enjoy! dont get caught up on the fct that he supports high intensity/low volume exercise.  maybe you think another way is better. but his comments on exercise selection, proper execution, form, musclke function... etc.. all very good stuff!!! inspiring as fuck

Great stuff Bombz. I wish I could find some stuff from Dorian on Diet, both contest prep and offseason.. Seems like there is a bunch of shit out there with his name on it that I cant tell if its ghostwritten or not. Some of the stuff from flex contradicts the "real" stuff I find and doesnt even sound like him. lol.

the guy was his own experiment and did quite well with it,no guru,just locked himself in his gym and didn't emerge until he was done with pushing the genetic limits.

Dorian will always be my favorite Mr. O.  He was the first one I saw as a teenager when I picked up a mag and videos.
Hardness like no other and incredible back.  I like his attitude towards training also...Long live the King. 8)

Nope...Yates is awesome....Although not the best Mr. O physique, I like the hardcore attitude....Oh yeah, I forgot the best calves ever also...
You know how it is when you're young bloke.  You're very impressionable and that's what Dorian did for me. I remember as a kid doing everything I could to get my lats wider to be like Yates... ::)...Oh brother.

Have I been critical of him in the past?  Yes.  Why?  Because people were comparing him to Ronnie and I feel in sheer mass and quality, there is no comparison. Dorian had Ronnie on calves, hardness, triceps and back thickness and Ronnie had Dorian in size, shape, separation and every other bodypart. 

For his time from 93-96.  Dorian was a God.

Ronnie did
Flex did but never showed up in shape so really he didn't
Levrone didn't Levrone is overrated btw
Nasser didn't...Nasser was business in the front, party in the back.

levrone did, he had more wow factor and no weaknesses. nasser did, again moire wow factor, easily beat dorian from the front, and barely lost from the back.

The main reason why I like DY is his approach to training. So many pros just go in the gym and throw around the weights. At least with Dorian, you sensed a methodical approach to his training. More "scientific" than the other pros. You can tell he thought about his workouts. Guys like Branch Warren are a shame. Stupid idiot. Grunting, and throwing weights around in the gym like a moron. I even respect Ronnie's training. He isn't a moron like Branch.

Damn, does Branch annoy the hell out of me when he trains. All drugs right there.

iow ouldnt call it scientific, just well thought out. people who take a "scientific" approach generally miss the point. dorian seems to have came up with all of his ideas through trial and error. while i dont necessarily agree with everything he has to say about failure and frequency, all of his thoughts on workout selection, proper form, techniques to better work a msucle..  all golden.

I wouldn't call it scientific either, thus why I put it in quotes  ::) Plus, trial-and-error behavior is part of the scientific method. Finding out what works and doesn't work, etc. So, if you wanted to get technical, his approach was scientific. However, I am delving into semantics now  :D
