Title: How did Dorian do this with no training?

This pic is from the 1994 MR O. He did not train his upper body at all for 6 weeks prior to the show (because of a torn bicep injury caused by doing barbell rows with 440LB). I know that he is far from his best. But to retain his size with ZERO training shows that he had great genetics and an unreal response to drugs.

Post by: doriancutlerman on March 05, 2012, 01:47:17 PM: He actually was training. I remember him saying that, after the biceps injury, it took him a little time to curl the 25's again. Of that, he even said sarcastically, "What a beast."

It does seem like he couldn't train some weeks for one of his shows -- maybe the '97 Olympia? I vaguely recall a blurb about him not lifting for three weeks before the contest :?:

But three weeks, six ... up the gH enough and it'd probably actually help him come in bigger.
