That’s the one he followed from 1990 to 1997. He followed the other one from 1985 to 1990. He did an AB split from '83 to '85.

He had more than one routine, mate.
Awesome videos! The black and white seemed to fit Yates’ videos more than others with his old-world work ethic and underground gym.

I meant the one he used during the blood and guts video
Is there somewhere I can see the details of his different splits, other than the one in his blood and guts video?
Thanks.

Tip: You have the WRONG mindset if you simply focus on trying to copy some routine he did instead of understanding WHY he trained like that for his own body at that particular time.
There is LOGIC behind why I am doing shoulders today and not yesterday.

I don’t intend to copy his routines, I’m just trying to educate myself. I don’t blindly follow anything.
But I understand why you posted what you posted.
I like the p90x add at the bottom of the first video

"I’m 300lbs, unless you’ve been training for 35 years you couldn’t possibly understand why I posted what I posted.
Why the fuck are you even on this forum if you don’t understand that you can’t understand what an Olympian understands?"[/quote]
Troll-- take it and your multiple accounts elswhere.

Cool. A lot of people here seem to not understand that.
Dude, you guys look like you’re related. Seriously, I had to double check to see which one was Dorian Yates’ face, lol.

Pause that “best of” video of Dorian at 52/53 seconds… I was shocked the first time I saw that and had to go back and make sure it wasn’t shadows playing a trick on my eye.
I have always considered Dorian the thinking man’s bodybuilder, one of my favorites of all time for sure. [/quote]
SCOTT:
Scott Abel said that Dorian trained the wrong way and that he would’ve progressed and looked better if he trained like an Abel Body. [/quote]
Not sure where you heard that one.
I edited an article from Scott Abel recently where he goes on at length about how much he admired Yates, even going so far as telling his training partner to simply watch Dorian lift and learn from it.
Bryan, I believe this is the article that was referenced by Bricknyce: Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION
Best of the Best of the Back
by Scott Abel
09/04/07
Dorian Yates had a big back, but he trained it wrong. You heard me, wrong. At least that’s what Scott Abel says. But you know something? After we read this article, Scott convinced us. We’re now doing it the Abel way.
You can buy his books, “Blood and Guts” and “A Warrior’s Story”.
Just skimmed it; he criticizes Yates’ rowing technique but certainly doesn’t say Dorian could’ve been better had he trained with Scott.
His exact words are “Of course Dorian was a great champion, but this exercise was a mistake.” Hardly damning.
Not trying to position myself as an Abel apologist; just trying to keep y’all honest.
Thanks for coming up with that link.

Ahh, it was in the teaser title. Makes sense now.
It’s your dedicated editors who come up with those lines. So I’m gonna pin that one on Shugart. I can smell his milk-hating ways a mile away.
Scott Abel: "“How do we know that Dorian couldn’t look better and progress better using other training ‘styles’.”
Yeah, he could have looked better - better than what was needed to lose only 1 contest in his whole career, win a shitload of Olympia and Grand Prix contests, and hold his own against Matthew Mendenhall at age 24.
Thanks.
