Derek of More Plates More Dates: a Fitness YouTuber on the Rise – Techie + Gamers

Derek from More Plates More Dates has carved out a unique niche for himself on YouTube. The young entrepreneur has built up a large following covering bodybuilding and self-improvement. Derek first started blogging on his site MorePlatesMoreDates.com (brilliant name) and afterwards began uploading videos to YouTube. Over the last 18 months the growth of his channel has been phenomenal. At the start of 2021, he had 300,000 subs and now has triple that amount! It wont be long until he passes the million milestone!

Background

While in university, Derek studied business and planned to get a job as an accountant after graduating. His mindset changed when his mentor Good Looking Loser was running a successful online business.

Derek started publishing self-improvement related content on his blog in 2016 and developed a small audience. He has been working in the supplement space for years, which inspired him to launch Gorilla Mind in 2017. Gorilla Mind is a supplements company selling a range of Nootropics that claim to boost cognitive performance and pre-workout formulas. Derek owns Gorilla Mind alongside business partners Mike Cernovich and Chris Deoudes.

The 28-year-old also owns a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) clinic called Marek Health. The clinic provides services to help with hair loss, erectile dysfunction, weight loss, thyroid function and more.

His journey to success didnt happen overnight and it took him two years to get 10,000 subscribers. Now, hes averaging 1,000 subs per day and is uploading videos everyday to keep his viewers engaged.

Unlike most fitness YouTubers, More Plates More Dates doesnt limit his content and explores topics such as hair loss prevention, hormone optimization and pharmacology. Over the years, hes worked with famous actors, pro bodybuilders and elite athletes as his consultation services are in high demand!

MPMDs rise to internet fame has led to fans becoming interested in his personal life. He even has a Reddit group with nearly 50,000 members. Despite his popularity, Derek keeps his life private and doesnt share his last name publicly. Believe me Ive tried to find out his full name out of curiosity but failed. I would never dox him!
