why do you say nonsense? have you see the vid where it is him and jamo doing leg extensions? there are striations on yates quads. he is still ripped and big. im 200 and im sure he is atleast 40 pounds bigger than i. not too mention he still has teh sauce running thru the veins.
i asked jamo and the reply was "255 @ 10%". i dont think this is bullshit

Dorian called me last week and we talked for awhile.  He just had shoulder surgey and could barely lift his arms.  The last time I saw him at the Arnold he weighed maybe 210 tops.

the vids are made after that i am sure and we all know yates knows how to put it on, he could easily    gain 15+ pounds. he is a condition king, knows how to get ripped.

I honestly believe Dorian is totally content with what he accomplished in the past.  6-Olympia titles and only 2 2nd places.  The man is a legend and has NOTHING to prove.  Why come back and jeoprodize that near perfect record? He said on Pro Weekly that he was beginning to consider other ventures from bb in 1997 and the injury just was icing on the cake. He could no longer train at the necessary intensity to remain Mr. Olympia. Dorian is a big guy and naturally muscular.  He says he still trains but at a lower intensity and I would have no problem beleiving he is about 225-235lbs and relatively lean in his mid 40s.  All hail the Shadow!

maybe the fact that his shoulder was bad he couldnt train/eat and hence the shoulder surgery. 


besides, for a guy that once weighed 310 or so, and no weighs 250, thats a substantial loss and no hard to believe that dorian weighs that much now.


a few months back, there was a grappling mag that had dorian in about his mma training (no, he doesnt plan to fight, just working out) and he had a pic with his shirt off - easily 255 and low bodyfat - still had the calves, forearms, and even his chest was still very thick.

I didn't really ask him.  He wanted to write down my email bt told me he jsut got sholder surgery and that it would be easier for me to email him and he can just respond later.  He seemed in a little pain.  He is supposed ot be in LA next week I think for a Fitness Expo he is putting starting to promote his Temple Gyms.  Riverside, CA.

he should've done like most of the pros, cut the weight by half and just go for the pump

after years and years of juicing, your body doesnt recover this is fact, i would say Doz like a lot of retired old pros is using anti aging dosages and small amounts of growth hormone, im talking like 250mgs per week of sust and a couple of ius a day of hgh.
Dont flame him for that, all you natural guys look like shit, most drug free heroes on here dont even look like they train.

Those types of dosages would be beneficial and wouldnt do you any harm, especially if your over 35.

I saw yates pass by me at the Arnold. that bama cant be 255lbs, that's insane. he's at the most 230lbs. Arms dont look great at all.

Well we don't know what your arms look like so I tend to take what intern-fans say with a grain of salt . ;)

Yes it does. A lot of pros got big backs, and they dont train like him.

Everybody. How many people trained as hard as Dorian? Ronnie? That's one.

There's no evidence whatsoever that you need to train like Dorian or Ronnie to have a champion physique.

Well i do. And i've seen yates arms throughout his career, from a bodyweight and age i'm at now to his sorry state currently.

I guess i'll live safe in the knowledge of what i know and you don't.  ;)

You're right pleanty of guys can build champion type physiques without the Yates/Coleman type intensity but their hardcore type training does set their physiques apart from their contemporaries , Dorian's extreme density is a result of his type of training , Ronnie's outstanding size is a result of his , and notice both of these men beat everyone else .

Again you couldn't be any more wrong  ;) I was routing for Flex in 93 and ironically like Milos said on PBW that the sport would have been better of if Flex won in 93 and I've said that all along . anyway again you're making the claim you provide the proof  the burden lies on you.

Post by: delta9mda on July 25, 2006, 08:33:57 AM
what do you mean by better if flex won. i hope we are not talking about the acceptance of the general public cuz that aint gonna happen and it dont matter if it is heath that wins the o or any other "aesthetic" (like any juicer in swim trunks dieted down is going to be aesthetic) bb'er. not ripping heath he looks great. the winner is the most heavily muscled, best conditioned man on stage. how "good" they look really has nothing to do with it.

It would be better because there wouldn't be any guts and bodybuilder would be more complete . I'm not under the delusion that bodybuilding will ever be as big as baseball but it could be bigger . the winners of late have been the biggest & best conditioned , leaving balance & proportion & aesthetics to fall by the wayside , I understand that sport of today is willing to overlook the forementioned because we're pushing the boundries of size & conditioning , but remember long before guys were 300lbs onstage , physiques were more complete and aesthetic , quality should supercede quantity .

has he altered his training style, i.e. 1 working set only or 3 sets at lighter weights etc?
