Self-confidence issues then became apparent in his life brought on by the bullying that he suffered further down the line. To make matters worse, at the age of 14, David was diagnosed with scoliosis (a disorder that causes abnormal curvature of the spine and can even lead to disability).

Doctors advised him to start weight training to build more muscle mass. It was at this point, David realized that he needed to make a change in his life. At this time he was a frail lanky, near emaciated teen of 14 years, weighing merely 90 pounds. He spent a lot of time researching YouTube videos about weight training and diet before he began his own journey.

Initially, he only wanted to build self-confidence and become comfortable with his own body. He began weight training to add muscle mass to his skinny frame, but still, the bullying continued. However, David eventually put all of this in the past following in the footsteps of his idols such as Jeff Seid and Greg Plitt to totally transform his body, while soaring to fame across his social media pages.

He became an internet sensation after sharing his physical transformation on YouTube with the video titled ‘David Laid 18 Month Transformation 14-15 Year Old’, posted on December 13, 2013. He later posted an updated video on his transformation titled ‘David Laid 3 Year Natural Transformation 14-17’, which was uploaded on August 14, 2015, and has been his most popular video with 26 million views.

David Laid was born on January 29, 1998, in Estonia, a Baltic country on the border of Russia and Latvia. At the age of two, he lost his father in an accident after he fell from a cruise ship that was docked at the harbor. A few years later, his single mother moved to the US in search of a better life. The family, which also included him and his two younger brothers, settled in New Jersey.
There, he attended Mainland Regional High School. During his teenage years, he experienced a sudden growth sprout that made him very tall and skinny. Due to his frail figure, he had very low self-esteem and was often the target of bullying. He was subsequently diagnosed with scoliosis when he was 14 but eventually avoided serious consequences of the disorder with focused physical training. He played hockey as a kid, but quit playing to focus on training.

David Laid Scandals

The most common question any bodybuilder faces continuously is whether they made their physique naturally or are on steroids. It is no different for David Laid despite the fact that the early videos that made him popular specifically claimed his transformation to be natural. He has been asked about steroid use several times in the past. He continuously denied it, various websites dedicated to fitness have taken it upon themselves to deduce.
Thus from available evidence, if he is telling the truth or not. Interestingly, ‘aretheyonsteroids.com’ carefully picked out him licking his lips twice during one of his most popular videos while talking about steroids. Claiming it to be psychological evidence that he is lying. Moreover, he goes out of his way to repeatedly defend using steroids. He stated that it does not make one a bad person.
He goes on to say that those steroid users should be condemned who sell products claiming to be natty and those competing professionally. Interestingly, he does neither. Finally, he wore a ‘Half Natty’ hoodie at the Arnold Classic Expo, which many interprets as either he was on steroids at some point of time, or he took low doses of steroids
