David Laid’s Biography

Early Life

Born in 1998 in Estonia, he progressively transformed from a skinny frame to one of the most enviable physiques in the fitness industry. When he was just 2 years, his father slipped off a docked ship and died. Devastated by the tragic event, David moved to the USA in search of a better life for herself and her son.

Bullied in school

David weighed only 98lbs at 14 years. David suffered a lot of ridicule and bullying, especially in school, due to his skinny frame. This made him very insecure about his body. Without a father figure to guide him, Laid’s early teenage life was full of self-confidence issues.

Scoliosis

To make matters worse, he was diagnosed with scoliosis. Doctors advised him to hit the gym and start weight training. However, the bullying never stopped, and this had a huge impact on his life. His insecurities affected every aspect of his life. A few years after the diagnosis, he decided to make a positive change in his life. He gained interest in fitness, which would eventually change his life for the better.

Transformation

David Laid started to consistently lift weights, adopting a fitness lifestyle. He was determined to transform from his skinny frame.

When he started lifting weights, he had zero knowledge about proper diet and training techniques. However, he was very passionate and watched YouTube videos to gain insight into building muscle. He came across many transformation videos, inspiring him to train harder on his fitness journey. Progress was quick, and his physique started taking shape. The body transformation videos also improved his confidence, making him more focused on the prospects rather than past adversities.

Fitness soon became his way of life. Within a few months of lifting weights, David had built a leaned body. He was no longer insecure about his body. There was no looking back for him; he was focused on achieving his dream physique.

He was thus eating high-calorie foods, allowing him to gain mass rapidly. He, therefore, can eat a wide variety of foods, as long as he monitors his calorie intake. He adjusts his calorie intake depending on his fitness goals. He thus has different calorie intakes depending on whether he is bulking, cutting or maintaining his weight.

David Laid takes simple supplements including multivitamins, creatine, pre-workout and whey protein.

What we can learn from David

David sought to make a positive change in his life instead of focusing on his insecurities. Through his passion and solid work ethic, he was able to transform his body and achieve his physique.

When he was starting out, he acknowledged that he was a newbie and thus sought advice from his idols among the fitness community. He is proof of what a dedicated mindset in the gym can achieve. David Laid has inspired many people, not just in the fitness community, to transform their lives and become better versions of themselves.
