Dorian Yates "4000 Calories is the lowest I ate pre contest"
« on: September 08, 2013, 07:07:47 AM »
Just stumbled across a seminar from Dorian, Mr Olympia Shawn ray and Kevin Levrone that took place in the UK earlier this year.

Dorian States that he kept records of all his food choices, even offseason as a tool to tweak his performance and refine his physique.

6500 cals offseason was the norm at his peak bodyweight and never went below 4000 cals cutting for the Mr Olmpia contest.

Lol I could eat that much but I would turn obese in a few months. Then again I'm also not supporting enough muscle as he was and I'm not on the drugs he was. Hell I eat less when I'm trying to gain then he does pre-contest if he really was eating that much.

Funny, that's not what he say's in his Blood and Guts vid ~



Oh well, Mark Phelps "supposedly" ate 13,000 calories a day.



It's all a joke.

Swimming is the most calorie consuming sport out there, spend a whole day swimming, you will be surprised how much you will eat after.

he also got pretty fucking fat during some of his off-seasons, i question wether he really needed that much...I recall hearing him talk in a recent youtube video that he realized towards the end of his career it was a mistake to eat that much as it meant that he ended up having to cut for much longer to get to low BF levels again...

4k calories is nothing if its fast food,icecream and chocolate and the such.

phelps, maybe he ate 13k calories on one day,he didnt claim he ate that day in day out.

as for yates 4k calories, thats a shitload of clean food, and hell no never did he diet on 4k cals to get cut.

absolute bs

LOL, you're a nobody.

I always get dramatically hungry after swimming.

4000 calorie thing is correc twhen you are loaded with 9-10 gms of gear with some growth and igf thrown in. The more the androgenic level of  your system, the more calories you can eat, and those calories are going to go in the right places. And the androgenic level is directly proportional to all the anabolic drugs you have in your system. Most of you guys will never experience this situation because the androgenic level of the pros takes a lot and A LOT of money and dedication.

Well, I know personally guys that diet on >3000 calories and get in great shape. To each his own, I guess.

As far as Kevin goes, he's so obviously full of shit. He lies constantly. Interview with Palumbo? Guess what, he will claim that he dieted on fish only and no carbs. Dorian? Oh yeah, I ate just as much but maybe 500kcals less. He makes this shit up all the time.

Everyone is different. When I was competing as a LW I would eat 3k calories and my training partner was a LHW and he had to eat 1800 calories.
