[@Drakkarius]

@doriandevelops this is a nice idea. At this point you can make any kind of content and people will still watch it.

[@fayal123]

second channel comming soon 😂😂😂

[@paulg666]

I just never stop playing. Nearly 60 and I still go for walks with my daughter sitting on my shoulders (she's 23yo). Play, workout, have fun, and we stay young.

[@NelCapeTown]

You actually had me in full-on sobbing after the ad of the old man lifting the kettle bell. I used to be in excellent shape until about 45. I'm 56 now and even though I lost weight since taking my dog for a walk every single day, I know that I should be in much better shape. By telling me your story (and not preaching) you motivated me to want to start bringing my A-game to the table again. I used to tell people life is about experience and I used to experience what it feels like to turn heads walking down the street because of my physique. And that my life is richer for also knowing what it feels like having to suck in my stomach and get totally winded from something as mundane as tying my shoe laces or clipping my toenails. But all of that is just rationalizing the fact that I quit caring altogether. And it's time for that to change. I don't want to be 35 again, but I want to feel a bounce in my soon to be fifty-seven-year-old step again, and for that I have only you to thank. Watching this just now was literally serendipitous and I'm hoping to post a much more accountability-infused update on your channel three months from today.

[@DorianDevelops]

That commercial of the old man and the kettlebell gets me every damn time lol but I am really glad that sharing my struggles with my weight and my journey to get in shape has lit a fire under you to improve your health! I'm looking forward to your update in 3 months!

[@yartriesthis]

@@DorianDevelops Hi, are you still doing BJJ? from my XP I stopped BJJ and I gain 30lbs from noobie gains. I never felt better aestheics and joint wise.

[@miscreatedmonster2.022]

Why's this guy so dang wholesome 😂

[@DanielCarrizalez]

Great video Dorian, I am on a similar path of getting in the best shape of my life by the time I reach 50. I am 48 years old.

[@DorianDevelops]

Hell yeah! That's awesome! 💪👊

[@WinstonCodesOn]

I'm 38, I know what you mean about being able to pick up your kid. That motivates me to work out, but also seeing my dad get sick in his old age left an impact on me as as child. I don't want to get as crippled as he was from just letting himself go. Smoking, donuts, and no exercise = heart failure and cancer.

[@RenatoL17]

This video had me losing it when you presented the commercial with the grandfather in conjunction with you sharing your story. I'm 40, I'm not a father but if I ever become one, I must be in shape. I think that doing it for ourselves first is right too, and I'm really at a low point in my life today. Getting in shape should help crawl out of that dark period and go towards the light. Thank you for your video 🙏🏻

[@dabunnisher29]

51M here with 6 pack and cut. I am a late Father. My Son is 5, and I knew that I had to keep as fit/healthy as much as I can for him. I totally feel you on this video. For those of you in your late 40's and 50's, it's not too late. Running, Pushups everyday, weight lifting, half crunches and healthy eating. If you need motivation: David Goggin's, Can't Hurt Me audiobook. Man, it's so good. Really great video Dorian!!!!!!

[@prome666]

Even just daily walking. Hitting 7,500+ steps per day and eating relatively clean will have a huge improvement to one's health.

[@nataliab.9725]

That's beautiful to hear Dorian! I hope you reach all your goals and I wish more fathers were like you. Keep up the good work, love from Italy ☺

[@richi1273]

Damn that´s what i needed to hear today, thanks Dorian ^^ I´m only 23, but to hear such words of wisdom from a older person is a blessing. I´m gonna make the next year MY Year of achieving my fitness goals.

[@nashtrashcool]

I will be 20 this year. These are some really mind opening advices. Let's reach our goals brother ))

[@MoonOvIce]

Yeah, do it! 23 was when I got into my current relationship (I just turned 35) and that's when I let myself go, we both like to eat and travel, so that makes sense. But also, we both use the computer a lot (I work on a development environment as Devops). I can still get in shape and have been thinking of going to the gym recently (I don't have space at home for a home gym, just a couple of weights), but still wish I had done it at 23 instead of now, that's when I was the thinnest and wanted to get strong (had been an obese teenager) but life side-tracked me.

[@Philosific]

What ive found that works, is finding a routine that you enjoy.

[@trentbosnic]

Your videos are so freaking relatable to me. I have a baby girl and nearly every guy in my circle with kids has let themselves go physically, I thought the same would happen to me… but its been the opposite. I’ve been working out way more consistently than ever, and I’m in the best shape ever. Having a kid has only motivated me to get in better shape because I wanna be a role model. And just in practical terms, it’s gonna make carrying her around without inuring myself easier, I don’t need any more motivation than that.

[@trardo890]

Great video! 100% I can relate!! Self reflection is a powerful tool that not everyone uses unfortunately. You're doing great so keep up the great work! I tell my kids every day before they leave for school to do their best in everything they do. My son the other day told me "I always do dad!" When he told me that I got choked up a bit lol

[@darqueronin3935]

Looking good Brother! You've come so far IN ALL THINGS, you are an impressive man! I'm proud to have witnessed your progression! 👍🏾💪🏾

[@DorianDevelops]

Thanks man! I got in really good shape working out with you in my early 20s! You always pushed me to work harder!

[@mischavandenburg]

Definitely inspiring to see how you have managed to go up and down in weight and ending up in your current shape. My story is similar and I've lost 20kg over the past 2 years, now I'm trying to get rid of the final 5kg and getting in proper shape. I went from running 10 minutes to 15km. My main motivator is longevity. Keep up the good work!

[@vitorvono]

Thank you for sharing Dorian!

[@ssjshivam]

Great stuff as always man❤

[@1v1z]

Great video. Good stuff Dorian, blessings to you and your family.

[@MR-yi7ng]

Great videos, you're somebody I can relate to. Thank you.

[@annedeepa]

Hey Dorian, Just letting u know thank u for this video

[@Mudi2783]

Thank you for this video 🙏 It means a lot te me to hear someone being so honest and personal. You inspired me and made me realize again how proud I am of all that I have overcome and that I didn't give up. It makes me feel a little bit more free every day and I feel happy even if life is hard on me. Oh and I'm jealous of your kids bedroom, it's beautiful!💚

[@kristinekyle1260]

Thank you ❤ I really need to take in this message for myself and my kids. I want the same. Keep up the great work!

[@tommcvay8968]

Good video! Compelling and rich

[@dnlbellfield]

I really like the new content! Life’s better when you take care of yourself. But fuck sometimes you gotta let loose. Good on you for being disciplined. It can be challenging.

[@LucasSkynyrd]

Your videos are always so on point, I found your channel last year when a saw the video where you talk about getting life together at 30s, as I was reaching that mark and be really lost in life, not knowing where to go and seeing people around doing great with their lives, since that video I realized I needed to stop finding excuses and do the changes to get things together, an old goal of mine was to be become a software developer, wich I had given up because I thought I wasn't good enough, since then I pickup up from where I had stopped and started to study hard and focus on achieving that, and I did! Since the beggining of this year I'm working as a software developer, but I know realize that I also let go of my physical health, hearing your motives and that genius ad of the older man lifting the kettle bell really hit me. I recently started seeing some physical signs that I need to eat better and start working out again, last year after one of your videos I found the energy to get my professional life together, now seeing this video, it's time to do the same with my health! Thanks, Dorian!

[@jobhernandez3174]

congrats bro :) I am 12 pounds overweight and im 29, about to be 30

[@kennygunderman]

Looking good brother. I've been enjoying the non-tech related content

[@StarFox85]

words of wisdom..i also turned 39 last week..3rd week without weed✊

[@jasontran4031]

Amazing video. Great advice for someone like me who will be an expecting dad

[@codysray2616]

Man you are seriously awesome

[@codysray2616]

I came back and saw this is saw how it could almost sound sarcastic. I was being dead ass though lol like I am trying to get into this kind of shape love ya big bro

[@BlackCosmonaut]

Missed getting these notifications

[@btee23]

Great inspiration! What is your lifting/exercise and nutrition routine? Any sources you recommend?

[@DraxTheDestroyer]

I realized I was just eating way too much, even considering I was eating one meal a day for the last 3 years, my portion size was too much and that was the reason I was gaining weight plus I didn't move much. So I started cutting my portions in half and doing at least a 10-minute workout everyday, in a month I lost 6KGs. Just walking for 20-30 minutes also works great, you don't have to do crazy workouts everyday.

[@MoonOvIce]

Yeah, this happened to me. I lived in a city so I walked everyday to public transportation or something else, everything was close by. I then moved to a more car-centric area (not quite by choice) and as soon as I started to walk less, boom! A lot of weight gained. Just walking helps a lot.

[@katherinevalarezo9666]

Because you are WORTH IT... Cheers :)

[@FlowJunkie24816]

Great Video ❤ this really helps with motivation. I'm currently at where you were, maybe 2 years back. Eerily similar... Just already 38 unfortunately 😉 But I'm on my way 🎉

[@haikeaintiaani9183]

im on a same sledge trained over half year now on gym and jogging about same age you are constant sport injuries and achilles tendons inflamed from jogging and other pains it is not same as young guy doing stuff but maby body still can adapt for it good food rest

[@saurabhdaswant7833]

Very inspiring and motivating I just turned twenty last month But how do you manage work (software development;/ KZbin) and family time

[@MoonOvIce]

Not much in the way of hobbies is the answer to most people, or simpler hobbies. I love video games, I just don't play a lot of hours a day or every single day. But many people that have children, complicated jobs and the like, tend to quit them altogether.

[@HIiiiiiiiii007]

Thanks for letting us know how you transformed your body. I'll be going to college next month. I am skinny fat(most common Indian body type) & have very average communication skills. I'll improve myself gradually.

[@UnixGuy]

You are me 😆 Hope to one day grab a coffee with you, we have a strangely similar life story...

[@nataliamkowalska]

Happy Birthday, I'll be 39 on October ;)

[@zonefreakman]

As a kid that was never picked up by his parents or other relatives because they are all out of shape, that is motivating to be better there for my future children in a way that my family never were for me.

[@boyar3033]

Can you make a video about a home gym ?

[@jalesoulmn3369]

Bro you’re built like Spec from Baki wth well done

[@MegaDrake47]

Get yourself a stationary bike or swimming, great for those with leg injuries in the past

[@ethanj1533]

Do you do cardio

[@michaelwong2772]

Dear, i am very skinny but with fat at belly. Even i lost weight to very skinny the belly is not gone.. do you have any tips

[@adrimathlener8008]

Getting in shape to be a role model for your kids has nothing to do with vanity. Sure it feels good, but it's the kids that count. Man I can't even remember what is was to be 39. I'm a few years away of retirement and looking back on my life..... I'm just trying to make the best of the years still to come. So I have to go by the quote of Steve Jobs: Stay Hungry .... Stay Foolish

[@TricoliciSerghei]

Dude, you don't have to give up all the fun stuff to be the best version of yourself.. You can have a cup of coffee or beer with friends sometimes, it's OK. Just know that it's an exception to the rule and not the rule itself. Somebody calls it "cheat hour, cheat day, cheat weekend or week", we are not robots, and we want that option to sometimes open the door and go wild.. Though I'm not talking about stuff that can destoy mentality or phisically, that should never even be considered as an "exception", everything else is fair game.

[@anubhavakumar4269]

Dorian i love your content But in your previous videos you said you dont get your desired sleep and you dont sleep very well I think you have a deviated septum in your nose which is vsible from the structure of your nose. Get yourself a surgery or do some pranayama to fix it or you will suffer from sleep apnea

[@pierre12206]

I Train you and you Code me Hi Five 👋😄

[@asOCiATE53]

[@miscreatedmonster2.022]

He's taking a break from that shih lol

[@gaming4K]

​@@miscreatedmonster2.022 Cuz he is a youtuber.. Might just fake it till you make it.. Talking about generic shit that anyone could make up with good storytelling. 😑
