LOL.
I’ll be torturing myself in about 2 hours. I want my lats as least half as big as his.
X: Just remember Scott Abel telling us that he trained his back the wrong way. After all, Scott himself went head-to-head with Dorian on the professional stage.
there is a sick enjoyment that occurs, you either like training or you don’t. Those who think of going to the gym as a chore never succeed and usually quit and restart perpetually. don’t get me wrong somedays the gym is a real bitch but i’m always happy/satisfied that i’ve gone…
off to hit chest, off to war!

Hahaha you’re never going to let that go, are you? 
Was Dorian a skinhead or something back in the day (tattoos, head, beer, bleached jeans)? Cause if so that would be pretty sweet.
Nevermind, his shirt says ‘Brummie Skins’, haha. Guess that settles it for me.

Not sure “pretty sweet” is the phrase you’re looking for. Definitely interesting though.
The “pretty sweet” made me raise an eyebrow too JB…
Isn’t ‘skinhead’ also an umbrella term, comprising both bald guys with political idelogies (leftist/rightist) and without?

No. He was a skin head (politically/racially) and even he acknowledged how it was viewed worldwide which is why he got the tats removed.
Skin head is not used for people who just shave their head unless someone is simply stereotyping someone.
If a friend asks me a training question, I no longer waste the time to explain. I tell them to go on google videos and search “Blood and Guts” to learn everything they will ever need to know about training.
Yates is a legend, and my biggest inspiration and motivational tool for training - every time.
OK, so, he was a dumbass teen (what else is new) and nobody really cares what he thinks about anything except bodybuilding/training/etc.
Back to the things that really matter about Dorian Yates in this thread.
*edit – posted wrong link, duh.
Was just searching about his diets, on- and off-season, and came across this.
He says off season is 5500 cals per day, which surprised me. Could someone more informed tell me how much he was weighing in when “Blood and Guts” (the book) was being written, since this is apparently an excerpt (I have the vid, but not the book ).

I was rummaging through some old boxes the other night and came across my old Blood and Guts book. It has a lot of cool pics and info about Dorian and I thought I would post up his diet just so you could get an idea of how the guy ate. I know this stuff is always interesting to see. Anyway, here it is.
WHAT I EAT ON A TYPICAL DAY
I’m usually up by 6:30 or 7 every morning. Early each morning I weigh my food out for the entire day. About 8 a.m. I have my breakfast, which will consist of 200 grams (7 ounces) of oatmeal, 10-12 egg whites, two or three egg yolks, banana, one or two pieces of whole wheat toast. I drink coffee and mineral water. For supplements, I take a mega-pak of vitamins and minerals and two or three grams of peptide-bond amino acids.
My preworkout meal at 10:30 a.m. will have a protein powder-preferably from milk and egg sources-mixed with a carbohydrate powder, all mixed in water along with two or three grams of peptide-bond amino acids.
My postworkout meal between 2 and 2:30 p.m. includes eight ounces of turkey, 150 grams (5 ounces) of rice, 300 grams (10.5 ounces) of sweet potatoes, sweet corn, another vegetable, water, two or three grams of peptide-bond amino acids and branched-chain amino acids.
My next meal is at 4:30 or 5 p.m. I have seven ounces of tuna, 150 grams (5 ounces) of rice, salad, baked potato, water and another mega-pak of vitamins and minerals along with two or three grams of peptide-bond amino acids.
My fifth meal at 7:30 or 8 p.m., I have eight ounces of steak, baked potato, mixed with vegetables, water and two or three grams of peptide-bond amino acids.
My final meal is at 10 or 10:30 p.m. I have 200 grams (7 ounces) of oatmeal, eight to 10 egg whites, water and two or three grams of peptide-bond amino acids.
That is what I typically eat in the off-season. It comes to about 5,500 calories per day. I’ve found that caloric amount to be just enough to gain weight at a slow and steady pace. I don’t measure my water intake and drink as much as I think I need troughout the day.
