Seriously this guy is unbelievable, the discipline and dedication he had for his profession is amazing. It's a shame UK don't respect the sport because he definitely deserves honours and respect like all other sportsmen.
@Jason Stewart you think bodybuilding easy?? Bodybuilding is a life styl its 24 hours with you its not like soccer you train a hour and then its done lol 🤣 bodybuilding follows you everywhere lol and you need to invest so much money and time in it! I am also a bodybuilder believe me its not easy everyone who dont lift thinks its easy i also work after work i train very hard!!
There will never ever be a training vid like Dorian Yates Blood and Guts it was 100% balls to the wall training and showed how a true icon of the sport was built.....Always respected Dorian he did it the hard way.....
Dorian Yates is a true source of motivation, even for us naturals. He's so smart no shit he won everything by himself without any outside help. I really idolize this guy and he drives me everyday to do better in the gym and in all other areas of life aswell. Keep it up DY! Edit : what he says at 8:35 about training is so true, listen to him lads!
If Dorian would not had his tricep injury, no doubt with his focus and dedication this incredible man would have competent to set a record that would not be broken. In my eyes and heart Dorian Yates is greatest Mr. Olympia of all time!
Thanks for your feedback Nathan M. Yes you are right. At this stage I'm better at speaking than listening! We talked over each other 2-3 times (my fault). I felt vulnerable about publishing it but I don't like editing as I want it to be real/natural. As this is not about me it's about Dorian I left it, my mistakes 'n all. I tend to interrupt when I think we may lose a thread or an interesting one opens up. Sometimes it creates original content that I really want (don't want same 'ol q's & a's) & sometimes doesn't work as well. It's also really hard and weird to just sit and not react as you want to show that you are interested (as I am!), but know from also being an avid listener of podcasts that it's annoying if there are too many aha's and uh hu's and yes'. Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment & I hope you thought the content was good.
Rob Moore although constructive criticism can be very useful, I disagree with the previous criticism, I very much enjoyed the interview and found your interviewing style to be very naturalistic, the conversation seemed to flow and you both came across as relaxed, happy to be there and to share information Great job Rob, keep doing what you're doing
When I started body building in 1996, Dorian Yates was all over ever magazine. I’d long forgotten about all of it. He comes across as a wise old sage. Good interview.
I found this very interesting! Finally somebody who just tells it how it is in the bodybuilding world. I happen to know a close friend of Dorians and we had a conversation about young bodybuilders or gym goers who probably wouldnt have a clue what Dorian did for British bodybuilding if he walked past them in a gym! Retired but NEVER forgotten DY!
I think Dorian as written a very big chapter in the holy grail of fitness inspired me from training to owning my own gym certain people inspire your thoughts and open your passions up that you never thought you had totally humble bloke Mr Dorian Yates thanking you 💪💪💪💪
I've followed yates since the early 90s, I like how he has opened himself to you and the world of the Internet. He is a machine. He has evolved in a world that has changed so much but the goal has always been the same. The individual challenge to seek something inside yourself. For me he is an even better role model for normal people now than ever. Thanks for sharing. High intesity for life, in everything we do.
Stumbled across this interview and am extremely pleased I did. I attended a great small seminar of Dorian's back in the early 90's, which was highly informative and honest. Loved this interview, not just for the training aspect, but the goals and business aspect just as much. Will listen again and again I think. Cheers. G
If there's anybody i'll listen to about spirtuality it'll be dorian yates, no holds barred! Not many people can get to his position and hold themselves the way that he does with modesty and integrity. Excellent individual
Damn I always love hear Dorian speak and I absorb the information but those gals makes me not hear him.. so I go back and focus again! Fockus Fockus Fockus :)))
Nice interview! Can I perhaps give some tips? You seem to have the tendency to react verbally a lot when people speek, or the tendency to immediately ask a question (interrupting Dorian when speaking). Perhaps you could try to do that less? Now mind you, you don't do this all the time during the interview, you sometimes do this! Cheers
As I stated in another thread thank you for the feedback. I like to think I have gotten better as I have done more interviews. Often as an interviewer you can be quite nervous in the presence of great people, or worried that you may go blank and not have a question to hand/mind (as I hate reading them out) & also you think you can grab onto something that comes out naturally. I try to talk a lot less now. Always room to improve. Thanks again
Lately i finally watched blood and guts. Im shadowing Dorians traning. Obviously lower weights. Im working out around 15 years now and i have to say. Dorians way of traning is on totally difrent level than ive try during the years.
Dorian may not have kept the physique when he retired but he still has the 1 thing that everyone keeps after they've stood on a bodybuilding stage; discipline.
VERY important to EVERYONE'S life is what Dorian said here... 7:31 What your thoughts are about... thats what you become!!! If you focus on negative things like worrying about YOUR troubles... or failing... or what someone said about you... YOU WILL NEVER EVER WIN!! 100% FORCES ON YOUR OWN LIFE AND YOUR GOAL OF SUCCESS AND YOU WILL SUCCEED! EVERY DAY!!
What Dorian was speaking about at 41:45. Would have fucking loved to see 1998/1999 Ronnie vs Dorian. That shit would have been a contest right there (granted Dorian was in the type of shape he was in in 1993)
To his credit Dorian has been very honest and open in recent years about his life. But there are still lots of unanswered questions. Two that I would love to hear Dorian address are in regard to the financial help he received in the early days and the circumstances surrounding his marriage break up. I find it quite baffling that someone would give a young bodybuilder from Birmingham money to further his career in a minority sport with little to no money to be made in it back then when Dorian was an unknown quantity. Hardly a good investment is it. I am left wondering what the terms of the deal were. Secondly, with regards to Dorians first wife. She had been with him from day one. What was her life like living with him? I bet she could write a book. I believe Dorian fathered his daughter with another woman. So did Dorian succumb to the temptations of sexy girls in the industry and was it this that ended his marriage.
its pretty well known that Dorian gat funded by a club owner that was into some shady buissness and Dorian did little jobs for him like collecting money or bouncing
It would be interesting if he answered your questions, but he probably was dealer for steroids and making extra money that way. Many people do that and we know steroids ain't cheap.
Interesting comment Simon. I have started to ask my community questions before the interviews so I can add them in. Shame I didn't;t do it this time but thank you
Dorian didn't father his daughter with another woman. He and his ex wife decided to divorce but were still living together. They were waiting a few more months before his son finished school and they ended up sleeping together and his daughter was conceived. They decided to continue with their divorce anyways.
Great interview... I'm Very taken by what Dorian say's towards the end at 47 mins on.. It shows he is a very switch on man when it comes to what's really happening in life Forsure..
That was pretty cool hearing all that stuff about how Dorian started and progressed..just wondering if all the written recorded workouts will ever be released in a book??..or maybe they already are some where?.
The original Temple Gym was very different. Dark and dingy cellar in a back street with low ceilings and no windows. I used to train there when it was a Kung Fu club, before Dorian took it over. Feeling old 😂
Ya'll should listen to Kevin Levronne talk about Dorian, how he would show up on competition day, just DEVASTATE the competition, and then disappear for a year and come back and win again, its absolute madness! If you want to be good at something you need to let it consume you.
Hi Dorian how do I book a session at your gym I own a personal training studio but would love to have a session at yours ,the reason I started training was because of you I'm 41 know your a insparation in a big way 💪💪💪💪
ja, i think now we focus way too much and getting other people involved. A trainer, then a physio, then a mental coach, and then a nutrition coach. the individual endevour is a lost art. just you and the gym, or you and the swimming pool. you figuring it out. I think now there are too many avenues to shift the blame. the laser focus. tunnel vision, tunnel vision goal attainment. its a lost art. Dorian is an inspiration.
Damn I always love hear Dorian speak and I absorb the information but those gals makes me not hear him.. so I go back and focus again! Fockus Fockus Fockus :)))
if someone said no beer or going out for 6 to 12 but you get to be the best in the world? Trust me Yates you didn't miss anything. You got 6 Mr o don't wine about it. Now you smoke out and do LSD😁 talk about balance.
If you were really interested in what Dorian was telling you would not have noticed women in the background. I read the comments and watched it partly again to see, and no I'm not gay
I hear so many internet training gurus that discredit Dorians way of training. Saying it doesn't work?? I look at Dorian and he was absolutely massive and there's these you tube warriors weighing in at 150lb with arms like fucking pipe cleaners telling you that the 6 x Mr Olympia is wrong? 😂.
Very good interview. Dorian is always honest and down to earth. However one thing must never be overlooked with regards to his competitive years and this is in no way meant to discredit Dorian. He had incredible genetics and was extremely receptive to anabolic steroids. Many bodybuilders have been as dedicated and focused as Dorian, but the reality in competitive bodybuilding is that if you don't have the genetics and great receptors, you will NEVER make it to the top. These factors, combined with Dorian's intelligence, tenacity and focus are simply unstoppable. I think Dorian even partly admits that Genetics play a massive role when he states that he decided that if he didn't place top 5 in his first pro show he would quit because bodybuilding history showed that the greatest bodybuilders were successful from the beginning. They didn't take years to slowly ascend. Ronnie Coleman excepted of course.
Simon Farmer no shit Sherlock. He says in many interviews that genetics play a role. He also states that he knew he would beat number 1 Mr. O back in 1992 because he knew he put in 100%. You say many have had the same dedication as him but this is not true. You're a schmuck lol.
Yes he does. And when a former top Mr Olympia bodybuilder tells people to shut down the tv and stop listen to mainstream propaganda we know for sure the awakening is on good progress :) Yeah those gals made me lose my Fockus too :))
Seriously this guy is unbelievable, the discipline and dedication he had for his profession is amazing. It's a shame UK don't respect the sport because he definitely deserves honours and respect like all other sportsmen.
Owesome Music you are right man. Its a shame that only the US acknowledges his sucesses.
@Jason Stewart you think bodybuilding easy?? Bodybuilding is a life styl its 24 hours with you its not like soccer you train a hour and then its done lol 🤣 bodybuilding follows you everywhere lol and you need to invest so much money and time in it! I am also a bodybuilder believe me its not easy everyone who dont lift thinks its easy i also work after work i train very hard!!
@Jason Stewart you must have had a lot of sand kicked in your eyes... Keyboard warrior in your mom's basement. Good luck with that.
There will never ever be a training vid like Dorian Yates Blood and Guts it was 100% balls to the wall training and showed how a true icon of the sport was built.....Always respected Dorian he did it the hard way.....
Dorian Yates, what a guy! .... So grounded and just the best bloke ever, bloody love his interviews & insights
Agree and thank you Simon
Nothing better than a Dorian Yates interview with gym sounds(weights, screams) in the background while training.
Dorian Yates is a true source of motivation, even for us naturals. He's so smart no shit he won everything by himself without any outside help. I really idolize this guy and he drives me everyday to do better in the gym and in all other areas of life aswell. Keep it up DY!

If Dorian would not had his tricep injury, no doubt with his focus and dedication this incredible man would have competent to set a record that would not be broken. In my eyes and heart Dorian Yates is greatest Mr. Olympia of all time!
without the injurity i think dorian could win 8 mr o...then Coleman became better then him
@@andreagallauco781 aways wondered lf ahdent been injured would he beat rony ln 1998 coz rony was insane that year
A great role model. Very much his own man and doesn’t follow the herd. I always like his interviews. Good work Rob

Man, I could listen to Dorian talk all day long. So positive and inspirational.
Dorian does really interesting and informative interviews. Cheers
Thank you Tom Tom
I can listen dorian all day every day. He's my role model. Great guy 🙏
I've followed yates since the early 90s, I like how he has opened himself to you and the world of the Internet. He is a machine. He has evolved in a world that has changed so much but the goal has always been the same.

Whoever invented lycra needs to be given a knighthood
Great interview. The right questions. It was interesting. Thank you very much!
5:25 is a Great Point.
One of the greatest ever, yates!
Dorian "ya know" Yates.

The brazilian one is Yates mr's
WHAT for real damn what a lucky dude
Damn I always love hear Dorian speak and I absorb the information but those gals makes me not hear him.. so I go back and focus again! Fockus Fockus Fockus :)))
R Hugh Sirius Ph.D. worst joke ever.
R Hugh Sirius Ph.D. Yeah, maybe you're right. I would Ben Dover backwards for a life like his.
Nice interview! Can I perhaps give some tips?

Now mind you, you don't do this all the time during the interview, you sometimes do this!

Nathan M generally a reasonable interview but I could not agree more
Nathan M yeah, I've seen lots of him on RUclips and he's noisy and very OTT.
i think he did a good job.
As I stated in another thread thank you for the feedback. I like to think I have gotten better as I have done more interviews.

Thank you
Dorian may not have kept the physique when he retired but he still has the 1 thing that everyone keeps after they've stood on a bodybuilding stage; discipline.
GOAT, Dorian was the first and last to compete over 250lbs ,in condition, with no Palumboism....nobody has done it since!
jay cutler
Ronnie Coleman
Dorian the greatest :) Those ladies were little bit interrupting my focus :D
What a guy ! Continued success big fella.
Agreed, thanks for your comment
Very nice Interview! - Thank you very much.
dark haired girl in the background is gal yates, Dorian's wife 💪
GAU
Dorian Yates seems a lot more comfortable talking to people now than he did back when he was young and competing.
13:24 guy in background real discrete
VERY important to EVERYONE'S life is what Dorian said here... 7:31 What your thoughts are about... thats what you become!!! If you focus on negative things like worrying about YOUR troubles... or failing... or what someone said about you...

I don't know how people are getting distracted. Idk man I was so focused on Dorian I didn't anything until I read comments.
The original Temple Gym was very different. Dark and dingy cellar in a back street with low ceilings and no windows. I used to train there when it was a Kung Fu club, before Dorian took it over. Feeling old 😂
44:29 .. background uff :P
Thanks you!

Such an amazing person
when you realase he retired 20 years ago
Yes & still in great shape
thats the point
Amazing
Hi Dorian how do I book a session at your gym I own a personal training studio but would love to have a session at yours ,the reason I started training was because of you I'm 41 know your a insparation in a big way 💪💪💪💪
Vibe hut gym ,stourbridge Free style training
Go to the Temple Gym website, or the DY Nutrition website.
Ok thanking you
I see yates ...I click
I trained at temple gym back in the day
Seems like a great bloke, intelligent and interesting.
ja, i think now we focus way too much and getting other people involved. A trainer, then a physio, then a mental coach, and then a nutrition coach. the individual endevour is a lost art. just you and the gym, or you and the swimming pool. you figuring it out. I think now there are too many avenues to shift the blame. the laser focus. tunnel vision, tunnel vision goal attainment. its a lost art. Dorian is an inspiration.
Damn I always love hear Dorian speak and I absorb the information but those gals makes me not hear him.. so I go back and focus again! Fockus Fockus Fockus :)))
Great this
brunnette in back is a Thorough bred race horse OMG! You can bounce a quatar off that
if someone said no beer or going out for 6 to 12 but you get to be the best in the world? Trust me Yates you didn't miss anything. You got 6 Mr o don't wine about it. Now you smoke out and do LSD😁 talk about balance.
Kinda hard to concentrate in the interview while 2 ladies on the back training and looking WOOOOWW!!!!
DY love from INDIA
dark haired gal in the back...just lovely
frost beam the blonde too, both hotties, kept distracting me from the albeit fascinating interview
Ha, yes it was quite funny & semi-distracting (adds to the theme!)
Dorian's wife
Yep but that’s Yates wife lool
Dorian priest of bodybuilding.
The CHAMP
i couldn't be interviewed by this guy his sound is provoking as fuk
💘
Maybe having the interview in a noisy gym was a bad idea, I can't watch this with all the background noise
Dorian claims he invented HIT but this isn’t true. He adopted those training principles from Mike Mentzer.
@2:30 Lord have mercy
Dorian "you know" , Yates
If you were really interested in what Dorian was telling you would not have noticed women in the background.
I read the comments and watched it partly again to see, and no I'm not gay
The Shadow
question : how many 'you know?'
I hear so many internet training gurus that discredit Dorians way of training. Saying it doesn't work?? I look at Dorian and he was absolutely massive and there's these you tube warriors weighing in at 150lb with arms like fucking pipe cleaners telling you that the 6 x Mr Olympia is wrong? 😂.
i know 👍 😀

Great interview. Fine ass Latina in the background too
6 x time Mr OlympiaN ?
ORIGINALINDIVIDUAL
Yes!
Gal Yates in the background didn't help me to focus on what Dorian is saying!
the shadow
those ladies do a set and rest for 24mins in between
Haha!
DorIan is great without a doubt and gives good advice .....but I was seriously distracted by those sexy girls in the background!!
Yes he does. And when a former top Mr Olympia bodybuilder tells people to shut down the tv and stop listen to mainstream propaganda we know for sure the awakening is on good progress :) Yeah those gals made me lose my Fockus too :))
Brian Superhero bodybuilding is a monk game for 12 years dorian was monk he told so we have to control in our mind from hot girls
33:🕛
too much noise outside my friend ..the girls were awesome ..
I am glad you escaped your Ferrari crash two years ago. Great interview too.
Thank you David J
Why did Dorian say soccer and not football ? We are in England champ !!
We also say soccer in England mate
if your not distracted by the girl in the backround ya might be gay. trying hard to watch this with her perfecto shape
Dorian Yates, pls do a joe regan podcast once again.
