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.
Absolutely LOVE this comment!! 💓
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
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! ❤
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!
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!

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!!

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! ❤
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!
Enjoying the process of growing ourselves physically and mentally is the key 🔑 ❤GYM is life 💪
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.
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.
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.
I have followed you for years and remember when flag nor fail started! You rock no matter what. Love you and Rob! ❤❤
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.!!💕💪🏽
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!
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.
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
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)
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.
@@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
@@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
@@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
I rarely comment on RUclips 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. ☮
Thank you for taking the time to write this.
I think everyone thinking of competing should watch this video to understand that even the absolute pros have their struggles. Thank you for your realness. You are an inspiration to so many, on and off stage.
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!!!!
It’s so amazing to see the evolution of woman in this industry.
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.
Dana, we LOVE you. I’ll never forget seeing you on RUclips during my time at Kutztown University, following your journey and then realizing you were right down the road from me!! I’ll always hope you compete again, but regardless if you do or not- you inspire me everyday. We just want you happy❤️

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.

❤ 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.
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 :)
I’ve never clicked so fast 😂❤

You’ll always hold that title!!! You’re inspiring as hell Dana! ❤
Yup 👍
Hell is the opposite of inspiring
❤ this! With the rise of popularity of fitness influencers, it’s great to hear insight like this from you specifically.

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 💯 👌🏼 💪🏼
I am glad you decided to stay humble but gracefully bowed out from the world of bodybuilding. Keep doing you and inspiring others

I just started watching your RUclips videos. You're down to earth. You don't take things too serious. DO YOU BOO! MAKE IT DO WHAT IT DO!
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.”
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

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!
Love your honesty, vulnerability and especially your courage to put yourself out there and share your story.
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 ❤
Loved this!! I actually became a DLB fan after you were done competing and I knew you were the first ms Olympia but never knew the whole story of your competitions so this was really cool!!
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!
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!
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.
I enjoy seeing your videos and hearing you speak about the sport. Thank you for being a big inspiration for everyone
Whatever route you take DLB! Remember 2 let that light shine! Keep Grindin!!! ☮️ &❤
LOVE YOU ❤️
You are accomplished and humble. I love to hear your story and see you inspire so many people.
Just keep being you.
You are Amazing 👏
Thanks for sharing!
This was insightful! Thank you!
You are an unbelievable soul with the most outstanding dedication 🙌 most only show the highlights of their life, but you show it all, the good, the bad and the... not even your cry is ugly 😂love you girl, thank you so much for being you and having someone record pretty much your whole life ❤

I just love you and your personality! You empower and inspire me to be better! I love watching your videos! I’ve been watching you since 2012! You consistently inspire and you are honest!!! Thank you!!!! ❤❤❤
Yes! Absolutely more of this type of youtube/podcast ! Maybe topics can be about how you manage psychological challenges in your life? How do Dana Linn B manage challenges? How do you manage Graves? That sort of stuff... You are awesome by the way!!
I like DLB and Kristen Nun’s humor Always, it’s helps And -THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU-. (Honestly and literally).
Remember that your true value is who you are- not what you do. And the who of you is such an inspiration to us all. Keep sharing. Oh and you and Nunn are HILARIOUS 😅
Heeeeey! I love it! I’m so happy your happy! I remember following you all through the Olympia! Best year ever! ❤
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.
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.
Thanks you
I started gym after i listen to kai talk about how gym saved him
I had low self esteem as well didn't like my body too. Now gym is like my sanctuary
Don’t you dare retire! I could watch you all day. You’re Motivation for many! Perfection is perfected. That body!
I listened good , I have been following you since 2012 and I have been doing the same exercises as you in the gym, thank you for your honesty, greetings from the Middle East
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
Your workout videos are 10x more valuable than any podcast 👍

Still my FIRST and GREATEST influence of all time ❤❤❤❤❤ also why I have never wanted to do anything but learn more and work harder to see what my natural genetics and effort can do THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO AND ARE
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.
I know you don't owe anyone an explanation but I started following you around 2013/14 and this video offered a lot of closure!

You're the best!
You are amazing. An inspiration to all us. Yes do another podcast, share your bodybuilding experience, routine and more to learn from the best!
I enjoy your RUclips channel.

You are such an inspiration! ❤❤❤
Loved your talk Dana! I am a first time bikini competitor at 67! 😅 You are very inspiring and I love your training tips! Completely agree with your holistic view on life and please keep it up!
Dana 💕 you will always be an inspiration even if you compete again or not! 💪🏽
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!
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!

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
I have truly enjoyed your videos. I don't watch the channel because your placing high in a competition. I think your channel is interesting, educational, and has a lot of value to my life. So thanks for all the videos and information it has helped me a lot.
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.
Super appreciative of you sharing that story. You are incredibly inspiring.
Loved this "podcast" style and topic. Thank you so much for being open, vulnerable about your part struggles, and sharing it all with us. Been watching you and Rob since 2012(?) and y'all have been nothing but a huge inspiration to me in my own fitness journey as well as overall personal and entrepreneurial work-life growth! Lots of love and appreciation for all that y'all do coming from my end of town in Los Angeles 💓

Great message from the goat! You inspire me daily to be my best. Thank you ❤
Listen, you are an amazing inspiration for women whether competing or not. I just started my journey and am not competing just healthier. I really enjoy your workouts, quirkiness, humor, and knowledge. It’s amazing seeing what we can do with our bodies if we work hard enough! Thank you for all the motivation and inspiration!! 😊
Respect for touching on George’s help/ teachings in guiding you in competition.
I would like to say thank you for your honesty. I am in my 40+ and I have just discovered that exercising can be fun. I used to hate every form of exercise.Your videos have helped me so much. So again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Lots of love from sweden ❤
A DLB podcast would be sooo dope. Keep on rockin'! 🤘
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.
❤ I loved how Rob said hey your not you …. That’s support and that’s amazing 🤩 I loved this so inspiring 👏 that’s what matters is you … you make yourself happy 😊
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.
I think social media added a lot more depth to bodybuilding fandom. In the magazine days, it was just admiring a physique and wanting to look like them, train like them, etc. But now it’s much more personable, so being relatable, articulate, charismatic-all of these things matter. And you have a personality that’s just fun to watch. That combined with Rob’s artistic abilities, has made you one of the most engaging figures in the space for over a decade now.
Regardless of if you compete or not, you have given SO MANY including me so much! Not going to lie i was so upset you were done, but hearing this, i completely understand, i love your and Robs love!! 💞
Dana, you are forever the GOAT who moved mountains for women in the sport of bodybuilding. No one will ever compare to what you have accomplished! Loved this style of "podcast", you have so much valuable stuff to say ❤
“-Hats Off-“ To DLB for awesome work.
Dana quit playing I waited in line hours to see you and get a pic in my FNF shirt! You still the sh#t. We're proud of you and 🫡 your growth
You where the #1 person to help me start my journey and to continue with it. Your an amazing person. Thank you for all your shares. I love learning about you behind the DLB daily.
Your amazing! I seen parts of the podcast that was making speculations! Girl, you don’t have to explain yourself- you do you! ❤we know your honest and true! I believe that was they are just trying to get views for their podcast!
I have not went to the gym for years due to medical issues. I just joined a gym a week ago. Had a medical energency on my rest day. Im still wanting to work out. Thank you Dana Lynn Bailey
This is what the internet needs...more real, raw conversations. Thank you Dana. Cheers from California. ❤🎉
This was helpful to hear. Thanks. Regarding when you asked at the end what we prefer..? I like your videos best, when your walking around cooking, etc. More lifestyle. ❤
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!!! ❤
In other words you don't wanna go back on PEDS
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 ❤
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.
Dana will always be an inspiration. Her personality, drive, compassion.. all of it is so genuine and unique. Dana and Rob both.
