That attitude soon changed with his monumental success.
Dorian won Mr. Olympia six consecutive times. He changed the bodybuilding industry forever with his physique and insane workouts.
Tune in to this episode and listen to his unbelievable story. You don't have to be a bodybuilder to learn something from this guy.

Dorian was great as usual. Is anyone else wondering why this guy conducting the Interview is wearing moon boots. He looks like he thinks he is about to go walk on the moon not do an interview.
@@tylersierra8948 No, cause those are just high Air Force 1's.

I’ll just go get the boys
I once literally bumped into Dorian in Wolverhampton centre and for someone who was or still is a single minded machine, he was so humble and nice. He had his photo with me and my son and chatted for 5 minutes. Definitely a hero of mine.
Never tired of hearing The Shadow, even if I already know most of these topics.
Now that is called a student of the game good for you
@Tony covid though
Amen brother
Second that
Agreed, he has a very strong grasp on reality.
Seriously finally one other person who thinks faking a smile doesn’t feel right for pictures
Yeah I’d rather look serious than fake it doesn’t mean I’m not happy
@@aprlv6732 - Yeah, there's nothing happier than a serious person.
Manic Mute
He’s seriously happy.
you have no idea how much we respect Dorian in middle east as a man and as bodybuilder he is a great champion..
That’s why I don’t smile in my pictures
Dorian is a Great example to teens who need to express anger in a positive way. ✌✌🏋🏋
i agree 100% , if Dorrian went round to naughty kids schools & prisons etc im sure his story could really hit home, sadly most people from not the best upbringing tend to go down the " recreational" drugs route
George K Scones, Tea and Barbell.

So pretty much all of them
Angry kid goes ٩(◣д◢)=3 *TV*
Dorian Yates is so much more than just a bodybuilder. He's like a life coach with his inspiring speeches. He's like Muhammad Ali was more than just a boxer and gave the common man hope.
@Brett R Ali was right not to go to Vietnam. By 1968 most Americans were against the war. Why shouldn't Ali be pro black with the way they were treated in that era.
@@jonnybravo3055 - There are no good wars. Used to think WWll was the good war then I learned, by reading the evidence, that WWll was decided before the first shot was fired.
Arnold's a prick
@@joebate9267
Arnold the con artist
Absolutely
Dorian is the most hardcore bodybuilder ever
@@MrSuperPsymon Considering that they sacrifice their health, quality of life and longevity pumping drugs to look a certain way, I'd say it's pretty hardcore
@@MrSuperPsymon he said hardcore BODYBUILDER not hardcore average joe!
@@MrSuperPsymon it certainly is at the pro level ( watch Dorians old training vids). Keep in mind, Arnold n Franco laid bricks for work. Most old school bb's like Dorian grew up poor and had to work odd jobs, bust ass, THEN after all that go train. Hardcore, mate.
You dont know about ronnie coleman mate?
@@gummyd.dragon8254 sure drugs are unhealthy but I said a bout the training mostly he was training hard and heavy in a shityy gym with the basic equipment and he had a very good.physique for many years Ronnie Coleman was hardcore as much but Dorian was the.first one
I’m a simple man, I see Dorian, I watch
Same 💪🏾
Ya the whole I'm a simple man I see so and so I click is annoying and trite. No offense intended mate. It's just old.
Michael Miller nice job wasting time replying to a random comment on a CZcams vid bro, hope you’re happy with how you’ve used your time.
@3 name changes allowed every 90 days. he made people vomit i once almost died from vonting not somthing to be proud of dorian people die from mental health problems everyday go put money into mental health dorian mr im a tough guy
STFU!
arnie was from a small town in austria, very austere background, who rose and rose and fulfilled his big dream - dorian from a big city, a brummie but who pulled himself from a life of crime and hardship to excel and reach the peak. Both inspirational stories, basically I take this away : YOU make your life choices, learn and study from what others have been through
Arnold succeeded in bodybuilding with Joe Weider's judges help! Without Weider's publicity he would have never had the success that he had! Joe Weider's golden boy/ money maker!
@@olderthanyoucali8512 being good in politics is also part of the game, but I get your point.
@@olderthanyoucali8512 That’s a bit ignorant. You don’t just become a golden boy without any qualities. He’s still head and shoulders above his competition during his era and could’ve easily won 10+ Olympias had he stuck around. His success in other arias of life are proof of his skills and determination. You don’t just “get” lucky and picked to be a poster boy without reason. That’s every loser’s excuse for not being on top or their life sucking.
@@ventsislavstefanov9590 he was literally transferred from Austria to US by Weider brothers.
@@Ironborne And how did that happen? They chose him because he was the most handsome? They closed their eyes ,pointed a finger in the air and it landed on Arnold? Or maybe he was the most promising candidate who already trained and looked very good. Would’ve it happened if he did nothing and just complained how life in Austria is hard? I don’t think so. Happens every day, talented and promising athletes get picked up on events all the time. That’s what happens when you put in the work and you’re actually good.
What I respect about Dorian was that he was one of the earlier champions to tell the truth about steroids.
Arnold and others told about steroids way earlier
A lot of Americans won't do it cause steroids are illegal for personal non-prescribed use in the US. It's practically legal to own steroids for personal use in the UK and during Arnold's era you could get a prescription from a doctor.
@@Zombies8MyPizza but there’s always SARMS
@@Horseycowmulepig lol there's always one isn't there 😂
@@Zombies8MyPizza He tells people they're safe when they're not. They can do a lot of damage to your body. He's lucky to have the genetics he has. Plenty of others from the 90's are now dead.
I love watching Dorian Yates talk - to me he's one of the most interesting and certainly sincere, decent people, I've watched on the internet. He's so inspiring!!
Yessir I agree. I actually just learned about Dorian and been binge watching everything of him I can find. Very inspiring and humble guy.
Dorian is and was one of the greatest bodybuilder of his time barnone!!!!!!!. He train with heavy weight and was one of the strongest bodybuilder that ever lived. Only Ronnie trained with more weight than him... My hat goes off to this great bodybuilder!!!!!!!!. Much respect to this great man...
Just love this man .. very decent very humble very low profile .. never insults or gets angry or shows hatred
Focusing on himself and his world ... always talking science and logic and useful stuff
A real sports icon
You are so right! With all the people that have fucked him over or taken advantage of his kindness, he holds zero grudges. Pulls no punches and tells you exactly what he’s thinking. If he doesn’t like you he will say it right then to your face and move on. It’s so refreshing that he’s not teaching something like life coaches do he’s literally just telling you how he lives and how to get things done. I feel he could very well be a life coach.
Dorian is a legend, truly inspirational person with mindset of champion. I remember 3 years ago, i've been in Marbella with my gf, we found out that his gym was few miles away of hotel, so we went there, walking down stairs to entrance, i opened door, then my gf said quietly to me "he's here'' i freezed. Thoughts crossed my mind was like: "you fckin kidding me. One of my biggest idols, bodybuilding legend, Mr Olympia its just few meters away?? OMG! Took me about 10seconds to back to my body and turn around. He was there, doing some interview, his dog went to us, happy, wanted to play, then Dorian said to us smiling "Watch out for dog, is dangerous!" :D
Dorian Yates is the man. Says it like it is. I've met him on numerous occasions working in the gym in Marbella that previously bore his name. I don't like to bother him but I spoke with him a few times and he is humble and down to earth. As is his lovely wife Gal, no pretentiousness just plain and simply honest. What he doesn't know about training does not exist.
Forget Arnold. There should be a movie of Dorian Yates
What would it be called?
Dates ? ^ 😂
Shadow Dates.
Iron Shadow: The Story of Dorian YEEEEETS
Later this year there will be one made by Generation Iron
I learned a lot from this... Thanks for letting him complete his thoughts.
Honestly, I could be listening to this man for hours.
Dorian is interesting too
True Champion! Shows what can be achieved when you have iron clad determination, strict discipline and hard work, who would have thought a lad from the midlands in the UK could destroy the competition on such a world stage.....a genuine legend in Bodybuilding.
Great interview. Dorian is a wise man, lots can be learned from his wisdom.
Always good to see a fellow rocky fan. Nice avatar bro
I would bet money that the shadow govt faked the death of Tommy Morrison like they did with 2pac, Cobain and John Lennon.
Who is the SHADOW GOVERNMENT???
Awesome interview. Dorian is a HUGE and IMORTAL legend in bodybuilding.
One of the best interviews I've ever heard. Taking time, no rush. Congratulations to you both!
I didn't know Lex Luther does interviews 😁 Legendary!!!
HAHAHAHA his purpose here is creating a super warrior based on Dorian's DNA to defeat Superman
Somebodyy saaaveee meeeeeee
I like watching Dorian interviews.
I just feel he is really genuine and has crazy work ethic...
I can listen to Dorian all day, every day. It applies to so many endeavors, not just BBing.
I'm sure you've seen Joe Rogan interview him a couple of years ago, great podcast.
@@maskof Yeah, was riveted. It was great.
Dorian is full of wisdom. Such a knowledgeable person - would love to have the opportunity to be on his pt course. Thanks for the interview.
The best interview I’ve watched on CZcams.
My absolute favourite bodybuilder! #1
Always straight to the point with absolutely no BS. The best interviews and Q&A's are always with Dorian, the GOAT in bodybuilding.
Dorian Yates fockin hell ya fockin legend
This is what I really admire about Dorian. Despite the success he has in his life he still puts time out to talk about his past. Give back to his fans.
He’s always such a fantastic person to interview, such real, raw and honest content. Got to love Dorian and what he’s about. Always one of my favourite body builders of all time.
Dorian developed his body as a means to an end. He never became attached to it. So unlike a lot of bodybuilders who started from a position of insecurity, he never worried about being "a nobody" when he was no longer 300lbs.
holy fuck I never thought about this way
I was 14 when I started lifting weights, still at it at 41. Saw an image of Dorien on flex and that was it for me! Always bought flex with my pocket money after. My favourite bodybuilder of all time💯
Same
Phenomenal interview. Dorian is so inspiration, such a gentleman and great guy. You seem to make him feel so relaxed. Thank you
Much of Love from Germany Frankfurt . You are a living legend and May God Continue to bless you
Dorian Yates is the most relatable bodybuilder ever.
A normal bloke accomplishing amazing things.
I think that testing your body and yourself and building a physique is one of the most natural things for a man to do. And so is moderating adapting to circumstances.
*TEST E *
Genius bodybuilder : his insane conditioning and granite like physique will never be matched👏👏
Trained with him about 8 years ago, didn't vomit but what I learnt has changed how I train ever since, plus temple gym is a sanctuary, I urge any serious lifter to train there, it's an experience not worth missing
Interesting story. Carry on? I am listening. 😁👍
Dorian Yates is one of the few people that I can listen to for hours and hours- absolutely love the guy
Brilliant interview! Great questions that Dorian sparked up and you let him roll. Seems like you were on point so Dorian knew the interview was part of his higher calling.
Your sincerity of interest shined threw. Congratulations!
Best of Dorian Yates
Thank you!
Didn't expect to watch the whole thing but this was a really great interview. I only found out about Dorian today and it's amazing to see such a prominent figure in the Body Building industry to be such an inspiration on mental beliefs on that anything it attainable through simple mindset shifts and beliefs, truly an inspiration.
Always a great interview is DY. I must admit, Ive been watching all of his interviews he has done the past 12 months or so, and he certainly looks much healthier than he did back in his competition days IMHO.
I've seen so many of Dorian Yates videos and I'm still gripped by them. LEGEND
So FREAKING AWESOME!
Very very great interview!
I have listened twice, and picked up all of my favorites parts from this interview to listen over and over again! Man, amazing! What a hero!
Your picture looks like a stray hair. Lol.
I never listen to nothing he says. From a man who bought every piece of hgh in Ireland when he was here only says he used small doses it talking lots of shit.
"If I have you 45 minutes twice in a week, I will transform you!!!"
He's the man💪💪💪💪
He would make you die in that 45 minutes.haha. prob 10 minutes
Excellent interview - great conversation! Thanks to both of you for life lessons and insights that were shared.
Love Hearing Dorian talk. Very insightful and refreshing to
Listen to. 💪🏼
Training is meditation. Respect to Mr Yates for giving us a glimpse into a winners mentality. Cheers from Canada!
Very good interview. The interviewer is a Lance Armstrong doppelganger.
Ai love listening to Dorian. A true champion in more ways than one. Great interview, keep up the good work.
What a great interview. Dorian Yates is my new favorite body builder now. This is going to be my go to video when i feel lost. I learned so much from how to train the right way to how to control and be in control of my thoughts because what i am thinking about from one second to the next is vital to my success and happiness or to my misery and failings. I understand how to slow my thoughts down, and how to live the right way. I have been in need of something and i think Dorian just provided that something. A big thank you to you Dorian.
Dorian sounds like a good person. - Thank you very much for the Video!
I've always loved this guy. Always.
Fantastic interview, very inspiring thanks. Let's Dorian talk freely with little interruption. In fact I now feel like taking up training again!
This was gr8,dorian has so much wisdom,I could listen to this interview over and over
Great Interview, the Right questions and answers.I keep coming back to see if I missed anything...Cheers!...
Great interview! So many amazing lessons.
Dorian was shredded to the bone when he walked on stage totally massive and peeled to the bone.
Awesome interview, well done. Sir Yates was very candid, wonderful insight. Continued blessings sir
Dorian is one of the few top rail body building pros I actually respect. Intelligent and honest like that .
This is one of best heart to heart interview I have ever seen.
Great content, thank you for posting
Very informative, honest interview. How he talks about setting goals, working w intensity and how you need to balance the parts of your life and training really hit a nerve w me. The detail of the explanations of why and how his methods work. First time I’ve ever heard Dorian and I was amazed by his knowledge thru experience and what a down to earth guy he is. Thank you.
Fantastic interview. Great insights & inspiration from Dorian. Plus interviewer himself did a great job with very good questions.
Very Great Interview! Dorian was and is a real Star for me 👍🏻
Great interview! The mark of a great man or woman is the ability to communicate their greatness. Dorian Yates can do that
Greatest champion in bodybuilding.. Dorian Yates changed the sport forever with his size and grainy hardness. Poetry in motion baby!!!
From this interview, Dorian's intelligence and wisdom is abundantly clear. Superb. Thank you.
The Hercules of Birmingham. Classic physique all the way and a true champion👍🏻🇬🇧
Regardless of all his hard work, his epic intensity and extreme mentality he has ELITE GENETICS! Google his pics only a year after training= The boy looks better and bigger than most guys who have been training for 5+ yrs.
Regardless. He still worked his ass off and completely upped the game level.
Good knowledge of nutrition, recovery and pharmaceuticals too!
Fantastic, insightful interview! I learned so much. Thanks!!!👍🏻😃
Best interview with Dorian so far. Great work lads.
I have seen most Dorian's interviews and this is my favorite. Great questions!
Great Interview, very informative!
I've seen this interview a few times now but this is the first time I've actually watched it., totally inspiring.
I love how straight forward Darian is. Such a big inspiration for me.
Anything with Dorian Yates is amazing 😉 love it.
I trained in his gym I love Damian I’m from Birmingham this man is my hero 🦸♀️ his interviews inspires me I know castle vale estate it was a bit tough but this man is a street wise legend love him
@@mcchocolito4326 Damian also spelled Damien is the son of Satan and the antichrist from the Omen.
There will never be another Dorian Yates..What an amazing human being. Best of the best for me..And he's one of ours! English 👊🏽
These are excellent. Thanks for presenting these interviews.
Following Dorian's description of his early time makes me think that would be a good movie :-D
Yeah it would be good like a council estate peaky blinders but with muscle
The key to training is to train smart so that when you get older you can still walk and won't need knee replacements among many other things. Focus, isolation, and slow movements with lighter weight will accomplish the same things as training hard with super heavy weight and it's much safer. Remember, your muscles can't distinguish the amount of weight or reps if you train properly.

Fantastic interview, Dorian is such an awesome person
Great video, listening to great people talk about a subject that they know about! 👍🏻
great man sensible talk always admired him.
Dorian Yates. Excelent, congratulations desde Sudamerican - Bolivia
I completely understand how Dorian's mind works, the place he was in mentally, reserved, him being his toughest critic, how he has to do better, the commitment. 🔥
Great interview, Dorian comes across very honest when talking about his career 👍🏻
40:35 is where a big lesson is to be learnt for young aspiring people.👏
Two great blokes , very interesting quistions, very good interviewer & great insight to Dorian/a great bodybuilders lifestyle 🙂👍 Thanks mate cheers!!..
Thanks for this great Podcast , I wish you showed some pictures of DY i remember see him magazine my brother had , he wore electric blue lyrics pants and looked amazing. Such a lovely humble person . Sports got me through life I loved bodybuilding and still do it .
When my dad died i curbed my anger by lifting . That was my way out . I got jacked fast really fast.
Hope your doing well. When dads die boys become their own hero, that’s either fantastic or outright scary. I’ve struggled being the son of a deceased father. When men get pushed it’s our response that’s in our control. So respond well gents.
@@duramaxdad great comment. I lost my dad 8 years ago and I used my anger and frustration to fuel my work outs.
We all need an outlet man, I’m glad you choose the right one
What an inspiration...in bodybuilding and life. Love this mans views.
Listen to the legends to become one. Great interview!
Very insightful man. Great interview.
Dorian is the definition of discipline, hard work, goal-setting, consistency, and inspiration.
He is not the only non-american multiple mister Olympia, there’s also Arnold
He became American. Heck he was the Governor of Cali
Rajesh Waran he is still austrian
@@rajeshwaran108 he became American after his BB story
This Was a fantastic interview learned a lot.
LOVE WHEN YOU INTERVIEW DORIAN AND FRANK !
