He coupled the caption with a before and after the weight transformation collage. The smile of the fitness enthusiast got the attention of the 40-year-old bodybuilding icon, Swoll who had commented on Danna’s post.

“Dave! Amazing work brother. Amazing! My favorite part is the smile tho man,” he wrote. Though the hard work put in by Danna stunned Swoll, it was his smile in the after-weight loss picture that impressed the bodybuilding icon who called the former an inspiration.
