No skin, muscle fibers everywhere, death face, nice posing.. Savage condition. A truly champion indeed
Back in the early 90s a good friend of mine here in town was getting ready for the NPC nationals. He ended up taking fifth in the light heavyweight class which I think is phenomenal especially given the competition. Anyway, shortly before the contest I was talking to him as he was riding the stationary bike and I can remember seeing the striations in his jaw as he was speaking to me and I thought damn he’s ready. Man those were awesome days!
He is a Legend
Shawn looks good
The most built dude to ever walk the planet! He even has muscle separation in his face!
Lol 😂
Two to Four sets per body part...Dorian!
I love how every time he shows his back the crowd cheers. You know that even the people who are new to bodybuilding understand that his back is phenomenal
Um, I think they're mostly women cheering 😅
@@dec13666Männer die sich mit Bodybuilding auskennen haben auch gejubelt!
It’s incredible how shredded he looks even with the cameras not being that high definition
My thoughts exactly
good point of the camera
Can you imagine how insane he would look with today's camera/ video technology
Good old dnp 😃
Lower resolution makes the image "sharper", making the difference between light and dark more exaggerated.
In my humble opinion the best front lat spread ever. He just looks “right”. Even shape as well as condition
His lats were so thick. It almost doesn't make sense.
Better than Ronnie
Truly exceptonal. Right up there with Haney.
Who is here after DY stated Brandon Curry wouldn’t even make Top 6? Lmao
This is conditioning!
Dorian's conditioning was ridiculous to the point where his skin look like a plastic.
@Kid Meoli not in a long shot mate
Kid Meoli curry has no legs, shit conditioning!
I am. Dorian was so right. No comparison as far as conditioning goes. The graininess and vascularity here are unbelievable!
Great back an conditioning is really all u can say about doran
The fact he beat them all with a TORN left bicep is unreal! Dude was a true champion.
Whaaaaaat!!?? Insanity
@@ssonicdeafmonkeythat was 97 Olympia I believe
@@magst734 He had a torn bicep in 94 and a torn bicep with an injured tricep in 97
He hid it exceptionally well in his posing routine.
Not seen grainy conditioning like that since Genova blew the roof off the 2016 Ruby Classic
Freakening
It sciencening bro. It sick it piss wOoOooOoo
Big for a bodybuilder
I'm gonna be chuckling all day about this comment
Absolutely revolting
2:07 - in an era where bodybuilders walk around the stage begging for applause, Dorian was so good he's telling the audience to shut the fuck up so he can listen to his posing music.
Ooh thats what it meant..
@@FerdinandMadsen No. It's a Freemason symbol displaying the sign of secrecy.
@@richiemac2395 lmao
@@richiemac2395 Dorian hates Freemasons, Rothschilds and the globalists. He believes the holocaust was fake. It's there somewhere on CZcams
Dorian Yates from 1993-95 would win today’s Mr Olympia!
he would any mr olympia era in fact! only 99 coleman could beat him
@@quack_meister3355 Not even him. His conditioning and size was never surpassed.
@@sonyx4500 sorry man but he was like 10 pounds heavier and way more conditioned

@@anthonyurso9366 man, arnold woulde be dwarfed by dorian lol
4:29 Dorian was the best unquestionably for years and always with that humble expression in his eyes, that's why I've always admired this man, one of the few who have given this sport a good image
He's fuller and moreconditioned than most guys on stage today and this footage is more than 25 years old
That King among men who should have been recognized more by his own country and so called other sporting bodies here in the UK. Dorian went to the USA every year and dominated , legend
and all round brilliant ambassador for Body Building and much more now.
You want a steroid abuser who now looks half the man he used to be, and smokes pots to be recognised? Oh come on!!! Jon Harris should be more recognised..he is and always has been a natural 100% Are you pro-drugs or something????

@UCwSr0jcmor011MF9oR4SbDg Every sport every athlete is different
Only those who compete in each individual sport is entitled to say if its worth it and what it is.
lack of understanding or insight is more prevalent these days opinions are like arse holes everyone
has one. If you take the time to ask one of these athletes to the face if you have the backbone
what sacrifices it takes and dedication it takes to become successful in that sport it may surprise
you. Then again you may be just one of those sad people that can`t see past your own self importance
and blinkered view of everything and everyone.
Maybe one day this type of conditioning will come back.
each generation will get bigger and softer cuz kids these days lazy
Nonsense. Ronnie, Jay, Phil, all trained and dieted hard.
Maybe it has?
Joseph1NJ Did they take diuretics as hard? Lol
R S I know. I was joking.
The level of hard work here is incomprehensible
Hes literally clad in a armour of muscle. Absolute legend
2 things that will never again be as good as they were in the 90s.. bodybuilding and college basketball!
You was like a stone Dorian. One of the best bodybuilder in the world💪🏻🖤
More like a steroid stone
The density of his muscles and insane conditioning makes him look like he's curved out of granite stone!
Master, fantastic genetics and he worked very hard. Don't talk about steroids, this is body building and rules are clear. He won because he was better than another competitors.
Im more surprised and happier with his retirement and transition back into a normal life.... a true inspiration!
These guys weren’t struggling to breath after three poses. Nice to see.
Conditioning while holding that kind of size is just insanity. Today's pros aren't even close. I noticed this when watching a 2017 Mr.O and then shortly afterward stumbled upon the early 90s Mr.O lineups...The difference in conditioning/proportion is night and day.
GTOberfest whys is that thou, you think food drugs water down genetics 🧬. Or not working hard enough. ?!?
@@gavster023 Discipline. Different generation, harder work ethic.
Absolutly..
Today's guys look like balloon toys.....with such lovely outstanding guts....
everyone training hard and all but Dorian was just crazy :D
The guys these days look soft and almost doughy compared to Dorian in the 90s . Image this in 4K . Pure Granite .
Exactly you should be able to see who’s in shape even with their clothes on just by how depleted their face is . Curry face looked almost cubby .
@@BIGT-tg4gu you made the dude below you mad lol. Anyone who thinks bb today is bettee is delusional. Sure later on Dorian had injuries and he faded but geez look at this. He has feathers when relaxed. Guys aren't horrible today but they look like they're a week or two out still. They do. Idk why.
It's mostly the stage lighting though. If you look at today's bodybuilders pre-contest (1 week out and less) pictures, they are definetely as conditioned if not more conditioned than Dorian here. The whole ''guys in the 90s were so much better'' thing is bullshit, the lighting was just better. That's really shitty of IFBB, idk why they won't fix lighting, it's not that hard
@@maxk880 You're trying to say the lighting is better in the 90's than now, that's nonsense. Every single great bodybuilder of the 90's and early 2000's, from Yates to Coleman say that today's conditioning is nowhere hear their level.
@@derekrushe thanks for speaking common sense Yates said he was in today's winning standard 12 wks before he had to perform they were like granite back then no social media no Instagram stories and certainly no selfies
Dorian Yates, undeniably one of the original "mass monsters" from the back in the day, he changed the face of bodybuilding to a point where outstanding competitors like Ray, Levrone, Lebrada, Wheeler could not beat him 6 years in a row. He set a new standard working on his own with old equipment in a basement gym in the UK. Unbelievable.
He beat them with his heart and his brains, not the equipment.
In Interviews Dorian has come across as just a great human being. A lot of humility, and thoughtfulness. Can't do anything, but admire the guy.
Except that he's a holocaust denier and an antisemite. But except for that he's a great human being.
@@neiljohnson7914 wasn't aware of that. I just looked into it and watched some clips of him and he is a conspiracy nut who went down the rabbit hole. Shame cause now all my respect for him as a person is lost.
Dorian would not stand a chance against todays line up, theres no bubble gut on him.
Lol
😂
lmao
@@Stu0808 I think he was joking hence NO bubble gut
Haha 😂
This should have over a million views. Every pose reflects victory.
It does now. 💪
Dorian is nothing but pure class at the highest level. He’s a mans man!
Dorian the level of how shredded you are is incredible the serration & tightness in your triceps amazing you changed the game
Even from the front your back was amazing
Way ahead of his time and leagues above the others here. A pioneer. I’m looking forward to getting stuck into his book
Dorian single handedly changed bodybuilding forever he brought a size and a hardness that was never seen before in one package for good or for bad body building would never be the same again.
That damn conditioning is crazy
There’s not enough people mentioning the word “conditioning” in the comments.
Lol...dats all u can really say about doran...an his back
I like conditioning
Same with Brandon Curry ...
This comment could do with some more conditioning
@@excommunicado9737 and his calves
You will never see such hardness and density on a Mr.O ever again
03 coleman is way harder and drier
@@TheLusianPopa hahahh I know you're being sarcastic with me
@@ohmy9261 what u mean>?
@@TheLusianPopa my cute little Romanian friend I know you consider 03 Coleman as watery and sloppy whereas you consider Yates the best thing since sliced bread, you're getting good at this trolling thing!
@@ohmy9261 03 wasnt watery and sloppy?
Yates at hsi best beats any ronnie
the 03 coleman is simply not conditioned enough and too flawed in many respects
the late 90s ronnie comes close on condition but cant win enough poses
dorian has ronnies number whatever the version
and yeah i was trolling you
Aside from his share size and density he has a very powerful presence, a quite confidence that no one else had.
It’s on Another level let’s be honest here...👍
He looks like a bronze statue. You know it's crazy conditioning when it looks fake.
I used to scult years ago I did one of dy back in the 90s the hardest part was getting that hard look took fucking ages to get it right...
That was legendary....He was an outstanding bodybuilder who truly deserves to be admired forever!
Live Long and prosper Dorian!
Man!!! His condition 😮😮 you can see all the fibers visible in his body!! What a legend
That was top notch conditioning. Truly inspiring.
DY is by far my favourite body builder of all time and Mike Mentzer a close second!
Mike menntzers principles are good and scientific, but his physique wasn't impressive. Cmon bro.
@@jahdjajbdj731 you must be high
He was the first bodybuilder to get a perfect 200/200 score at the 79 Olympia.
I hope in the future we may have the technology to remaster these old VHS vids in 3D 4K quality
that ill put to bed these whos the GOAT debates
That olympia anthem so classic,need to be played in every olympia
Who else is able to bring this mass with class in today's Olympia stage? Please aware me.
He would overShadow anyone who tried even by today's standards
Kevin Levrone is better
@@coreyjackson9905 lol
NOBODY!!!!!
2:00 that look 🔥🔥
even his face is shredded 😎😎
Being a bodybuilder all juiced up in the 90s must have been so interesting ; almost 90% of them didn’t admit to their use and so many normies wondered if it was really natural or not .
On top of that , learning all the ins and outs of bodybuilding AND p.e.d use would be a nightmare without the internet .
Besides that , the 90s were one of the best decades . I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that besides the 80s aesthetics, the 90s was the peak of of bodybuilding in terms of mass/aesthetics .
I remember back then on the age of 14..me and my buddy saw this monster in the muschemag magazine..the other day we go to the gym..thank you dorian for the motivation
Maybe the best the Shadow ever looked. Thanks for posting.
Check out 1993 as well 😉
Dorian guest posed at a show I did in October of 1994 in CT, like 2 weeks after this show and it was fucking insane! He blew up another 20-30 lbs!!
Incredible physique. Truly something to aspire to.
The perfect physique, stylishly topped off with a subtle mullet.
One of the Best Ever! God bless The Shadow
Never seen anything like dorian, muscles popping outta everywhere
Bodybuilding will never be this good again. DY the GOAT.
WOE! That's so fucking impressive it's unreal!
Some of the best conditioning ever bone dry grainy and veins popping with good mass on top Yates is an all time great no one in the last 15 years had had this type of conditioning in the olympia
2:08 the coolest moment in bodybuilding
Today you can see professional bodybuilding before DY, and after DY. He change the sport forever
I don't know where some BODYBUILDing critics get off insisting Dorian's physique was unaesthetic. This is an aesthetic masterpiece.
IF I COULD TRAIN WITH ANY BODYBUILDER, ANY MR OLYMPIA FOR THAT MATTER...IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE DORIAN YATES!!!!💪
Dorian would be my 2nd pick behind his training partner Leroy Davis.
He seems like a badass training partner!! You're on to something!
Arnold only
It looks like he's made of different stuff. Amazing.
this brings tears of joy to my eyes.
Wow Dorian looked amazing here. His condition was next level.
The last time I saw this level of detail, Venus still had an atmosphere.
Venus still has an atmosphere. It never lost it's atmosphere. 😁
where's Vincent K McMahon? he needs to offer this man a contract
Andrew Smith - LOL, a fellow viewer of Nick's Strength & Power here.
If you know your history. McMahon did offer dorian a contract but he turned it down.
@@makikharoon7670 it was for his bodybuilding show, offered him a contract worth loads of money but it was all about winning Mr Olympia to Yates so he said no and the rest is history
Every connection is there! Every grain and fibre bulging out. Hands down the greatest ever!
This dudes back was NEXT LEVEL! Absolutely huge and shredded , separation, straight fibers through the muscle. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I quit caring about the Olympia after Yates retired. That was a champion. Actually Coleman was great too. But my favorite of the 90s was Yates. Just pure determination and grit. His conditioning was second to none and the size was perfect.
Never realised that Dorian comes from my home city of Birmingham, UK, till he was on Joe Rogan podcast. His accent is so jumbled up but u can still hear the Brummie!
Can you just imagine seeing this guy with full HD TV? He would be unbelievable.
Some people come along and just change the whole game and how it's played. His routines were really snappy and hard movements compared to the regular graceful poses. He changed it all. He was awesome.
Amazing simply amazing, one of the greats
This is so far the best conditioning I have ever witnessed. ... Hard dense sharp and grainy as a granite ...
He was exactly right on Rogan when he said he felt he couldn't even really fit any more muscle on his frame. The guy looks absolutely carved from stone. His tris look insane, to say nothing of his back, probably his best area.
His back was truly incredible!!
I remember the first time I saw dorian hit a lat spread I thought it looked like air bags went off inside him
That back was INSANE!!!
extremely outstanding, king Yates
Watch this Mr. Olympia for the first time in Brazil, renting a VHS tape in 1996.
The core of Dorian's back and calves were amazing.
Good times.
Just look at the back on Dorian 😮
Insabe hey
He would end up flying with those lats
The best back ever
and look at the bloated gut
le Art Phil Heath right?
The greatest of all the bodybuilder
На мой взгляд никто до сих пор не смог его превзойти в развитии спины. Да, это генетика, но и продуманный тяжёлый труд.
I really like Dorian not just for his dedication to the sport , but his depth of knowledge on all sorts of different things , what I really struggle with is some of these brown tongue comments oh Dorian oh Dorian give it break and be genuine there’s more to him than just his physique watch his London real documentary !
This is called TAKING THINGS TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
And almost 30 years later, the current crop can't get close to this. Tells you all about modern bodybuilding.
The condition that Dorian was able to bring to the stage was phenomenal! Dorian was the king of condition!
That lat spread in flex magazine: Atomic Explosion !!! As little kids and cousins growing up amazed us..
Dorian your the man,great bodybuilder and great guy from a fellow Brit,best Mr Olympia ever period.
Still a better video quality than 2018 olympia
Can not lie I watch today's guys but honestly Dorian and the bodybuilders of the 90's have the best looking body's in my opinion!!! They had it all size conditioning tiny waists , just the total packages .
NGL of all the pro body builders, I am envious of Dorian's Lats.
The thickness and mass with conditioning, best loom for dorian! That insane back!
Pure legend! I remember growing up in gyms with his posters on the walls 😬
I was privileged train in Metroflex Arlington for two years, alongside guys like Ronnie and Branch. At the time the bathrooms were plastered with photos of Dorian and Arnold. Shows where the inspiration came from for the next generation
better than any pro BB today
That is pure dedication to get that condition
1994 Dorian Yates did really well to defend his title with a triple injury!
Amazing bodybuilder. Huge respect for Mr Yates!
The best paper thin conditioning a Bodybuilder can get to the level of fullest extend.. a sight to remember to the legendary Dorain the shadow who introduced Mass Monster physche ..🙏 salute!
80´s 90´s age. The pinnacle of pure human talent. low technology high mindset.
Dorian was the first guy I ever saw in a bodybuilding magazine maybe year 1993...I think he was one of the best ever and he still is a great and smart guy 💜🇫🇮
