David Dobrik Returns to Social Media With a Six-Pack
David Dobrik made his social media comeback, launching his return with a shredded physical transformation that has fans shocked.
The YouTuber—who has over 17 million subscribers—shared his first video yesterday since March 2022. He titled the recent post, "Surprising friends with body transformation!!" in all caps.
Dobrik's nearly three-year hiatus was prompted by a series of allegations and controversies that placed him at the center of public scrutiny.
According to the YouTube video, Dobrik lowered his body fat from 27.8 percent to 13.1 percent. He also put on 10.5 pounds of muscle throughout the year, giving credit to his support system for the inspiration.
"I couldn’t be more grateful for the people around me that pushed me this year to be a better version of myself," he writes in his Instagram caption. "I owe everything to all my friends and especially Ilya who has literally changed my life. I love ya dude. I don’t feel like pudding anymore!"
Ilya Fedorovich, to whom Dobrik refers in this caption, is a personal trainer, along with the founder and CEO of Xeela Fitness.
Fedorovich and Dobrik also happen to be close friends. Dobrik now appears as a trainer listed on the Xeela Fitness website, and Fedorovich is a co-founder of Doughbrik's Pizza—Dobrik's restaurant.
The recent YouTube video starts with Dobrik talking to Fedorovich, telling him he wants to do the Xeela transformation with him.
Jokingly, Fedorovich asks what makes this different from their previous two attempts.
"This is the moment I'm realizing that I need to make some health changes. This is crazy that I look like this. I don't know what happened. I've never, ever taken my health seriously. I've always told myself, like 'the next month. The next year. When I'm done with this vlog," Dobrik said in a clip included in the video from December 2023.
