He was 14 when he realized that he was too skinny, and wanting to look better, as well as to deal with scoliosis that he had just been diagnosed with, David began going to the gym; although he launched his YouTube channel in 2009, but his debut video “David Laid 18 Month Transformation 14-15 Year Old” wasn’t uploaded until 22 December 2013, and shows his progress in only 18 months; the video’s since been watched close to five million times, and it’s today his third most watched video on the network.
