    Dorian had such a unique physique. He's the only bodybuilder that actually looks like he was carved out of granite. I think his HIT philosophy, the pull-over machine and the reverse T-bar rows created something we'll never see again.

    • @bigbaba4542
      @bigbaba4542 3 года назад +1

      Using the HIT philosophy, pullover machine and reverse grip rows could be easily copied or imitated, and I am sure people have modelled their approach after Yates. So none of these things are probably the secrets to his success. He probably could have trained any other way and would still would have gotten the same results. If the HIT method was the secret to success, there wouldnt be one pro bodybuilder out there who wouldnt train that way. And not one guy who wouldnt use the pullover machine or reverse grip rows

      @@bigbaba4542 people just can’t believe it, but high intensity with high weight will demand your body to grow super human. Show us anyone training like Dorian and maybe there will be another. I personally love to train with heavy weight, high intensity, the pump lasts for two days like you grow overnight. Closest thing to natural steroids.

    • @MrRaitzi

      I luv ​Arnold but u defo. Couldnt trust the guy or asume he'd be a nice guy to meet. Ive met Ronnie briefly and he is exaxtly what you see, he literally is 'yeh buddy' '. I met. Cutler after a seminar and he was very polite and genuine. DY my fellow countryman I met at his Booth then later I took a leak and he was next to me so yes I pissed with DY. He was accomadating but very quiet. Haney I'd love to meet and Lee Priest I'd love to meet. I'm English Biased to DY but overall he is 3rd best Mr O. Lee haney is 2 and yeeeeh Buddy is number 1. However Haney is number 1 when it comes to consistency as both DY and Ronnie started to look worse as years progressed, Haney was always on point.
      Honourable Mr O- uncrowned is defo a. Prime Kenny Flex Wheeler.
      Levrone and (cough)baby Shaun looked amazing.
      I think by DYs admission he doesn't follow todays Bodybuild ing LIVE at shows or he would see that todays new batch are as shredded, cross striated, paper see thru skin. Send Big Rami, Nick walker, Flex(new Welsh flex). Hadi, lee Labrada and if KRIZO and Andrew jacked hone there sculptures then things are going to get interesting then. Also y is no1 is interested in few Sergio JNR anymore?

    Dennis James used the same training split as Dorian Yates in an a.m. and p.m. mode.dorian Yates day 1 chest and biceps day 2 legs day3 off day4 delt, trap, tricep day5 back and rear delts day6 off. Dennis James split day 1 morning chest afternoon biceps....etc etc. The word "Lazy bastard" was originally used by Joe Weider. Arnold Schwarzenegger used this term in "pumping iron". Now Flex Lewis has used the same expression. Coincidence??? One of the factors in Dorian Yates conditioning is that Dorian Yates has extremely thin skin. Dorian Yates did martial arts before he decided to focus solely on bodybuilding. He would get bruises from regular blows due to his thin skin.
