Actually kyomu was at some of the shows and said that Yates was less impressive in person.
so kyomu, who doesnt speak english is no the ultimate source?
you will take anyone's word as long as it agrees with you.
what about peter mcgough (your hero now regarding the other thread and his quote which you post weekly), paul dillet, ian harrision, flex wheeler, shawn ray, nasser, fux, priest, etc.
this list goes on and on about praise for yates.
you either ignore it or cant read.
maybe your extremely intense workouts on your bowflex are making you stupid or unable to read.
