Dana, I'm 67 at 32 I was competing, I remember one night I couldn't get out of the bath tub I was so sore from leg training. My husband came in to the bath room as I was trying to lift my self out. He said, You call this healthy. We got a divorce. I just wanted him to admire me and I was getting admiration from other men. I gave up entirely when I was raising my daughter as a single mom. I started again at 66! LOL I look better at 120 now than I did at 120 off season in my 30's. I was so over trained, so underfed all of it...I seriously look hot at 67 but it is so easy to not count calories, carbs, training etc. just like you said. I have no reason to get hard on myself especially at 67. I'm just now getting my head on straight. I will get older, my skin will sag some day. I get so many compliments now! but why am I beating myself up growing my delts! hahahaha, but they are growing! My daughters boyfriend asked me if I was getting help. LOL It's fun, can I leave it at that. I enjoy being strong. I enjoy teaching this stuff to lady's who admire me at this age... Thank you Dana, This was awesome. I love your training tips cause the gym can get boring, It's not easy getting older and seeing it but it's going to happen. I need grand kids hahahaha. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You know why I love you? because you are funny, giggly and relaxed about the food. YOu have a good partner who is looking after your well being. I think you got this...don't stop the videos especially with Kristen Nun. you guys crack me up. I need a training partner to just make training fun...Maybe we shouldn't put limits on ourselves and just make it fun.

[@jacinda0406ify]

Absolutely LOVE this comment!! 💓

[@plamenapeneva7901]

Enjoying the process of growing ourselves physically and mentally is the key 🔑 ❤GYM is life 💪

[@erikverstrepen3373]

Met you and Rob at Bodypower in may 2019. Remember that line ? Huge ! You were the 1st in your olympia class, but you won millions of hearts way before. And still. Just be you, ain’t no trophy gonna top that D. Sincerely, Erik V, Belgium.

[@Sharkdog11b]

Getting first isn’t why we love you Dana, you being your authentic self daily is why we love you, winning is just a bonus

[@bambidragonfire1706]

Retired this year as an IFBB PRO. I'm 47 with Graves Disease at the age of 25, fibromyalgia, and colon cancer at 35. The same thing happened to me. Body had had enough. Besides how healthy is it? It's not one bit and I didn't want people to look at me and think I'm healthy. Slowly getting real health back. Been watching you since I can remember. Thank you for being honest!

[@Stoner7482]

It’s so amazing to see the evolution of woman in this industry.

[@Hermes1976]

You said don't worry I'm not making a Podcast. You and K Nunn NEED to make a podcast!!!!! WTF are ya waiting for. You are what I need with my morning coffee and drive to work!!!!

[@UnleashedGraffixx]

Dana, I started following your videos back in 2013 and I don't even remember who won first place at that last Olympia. You were always the star of the show to me and I don't think a lot of competitors will ever understand. You became an influencer in the best way. Not to mention you've lifted and hung out with some monsters in the industry like CT Fletcher, Kai Greene and Jay Cutler. Plus, you are hilarious!

[@tjan3938]

❤ you Dana. If you actually did a podcast I believe everyone would watch. The biggest podcast is trainers who used to compete years ago and they talk about nutrition, mistakes when training, how training changes when you get older and random stuff about gut health and having doctors on the show. I used compete in the early 90's. Prep really sucked back then. I was natural. Seems that I under ate all the time going to a sports nutritionist. It finally took a bad reaction to change my ways. Turns out I cannot eat carbs anymore. No gluten, flour, grains, nuts and seeds, sugar, vegetables and egg whites. I have eaten nothing but animal products for over 8 years and it has been amazing. I can gain muscle at 51.

[@SakuraBarrientos]

I’ve been watching you and Rob since “the early days”. I miss watching you prep for competition but as with anything in life, there’s evolution. Trust me-I get it. And I can relate to so much of what you spoke about. To this day, like what…15+ years later…I still want to meet you and tell you how much you’ve impacted my life. I’ve been struggling with my weight, my body and my mind. But I find myself coming back for spells…like, I’ll spend a few days just watching your old videos. Always coming back. Always. And now I’m just rambling. But thank you for being you and for just telling it like it is. Again, one day I’ll have the pleasure of meeting you and Rob and I hope I can tell you face-to-face just how much of a badass you are and how grateful I am to have stumbled across your videos one day. They’ve changed my life in more ways than you’ll ever know. ❤ Love you, Day.

[@aprilmariewilliams7447]

I loved this. You were the first female fitness athlete I started following and I will always continue to whether you are on or off stage! You still motivate me and meeting you at fitcon Dallas Will always be something I remember!

Did not watch the whole video but I remember you saying my husband said we are not doing it anymore and that’s an amazing statement and very respectable comment. People can take it as they will

[@lianabeck2578]

Thank you for sharing ! I’ve been following you for at least 10 years, and Rob was right! Your fans love you as a person. I’ve been training with you on your app. You’re one of the very few people I would actually stand in a line to meet and take a picture with. Keep doing you.!!💕💪🏽

[@karlagutierrez6844]

I have followed you for years and remember when flag nor fail started! You rock no matter what. Love you and Rob! ❤❤

[@dougeisenhard6816]

I know you guys still have soooo many things on your plate but maybe now it can be a piece of pie AND happiness with friends with zero guilt. You’ve done your time and we’ve all benefited and are still benefiting from who you guys REALLy are. Amen. And amen. You guys rock.

[@matthewmarquez994]

I really needed this!! I have my first show in 19 days and while I’m nervous I’m still excited. However, hearing this just reminds me that I can still encourage others without going on stage. Thank you Dana! Huge respect!!

[@bugsybugs2253]

All the very best with your first show. Let your excitement overtake the nerves. And most importantly, enjoy the moment. You'll always remember your first! ❤

[@bugsybugs2253]

You are one of the only fitness people I follow. I see most influences doing this for money and fans not for the genuine love of perfecting their mind and body through hard work. The filters, costumes and editing piss me off. I KNOW that you know what the fuck you're doing and saying. That's why you're a pro and the best in the world. I bow my hands down to you! ❤

[@focus2099]

You don't need to compete, you're the bomb and just have never came across fake or arrogant, always seemed very humble and natural.

[@tymswitzer1410]

I rarely comment on KZbin content, but this compelled me. This is one of the most real things I've ever seen you do. I met you and Rob years ago in Ohio... have always thought highly of both of you. I think what you spoke about in regard to the mental health aspects of competing is super important for a lot of people to hear. My wife always suffered from body image issues... she struggled mentally and emotionally with self image her entire life. Her dream at one time was to compete and she put herself through hell trying to do something her physiology just wouldn't let her do. It took years for her to understand that living and being healthy was more important than a few pictures of a body in an unhealthy extremely temporary state. I just lost her to cancer in December... I wish she could have appreciated herself more while she was here. A weekly podcast may be a bit much as you provide so much content in your videos, but maybe an occasional "DLB Keeping It Real" segment like this one where you talk about the real stuff would be a guiding light for more women (and men) who struggle with body image and make poor decisions that ultimately hurt them... and also give people who may be on the wrong path already a perspective that helps them get back to good. You may not read these comments, but you done good lady. You're a great human. ☮

[@DanaLinnBailey]

Thank you for taking the time to write this.

[@Ailieorz]

As a natty powerlifter, I felt your comment about knowing what your body can do and not being able to compete. Both fields are rife with PEDs and it's both depressing and disheartening to see the competition lists full of women who are absolutely on the juice (but trying to convince everyone they're not)

[@MsJessyJess]

I just posted this exact sentiment in a Women over 40 BB group and they're very testy about it and get super defensive. It's always been in the industry but PEDs are illegal so they don't like to talk about it. I feel like it gives a fale hope of what someone is actully capable of.

[@Ailieorz]

@@MsJessyJess the frustrating thing is that many women are legitimately strong, but now everyone looks at strong women and automatically goes "ROIDS!" if we have even the slightest muscle or lift big numbers

[@MsJessyJess]

@@Ailieorz that's a separate scenario, and I can understand some people are genetically gifted but this industry really is riddled with going all the way back to people like Arnold Schwarzenegger

[@Ailieorz]

@@MsJessyJess I think you've missed my point. It's so rife now that people don't believe that women can actually be naturally strong or buff. I know many natty lifters who have all been assumed to be using PEDs simply because they're good. Women are more capable than people think but it's more convenient to just assume we're naturally weak so men feel better about themselves. Anyone thicker than Gal Gadot simply has to have used drugs because women can't possibly build muscle, when we absolutely can. It's just more misogyny

[@tomadavi8097]

You are and have been a Champion 🏆 On and off the bodybuilding stage! You are a first place winner because of who you are not because of what you look like. Keep on keeping on.

[@ginawierzbowski2847]

I saw a podcast last week speculating about you. TBH, seemed very small and mean spirited to me. I like your content because you’re smart, relatable,and a good role model to me. Kudos to you for speaking out in this way, it’s not easy to put yourself out there. Keep being you, we love you!

[@j24s1]

If you had a podcast my ears would be glued. You are so awesome and truly an inspiration. I am way older, but trying to get like you❤. Thank you for every lesson.

Orthorexia is what a lot of those things, when combined, are called. I have struggled with a lot of that behavior throughout the years myself. Thanks for sharing, Dana :)

[@sarsmorris7281]

i follow and watch you for YOU and your knowledge not what you've done or supposedly doing you inspire me to keep focused and push my self 💯 👌🏼 💪🏼

[@jpmerlo4094]

Thank you so much for your openness and honesty. I have just taken up the gym when I turn 50! And you have taught me a lot. I appreciate all of your wisdom. And always remember real workers don’t ever retire we only take breaks! Keep on keeping on!

[@robvigesaa5738]

I could really feel your heart coming through on this one, Dana. I've followed you and Rob since before your Olympia win. I've always wondered why you stepped away from competing, especially after reaching the very top. Hearing this all from you, it makes perfect sense. That fire is still there, you're just bringing it forth in new ways. My respect for you has only grown over the years, and I still look up to you and Rob like I always have. Thanks Dana

[@dextergarner1286]

Respect for touching on George’s help/ teachings in guiding you in competition.

[@SabrinaTaylor-f7m]

Amazing. I am just beginning my journey of getting into the gym. Has been amazing so far. Such an inspiration to keep going and losing more weight, increasing muscle. Especially gaining confidence in myself. Is the hardest.

[@MichelleFouche1]

Been there, done that, got the T shirt. You are right Dana, you are SO much more than competing ❤ You inspire me and I'm so grateful to you ❤

Actually (when hearing you out with this “interview”), I actually realized I have to do my regular workout. And I thank you Dana And Your Man for making you best. “Hats off to both of you, seriously and literally.”

[@jadedimer2004]

You articulated that so well. I think life moves in phases. We aren't meant to be the same person all the way through. Get excited about who you are creating next. Don't be sad that that version of you isn't you anymore but be proud that it even ever happened. Rob was right, people follow you because of who you are as a person, not just what you've accomplished.

[@connierichards2875]

DLB so good! More of this. Would like to hear your business thoughts versus Rob’s - anything you don’t align on? Where is Ragz? Your journey back to health with Graves would be of interest too. Dogs and horses always!

[@autumnspeaks]

I like the variety of content where sometimes you just talkin straight to us sometimes you're there with your husband or friends and sometimes you're working out. I think the variety is what makes your channel successful. I enjoy all of it.

[@primrosed2338]

That was why I fell in love with lifting, also as a kid that grew up an athlete...there was a direct correlation between the work you put in and the results showing in your body.

[@trav3lin357]

Whatever route you take DLB! Remember 2 let that light shine! Keep Grindin!!! ☮️ &❤

[@leemariehostetter366]

I’ve followed you since 2015 and as a 45 year old dad , you are a true inspiration to work your ass off at something you love and never forget who you are ! Give rob a high 5 from me too for not giving a F … amd being unapologetically himself. Keep being awesome …. Mad love from nova scotia

[@TheJviolet26]

More people need to talk about this. Competed for years. Struggling to want to go back. I picked other goals and am better for it. We don't have to retire. We evolve. ❤❤ keep crushing it.

[@caitlynfitness]

I think it’s absolutely fabulous how real you are about it all. I got cancer a few years ago, and FNF & Dana personally sent me a great care package. I still have my poster framed! You inspire me everyday, to keep pushing & to be ME!

[@shanedevlin6097]

You don't owe anyone an explanation for your life, it's your life to live your way. I saw that podcast, those people making living talking crap about people. You make a life helping people with your videos and training programs. I subscribe to your training program. The training and nutrition information is so helpful, i appreciated you just keep doing you.

[@Jbinanotherrelationshipthatwil]

Correct but don't complain when you put yourself out there repeatedly for years on social media and people question you. They have a right to question you if you put your life on display.

[@Rbonettjr]

DLB, you are great. You are an inspiration for all. I've enjoyed following you for years and I've done a lot of your workouts through dlbdaily and I will tell you those end up being some of the most intense workouts I put myself through. Keep up what you been doing and never stop being you! Much love and respect!

[@sandygonzalezz9160]

This is what the internet needs...more real, raw conversations. Thank you Dana. Cheers from California. ❤🎉

[@made_out_of_chocolate]

I love that you talked about this. Because no one ever shared the nitty gritty details or the behind the scenes information. When I started training I had no clue what I was getting into and the coach I had was more concerned about selling merchandise and making a name for herself within the industry that I had no idea I was being trained wrong. The the caloric deficit and 2hrsa day cardio would come back to kick me in the tail. And I was over of those girls who after the competition blew up. And the depression and shame and all those feelings that came about was crippling. So thanks for sharing you always inspire and motivate me

[@deeza8851]

keep on keeping on Dana you know what you want and your thriving thank you for sharing

[@nancydebarros5938]

I love how real, kind and down to earth you are. The raw and real. She was my first inspiration when first lifting. I always followed Dana and always will. I Love her!

[@pb.health.wellness_coach]

Because of YOU...I am ok with ME! Much love to you for opening up years ago about your body image struggles! After learning of you, I fell in love with lifting heavy and not giving a damn about what others thought as I bulked up. I also became ok with my small chest and lost desire to change it. I now lift how I want but always push myself. Love your app and workouts!!! ❤

[@fitnessonthemovellc]

I was just having this conversation with someone the other day about how much competing has changed just over the last few years. You inspired me to compete back in 2015. I competed in physique and won the novice class and got 2nd masters. I could never compete in the physique class in 2023 because I don’t have the size that is prominent out there today. I have always admired you and your hard work and always appreciate your honesty. We support you because of who you are and you’re just pretty awesome.

[@sami_quintana11]

Love this! I’ve resonated with almost everything you have said. Although never went pro or won an olympia, I relate to a lot of what you said about this sport and what it changes about you and everything that follows competing ❤
