always told myself [I’ll get in shape], like, 'The next month. The next year. When I'm done with this vlog. When I'm done with the vlog.'” But, "Enough is enough," he determined in 2023. "I have no excuses left.”
