My 2 Year Body Transformation

[@donnytucker]

Good stuff daledo. The change is very noticeable. I also started working out back in February 2022 and haven't stopped. I do 200 pushups every single day, I use resistance bands, and I have 20lb and 30lb dumbbells. I've also been vegan for 12.5 years.

[@daledecker]

He’ll yeah man thank you! Also sick that you’re also working out too! Dope to see you’re still here too hope you’re doing well!

[@donnytucker]

@@daledecker Thanks dude! Yeah I've been here since the beginning. I'm doing great!

Lmfaoooo

[@subzSauria]

hahaha best comment!

[@GolfRCumSlut]

@@daledeckeri love you Dale glad to see you thriving

[@OllyRobertss]

Hell yeah Dale. Love the journey. I started the gym last year in hopes to replace it with drinking / partying and it’s done just that. Skating is better, life is better, I look and feel better. Working out really is the cheat code to a better life. Much like you, I regret not starting sooner. But here we are

[@daledecker]

Man it’s such a better life. Being capable and strong and so underrated. I feel like less and less people are partying.

[@OllyRobertss]

@@daledecker absolutely dude, and it’s so simple to do. Push, pull, legs 3 days a week. Such a workable plan in to most schedules. As I’m getting older I’m starting to notice that too. Love to see it

[@VIBElul]

youre a huge inspiration dale. from sobriety to kindness to self acceptance to now mental and physical health, all love!

[@whammybar2000]

Hell yeah, I love seeing people find fitness. It's a powerful message you're sending to your audience and 150 to 185 is a respectable transformation. I've lifted weights from my late teens through to now in my mid thirties and it's had a profound impact on my life. Keep it up man, much love

[@Buezok]

Been watching ur channel for years and i thinks it’s funny how we both picked up jiujitsu and weight training not long ago but been skating our whole lives

[@louismaiden8360]

props for feeling good and healthy behavior. ya love to see it.

[@rabbitparadise]

Hey Dale, long time fan. Used to watch you when I was into skating more, I fell out of it and it's been a bit since I've watched you. Really impressed with your transformation, I've been going to the gym a long time now and have struggled to gain weight, as many do. I'm great at going to the gym and staying consistent, but eating for me is particularly difficult. It's just very hard for me to eat more. Your transformation is honestly maybe one of the closest things on youtube I've seen to something I could achieve. At my height of going to the gym and eating, I gained about 20lbs and was consistent at the gym for maybe 6 months, started looking a bit like how you look. Sadly I lost that, but I want to get there again. Really curious on your tips on diet. Especially hearing you eat a plant based diet, that's really impressive. I've wanted to switch to plant based for a long time now, but I just worry at how difficult eating already is for me, I don't want to add unnecessary strain. But yeah, if you got time what advice do you have for gaining weight, besides the gym, because I feel like I got the gym part figured out, it's just the diet lol.

[@drewstaples9648]

DAMNNNN THE HOMIE LOOKING LIKE A SNACK!! So proud of you man!! you're a huge inspiration!!

[@682chepstein]

I could totally watch these. You have nice a dialogue & comfort with the camera.

[@daledecker]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@yusazua]

Good job Dale. Lift weights enjoy life. Fuck the haters.

[@AvalancheReviews]

Dawg, those shoulders are coming in nice!!!

[@yolkedup]

i lost a little bit of that fire i used to have for skating but ive been lifting more and now i mainly lift and skate once or twice a week. I used to be okay with being skinny (145) but lookin back now, im (165) and proud of the progression.

[@JT_1111]

Very inspiring brotha I need to get my ass back in the gym and you're right muscle memory is def a thing

[@ryanrowe1975]

Great video

[@Ninjaboy459]

Phenomenal progress for 3 years congratulations

[@gooseallie4417]

This was great. If these are the type of videos you’re going to be making I’m all for it.

[@daledecker]

Yeah thanks! It’ll be a variety of stuff but yeah going for this format

[@isaacangelsvlogs9379]

Yessss love the vlogs dale I’ve been watching you sence you started your channel with John it’s crazy how longs it’s been sence you vlogged hyped 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@christopherpattberg2431]

IIRC youre supposed to take creatin breaks every now and then because otherwise your body stops producing creatin - which could be bad in the long run, should you ever stop taking it. Might be worth checking up on this to avoid problems in the future. That aside: congrats on the transformation. You also seem happier since you started working out!

[@powncho]

Looking good dude! Stay in shape to do what you love for as long is possible is the main goal. Looks are a really good plus

[@tadotto]

@daledecker hell ya dude! You and John inspired me to consider plant based like 7 years ago, it took me way too long to implement it into my life cause I live in rural north texas(no vegans around), lived off plants for most of 2017, lost my way, followed some animal rights activists on you tube and really drove home the ethics for me and I've been living a vegan lifestyle for over 4 and a half years now. I am your age and have always been skinny(about 5-10 never fluctuating below or above 130-140lbs) about 15 years. Everyone around me still eats the "normal diet" and is concerned that I'm not getting what my body needs/ and don't believe a plant based diet can be achieved healthily. Do you think I need to bulk up for the animals sake?

[@willmax95]

Hell yeah Dale! I found this very relatable. I too have been thinking about using my channel as a place to share my thoughts. Skate content has just bored me lately but its good to see another skater going to the gym its motivating!

[@daledecker]

Hell yeah man I’m in the same boat you are even tho I got a skate vid im uploading either today or tmrw haha

[@willmax95]

@@daledecker I think im making a skate video of sorts with a friend this weekend too lol. I think our channels can be healthy with a mix of regular life and skating when it works out

[@Ewan300]

Awesome video dude! Been working out for a year and a half now and really struggling to gain mass. You don't realize how much you need to eat until you start tracking things lol.

[@daledecker]

That and progressive overload

[@davidleeashkenazi8992]

I don't think you were super skinny, but damn bro what a difference!

[@MrPDTaylor]

Make sure to use a swift jerking motion when doing a back workout.

[@Stolen_666]

I think you’d dig adding in some calisthenics. I’m 50/50 with weights and calisthenics. Going hard on the lat pulldowns feel awesome, but banging out 20 strict pull-ups without lacking form?!? Oh man, that feels incredible and i guarantee that you’ll be the only dude in the gym hitting 20 pull-ups.

[@zeroandplanb4life]

Ive worked out my whole life and done martial arts here or there mostly BJJ/Karate from my brother/friends growing up but i never have made much visual progress lol i can still do like 30-40 pullups no issues and 100-200 pushups per day in 2 sets or 4 sets depending how i feel without much effort but it has never made me ripped probably cause of my lack of diet and proper eating which i just corrected this year I also neglected rest alot and would kind of abuse myself stay up really late and not sleep for a long time etc lol, Also as of late am doing high endurance cycling for about 3 years so i have taken it light on working out as some days it is like my legs are literally non existent lol.... Good job also you looking good and filled out!. Im still stuck at 149-160lb range lol

[@domjohnson9651]

Crazy thinking I’ve been watching since 2019

[@nellicious1193]

First here and keep it going Dale !

[@DeadVegaInSpain]

Creative pretty much fills you up with water on the muscles you worked out. Makes you look bigger. A little boost but go for a few mile jog and most of your bulk will melt away

[@daledecker]

It never melts away after an intense bjj class 🤷🏻‍♂️ it fills your muscles with water so they are more hydrated and can work harder making you feel stronger. It’s not a crazy boost but it helps.

[@DeadVegaInSpain]

I know you’re vegetarian but you should buy a few chickens. Take good care of them and eat there eggs. Eggs are a complete protein. But whatever you’re doing seems to be working. Also do heavy squats. When the legs get built up the whole body gets bigger. Also stay away from anything that’s supposed to boost testosterone unless you want chest flab

[@daledecker]

@@DeadVegaInSpain yeah my leg days are mostly just compound movements. I go hard on squatting. Also man when I get a house that’s on the list. Get some pet chickens and snag up their eggs. Also yeah I don’t take any PED or anything.

[@manoejoire2670]

sick brother

[@Bawkr]

I always do at night because I don't want to be sore aka tired out from lifting. Plant based is a bit odd because of oxalates. I'd go half n half at-least.

[@fastkuts]

man even your ear is getting muscles

[@himebaughchris4026]

Look into Antler Velvet. Comes in Capsules at GNC. Old Viking secret. 😁

[@1992AJL]

any tips of bulking on a plant based diet? It's always a struggle getting that protein count up

[@overtonesnteatime198]

The human genes are made to with last for 114 years. Check out the documentary series called the blue zones. You aren't old at all lol. also you don't need to cycle on creatine, like you say just drink lots of water. Ive ben taking it for 6 years every day. zero issues. Thanks for the inspiration Dale.

[@frostshock13]

Imagine the gains you could have had wearing an Oreo Zip Hoodie.. straight up I like the concept of being like very fit, I just don't have the passion and dedication to get to that point. Maybe one day.

[@mytorment]

That's not you in the thumbnail after shot unless you had that wrist tattoo covered and partially removed, funny shot though

[@daledecker]

One is taken in the mirror and the other one is taken by a person, the tattoos on the left arm in the left photo are on the right arm in the right photo with the hand I’m holding the phone. Also those tattoos are facing away from you in the after show so you can see them anyway.

Im also going to the gym since 3 months. Same goal; getting mass. I use creatine once a day. May i ask why you use it twice a day? Does that come with an advantage?

How do you like lifting before you roll? I weight train in a separate session hours after rolling

[@daledecker]

I only do it cuz that’s what I have time for and I hate going to the gym at night but sometimes it sucks and I’m gassed. I’ve been tryna tone down the intensity lately

Straight creatine mono hydrate no other ingredients

yahhhh doggie

It’s actually easier to gain muscle 💪 then lose fat

[@DMoney505]

Negative! Both are equally difficult, which is why most want to take short cuts it takes years to really build muscle. Unless you hop on the sauce, but those gains will be short lived.

I don’t believe in the industrialization of animals, meat is simply unnecessary for me so I don’t eat it.
