I can keep on listening to DY for hours.
That's high volume lol
Hey my name is Surya Das - glad to see another person with same name.
Me too
Thats true. Dorian is a genuine champion always willing to navigate a path noone else wants to go, and that includes his stance on the holocaust story.
Me too
A 60 year old former mass monster. So rare in this sport. Dorian is awesome!
he didnt took as much as them kids these days prob
@@rando5278 he took plenty
He is very intelligent.
yep no Covud vaccine in this guy
@@johnlammergeier2890 He would NEVER! too smart for that BS
I've worked out for over 12 years and I'm a big dude. Pretty strong and when I started training like this I got bigger in 6 months than I did the last 4 years.
I've trained like this too. I'm curious. What was your set up? Meaning sets/reps but I see Dorian and others do their first exercise and I understand the warm-ups several and a heavy set but then I see his second exercise is a warmup but it's still real difficult and them his heavy set. I'm just curious on how you pick a weight that's a warmup but it looks and is taken as a hard set? Why not just warmup enough, not tire yourself AT ALL and go in on the heavy set?
he never answered you@@jessebradford7130
Yes
I've been lifting intensely for many years. I know some say it's the "wrong" way to lift and can lead to injuries or taxing to the CNS, but I just love the euphoric rush I get after an intense workout. I've tried sub-maximal training leaving 2-3 reps in the tank in compound lifts with lighter weights at higher reps and more sets, but I just got bored and didn't get the same type of rush..
@@jessebradford7130 I personally to the original 531 and go balls to the wall on the AMRAP set. I follow that with 3-5 sets of 3-8 reps of the opposite lift at or near failure. I then do accessories, 2-3 sets of 4-8 reps to failure.
Mike Mentzer is a legend. He trained Dorian. There are a few good books out there by Mike. I can attest…HIT or “Heavy Duty” training works.
dorian always mentions mike mentzer when discussing HIT which shows great respect
We should all be grateful to Arthur Jones and Mike Mentzer.
Dorian's nearly 60 wow looks well doesn't he
Yeah geesh wouldn’t think he was nearly 60. Good on him especially for someone who was taking gear.
Look his age to me
Because he only used drugs to teach his goals. Once he reached them, he had nothing to prove and stopped. Smart
@@CommandoG331 you can’t just stop taking steroids Dorian is on HRT because he blasted gear in the past his body no longer producing natural testosterone so he’s still juicing but in low doses to a healthy level
Lost a lot of mass because of drug use.
This style of training is so effective, that Dorian's competitors had to step up their game, just to catch up. Thus why any top tier pro bodybuilder of the 90's could blow away today's contemporary Olympia competitors.
Then along came Ronnie crazy strong genetic freak 😂
@Jew Jew who had a heart attack ? Dorian is healthy (besides his injuries) still exercises and looks great for his 50s and is still naturally quite muscle bound.
Ronnie has spinal injuries, still lifts anyways and is still ripped. None of them had heart attacks as far as know, and both could build a lot more muscle than any of us without steroids
lol none of them trained like dorian at all. so whatever they stepped up to? was what? doing more? because sure as sh-t none of them cut back on their training.. they trained 4, 5 or 6 days per week and sometimes twice per day..
It’s not the style, it’s just that Dorian was much more dedicated to his training. He would have been mr Olympia on any training system. Most guys took time off and stopped trying to get bigger past a certain point. Dorian changed that.
@Daron Brown Ronnie just pushed himself too much but the good thing he said that his kidneys, liver heart and other organs are still healthy not like today where like they die to organ failure...
He really puts the difference between volume and intensity into perspective. Yes, higher volumes is what most people do go drive hypertrophy and time under tension. However, a couple warm up sets and then a couple all out heavy, intense working sets will drive the same stress to also build muscle.
Correct. But I wouldn't say same stress. Hit will just tear the muscle up right there and then destroy it fast. And volume will pump it slowly over time in the end its the same result over time. Hit Is more strength focused volume is more pump focused imo
@@rednirabkriv5376 thanks for the clarification. I think i personally will just stick to volume training and slowly increasing the intensity over sets while feeling the muscle work.
thats still volume bro
@@drewgonzales4533 Yeah I suppose you’re right. That coupled with the high reps and heavy load probably comes out to a large amount of it. Thanks for responding
@@jaycescanlon5927 no problem bro
“You have to be careful with the information these days..” what sound advice that can be applied to many things in addition to fitness.
Dorian is my all-time favourite - giving us his 40 years of experience through videos. I am in the best shape of my life thanks to watching your videos DY, thank you for everything!
I say, after years of studying, training learning: Dorian Yates is the best. Dorian, Thank you for all you do.
i use Hit in my training also... key is getting mind muscle connection and not over training.. at 62 now with over 50 years of training with weights etc i still am always learning and tweaking exercise and diet...
I agree. I’m 59 and have been training for the last 40 years and I am always looking to learn more effective and safe ways to train. I’ve learned intensely is much more important than volume and frequency. Find out what is best for your own body is my philosophy. Train hard ,eat right and recover completely before training again.
@@shamrock8561 Yes, i use all types of training and have very intense sets as well as regular sets each week...even on my off days i will do various planking and some various type jogging and calisthenics in back yard for 10-15 mins .I think at my age the main thing is to eat the best i can and keep moving...
how many sets do you perform per exercise?
HIT training, the tool for Dorian to reach unseen levels of pure mass... The greatest ever
Thank you for your kind word! Cheers!
Great drugs too.
@@user-xe5fz6se9j Dorian and most other bodybuilders in his era took drastically less PEDs than modern guys. Yeah the drugs play a roll but you won't benefit from them at all unless every other part of your routine is perfectly dialed in
"The greatest ever"? Sorry bro but this vid is about Dorian not King Ronnie! you got the game a bit twisted there
@@tmackn6592 took ronnie nearly a decade to win , dorian only at his third attempt
You changed my life when you talked on the JRE podcast. I learned finally how to properly train 💪
Love that!
How can you not treasure these wise words from this LEGEND 💪💪
easy, he. wasnt natural at the time
@@homerdadon6363none of these guys are natural. Doesn't take away from the fact that his training methods work and are much more efficient than volume training.
59 years young. Got back in the gym recently and started H.I.T. this year and wow... explosive results... watching Dorian is a real changer.
Been putting off training with HiT for years. Finally just started doing it. Best thing I’ve ever done 😊
Smart guy. Gotta respect his work ethic and cerebral approach to training!
I have followed Dorian since he first won the Olympia title,always read his articles and worked to adapt his method to my own workouts.
Such a smart and methodical champion, could listen him to for hours on end
I'm using this type of training and it's working 💪I'm putting on size so quickly... if done right
Keep it up
Can you share your schedule bro.
@@DorianYatesNutrition I have a question please, did u do HIT style training for most of your career? In other words, won't the body adapt to this style over long term and hit a plateau? How can one keep progressing doing HIT all the time? Change routine or something else? Appreciate your input legend and much appreciated.
Howd it go?
@@DorianYatesNutrition 👊🏿🔥
Dorian is a real gift ! and he keeps sharing his gift , a fantastic human !
Dorian I'm 44 and am a cabinet builder, not a bodybuilder, but I do lift. I'm learning about HIT and will be adapting this into my routine along with plenty of good rest
Mr Yates you were and still are my all time favorite bodybuilder. I watched your videos 100s of times, I am so glad you are still in the game and helping others. Much respect and admiration to you sir.
Your Training is timeless and will always be effective for those who know how to eat and rest. The only guy I have every seen as intense as you is Franco Santoriello being trained by the Legendary John Parrillo. I watch this before I train often still. I bought the VHS when it first came out. The passion expressed is so raw. This is training like your life depends on it. I love it!
Dorian's wisdom is high up like a sage. Legend is a word often used too much but in Dorian's case he's beyond legend status. 💪💪💪💪
Your approach to training is so on key with body & mind. The mind is so fragile at times that it needs the body to absorb & release the stressors of life.
King of muscle and now the king of podcasts 😆 STILL can't get enough of this guy !
Love the way DY just cuts to the chase. No BS! Thanks DY, we appreciate it old boy
He's so concise and great at communicating
I've been listening to a lot of Mike Mentzer's old tapes regarding his HIT programme development. Fascinating! Love to see you continuing the works of Arthur Jones & Mike Mentzer.
I bet Dorian knows more about anatomy / nutrition than most doctors!!! Could listen to the champ for hours!!!! Cheers for sharing the knowledge brother!!!!
DY is the man, love his approach to fitness...my body tells me when my workout is complete, which is always around 45-60 mins...thanks for the content!
First time listening to Mr. Yates indeapth. Simple, straight forward intelegent. Glad I stopped by. Thank you sir
Been watching bodybuilders Trying be a bodybuilder my whole life and past 34 years I dream is coming true thank all the bodybuilders for everything
I can keep listening for Dorian for hours .....😌
Thank you Dorian. ❤ all your knowledge here in Kansas City. Been an inspiration to me back in the good old days when I looked forward to getting my monthly workout magazines. I was subscribed to all of them! You are a great inspiration to this 54 yr old lifter! Cheers
Where do you lift? I go to the River Market GymKC
@@captainnosmo1 metro fitness. Small gym in Argentine
Dorian you have and always will be a inspiration to me you are a gift of great ness to the world god bless you and your training partner family and friends.
You are so kind
Going back to gym today after 4 weeks off, having Covid and then getting food poisoning.. time to watch a bit of Dorian to get me in the zone
One of the best videos from Dorian Yates. I exercise with HIT and it does work for me.
DY just seems a good dude. Explains well and is really encouraging. GOAT.
Thank you for this video Dorian. Only just discovered your channel despite being a fan. I’ve been training 37 years on and off. I competed for 8 of those years in Olympic Lifting lifting but professional career and injury has seen my yo yo to extremes regarding fitness. Now I’m 50 I unfortunately am very sick with immune and neurological issues but I’ve gone back to the gym despite being told to rot by doctors. This video has really boosted my resolve as I find it’s the way I now naturally train as I don’t have enough of a time window due to my illness taking its toll as the day wears on. Get in get it done get out 👍🏻
Btw you stayed in my mates house in Ireland during a competition. We were in the Air Force together 💪🏼
Thank you coach Dorian.
So simple & informative..
Wow, you can see/hear the Mike Mentzer influence, even the sun analogy. 2 greats changing the world of bodybuilding forever!
My first introduction came 20ish years ago from the max ot method. Competed 100% natural as a junior against guys that were on gear and ranked in top 3 regularly. That was the first proof for me the hit was very efficient for muscle growth. (although I had to diet down about 3 times longer than the guys on gear to be same low bf level).
Become obese in 30s(35% bf).
When I turned 41,decided I needed to do something... 7 months later I was down at, dexa and calipers, verified 13% bf.
I still do hit as that's what I know, and funnily enough, there are quite a few guys (including personal trainers) coming up to me and saying I'm training too hard, I don't need to go to failure etc etc, yet I've shredded down and added 3kg muscle in this time, but the ones that are talking, I've seen little to nothing changes in their Physiques. Second time proof that hit works.
The hard part is learning what failure actually is, and it's not the ache, or burn, or red face etc... It's when the muscle can't do another rep, regardless of what you want or wish.
It's something that needs to be practiced and trained to get to that point.
To those doing it, keep at it and be proud of your achievements, to those are not, give it a try and really commit to doing it for a few months before fleeting to another program. It will change so much for you ;)
Mike Mentzer was a guy ahead off his time.
Fitting video recommendation for me. I just took a week and a half off after plateauing in my strength gains.
Going to get back after it with some HIT! Break through the barrier!
Amazing examples
Never gets old hearing Diesel and also always shocks me just how conditioned and hard he was.
Could listen to this guy for ever,he's brilliant.
Seeing Dorian quest pose had me in awe. I never had seen a front lat spread and calves that big int he flesh! He is my all time favorite & also the he only bodybuilder (aside from Mentzer) that I got inspiration(I modeled my training after Dorian's) from and from age 20-21 to almost age 25 I made amazing gains. I wish I had more of mentor (not crazy training partners) that could have got me to stop the ego lifting and pre-exhaust.
Doing HIT for 32 years now - Dorian was a great motivation already back then for me. But HIT is not for the weak minded.
Very clued up great training strategy
One of the only ones who trains like a blend of bodybuilder and power lifter with the long rests and heavy
I think HIT is the way to go, especially for intermediates and naturals. Most fanatic trainees make the mistace to train to much volume, while not forcing growth and not regenerating.
Doing less, and concentrating more while doing it is the way to go.
great advice Dorian esp for the younger generations, who think more is the better
The first page of the book in Mike Mentzer's books blows that theory straight out the water and Arthur Jones book is just genius.
looking fit and healthy, a great example of discipline. best rgds
My Favorite Bodybuilder of all time. His mental toughness was incredible!
Much respect. I cut by bodybuilding teeth reading Arnold's encyclopedia of bodybuilding. Though while in the military never really put on size until I started with Dorian principles. He became my blue print. I love blood and guts read book and watched video constantly. Much respect DORIAN !!
Got to go to his gym in Birmingham the legendary temple gym he was doing a seminar a full 3 hours going through all his techniques training with him correcting our form man he was great
Legend! Thanks for the tips
🙌🏼🔥True body builder, love his honesty thank you Dorian
Thank you, for your kind words! Cheers!
@@DorianYatesNutrition ultimate creatine complex cherry 👌🏻thank you
Always been a fan of Dorian, he looks great unlike a lot of other retired bodybuilders.
Great information thx!
Also if you compare the training to failure today compared to the extremes Dorian went to, he has showed that you can go to failure without risking injuries by using machines. He has learned how to get results while prioritizing recovery and still training intense
Very beneficial video. Thanks from Pakistan 🇵🇰.
The way Dorian uses his analogy makes you realize how smart are bodies and really amazing they are
At 65 yrs old this is the way to go
Great info, stay calm, carry on!
Thank you Dorian! Your advice works!
You're so welcome!
@@DorianYatesNutrition you using hyperplasia .
because he using hyperplasia overwork muscle and heal about one week proof at genetic beast channel.All bodybuilder even ronnie coleman had fake muscles.Larry wheels its weak he cant beat schoolboy because schoolboy have a lot more fibers satelites that means he faster stronger bigger.Pumping and going 4 days a week never grow muscles.Remember when first time you was in gym and have pain 4 days sore muscles that means newbie gains that your muscles rebuild because micro tears.What you want to do repeat this whole life first day upper body second full lower body and heal about one week and sleep eat a lot clean protein food.Thats real bodybuilding .Do 5x10 all parts upper body even 10x20.And for lower body 8x10 .that truth how dorian yates build muscle he was saying that but video was banned .Negalima tempimu daryti per tas 5 dienas
I am concerned with higher risk of injury doing the last 100% set squatting, dead lifting which do contain above average risk already. Next question is can I do it without a partner helping the last 100% sets? Thank you for all the info Dorian you are putting out. Your content has been the most helpful for me of all the hall of fame bodybuilders...
I've been training the Yates way for over 30 years what would you like to know?
@@MrVictoria69 Hey, did you ever have an injury?
@@AmusementForce Never had anything serious just a strained lower back from time to time. The one area I really think a person ahould be careful of is too many forced reps doing biceps. You could tear it right off the bone if not careful.
@@MrVictoria69 what about training without a partner
@@suryanshkalia6546 Unfortunately training with a partner died out in the 90's. And asking for a spot these days is alien also. Spotting properly is an art form in itself. Also the guy who's moving the weight has to be able to lift it to so the spot doesn't turn into some savior movement. A person shouldn't have to use anymore than a couple fingers to help the guy get past the sticking point. Anymore than that and the fucking guy is using too much weight. Anyways I can answer a thousand questions if you have. Been doing the Yates Way for 30 years.
I have just embarked on a HIT training program. The more I learn, the better I like it, and at 3 sessions in am loving the quick workouts
The "too much information" thing is actually huge insight.
6:00 David Goggins swears by that principle too. It’s truly great to make room for physical challenges to help us out in all areas of our lives.
From Brazil, you're the best of all time ! Thanks Shihan ! Dorian the Shadow !!!
great video. I'm starting to switch to this type of training. high volume and long hours in the gym have taken their toll on me. I'm hoping I respond well to this, looking forward to a change.
how is it goign?
Updates?
I love that Dorian scientifically explains everything he does. Most CZcams “ experts” just spew nonsense.
So true
The Great Dorian is looking and sounding like a wizard these days. Than you sir.
The best advice ever. DY ❤️
This great man deserves more subscribeers than he had
watched this video about 5 times now, yates is like an encyclopaedia of information
What you said about there being “too much” information coming from the so-called internet experts.. I felt that👍🏾
Keep the information coming
Will do!
Great video! Absolutely correct...
Great video Dorian
So true, love him and his trainin partner too amazin
Dorian's Blood and Guts tape pretty much changed my life, not just my training style. Because along with faster muscle growth came higher self confidence. After only 6 weeks or so, of applying Dorian's style, guys in the gym who were on juice (I wasn't) kept asking me what new juice was I on.
Awesome Dorian thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
One thing I noticed about Dorian in 93 Mr O video. His muscles were massive and rock hard at the same time, with muscle maturity and paper think skin allowing the striations. Mr O Jay Cutler did this same kind of look in 2009 and all remember his most famous quad stomp pose..Mr O Big Ramy did in 2020. Since bodybuilding is an individual sport.. I dont think the formula can be chalked out for future!
Great champ great knowledge.
Great info thanks 🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful!
I can personally say this method works!I've managed to get rid of junk volume and keeping my training sessions at maximum one hour, with focus on intensity and increasing weight. Lost 62 kgs in a year and not slowing down.Salute to the Shadow!
I am the same age as Dorian, I discovered in 82, the same way he did. Worked so much better than the conventional marathon style.
Mike Mentzer: "Arnold could have reached his goals alot faster if he's followed a scientific training programm like mine."
Top information from mr olympia
I’ve been slowly transitioning to HIT training. Hardest part for me has been cutting down the volume. So used to the old bro split, with a couple of warmup sets followed by 8+ sets to failure twice a week per body part. Definitely overtraining. I noticed more gains on weeks where life gets in the way, and only make it to the gym 2-3 times. Rest is so important.
I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around HIT training, but I am going to start doing it today.
I have been doing killer training sessions for the last 5 years. Got some really good gains, but lately, It's teetering off.
I do so many sets for legs (like 12 sets on quads, 10 on hamstrings and 15 on leg press) Just to grow. My legs won't grow unless I torture them.
I need to try HIT to see if I gain.
I have been training for 31 years. About ten years ago, I fell in love with HIT. I never had better results since I started it! The efficiency is perfect, and the pump is fantastic. I still love it. I now have much more time for other beautiful aspects of life. I am spending more time with family and friends and preaching the good news of God's Kingdom. As a Jehovah's Witness, I look forward to training young and in the best health again! Maybe someday with Dorian. That would be nice! We will see.
Yeah Dorian. I get it! Now I just gotta DO it! Awesome as!
Sir Dorian also knows exactly what’s going on in the world too ! 👏❤️🙏💪🌎🌍🌏
Dorian is a legend! And his wife is awesome I look up to her 🙏🏼
