    When I was growing up Dorian was the man!! I loved that he wasn’t in that California bullshit !just trained hard in the gym in a dungeon in England. He was this insane freak that came out of his cave once a year only to destroy everyone on the O stage then back to the cave to fine tune his craft. Real gym warrior!

    Dorian, a self taught genius, single handedly breaks the stereotypes of bodybuilders. Eloquent, honest, genuine and highly intelligent. I, a fatherless son just like him, believe he is one of the best, if not the best, role model I have. If I ever achieve any sort of greatness, I will owe a lot of it to him.
    Thank you for your wisdom, your guidance and your endless generosity. May your legacy live on forever.

  • @GuillaumeLeValiant
    @GuillaumeLeValiant 6 років тому +5

    Dorian is the most intelligent bodybuilder ever, period. He's so pragmatic and disciplined, plans his workouts and write it down right after. 4 days a week training even as a pro because he understands that recovery is important, not only that but even at his time he understood how the body works and not only the muscles need to recover but also the ligaments, joints, CNS etc... Because the myth that you have to train each muscles every 72h is just that, a myth. If you train intensely with heavy weight, then yeah, even if your muscles are recovered it doesn't mean that the other systems in your body are recovering as fast aswell...
    Long story short, his advices are in vast majority very useful for us naturals lifter and can be applied eyes closed.
    Love you Mr Yates and wish you the best for the future, have a great day sir!
    Edit : there is also studies that show that strenght can go up by 300% when the ability of your body to recover can increase by only 50% in comparison...

    One more thing I wanted to add
    when he won his first Olympia and then he came back for the '93...
    A few months before the 93... those pictures came out on Flex magazine...
    those black and white pictures that basically sealed his fate...
    what a psychological coup...
    to actually show everybody what was coming; what he was bringing to the Olympia...
    he could have easily won in exactly that condition he was in the pictures.
    Unbelievable
    everybody else was competing for second place at that point.

    • @TopPhysiqueAnalysis

      You couldn't have said it better. Absolutely true. Once the photos circulated the bodybuilding scene, everybody lost their power. He installed fear in everyone's heart.
