Back in the day Dorian was like a mythical figure. All of a sudden he was just “ there”. He was everything a bodybuilder at that time wasn’t.

When he speaks you just cannot stop listening. He’s right up there as one of the best of all time. For me a true inspiration, and a hell of an interesting guy. The Shadow!
He didn’t want to be aesthetic that’s the thing. He said himself he wanted the judges not be say “oh wow amazing physique” but more along the lines of “what the fuck is that?!” And he achieved that. What a beast
Bro look who has won the olympia last 3 years. He looks way more well proportioned than lundsford, hadi , and ramy. Lunsford has a small waist but everything else is out fo proportion and soft so he ends up looking like fat muscle

Levrone and flex have both said they could’ve given more during their careers. Yates claims he didn’t miss a meal in 10 years. That was probably the difference, I’d class levrone and flex as more talented than Yates. Yates even said he regretted showing Kevin how to perform bent over rows correctly because the next time he Kevin onstage his back was insane.
Sick of hearing about Ronnie Coleman. The man looked like complete shit. Won 8 titles due to his size & nothing else. Dorian looks like his made of pure granite. Carved out of stone.
Matarazzo had big calves but they werent attractive. After Dorians incredible back is his incredible legs. ESPECIALLY HIS CALVES. What people dont understand is even with one arm. Dorian only had to TURN AROUND. And when the judges saw that back. And those DIAMONDS. IT WAS OVER. LIGHTS OUT, GOODNIGHT VIENNA FOR EVERYONE ELSE. LIKE FORGET IT. And that's him from his traps to his Achilles tendons. It was OVER.
Intense training does something special to the fascia over the muscles that increases separation. Jeremy Buendia trains only somewhat intensely and it already gives him great muscle separation and quality. Dorian trained much more intensely and on almost every set, so he got that crisp grainy look.

That was "real" 260 pounds.Rock solid granite muscles no one has looked that grainy since Yates.Well Markus Ruhl did in 2002 and that was last time real "grainy" look was seen on stage.
No one practice the Heavy Duty like Dorian Yates, that s why no one, will ever achieve his solid muscles, nowadays is only steroids with not so much workout.
@@lincolnls050505 I know even Jay Cutler was dry in 2009 but he like many others simply didn't have that grainy look.Only Markus Ruhl matched Dorian and only in 2002.
Dorian is absolutely the most dedicated and self-motivated bodybuilder who's ever lived. A game changer. A champion. The one who did the most with what he had. Best back of all time. The first to hit 250 in his condition. Nobody can ever take his accomplishments away. He also defeated arguably the best array of competitors. Chills.
"Talent you have it naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft." will smith quote, that's what comes to my mind when i see dorian, he's the incarnation of work hard, it pays off NO MATTER WHAT !
I believe it would be impossible 4 Dorian 2 keep up that intense training 2 failure each workout, day in and out without that marvelous training partner he had. this guy push him hard.
@rob foster the question is can you really train as hard Dorian did? Can you really train hard that you throw up afterwards? Ask yourself these questions before you go on ranting.
Dorian broke the mould with his muscle mass back in the day, I remember going to wag Bennett’s gym in east London where Arnie trained back in the day and seeing a poster of Dorian and thinking, wow he is huge, but when I see people like Nick Walker now it’s all gone to another level, enough respect to Dorian, I’m sure he helped pave the way for Ronnie and Jay and future bodybuilder’s……….?
When you compare the two champions Dorian Yates and Phil Heath even though Phil got a superior genetics Dorian Yates mindset is superior and his hunger to be great.Phil Heath is a great athlete but he's not a warrior like Dorian Yates.
@ According to Ronnie himself, he was better in 1998 yes. But according to everyone else 1999 is superior. In 1998 it was 3 points between him and Flex, but in 1999 it was a whooping 20 points different with a perfect score. Lots of experts though for some reason, think 2001 Arnold Classic was his best. But I personally don't agree with that. 2001 was an off year for Ronnie Imo.
People come from good family backgrounds this man had his ups and downs thought live, bin in turuball though his trauma and put all he had to give, that's what made this man a true worrier in the gym he gave it all to get were he did, mentally and physically conditioned in every way possible . Long live Yates
Those 93 black and white pics were insane ,,,Dorian had weak biceps and his chest wasn't the best but everything else was just immense and so conditioned very worthy winner of the sundow
Those who saw his physique in person witnessed a density to his physique that is generally not visible in these low quality videos from the nineties - it gave him the unique edge over his competitors. To this day I do not believe any professional bodybuilder has emulated that degree of conditioned rock hard musculature.
He had a work ethic that was far beyound normal. His mindset.The mindset of a serious warrior champion. #DorianYates

Yet he was still complete and symmetrical. Sure he wasnt as aesthetic as his competitors but dorian's physique isnt unpleasing to look at straight on.

"No body trainned as Hard as me. How do I know that? Because its not possible".

His calves are insane. His silhouette is inhuman with those.

Dorian Yates, all the years, fight against himself, because he wanted to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time!
He is a legend...
when ur driven 2 achieve your goal. I love what he said. " life is going 2 knock u down, and u have 2 get up!"
What a Beast! much respect for a Champion! a Legend! One of the Best Body builders EVER!!!!! God bless Mr Yates.
Best ever the GOAT greatest what ever you call him Dorian is best.
this is the best video I've seen about Dorian Yates.
It's a shame that there are limited videos of him training.
The shadow Yates ...an unbelievable density
Watching this gave me shivers , one of the best to ever do it
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!
One of the greatest influences in my life.
By far the best video out here ..the likes should match the views
the one the only shadow never will there be another dorian
His body was like a plate of armour chiseled in granite....haven't seen a bodybuilder with that "look" since him, probably never will...
Best description in one sentence !
Intense training does something special to the fascia over the muscles that increases separation. Jeremy Buendia trains only somewhat intensely and it already gives him great muscle separation and quality. Dorian trained much more intensely and on almost every set, so he got that crisp grainy look.

And the mind set of a true warrior champion the greatest Dorian Yates.
Best Dorian Yates video I've seen so far
Could not imagine going through that much pain in a work out. Holy shit
That is the SHADOW
Dorian yates is a specal man all heart or noting ,respect dy never say never .👍
He was really awesome, I think hey
is the best bodybuilder ever!
Is a Monster, his physique is like a beast.
Even Champion. Bodybuilders speak about him like he is fucking myth..just amazing
The Shadow!
He changed the game for sure! He was a moonnnnnnnster
I believe it would be impossible 4 Dorian 2 keep up that intense training 2 failure each workout, day in and out without that marvelous training partner he had. this guy push him hard.
He already won 3 Olympia before they train together which means he always work harder before they even met
He said he is doing rotations. 2 Weeks HIT to failure, then 2 weeks off and probably doing some different styles.
3:25 Especially here, he doesn't resemble human he is real life hulk
One of the hardcore bodybuilder, isolated , claim his title, and had invisible for next competition, the shadow
The details put into this video... amazing. Showing him training the part then the body part in competition
Dorian the 1and only not human but machine fuck yeah 💪🏻.
Even his 6 week out conditioning was far better than today's Mr. Olympia on stage competition conditioning!!!
most motivational video period.
He has the best back i have ever seen
1:11 that sound is enough for motivation
The best back in the history of BB

@rob foster it't not high-intensity interval training LOL.
@rob foster Well he won 6 Olympias and he's in fantastic shape now so that proves everything you've said is bollocks.

He does not train as hard as me. It’s not possible. 2024
