We’ve all seen the David Dobrik transformation pictures. The YouTuber went from your average Joe to the guy she told you not to worry about in just a year.
Under the guidance of good friend and Xeela Fitness owner, Ilya Fedorovich, Dobrik dropped from 27.8% body fat to 13.1%.
The 28-year-old literally put blood, sweat, and tears into his fitness overhaul, documenting his workouts around the globe and sharing them with his 70 million followers across all platforms.
The results were nothing short of incredible. Dobrik’s dad bod was replaced by rippling abs and a shredded physique that most could only dream of.
David Dobrik Transformation: Is He A Fake Natty?
While his stunning turnaround was rightly praised by scores of fitness fans across the internet, some were slightly more skeptical.
In a recent episode of the hit podcast The Iced Coffee Hour, hosted by Graham Stephan and Jack Selby, YouTuber, fitness coach, and IFBB pro bodybuilder Greg Doucette questioned whether it was purely down to hard work.
When asked who the biggest “fake natty” is, Doucette emphatically replied: “David Dobrik – this guy is not natural.”
Stephan, who also owns Bankroll Coffee, was quick to play devil’s advocate, arguing that the David Dobrik transformation could have been possible with nothing more than strict discipline.
He said: “David Dobrik, to me, seems like that would be totally achievable if you do nothing but eat really well, lift weights every day, have a trainer, a nutritionist. Why couldn’t you achieve that physique?”
However, Doucette stuck to his guns and doubled down on the claim: “You absolutely could if you had elite-level genetics,” he continued. “His genetics aren’t as good.”
Asked what Dobrik could have taken to sculpt his new physique, Doucette added: “Maybe some SARMs, HRT, or peptides.
“If you have millions of dollars and access to money, why wouldn’t he use something? It’s not illegal – so why wouldn’t he do it?”
Dobrik has publicly shot down rumors that he’s taking steroids, but fitness sleuths still believe his answer is open to interpretation, pointing out he could still be using another form of performance-enhancing drug.
