Title: Dorian Yate was the last real bodybuilder
Post by: blackpele on September 04, 2014, 12:22:29 AM
Dorian had no guru, no trainer, no social media to hype himself, nothing, the guy even left his home at 15 year old, having a real job in a factory, no gay for pay, prostitution or shit like that.
 Today's bodybuilders are a joke, I still remember Phil Heath being interview at last year's Olympia, the chick asked him why he can't stand up and he told her that his guru had him sitting for at least three hours.........

Hardly any of the early 90's guys had gurus... They all did it on there own, now even the gurus have gurus...

I remember a few yr back taking the piss on one of the UK boards when a well known 'expert' was training and prepping guys and was getting his own prep done off somone else?

if you think nobody advised dorian on his prep or that there was no g4p you must be naive

everyone learned from somebody or several people .. the science of getting ripped is more complexthan people think and dorian was very very conditioned for most of his shows

Theres a difference between learning from people and having your will handed over to another person. Dorian was always an individual.

He talked about this in some videos after his retirement..

That badically he was so OCD during his Olympis run that everything he did, evey action he took, was pointed at winning his next O... whether it be diet, training, drugs... loke a man possessed, he pushed everything else out of his life..

The only thing that existed was being better, being bigger, being more conditioned, eating correctly, druggimg correctly...

He never took time off and he never backed off... which ultimately is why he tore so many muscles...

He also stated when he retired he was so lost without that all encompassing lifestyle that he floated around, got himself into trouble because he had nothing to focus his mind and insane drive and willpower on anymore. I think he said it nearly would have killed him had he not met Gal and started to find some balance in his life.

I recall him explaining his behaviour with that he wanted to treat BB as a serious job, and thus would be serious all the while he was competing professionally.

yeah ive hear him say that as well, the interviews im speaking of were fairly recent, and he was reflecting on his competition days.

That he went full bore into BB so much that he drove everything else out, and everything was eating, sleeping, training, hormones.

Something like that. Dorian used a variation on his ideas, but he trained with much, much more volume than Mentzer advocated.

I believe he even said he trained with a ton of volume in the beginning of his career as well....

Good post and I agree.
Now, we have a ton of social media postings.
Had Dorian been Mr Olympia today, no doubt he would have utilized social media to enhance his fan base.

The modern sports world has a lot more analysis and fan attention on every detail due to social media and even fantasy leagues.

Kai, Jay and Phil are as much a bodybuilder, as Yates and Arnold were in their times.

I have a hard time believing that. If anything, I thought he always downplayed the drugs and claims to have taken no more than the next guy. Even if people didn't buy it, I thought that was his official stance with everyone.

I lknow someone who travelled with him to a few of his Olympia's and is still a close friend of his, the statement of taking more drugs than anyone is totally out of character for him.
The comments about being dedicated year round are totally in character, thats why he said flex and Kevin would never beat him, they didnt live the life 24/7 365 days a year.

His interview i was speaking of he only spoke of the drugs as 'hormones', and never talked about usage except when directly asked about letting his kid use, and he very fankly and matter of factly states 'of course, he already does, theyre just hormones.'

He syas everything he learned originally came from things like Llewellyns book on hormones and that he didnt uae anything crazy, just the same stuff that everyone else used

 :D

First Steroid Cycle

Dorian said that his first cycle was used as a tool to maintain muscle mass while dieting. This is what he used
wks 1-4 Daily 20mg of Dianabol

wks 5-8 Daily 15mgs of Anavar and
Weekly 100mgs of Primobolan

He started at 8 wks out weighing 205. He competed at 210-212lbs. Since he lost BF% it is safe to say that he added a decent amount of Muscle mass.

The Mr. Olympia Cycle
Weekly
Test prop 300mgs
Parabolan 152mgs
Primobolan 500mgs
Daily
Anavar 50mgs
Growth Hormone 8iu

Off Season Stack (was usually 3x8wk cycles)
Weekly
Testosterone 750mgs
Deca-Durabolin 500mgs
Daily
Dianabol 50mgs


I tend to think using pure common sense, the above is utter nonsense for a male to walk around with that amount of BF and at that weight ? pleaseeeeee
Even with good response - He is heading in the 5gram plus zone - that Olympia stack is less than females are using and not a bone dry 260 pound man
A poster on here (Disgusted ? Sorry if not you Jimbo) knows where Dorian was getting the GH Pens , lol @ 8iu.

Dorian and Paul Borresen shared many similarities and same way of thinking in Hormone use.

Daily would be more conceivable - but that would be a lot of Primo money wise , but at that level the cost of AAS use
is minor - Mr O wouldnt pay for gear after all , R-hgh may have still been paying for

The prop and Tren seems right for daily shots

Maybe EOD if he really was an elite responder? Im sure gear costs were different for guys that connected and at that level.

Yes EOD could also be used , it was the 90s , guys today are using much more so former EOD protocols have become ED.

I know a unit of a man in Oz, I'm not going to say his name so think I am safe in sharing this.

Dropping long esters and starting his show prep he runs 3grm prop weekly , starts Tren at 700mg a week and tapers up to 1.4 gram.
Adds in other drugs through the course like 1.4mg masteron and orals here and there plus growth, uses both t3 and t4 and lots of ancillaries
for sides.. plus what ever fat burners he can get at the time, speed etc

I said I know competitive Bodybuilders lie about there doses and play it down so should I triple that to give the real amount and he laughed and said he knows guys that use more and he's
been bodybuilding for 20 odd years, he's not one of these new Bostin Loyd disciples so Dorians cycle , that's no where near true.

From the 70s doses have increased with each decade - Sergio used to measure his Dbol out in the palm then pour salt on them , chuck in his mouth and gulp down with a large glass of what
ever he was drinking, Nubret was said to do the same a long with Arnold - they were cranking it in the 70s so by the 90s ?? genetics didn't give that extra 40 plus pounds of lean tissue - larger doses
and peptides being introduced did.

Hmmmm so you know his next doors neighbours ex gf's cousin?... Don't be stupid, Dorian pushed the envolope in everything he did...

My point being that was what was almost a norm amongst his British peers... And he took how much? I think dorians great but I wish he had just refused to speak on this as I can't take him or anyone who beleives it seriously

to be fair I get why he understates it. If I was 21 and heard pros took x y z doses and drugs I would have been stupid enough to take them as I was mint at the time. At 21 consequences are an irrelevance.

I disagree.  Yates was his own man and not reliant on gurus to hold his hand.  Also, to the best of our knowledge, he never had intercourse with citrus fruit.

Totally agree, but it takes both.

Youre not giinf to get Dorian on 1.5g total gear no matter how great his response his....

It takes both genetics and dosages.... have to have both... the better genetics you have the less you need, obviously, but itll only get one to a certain point. Shittier genetics, higher the dose to get to the same level.

I don't understand why people are so interested in what was his cycle, I am far more interested how he was so mentally strong, remember we are talking about a guy from Europe, bodybuilding in the '80s, unknown, no backing, nothing  and yet rising to the top against all odds.

I think proof of that is the video below where he talks about the mind games that Shawn Ray used to play.

whatabout leroy

Leroy!    Leroy was the coolest and he had no idea what cool even was. 

Dorian and Leroy were at Golds Venice after winning the 1995 O.  They were in town for 7-10 days for post-Olympia photo shoots.  I said to Leroy, "brother head over to the Pro Shop and grab whatever you want. Wave to me when you're ready and I'll take care of it."

15 minutes later Leroy waves to me and I walk over.  Sitting on the counter he has (2) sweat shirts, (2) tank tops and (2) tee shirts.   I smiled and said, "Leroy my man, we have lots of cool stuff, leather jackets, hats, embroidered logo shirts and pants. Come on man, we (Golds) want you wearing our stuff. "

I managed to talk him into a couple leather jackets, 5 sweatshirts, 5 tee shirts, 5 tank tops, a couple hats, and a good size stack of Gold's gym shorts and pants.

Leroy!    Leroy was the coolest and he had no idea what cool even was. 

Dorian and Leroy were at Golds Venice after winning the 1995 O.  They were in town for 7-10 days for post-Olympia photo shoots.  I said to Leroy, "brother head over to the Pro Shop and grab whatever you want. Wave to me when you're ready and I'll take care of it."

I agree . This guy said he tried every combo known to man and never got over 170lbs (http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=549122.0;attach=577365;image)

Dan D had an article where he said he talked to Dorian around 1991 about GH use and said Dorian was using less than most guys and said he was too scared to use more.

Who really knows but out of all the top 90's guys no-one looks better than Dorian right now the rest are small or nothing. Alq Gurley who looked 25 when he was 50 looks good. Lee Priest looks good too, still big. Labrada looks very good. But of the Mass Monsters no-one looks anything except Dorian.

For me the only disapointment with Dorian is his bussines sense. When he retired at 1997, if he had launched his line then and push it harder, he would be a giant right now like Optimum, BSN, or Gaspari. Instead he just allowed his hame to be used by a supplement line called 'Dorian Yate Approved' which was a complete flop.

Well, many of them stopped everything after retire going HRT route, some stopped even training... Priest still juicing big time, Labrada still juicing, Yates still juicing... Admittedly though, Yates looks very good, healthy and in shape... The GH story is obviously bullshit, imo...

Agreed. But now he has his Dorian Yates supplement line, hopefully it does well for him. One thing though is he needs to get more distributors in the US to carry it.

For the drug abuse he endured and the way he looked in 1997, sure he worked well to look like this today... Looks young, healthy, in shape and muscular... Of course he's juicing but still...

Around the time he got face punched and had the black eye, he looked pretty much average.

He looks phenomenal now though. Dude is a machine. Hes the only BB in historynto REVERSE polumboism.

Hardly any of the early 90's guys had gurus... They all did it on there own, now even the gurus have gurus...

I remember a few yr back taking the piss on one of the UK boards when a well known 'expert' was training and prepping guys and was getting his own prep done off somone else?

Joe McNeal (McNeil) was the one that got him peeled for 92/93. Seem like it was some extreme stuff and he mentioned that he was having kidney and or health issues back then.
Then Chad. He had recommended Joe to Dex as well.

Maybe, and maybe he might not have lasted as long as he did. It was the accident that did him in. After that his confidence was "shook".

He may have helped here and there, but I think Charles Glass was more trainer than "prep coach" aka guru.
If you look at the bbers from the 90s vs today, it seems like the "gurus" back then got the bbers in better shape than today. Even run of the mill bbers like Patrick Lynn, Derrick Whitsett, Milos, or Michio Grubbs look better than many of the top finishers of today.

Dorian had no guru, no trainer, no social media to hype himself, nothing, the guy even left his home at 15 year old, having a real job in a factory, no gay for pay, prostitution or shit like that.
 Today's bodybuilders are a joke, I still remember Phil Heath being interview at last year's Olympia, the chick asked him why he can't stand up and he told her that his guru had him sitting for at least three hours.........


big ramy does everything alone too so what?!..
