Everyone talking about all these training partners that would suite Dorian the best? None of yous heard of Leroy Davis? He was the guy that got 110% of out Dorian every single time! He deserves more credit!
I always appreciate how spiritual he is, he truly understands how to manipulate his reality to his own benefit while also understanding his own mortality
Dorian always send a message. A true message. Something spiritual. Is more than a simple bodybuilder. Sometimes I think he was the greatest of then all, not by shape, but for might. Like he say, today is to easy to be just famous... But make history is completely different. Thirty years from now we will still talk about Dorian, but no one will remember a instagram celebrity. A truely inspiration for us all.
I love that he, i believe, has no consequences to his health after all these Mr. Olimpias, and now how he preserved himself, and preoriented to something else, as yoga, mountain climbing, just relaxed walking, and continuing be useful for himself and the others, and most of all, the life lessons he learned and life philosophy he adopted!!, enough reason to respect this guy!!
What no consequences /, he can't even lift anymore at 57 hasn't been able to lift for like the last 10 yrs because the drugs destroyed his body . He said he doesn't lift , bodybuilding was supposed to be for life not till your 45 .
Exactly, amazing what people what to see and believe also he can't lift because he's shot from the drugs . Hasn't lifted for at least the last 10yrs or so . Was it really worth it ?
I like how he says "The last set is as if someone has put a gun on your child and for him to not trigger you have to give 100%" but not gun on his head, because even subconsciously he knows he is not afraid of death and that is not a leverage.
Dorian is a great great Sportsman and Champion !!! Very very best .....Greetings from Germany.../ Hannover ** All THE BEST WISHES FOR DORIAN FROM OUR HEARTS ....
Dorian to this day for me is the most inspiring bodybuilder.He didn't have the genetics of say Ronnie Coleman or Phil heath. But he surpassed them all thru sheer Will discipline and higher power. He was a mass monster to say the least and idk bout you guys, but the best back in bodybuilding to this day. He was and is why I train today. Thanks Shadow ☝️💪
Although I agree with you about Yates' discipline, the idea that "Coleman" or "Heath" had better genetics is false. Yates had a wider structure than either (especially Heath, who looks like a muscular troll), better shaped thighs (especially compared to Coleman, whose thighs resembled blown-up balloons), better back than either, superior calves, better midsection (Coleman has the ugliest midsection of any Olympia winner; Heath is the definition of a "bubblegut"), better forearms, & superior conditioning & hardness (both Coleman & Heath looked soft & blubbery -- Yates looked like he was carved from granite). You're certainly correct that he surpassed both.
Don’t forget Dorians crazy forearms and calves, they were massive
4 года назад
@@TruthTellert63 90% of what you said is purely achieved through hard work. I mean, "better back than either" he wasn't born with better back genetics, he got a better back than both Phil and Ronnie through training. Superior calves? Genetics up to a point but if you go through yates' career you will notice that in his early days and even in his first Mr. O his calves weren't THAT crazy as we know them to be in his prime. Better midsection? depends what you mean, the width? Phil has a smaller waist than both Ronnie and Dorian but then again he's 30-40 pounds smaller than them. Ronnie's abs were weird and ugly, but his midsection was tight in his earlier years. After 2002-2003 he developed a bubble gut. Conditioning and hardness is also achieved through dieting, not genetics. Coleman could've looked just as conditioned and hard as Dorian if he would've sacrificed enough mass. But he didn't want to. The granite thing is also because of the HIIT training (Dorian himself said this). Heavy weights=granite looking physique. Although, Dorian did have thin skin so that helped him achieve that granite look as well.
@@DavidReiten10 yeah this is largely incomprehensible. Mind you, I think those HIT bent over rows with 440 would of made his forearms grow like they did. What an absolute freak of nature Dorian is.
I've lost count the number of times I've watched this video. I think what makes it so powerful are the old photos of Dorian throughout showing his life story and journey makes it emotional in a motivating way. Motivation is intrinsic but this is a great catalyst! Thanks brilliant - there is not better on the internet!
Michiel De Neve as an introvert I thought its easier for us, extroverts are the people pleasers, I’m all about being alone and not giving a damn what people think of me.. are you sure your not actually an extrovert?
In 1988 I was 17 years old. I witnessed Dorian win the British overall title. You could see there was something different about him. 4 years later he was Mr . Olympia.
This is an awesome video, and a true insight into Dorian. Dorian must be one of the most grounded sportsmen/bodybuilder/philosophers out there ! Always a pleasure to listen to and comes across as a genuine good guy ! Deeper than most !
Damn the videos got taken down and I got so sad bc I watch this, Arnold, Tom, and lee Haney tape every day to keep me focused. So glad it’s back!!! WTH happened lol
I miss that days with Arnold, Ronnie and Dorian, there was more heart in bodybuilding with no instagram or shit like this. Every bodybuilder was created by his own hard work, addicted to it, focused on it and today taking selfies is more important than good old motivation.
I'm all about this... I leave my phone in the locker... otherwise .. pack your bags... go home... so many cell phone machines at my gym but I use them for lifting... lol
You are more than your body, that´s why i, we crave to hear you and that hard Story, not just killing the weakness of the machine but burn the darkness around your head with rainbow tears of your Soul. Take it easy on yourself, enjoy to the max cause only you and i know the sweet pain of N-E-V-E-R givin up. Amazing video :)🌅
Utter rubbish. Yates is definitely not the 'ultimate bodybuilder'. If anyone fits that description it's Arnold Schwarzenegger. Nobody can say who the ultimate man was/is, but it's certainly not Yates.
My favorite of all times! To me there is yet another person that has the type of body that DOrian brought to the stage. Not even Ronnie Coleman ever came as dry and conditioned as Dorian did.
Dorian Yates no bullshit most honest bloke in and out the gym . He is from Birmingham were I am from . He took bodybuilding to a whole new level . Hes inspiring to me and millions of other aspiring bodybuilders around the world . Awesome great the shadow
this is by far the most motivational video ive ever seen...the music behind it with his podcast just an 1 Hole... yates was or is one of the best and THIS is one of the best moivation videos ever made
5:36 - I NEVER imagined in my wildest, chronic insomnia or chemically induced dreams, that I would EVER hear Dorian Andrew Mientjez Yates do a Rick Flair impression. My life is complete. That “Whooooo!” has filled a hole in my soul I didn’t even know existed.
I love the old bodybuilding videos ❤️ 💪 the newer stoic videos are AMAZING aswell! But man as a bodybuilder this is great too ! Thanks for all you post !
Some men are great and define eras in their chosen profession and some men do that while challenging the very nature of what it means to be human. You can just tell he’s different. The Shadow and the Sage, the eternal Dorian Yates!
Let's fucking go..! Your videos help me revive when I am feeling down, and when I am feeling strong, they push me even further than I thought I could go. You dont even know how much your work transformed my way of thinking so fuck RUclips honestly. Follow these passions of yours and keep MOTIVATING
I don't think people realize what this man accomplished. He was the greatest among greats in an era where size was the new thing. He consistently beat Shawn, Wheeler, Levrone and Nasser when they had an amazing physique as well. Only Ronnie was capable of dethroning Yates.
well he didn't. Yates dominated everyone, including Ronnie, for 6 years. 14 consecutive pro show wins, almost every single one of those shows with perfect scores. Ronnie only got his 5 minutes after Yates decided to retire, unbeaten, on his own terms, as the champion.
Funny thing is Dorian is the only one that saw Ronnie coming in his last year of competition. Every one has their time. What makes Dorian exceptional to me is not just his physique but his mind. He was a punker skinhead and a hooligan found something to transform himself with and through sheer willpower did just that.
Dorian Yates, a colossus in the pantheon of bodybuilding, redefined the very ethos of muscular perfection with his unparalleled work ethic and an almost mythical dedication to his craft. Emerging from the gritty backdrop of Birmingham, England, Yates was not forged in the glitzy gyms of America but in the shadows of Temple Gym, a subterranean forge where he sculpted a physique that would forever alter the landscape of bodybuilding. His training, known for its brutal intensity and unwavering discipline, was not just a routine but a relentless crusade against his own limits. Yates' physique, a breathtaking amalgamation of size, symmetry, and conditioning, was nothing short of a masterpiece, etched with the sweat of a Spartan regimen. Each muscle, carved with Herculean effort, spoke of a man who transcended the ordinary, embodying the spirit of a warrior in the pursuit of physical greatness. Dorian Yates wasn't just a bodybuilder; he was a force of nature, a testament to the extraordinary feats human will and flesh can achieve, leaving an indelible mark as the greatest to ever grace the stage.
2:28 when he yells it ain’t like that juicehead yell you see in the gym. That yell is saying he’s in the zone and literally embracing all the pain. That’s some moving shit.
Dorian touched on a very important subject, that everyone wants instant gratification these days and not really work hard for it. Nowadays it's really easy to not only use certain platforms to get attention but to get heavily addicted to it. This approval seeking bahavior is being refered to as being needy, which is a trait that's been very much linket to us millennials. Bodybuilding can be great to do in several ways, but like other sports, it can backfire if you only do it to get validation and attention. One would be wise to have more reasons to lift weights and have other values in life to balance things out and not be in your own buble all the time. Then bodybuilding can be a healthy part of your lifestyle but not be your whole life.
I couldn't have agreed more, that desire to improve YOURSELF is something that i know i am trying to perfect early on so i can focus on the more essential parts of bodybuilding. And to add to the discussion, right now i think its hard to not seek that virtual validation being that allot of our social interactions have been moved to the internet. From my experience i was so lost in being busy and training that it hadn't occurred to me that i enjoyed those physical interactions with people. i think allot of use took even simple hellos and being in others presence for granted.
Taking nothing away from Dorian but I have to wonder how much better he was because of his training partner. With a guy like that by your side you couldn’t help but improve.
One thing I learned from a Champion superbike rider was this: In life, you will not often be given positive circumstances. Instead, you will face adversity. A Champion can use that negative and turn it into a positive.

IVE WATCHED THIS 600 times. Almost 2 years on a gym playlist on my headphones.
I hear you, probably around 3,000 of these views is just me lol...
Dorian is a true alpha. Calm, collected, disciplined and filled with 100% determination.
More like a Sigma than an Alpha
Only betas speak of alphas, good or bad.
He clearly said i'm an introvert so he is obviously a true sigma
Never ever take this video down. This is the best motivational video on you tube I've watched it over 100 times.
Watch the Tom Platz tape, it's even better imo
@@Mikaeel84 I watch both but dorian is more inspirational for me but the Tom platz one is great as well
Always download videos like this, they usually get taken down.
@radex yes man!!!! Hahaha
Watching too many videos. Need to get your ass in the gym
Everyone talking about all these training partners that would suite Dorian the best? None of yous heard of Leroy Davis? He was the guy that got 110% of out Dorian every single time! He deserves more credit!
Well said
CamYoung Fitness sad thing is everyone thinks Leroy is a “black” name just like Tyrone
CamYoung Fitness best training partner to ever walk this earth
Was that the guy yelling at dorian in the vids?
One more like for the mass!! Ugggghhhhhh
As much I love Arnold, Lee Priest, Ronnie, Tom Platz, etc. No one ever motivates me as much as Dorian does.
He’s truly the GOAT. (Mentzer)
Facts!
Yeah mate 100%
Everyone you named is the best ever to do it 💪🏻 dorians philosophy tops them all
same here man
I always appreciate how spiritual he is, he truly understands how to manipulate his reality to his own benefit while also understanding his own mortality
Very inspiring.

Dorian and Tom Platz
I love how he's speaking about creating your reality with your thinking.
I love that he, i believe, has no consequences to his health after all these Mr. Olimpias, and now how he preserved himself, and preoriented to something else, as yoga, mountain climbing, just relaxed walking, and continuing be useful for himself and the others, and most of all, the life lessons he learned and life philosophy he adopted!!, enough reason to respect this guy!!
What no consequences /, he can't even lift anymore at 57 hasn't been able to lift for like the last 10 yrs because the drugs destroyed his body . He said he doesn't lift , bodybuilding was supposed to be for life not till your 45 .
bible bill he’s not able to lift because of all his injuries not the drugs
Exactly, amazing what people what to see and believe also he can't lift because he's shot from the drugs . Hasn't lifted for at least the last 10yrs or so . Was it really worth it ?
He has a slight testosterone problem and a few injuries but other than that he's fine. At 4:31 he looks pretty ok to me.
He doesn't look anything like he should now from all the drug use . He can 't even lift weights because his body is so wracked from drugs .
Dorian saved my life.
My idol, straight up. That discipline and grit is truly inspiring.
He was the John Wick of bodybuilding. Baba Yaga. A man of sheer will, focus and determination.
*John Wick was the Dorian Yates of action films, man* 😉😉😉
A pro like Dorian Yates comes along only once. Ever.
I like how he says "The last set is as if someone has put a gun on your child and for him to not trigger you have to give 100%" but not gun on his head, because even subconsciously he knows he is not afraid of death and that is not a leverage.
I loved Dorian’s side tricep shot. I like how he acknowledges his training method as the reason he was mr. Olympia. Interesting
wait until the Lee Priest tape will be reuploaded :)
Love it
Best video of Dorian and perhaps body building motivation ever!!!!
The man is a legend. I followed him though everything he did. He was the main man on my bedroom wall and inspired to go further.

Every gym session. I train at a powerlifting facility. Don't need to wear a shirt or shoes. Private owned.
Shirts off is gay. Keep it on

Tom platz was dorian 's childhood hero . dorian mention it copule times in interviews 😁
Scott Crabtree Tom Platz is actually who inspired him 😂
I know someone better, Branch Warren.
A person like dorian train juste him and his mental
if dorian had trained with tom platz, the gym was filled by ultra sounds of theyr screams ahahaha
Simply the best bodybuilder. Without yates the mass monsters wouldn't be here today.
Ah yeah they would
Followed Dorian since the early 90s, always liked his style and straight forward demeanor.
He IS a legend..spiritual approach. Absolute focus..🙏
Great Tape, especially the last part. Good choice of music and speeches.
Dorian was a legend with his heavy intensity workout.
I love it and i train also
How much time rest between sets mate?

Ultimate bodybuilder, ultimate man. The epitomy of a bodybuilder, the very definition of what is it means to be male. To be a the manliest man. 💪
Quit deceiving yourself most of his gains were from massive drugs .
Utter rubbish. Yates is definitely not the 'ultimate bodybuilder'. If anyone fits that description it's Arnold Schwarzenegger. Nobody can say who the ultimate man was/is, but it's certainly not Yates.
"So to come from this place to win mr. Olympia using a unique training philosophy" Great Mike Mentzer

Thanks forever massive for uploading this video man 🙏 please upload some more of doriyan yates videos ⚡️
This video is brilliant thanks - if this doesn't motivate you nothing will!
Dorian Yates no bullshit most honest bloke in and out the gym . He is from Birmingham were I am from . He took bodybuilding to a whole new level . Hes inspiring to me and millions of other aspiring bodybuilders around the world . Awesome great the shadow
Watching this today. Masterpiece. Amazing work.
Dorian #1 for all time.
His back, lats & conditioning is never gonna be seen again.
The Shadow.
This video makes a grown man cry.
Bodybuilding is all about being succesful and Dorian taught us a great lesson on that.
This is great. Inspirational. Had a tough time getting through a set because of some issues and this just pushed me harder.
The very best of all time.
I could listen to DY for hours. Love his mindset and attitude towards bodybuilding. Very Platz-esque
this is by far the most motivational video ive ever seen...the music behind it with his podcast just an 1 Hole... yates was or is one of the best and THIS is one of the best moivation videos ever made
5:36 - I NEVER imagined in my wildest, chronic insomnia or chemically induced dreams, that I would EVER hear Dorian Andrew Mientjez Yates do a Rick Flair impression.
My life is complete. That “Whooooo!” has filled a hole in my soul I didn’t even know existed.
Dorian Yates, the shadow, unforgettable back
One of if not the greatest British sportsman.
This message is much bigger than the gym and getting ripped. Dorian is a modern-day Philosopher. Reflect on this if you need to make a hard decision.
Whatever you want to do in life do it today because there are only so many tomorrows
I love the old bodybuilding videos ❤️ 💪 the newer stoic videos are AMAZING aswell! But man as a bodybuilder this is great too ! Thanks for all you post !
The Beast of Birmingham. Respect. You can see Platz inspiration in Dorian’s training. They both went HAM.
Some men are great and define eras in their chosen profession and some men do that while challenging the very nature of what it means to be human. You can just tell he’s different. The Shadow and the Sage, the eternal Dorian Yates!
Watching this today -Jan 1st 2024 and I'll continue to watch for the years to come
Dedication level of Dorian made him the champion.
Having a bad day at work, watching this shit on my lunch break.
Pure gold 🥇
The original absolute unit, what a lad m8
This is honestly the BEST motivation video that I have ever laid my eyes upon
I’m from Birmingham like Dorian, he is a legend in the sport and they should put a statue up in the city centre of Birmingham 💪🏻👍🏻

The best motivational video! Thank you for putting this together!
Dorian touched on a very important subject, that everyone wants instant gratification these days and not really work hard for it. Nowadays it's really easy to not only use certain platforms to get attention but to get heavily addicted to it. This approval seeking bahavior is being refered to as being needy, which is a trait that's been very much linket to us millennials. Bodybuilding can be great to do in several ways, but like other sports, it can backfire if you only do it to get validation and attention.
