Dorian Yates - chest, back, delts, arms, and legs.

Hard to hear the guy over the background chatter of the gym, but it's worth re-watching parts just to get the info.

I agree with SamsonD about the Declines. All the guys i knew back in the seventies that had great Chest development did Declines first every workout.

I know, man. It's sad but true. Moreover, he is a short guy so it doesn't take long for him to fill out. It's tall guys like me and Arnold and Lou that have to train the hardest and longest.

I just recently started using our Hammer Strength pullover and lateral raise machines routinely.
While not a fan of most machines, I will admit that a small few are quite effective and maybe even superior to their free weight counterparts in regards to aesthetics.

Equipment such as the ones above, as well as the pec-deck (elbow pad version) can help you maximize work involvement of the target muscle due to the point of tension placement.

I'm a member of LA Fitness and it seems that they carry the pullovers in most of their gyms I've been to. One even has both the standing and seated calf raise machine.

every pro has his theories when it comes to training and they all end up looking the same

at the end of the day it is the drugs that play 90% of the role here

heck, look at branch warren he has the worst form i've ever seen and look at his physique 

Yes but theres a night and day difference in their physiques

love his attitude on social media as well, such a humble guy just living the life and doing it right. Amazing competitor and cool to see him actually living well unlike a lot of champs who seem to develop so many issues while in their glory years.

Great post man. The older and wiser I get the more I see things like Dorian is explaining them here. I'm not to sure I agree with his HIT style though. More sets is good for me, and less risky overall.

Imo high intensity training is very dangerous for an enhanced bodybuilder, Dorian suffered many injuries from this kind of training

Informative.
I usually do Dumbbell HIIT https://www.elitesports.com/blogs/news/top-8-dumbbell-hiit-workouts-for-a-total-body-burn workouts for the strengthening of my core, arms, shoulders, and back
Dumbbell squat
Dumbbell Bench Press
Dumbbell clean and press
Dumbbell bicep curl
Dumbbell lunges
These workouts are great for increasing my intensity, strength, and flexibility.

That's just circuit training.
