Dorian Yates- Blood and guts

[mattvdh]

This is my new personal favourite BB video for motivation. The level of intensity Yates combined with his training partner was just insane. He has the best sayings to get you pumped up, it actually pretty hilarious. It's like the drill sergeant from Full metal jacket.

'Get NASTY!!!'
''DIESEL!!''

I like how much emphasis he put on the static and negative aspect of his contractions. I've noticed that when he coaches other BB's he really makes them concentrate on those those aspects, it humbles a lot of guys and they have to cut the weight down big time because they aren't accustomed to that much of a squeeze. His 'proper form' is vastly more thorough than most other BB's form I've personally seen in DVD's. Most guys just rep through their sets like mad men and only really focus on the positives. Yates' style was very intense and deliberate, you can see why he's known for his epic work ethic.

I love Yates but not too crazy about his training technique, he messed up his shoulder and forced himself to retire early. I bet if he was a little more conservative he would have won few more mr. O's. yes great motivation video, love watching him workout.

[mattvdh]

Yeah he's mentioned in a few other more recent videos that in retrospect he would have appreciated if someone would've told him to tone it down a bit before contests. I'm not sure about his shoulder buy I know he tore his bicep. But ya they were just sadistic in the gym, it's basically proof of the extremes one can take the body to.

[sapo59]

He trained like a beast... I find Dorian Yates to be very motivational. Just my two cents

[krugerr]

His intensity and methods are something that I routinely try to incorporate. I have a little training book with his Blood&Guts written in it, I often stick to this with the exception of chest days, where I use dumbells.

Best growth, best doms, best intensity. I wish I had seen this 7 years ago. I spent so long just going through the motions. Imagine where you could be if you knew at the beginning what you know now!

Summary: HIT > All other methods.
If you wish to disagree, then you have to fight Marcus in the cage.

its probably for the better, bro. i believe his level of intensity, or anywhere close to it, is only for advanced bbers only. if a beginner is to seriously try this method, it could end in disaster. with a solid base of regular training under your belt, you can now safely "enjoy" the gains and pain from HIT.

Here's a Q&A with Dorian worth checking out. I seriously just learned a shit load of awesome ideas I'm going to incorporate in to my program. I feel like that caveman in the movie quest for fire that learns how to rub two sticks together and creates fire...seriously enlightening words of wisdom from the man. The guy is a genius. He talks about the human body/physiology in terms of mechanics and motor functions rather than just parroting what he's read or seen. His views are very practical and logical, if it doesn't work he doesn't do it. Like he eliminated squats because it caused him injuries and when he incorporated hack squats he made all kinds of gains. That's like the most highly revered exercise in BB and PL and he said F that, doesn't work for me....it might work for other people's body types, but not me and my narrow hips. He also said he hates flat bench and thinks lunges are silly--he made the most gains with decline during his reign and never did flat bench.

Beginners can actually utilize similar training principles quite effectively. Especially using 1 working set. Basically taking moderate jumps to get to that working set, saving your energy for that one working set. It is especially beneficial to beginners, they don't need to take it to the level of yates. But it can be done, and it can be even more effective than other traditional protocols. The beginner may not need to train past failure but up to it, tends to keep things safer for someone starting out.

His style is definitely not for beginners, but definitely good to learn for when you become more advanced. For a beginner I just take the first 6 months getting your muscles more conditioned and build up a tolerance for greater stress, and just get to know the exercises and figure out what works for your body. Then after a while you can start implementing the HIT methods, but wait until you have a foundation imo, you'll likely injure yourself.

HIT is by far my favorite program. In and out of the gym in 45 min feeling completely wasted. I have been a fan of Yates since I started lifting in the early 90's. The man knows his stuff.

[sawyer86]

If he didnt train the way he did he may no of won any mr o titles.

To each his own brother. I know plenty of people, competitive body builders and strength coaches included, who have made some of their best gains using a higher volume approach. There is no one method that is best for everybody. And if that's not enough, go ask Arnold! And, as much as I love Marcus, Arnold > Marcus.

That's true. Man the 90's was an awesome era for BB, they really raised the bar during that period. Probably my favorite era.

[JCFobsession]

Aaaggggggghhh man watched that video or clips downy times

DY is the man. My favorite BB, his blood and guts training is great I primarily stick to his training technique most of the year!!

I agree, different strokes. But it is the theory of overload and failure. This can happen at different weights and reps. Some people whether it be body type, weight or age may have to mix it up more times during their on going training month after month.

Everyone in every sport want to train like the champ. They want to emulate the best and believe that it will work for them. In many cases I doesn't.
The principals of overload with increasing weight to break down and repair. So many factors come in to play and therefore many routines. I'll bet you that Dorian hasn't trained like this for his entire career. The principal yes. They stay the same.

Great video, fantastic , thanks ...crazy mike

Class video, his training partner would be a great motivator to anyone hammering you for the last once of effort

[mattvdh]

I need to find a training partner as intense and Leroy Davis.
He's still at it. I posted a link but it blocked it out for some reason.

[gbrice75]

Exactly. Personally, I mix it up. IMHO, sticking with one training style year round is shortchanging oneself (not to mention boring as fuk). Why limit oneself? I'll go at it for 3 months of low volume, high intensity, etc. then jump to a higher volume approach. And by high volume, I don't mean 10x10 type shit - I'll do 5 sets, tops.

Yea.... I believe that was his cycle at 21 lmao

[mattvdh]

I don't see why he would have any reason to lie about, it's ancient history at this point and he doesn't compete any more.
Some people say that he was on HGH and IGF-1 but he denies it and says he doesn't know the first thing about either.
