Title: Dorian trained harder than Ronnie
Post by: Bluto on December 01, 2008, 12:20:58 PM
Funny story,

I was at the gym today and this bunch of guys were talking about how hard Ronnie trained, refering to a few of his videos... when I stopped and said "Excuse me fellas, but as hard as Ronnie trained, he didn't train as hard as Dorian!" that shut them up good!

Fucking right he did! Let me tell you a miraculous story. Once upon a time...

The Legendary Mike Mentzer: (http://www.ilguerriero.it/codinopreatle/bodybuilding/immagini/heavyduty/clip_image014.jpg)

introduced Dorian to a brilliant muscle-building system called High Intensity Training.
It made sense, so Dorian tried a set of rows to failure
(http://www.postimage.org/gx1_lo0r.jpg)
and he liked what it did to his back:
(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=250267.0;attach=290208;image)
That worked out well for Dorian, so he applied the system to other exercises as also.
My goodness, it made all his body parts grow like never before! Dorian was in love and would stick to the system for life. It made him grow so effectively that he changed the size standard in bodybuilding forever.
He grew so much, some people even thought Dorian grew too big!:

Drugs...Ronnie was bigger because of better genetics and drugs....at that level your training style doesn't mean shit.
Title: Re: An interesting story...
Post by: Soundness on December 01, 2008, 04:43:00 PM
Drugs...Ronnie was bigger because of better genetics and drugs....at that level your training style doesn't mean shit.

HIT REVOLUTIONIZED DORIAN AND BODYBUILDING CONSEQUENTIALLY.

Once he switched to this type of training he broke into new levels.
The rate of gain was abnormal, he couldn't gain at that rate on his old routines, but when he switched to HIT with the same drugs he saw his rate of gain increase many times over. You act like drugs is the only factor.  ::) Thanks for at least pointing out his genetic advantage. The drugs were a major factor, I'll give you that, but others have had to take far more to get such size.

Yes, Dorian raised the size standard, he revolutionized bodybuilding and forced everyone else to take more drugs. But to ignore the changes that occured DIRECTLY following his change in training is wishful thinking. It's apparent you're on a mission to make Dorian Yates look bad.  ::)

I never seen Dorian take 800lbs, and squat it below parallel.They both trained equally as hard, Ronnie just did more sets.
Ronnie even front squatted 5 plates.Ronnie was bigger and had better symmetry .

I personally think coleman took it to the fucking max. heavy weights with high reps

Yate also had great work ethic but not like colemans

cutler works his ass off

levrone trained hard when he was training

I like ruhls trainings to.

Title: Re: Dorian trained harder than Ronnie
Post by: Soundness on December 02, 2008, 07:53:39 PM
I consider how "hard" someone trains to be the highest momentary point of intensity achieved. I'd agree, they both trained hard as a mofo, but under my definition Dorian trained "harder" than Ronnie because he measured the success of his workouts by the point of INTENSITY reached. Ronnie had more volume, but that would require the intensity to be more equally distributed between sets, therefore sacrificed. Intensity was Dorian's goal and that's what he would strive for in his workouts.

More volume doesn't equal "harder training" to the extent that a higher point of intensity achieved does.

dorian has never displayed the intensity that ronnie has during his 800lb deadlifts or 600 lb squats.  ;)

Post by: Charlys69 on December 03, 2008, 10:26:15 AM
Both trained hard...thatīs for sure...but also both trained different....

Ronnie trained heavier, but used a lot of momentum in some/most exercises...his reps where much quicker than dorianīs
Dorian trained heavy, but only so heavy that he was able to control the weight, his reps where slower than Ronnies.
Ronnie most of the time did more reps than Dorian, but the Time of the sets where pretty much the same (12-15 speed reps like Ronnie did, equals the same time Dorian need for 6-8 reps).
Ronnie trained with more volume & hit the same muscles earlier (some 2 times a week) than Dorian (maybe 1 musclegroup in 6-8 days)

Just look at 10 Prof. Bodybuilder, and you will find 5-6 ways how they will train....

In the End: "it works for Ronnie and Dorian" (together 13 Sandows....)

no ron didnt train harder

he didnt pus himself as hard as dorian pushed himself.

he pushed heavier weights, total, but they were not as demanding on ronnie as the weight dorian pushed was on him.

dorian was spent.

ronnie had more gas in teh tank.

conclusion:

dorian wins

Soundness, bud, just so you know, Mike Mentzer never INTRODUCED Dorian to HIT, Dorian was always doing HIT even from the start, he only worked out with Mentzer only about 3 times and Mentzer made a name for him self because of that because he said he was TRAINING Mr. Olympia.

This is false, in his interview Dorian says that all the influence Mentzer had on him was making him cut his volume alittle further.
His training is very different than Mentzer, and he has time and time again mentioned that Mentzer's training system is not appliable to real life, even though it sounds great on paper.

I'm just sick of Mentzer getting credit for Dorian's HIT, that's all. :)

You've got it backwards. Casey Viator was training HIT under Arthur Jones when he swept to a stunning victory at the 1971 AAU Mr. America, where an unknown Mike Mentzer placed 10th. Mike and Casey talked after the show, so knocked out was Mike by Casey. This led to conversations and a visit to Florida. The rest is history....

I guess if less sets and less weight and less training time means training harder.

And before everyone goes on about his 'intensity', I can't imagine Ronnie's feeling during rep 12 of 200lb dumbell chest press, with what is actually rather good form, is anything other than total intensity. I suppose he could have done some pointles forced reps, or 'injury reps'.

Plus lets be real:

Normal pyramid training is 4 sets with progressively heavier weights ending on heaviest weight for as many reps as possible.

HIT training is once all out set to failure, preceeded by 2 or 3 warmups with progressively heavier weights. As Lee Priest pointed out to David Henry THIS IS THE SAME THING.

Dorian strikes me as much more targeted in his training approach.  Dorian has a methodology to what he does in the gym, where as Ronnie seems like a guy that would just go in and try throw around big weights.

  Yep. You got it on all points.  Mike did introduce other bodybuilders to HIT-in the 70ls Dave Mastorakis, one of the best short men ever,  much later he did train Aaron Baker and David Paul for a while.
