Title: Dorians injuries
Post by: kevcat on May 13, 2008, 11:27:32 AM
I have a basic idea of Dorian Yates and his training, achievements etc but just wondering what exactly were the type of injuries he picked up throughout his career that made him retire?? The bicep one is obvious, but im just generally interested in finding out more and not about starting any hate or comparisons thread LOL

Most of the pro's who had a chance to train with both, usually agree on two points:

1) Training with Dorion was pure agony

2) Ronni really loves orange chicken.
Title: Re: Dorians injuries
Post by: Bluto on May 13, 2008, 12:36:04 PM
Post proof of these findings.

well let's reason about it:

dorians method of choice, was training as hard as possible. evidence of this can be found in numerous articles and videos.

ronnie had a totally different method of choice, he hardly ever even went to failure.

from this the logical conclusion is that dorian trained harder than ronnie.

I just don't know ...Like you wrote..They both had their own methods ...Charles Glass was asked.. Who is the hardest training person,you've ever trained ? He immediately said Ronnie ...He said just standing there in that 100 degree weather had him nauseous..He has no idea how Ronnie can go that heavy, and at that pace . I read that somewhere ..So please ..Don't ask for the article .

No offence, but isn't the whole thing a bit old, Dorian retired ages ago. How come some people don't move on? Why would you actually care whether Dorian Yates trained harder than Ronnie Coleman or vice versa?

Yup. Of people I know the ones who ''reminisce'' constantly aren't doing anything in the present, and don't have any future plans. Just have a ''fuck knows..but somethin will come along'' attitude. You can imagine if Dorian was on here reading these threads about him I guess he'd be bored to death with 9/10.  :-\

Quote from: Ron
6) The boards are meant for a fun place to go to, but lately, all we saw is negative post after negative post made by a handful of people. That will go. So many people, in the industry, around, would like to post, but they don’t. Do you know why. Because they do not feel good about the comfort level here, because if they post, they will be attacked. This is crap. This has to stop. Even when they post something positive, they have to defend themselves.  If you think this is censorship – you are right. I don’t mind discussions, arguments – but deal with it like you are talking face to face with someone, and it is no problem. Ownings, meltdowns, and so on just to provoke needs to go.  There are alternative boards, even here, for your fun. The alphabet boards. Leave the stuff down there.

To answer your original quesion, to the best of my knowledge, Dorian had four major injuries which cumulatively ended his career.

In 1994 he tore his bicep doing barbell rows (but with a light weight as he was stil warming up)

In April 97 he tore his shoulder doing decline presses with 500lbs, then he tore his quad a few months later in the June (not sure what exercise it was).

He competed in what was going to be his last Olympia in 97 and then sometime in late 97/early 98 he tore his tricep. It detached from the bone and would be the injury which forced him to retire for good.

If he hadn't got injured, he could have kept winning the Olympia for as long as he wanted to.

  The Ronnie guys probably failed their graphic design classes in college. Their pics are so badly photoshopped that anyone can spot that they are photoshopped right away.
