good vid, i still remember back in 93 walkin into fitness 2000 in jersey n seeing yates on the cover of flex magazine n i was thinkin this has to b photo shopped cause he looked to damn freaky. early to mid 90,s were great yrs
That's from the first Battle for the Olympia.
YEAH,,,HE WALKED THROUGH A FULL LOBBY IN 92 MR SUBURBAN NJ SHOW AND LOOKED LIKE LIKE HE STRETCHED LEATHER JACKET HE HAD ON TO FIT AROUND TO COWS ..
i remember seeing him at the suburban in 93 or 94 guest posing with flex wheeler n he also came to diamond gym n trained, pics didnt do the man justice when it came to pure freaky muscle. it was the yr when we had that huge snow storm njflex, i think we got like 3 ft or something right?
1993In Flex Wheelers book, Flex said that he & Dorian were trapped at the hotel for a long time. Blizzard conditions. Sounded like they were sharing the same room (cheap ass show promotor). Flex said that Dorian was very cool.
i remember john kemper who was the promoter offered to let yates n flex stay at his house but they said no, im not sure why but i do remember he offered. kemper ran great shows(rip)
Serious question:Was Kemper a normal guy? Or was he a bodybuilder "groupie" type?
he loved bodybuilding n i remember times at his gym guys didnt have the money to pay there monthly dues n he would let them train n give them time to pay,he was really cool like that. i think he produced more pros outta his gym than anyother gym on east coast, that gym was/is the best imo as far as motivation,equipment,making connections ect. i guess he was a bodybuiding groupie in a sense since he was a pretty awesome bodybuilder back in his day
yates is the man
